RTM Blueprint Exceptions
A plugin providing a clean and easy way to implement Blueprint Exceptions in your UE5 codebase, from Blueprints or cpp code, with automatic breakpointing on errors and integration with the Message Log...

Also in exciting news: I've published my little blueprint exceptions plugin on the Fab store. It lets you raise blueprint exceptions from Blueprints and CPP using Assert and Verify behaviors. With support for auto-breakpointing on errors and custom diagnostic messages

My dude, can I suggest listening to music other people have made? Turns out a lot of people actually enjoy creating things and some of them are really good at it

At work (on @sleightofhand.game), we now have level designers constantly slammin' new maps in and updating older ones. It got hard to make sure I played them all, so I made this editor tool which just displays all levels in order of when they were last saved!
Sorta more annoying to do than expected

On consistent thing with this GenAI Hype is how many use cases can already be automated in other, better cheaper ways. But the funniest is "use AI to turn bulletpoints into email and vice versa on the other end" because you don't need any tech for that, you can just send bullet point lists
I reported a few months ago that in August Microsoft had only 8 million active paying users of Microsoft 365 Copilot. So tired of his company! Wow you’re gonna have 220 million paying subscribers, crazy, are you going to conjure a genie too? How about a dragon? Fantastical bullshit

you know I used to say that going from 120Hz to 240Hz for monitor refresh rate wasn't super worth it, but today I had my first moment of spontaneously *noticing* my monitor had dropped to 120 Hz, likely due a change of TV/hdmi setup yesterday

This is actually really cool. This is a farmer who rescues sheep that would otherwise be culled because the can't be breezed, and donates profits to queer charities

One thing is that I don't think most people know how completely different the hardcore sim market is from the general games market

Doing some emergency surgery on my tiny baby build server. Fan started clanking horribly this week. But dismantling it, cleaning with isopropyl alcohol and adding some sewing machine lubricant seems to have it back on track. Fan is back in and been running for 30 mins with no bad noises so 🤞

the thing about the roblox interview is that he's more or less just saying out loud what every social media & gacha CEO has been doing for the last 10+ years. selling kids gambling with the minimal legally allowed guardrails is hot profits rn

For all the NYT is doing wrong (a lot), this is the brightest spot of real journalism I’ve seen from the outlet.
This is what every journo should be doing with Roblox and every other platform/company/exec with power.
Getting Baszucki to admit he wants kids gambling on his platform is ace work.

This game industry idea that the kids growing up today are only going to play the big live service games in the future always seemed highly dubious coming out of the same exec mouths that drove the current games industry into the ground.
