How do these drawings by Albrecht Dürer make you feel? Tap and swipe for full view. 1. Praying Hands (1508), ink on blue paper 2. Study of the Feet of an Apostle (1508) ink on green paper

@NHI1337 @GradyMusk0 @PalmerLuckey To me it is mainly the way they squeezed so much fun and creativity out of a single, simple, mechanic. And the boss fights that they achieved with it were outstanding

One of the real bummers of the N64 software library is that despite being extraordinarily capable as a 2D system, almost all of the effort went into 3D games. Makes sense, that was the shiny new selling point, but the hardware is capable of so much as a sort of Super-SNES.

@lemire Used to be the only place I'd consistently see em dashes was in the Bible. But now LLMs have caused the em dash to lose its prestige. x.com/GarlicBroccoli…

This is your periodic reminder that the em dash (–) should be your favourite punctuation mark. Compare: If you offered young people four years at a prestigious university for free—on the condition that they could never mention they attended it—few would accept. with If you offered young people four years at a prestigious university for free, on the condition that they could never mention they attended it, few would accept. See the difference ? Commas get lost in the noise of your text. The em dash is much more distinctive. On my macbook, with a French Canadian keyboard, I generate the em dash with option-shift-equal. My AI tells me that for English speaking folks on a macBook, it is option-shift-hyphen. It tells me that under Windows, it is Windows + Shift + -. Try it. I learned about em dash from Silvia, in his book « How to write a lot ». He is the reason you get to read so much of my prose.

@XorDev @washghost1 Well said, brother. Also, check it out: GI bounces in Ephesians 😅

@CindySinor So "simple" yet showing fantastic mastery over light & color.

Which American artist painted these sunlit steps in 1878?

@pureMetatron Was this from Silent Hill: The Room? Looks familiar, but it's been a long time

Best door in gaming.

@XorDev @runevision Saw the video on youtube recently. So good

New on Metal by Example: Slug The patent on the Slug text rendering algorithm has been donated to the public domain, so I implemented it in Metal and wrote a bit about it [article and sample code links in reply]

@Pirat_Nation He can’t figure out where they got all those first aid sprays

Capcom just revealed the Resident Evil 4 merchant is now broke Over the past three years, players sold items worth 43.25 trillion pesetas but only bought 39.91 trillion back. He's now down 3.34 trillion pesetas and facing foreclosure.

@theepicmap Hmm... What does the 'A' in "USA" stand for? I'm also confused by the map in the right, the name is too ambiguous: Which "United States"? The United States of Mexico, or The United States of America? If only one of the former two had a distinctly identifying word...

AMERICA ≠ USA

@ArtOfPilgrim @bstuartTI

@bstuartTI The fight sucked. You ai bros have such low standards, it's no wonder you think this is awesome. If a Hollywood studio produced this it would have the lowest score possible. You need to re-assess your idea of quality.

“AI looks bad” is starting to sound like “I didn’t watch the clip.” 👀 Meanwhile this is what “slop” looks like now.

Every Resident Evil game starting from RE7 is written in C#. I played RE4 remake last week, and got curious about RE engine and their development tools. Capcom publishes several tech talks, many with english subtitles and slides, so I had a look. I was surprised to learn that all gameplay code is written in C#. No C++ or unsafe C# blocks are allowed in the game projects. They are running their own VM (REVM) and own GC. They did seem to import a lot of the BCL from the official runtime and modified it to fit their needs. They run under an interpreter during development, but for production they transpile IL to C++, much like Unity's IL2CPP.

@gluttyriceball I know :( But I meant which RAM stick model was faulty (in case I happen to have a spare one of the same kind around)

@GarlicBroccoli RAM prices have basically doubled due to AI. 😭

Welp, perfect time to find out one of my RAM sticks are bad and in need of a replacement.

@ScottApogee @Apogee_Ent Where is it?

Duke Nukem 3D is 30 years old. Wow. Here's a look at the game's first level, Hollywood Holocaust, created by Allen Blum. This was everyone's first experience with the game and we wanted to make sure it kicked off in a great way.

@lemire And on January 1, 2026 he'll be proven wrong.

@ocornut Did you know that Dear ImGui's license is include in iOS?
