@roger_creus_art I do miss that old ProBuilder. Newer version is such a downgrade?

Hardware prices go up, game prices go up.. so I'm making my game's requirements go down. ;) I've spent a couple weeks superoptimiznig the maps... made myself a little tool do help me decouple visuals from collision, so I can merge visuals and have a lot less objects in each map.

@DeanTTraining Cables is my goto, this 2nd. Flat barbell bench primarily for PR shenanigans

Said it before, I’ll say it again: We’re about ~3 years away from EVERY SINGLE PERSON ON PLANET EARTH agreeing that this type of Machine is LIGHT YEARS better than Barbell Bench Press for building the Chest Just give it a little more time…the stragglers will catch up shortly!

@edgaralandough Robinhood gold, fee is $50/year, it gives 3% cash back across the board. They've paid me significantly more than I've paid them. Every purchase goes on that card, never miss a payment.

I know my credit card companies hate me 😂 I will run it up every month and pay it down to 1% utilization before the statement date then pay it in full right after. They’ve never gotten a cent of interest out of me but I have gotten 6 figures of rewards points out of them.

@bryan_johnson Will do, 7 days

Finished a seven day social media fast. It feels like the most effective longevity therapy I've done. Everything got better: mood, sleep, energy, presence, judgment, relationships, and optimism. Evidence shows a seven day fast produces a reduction of anxiety (16%), depression (25%) and insomnia (15%). The effects felt bigger. Conversely, dipping back in, I can viscerally feel that my body metabolizes social media similarly to a fast food meal, corrosive relationship, hangover, and sleep deprivation. My body hates it. After the previous fasts (40/hr and 70hr), I wrote that social media is pollution.  Not a vice or guilty pleasure. It’s closer to water toxins, air pollution and microplastics. This time, the major insight was that social media is a form of intoxication. Alcohol is honest intoxication. It clearly tells you what it's taking from you. Social media on the other hand does not disclose itself as an intoxicant. It produces the sensation of being informed, engaged, and connected while quietly evacuating your capacity for depth and independent thought. You don’t feel drunk, you feel current. But evidence shows that it causes your brain to shrink. The impairment is real by you can't feel it. Making it the more dangerous type. If you haven't tried it, I strongly encourage you to try a social media fast. Even if for one day.

@pterrys How about a burger with pasture-raised meat, sun-grown veggies, cold-pressed oil, and a bun whose ingredient list isn't half a page.

Eat lunch with Patrick Terry, literally! Comment below if you and a couple of friends would like to enjoy a meal at your favorite P. Terry’s stand, his treat. We’ll be in touch with 10 guests by March 16.

@NeverSinkDev Very well balanced decision, respect

I'm being frequently asked why I'm not working by GGG and I think it's a good idea cast some clarity. I was offered to join the team by Chris during first ExileCon (same time as Octavian got onboarded). Working for GGG was a bit of a dream and eventually saying 'no' eventually was one of the hardest decisions of my life. Here are my main reasons: 1) Working remotely was not possible. I'm very close to my family and I'm a single child. Moving to NZ (12 hours timezone shift) would harm relationships and hurt my parents. NZ is an amazing country though. I can see growing old there. 2) I'm an anxious mess of a person. I don't make friends easily. Currently PoE is a big part of my life. Accepting the job would've made PoE my life. 24/7. Hobbies, friends, work etc. Migrating so far away, losing my mental-support systems and investing 100% time in PoE sounds like a recipe for a burnout. 3) I'm afraid that joining GGG would lead to me losing my 'voice' in the community. I think my takes are often quite balanced and hold some value. I think GGG has a lot of talented designers already. However, at least at the time many voices in the community were very polarised. 4) This likely would've led to the filter-project becoming worse. At least in the short term. Filters are a thing that essentially HAS to be community driven. A game about exploration, economy and creativity should not publish it's own cheat-sheet. 5) I think I'd make a decent game designer. But I'm currently quite a good filter-maker and a cloud architect. Not all paths you take mix well. That being said, while I'm not 'officially affiliated' with GGG - I'm still part of the Alpha team of PoE1. I get to talk to some big names and certain suggestions and feedback of mine got heard and implemented (both filter and game stuff). GGG also invited and paid for my previous 2 exilecon visits (flight, ticket, hotel) and is doing so again for the upcoming ExileCon.

@XorDev Sweet

3D Camera uniforms for easily setup in any raymarching/raytracing shader

@brettboettcher1 Diet/supplement with regular bloodwork, intermittent fasting, red light/nir, vagus stimmy, icing the boys, consistent bedtime. Rock hard every morning. Out of bed at the same time, glass of water, open the blinds. Whoop health tracking. Small efforts, profound benefits.

Morning erections aren't just about sex. They're your "check-engine light" for: -Plummeting hormones -Heart disease risk -Metabolic dysfunction If they've disappeared, here's what your body is trying to tell you:

@paging_cora Recently started red light & near infrared therapy. Eyes are roughly -2.25. We'll see if there's improvement

insane no one believed i could correct my own vision with a red light therapy panel from amazon. they said it was joe rogan science! well! i’m here to report my nearsightedness is correct .25 in both eyes.

@PrabhjotSL So happy this is catching on. Building from scratch means every decision, quirk, bug, and result is unique to the developer and their creative workflow, games are better this way.

Make a game in C. No engine needed. 100,000 particles at 300+ fps.

how small can we go?

@BoWang87 that repo is hard to look at

My Nurosym arrived today and I’m 99% sure I could fall asleep standing up right now. Probably should’ve timed it better, but tonight’s sleep should be legendary😴

@AnalogDreamDev Looks sweet

120 days ago... I decided to make my own custom game engine. I'm just a technical artist, never done anything like it, just wanted to learn new things. Its been one of the most exciting things I've worked on in game dev. Can't wait to see what's next! What do you think?

50 million micro-voxels ( .1 meters ) with path traced GI & shadows.

@persullin @onlypancak3s_ It's anonymous :)

@onlypancak3s_ @CrayzNotCrazy hey sorry where cna i see ur videos

I got 18M views on YouTube Shorts in 28 days and 28,000 Steam wishlists in 9 days. I'm a solo dev with no audience, no budget, and no publisher. Here's everything I learned about making shorts that actually go viral:

@onlypancak3s_ Sweet. I started 3 days ago on a very old, empty account. Two shorts, both sitting at 1k. The first did nothing on day 1, the 2nd immediately shot to 300 views, then 1k overnight. Still working on the hook and engagement. Thanks for the info

The first one had definitely a very slow ramp up. I think it took 3-4 days to get to 10k views? But then it took off. Felt as if the algo was testing me much more closely to see if I made something good. Now when I post it just instantly flies. I had this empty channel for a few years, 2 I think? But when I initially opened it I think I had a 400k short basically instantly. So you can start pretty much immediately. For example TT and Instagram Reels I opened up a new account, uploaded my vid and instantly went viral. Pretty sure YT works the same way.

@ShaneStoffer Gambling streamers and crypto casinos are a seriously toxic influence, do better.

It’s come to my attention that the online cryptocurrency slots might b a scam
