Need some blood pressure medication after that game, but Blue Jays win! Now I just need the Mariners to win on Friday so I can go to a game next week

All wrapped for SIGGRAPH this year. Leaving exhausted and full of ideas as usual, ready to not have the time to explore 90% of them.

Heading to SIGGRAPH this year for the first time in a while. Surely there’s been nothing new in graphics in the past, say, 5 years?

This basically sums up my experience at Microsoft - dozens of opportunities squandered by mismanagement by people who never will be held accountable. Much love to all the folks getting laid off today.

Seems obvious that he’d be Thénardier - shifty landlords that go bankrupt and resort to looting corpses
Reporter: Have you seen the musical before and do you identify more with Jean Valjean or Javert?
Trump: Oh, that's a tough one, the last part of that question. That's tough, I think. You better answer that one, honey. I don't know. I've seen it. We've seen it a number of times. It's fantastic.

This is really nice. Image transitions are annoying because they depend on the execution order of individual commands, but need to be recorded as part of a command buffer, and can't be dealt with by just adding a timeline semaphore or something between queueSubmit calls.
Probably the most important Vulkan update since dynamic rendering is live!

The doom 2016 Siggraph talk is one my all time favs, hope they do another one this year (or an Indy one, that game is jaw dropping)
Today on Digital Foundry, a deep dive into Doom: The Dark Ages and the stunning id Tech 8 engine. New features are showcased, behind-the-scenes engine visualisations are shared. A lot of effort went into this one and we hope you enjoy it: youtu.be/Ed4vNNQwCDU

Guess I should start carrying my passport with me to try and score some discounts. Very curious to see what the crowd is like at the Mariners series this weekend, it’s normally packed with visitors, but I suspect it’ll be quiet

!['Open Arms for Canada' discount offered to Canadian tourists in Seattle this weekend
https://www.fox13seattle.com/news/discount-canadian-tourists-seattle
Canadian tourists vising Seattle for the Toronto Blue Jays series will get a roughly a 30% discount at select restaurants and businesses this weekend.
It's part of the "Open Arms for Canada" campaign, an effort to bring in more Canadian tourists.
SEATTLE - Dozens of Seattle restaurants, attractions and hotels are taking part in the Open Arms for Canada campaign to bring in more Canadian tourists.
What they're saying:
"We're approaching 40 businesses and organizations that will accept Canadian currency at par, roughly a 30% discount, if they come to Seattle and show us a [Canadian] driver's license or passport," said Bob Donegan, President and CEO of Ivar's.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:bumu6s332o24fppobse7j3ms/bafkreid7s6njzwbppymcms7jnkxapnoyxzlmz5fqoypl4zcsesekftxdia@jpeg)
