Another playtest.

Improvements but not enough.
After a one-hour playtest, I have a new set of tasks to complete.

Pain points, pain points, pain points.

So many points of confusion... and some performance issues. Having an infinite number of shadow-casting lights is a bad idea.

the discourse on what jobs are acceptable to replace with generative AI reveals a lot about what we think of other people's jobs

Finally reading The Mortal Thor.

Al Ewing continues to be one of the finest writers in comics.

the more genAI is pushed on us the more I fall in love with that rough, less polished, more obviously painted, sketchy, messy, charcoal-stained type of art that just screams with every brush and penstroke that human hands have touched it.

Sitting a stewing in frustration isn't nearly as cathartic as just designing a poster. Let's see how often I remember that in 2026.

They don't want you to know this but you can just put everything into async tasks and you don't have to worry about performance anymore

I've been struck by the question of: Since the rendering is vertex bound, why not make a greedy mesh for the shadow casting only?

It doesn't need to worry about splitting for AO or texture. Just greedy mesh as much as possible to reduce vertices for shadow casting.

Half the frametime is dir shadow

I'd like to thank the Starfield Creation Kit for making me buy RAM before the Sam Altman gluttony.

I will not be launching it again

From the ocean, a creature crawls ashore. Their eyes are bloodshot & crazed.

45 thousand years from now they will be the end of an empire.

44 thousand and 940 years from now they will be dead.

40 thousands years from now they will wish they were.

1 minute from now they will realise what is lost.

His back was high and bulgy
And claws on his hairy paw

I love compression. 1024 bytes to 19.

I wish for 300 km/h
5️⃣ Speeds above 200 km/h
🔹 On main European routes.
🔹 Because sustainability can be fast.

6️⃣ Clear timelines
🔸 Bottlenecks gone by 2027
🔸 New links by 2035
🔸 Full roll-out by 2040
