Spent September living in a Ronald McDonald House while my daughter was in the hospital, spent last month trying to help her cope with now being legally blind and having new mobility issues. Been buried in contract work all the while, which has been exceptionally stressful!

Time will destroy everything, but it destroys those who give a shit even faster. Good bye, my friend.

Projecting KI collision space with perfect accuracy, I noticed that hit shapes significantly deviate from the visuals across stages! Take a look at the different offsets for Fulgore's idle hit shape at the same scale/frame on 3 different stages.

The next BigInstinct will have a training mode, which goes beyond any training mode I've ever seen: hit shape visualization, exact frame timing displays, slow motion, and a lot more!

Praising the Lords live in Tucson, with BigPEmu for iOS and VLM! (VLM is responding to live audio from the microphone)
Amazing performance from @lordsofacid.bsky.social! Couldn’t have asked for a better set list.

Cross your eyes and behold a true miracle of emulation: Killer Instinct in stereoscopic 3D at 60 FPS! It's working beautifully on every stage in both KI and KI2.

I now have all of the Killer Instinct timing and signal data anyone could ever want, thanks to the kind folks at Level One Arcade Bar in Mesa, AZ!
As a bonus, we got to see @justjakesimpson.bsky.social when he still had hair in NBA Jam.

The beta release of BigInstinct is coming next week! I've made a video demonstrating some of the features, including silky smooth netplay with up to 16-frame rollback and, oh yes, BRAND NEW STEREO SOUND! Grab your headphones for this clip.

Through the power of DickTrainer Emulation Technology, Killer Instinct has achieved average frame times in the realm of 1.3 milliseconds; single-threaded on a 2.5GHz Intel CPU and with no attempt to optimize the ADSP! Planning to get a beta build to the patrons in a few weeks.

If you’re a developer in the emulation/reverse engineering space and you’re aware of the culture of commercial exploitation and/or personal abuse, please send a DM! I’m building a group, because it’s time to recognize and stop the madness. 10 of us so far.

I'm sad to say that funding has been pulled on my KI/KI2 emulator. However, I still want to make this thing; I love KI, I'm pretty far along, and this emulator beats everything in terms of accuracy, speed, and functionality. Here's the situation, the plan, and how you can help!

This is correct. For the last decade, I’ve been warning people about the longer-term consequences Blender would have on labor value for both artists and developers/contributors. Every penny in a peer’s pocket was a dime in the master’s. Blender’s corporate sponsors aren’t there to be altruistic.
the fact is that they are terrible businesses and that's why nearly every major 3D tool has been sold multiple times, before ending up as part of a megacorp that didn't realize it would be impossible to turn it into the next photoshop or autocad.

I can't currently say much about why I'm writing a KI emulator from scratch (including a new MIPS III core which aims to achieve dynarec-like speeds without any dynarec), but I am, and IT'S ALIVE!

Is it normal for "3-5 day" Steam product reviews to end up being a terrible month-long process where no feedback/clarification is provided for weeks at a time, or is Gabe giving me special treatment again?
