@DUSKdev Energex burnt it into my brain youtube.com/watch?v=xpRSFf…

Did anyone else not realize that most power lines are completely uninsulated bare wire? That should have been extremely obvious in hindsight, but I just learned this the other day.

Got early access and I can't believe how real it makes Oblivion look!

@Stretchedwiener I still don't understand the issue

Why do this? What's the goal? What will you do if you trick a client into hiring you? x.com/mrdoob/status/…

@mrdoob What's the big issue? My blender has the same options

@FrogmanDev Can you make an impromptu staircase?

Years in the making

If Genie can create any game a person can think of; people are about to find themselves playing the shittest games they've ever played

@IsThisA3DModel @cfryant ai excels at creativity!

@cfryant it didn't work every shot is different

New use case for the new Grok Imagine: Feed it a grid of images and have it assemble an entire video! Prompt is in the post, give it a try!

@vkrajacic You could steal my data and add a crypto miner, and I'd still use it over explorer

I've been exposed. The real reason I spent 4 years crunching, burning my savings, and staying away from family was to eventually ship a closed source file explorer… so I could secretly steal your data. I even made it standalone with no internet access to avoid suspicion. The internet never disappoints. reddit.com/r/Windows11/co…

@kruseborn @iquilezles @Shadertoy No need if they've already scraped mine

@iquilezles @Shadertoy @iquilezles Maybe you should add thousands of shaders that are just crap, so they can’t really train on the data anymore, because the result will be garbage

Github copilot remains undefeated

@JohnONolan But taxi drivers that know the streets like the back of their hand are way better?

If you’re interviewing people to drive a car and rejecting because they use google maps rather than memorizing street names… Your taxi company is about to get rekt.

I never expected Penny Arcade to have a comic on SKG! I like the notes even more: "What we've been conditioned to believe is normal simply isn't. The purpose of the campaign is to give you what you already own. It's a bizarre state of affairs." penny-arcade.com/comic/2025/07/…

@henningsanden I don't think I've used max in 15 years and I still somehow get caught out expecting the array modifier in blender to have a radial option

Whats the fastest way to make a radial array in Blender? All ways I can find seem to be really hacky. Here's what I want to do. It needs to stay live

Uh oh spagettios

Just picked up Anthem! Don't have much time at the moment but excited to play it over christmas

@cmuratori @htmx_org @TheZeenX1 Pretty sure it's already been solved

Attempting to implement AVBD in js may have been a mistake

@PirateSoftware @JoshStrifeHayes That's why stop killing games is so good, because I can support it for both reasons

@JoshStrifeHayes We are dealing with a legal initiative. You should not support a legal initiative because you like someone. You should support it because it can cause effective, tangible, positive change.

Been reading through all of the posts against me over my stance on the Stop Killing Games initiative. Tons of people calling me a liar or that I misrepresented the initiative. Also lots of content creators dogpiling on this to get their pound of flesh. Lets dig into what I actually did and said. I put out two videos on August 6th 2024 and August 7th 2024. These videos are linked at the bottom of this post. Many people have not watched them and are just calling me a liar or attacking my character. Give the videos a watch, read the initiative itself, make a conclusion that you aren't copy pasting from social media. Monetization on these videos is disabled so no this is not some ploy to increase revenue. I just care about this subject and have rightful concerns as a person working in this space. In the first video. I go through what an initiative is, how it's not law, and how it's a starting point for this entire process. This helps people understand that this is to start the conversation for change and can adapt later. I then go through the initiative and some of it's goals from the official page for it. I then talk about the repercussions of them should they be implemented. As written all games need to be left in a "Functional Playable State". Next I bring up The Crew and walk through the business around it, the sequels, and the size of the player-base at time of sunset. I did this because it was called out by this initiative as an example of publishers destroying a game. I also harshly critique Ross Scotts wording in his videos because they disparage the lawmaking process and lawmakers which doesn't benefit players or this movement in any way. In the second video. I talk about potential scenarios where a studio could be abused if the initiative was implemented as written. It adds new paths for abuse and that needs to be discussed to help hone this initiative into something that would do good without doing harm. I then explain that very few people in the game development space can actually discuss this from the other side due to fear of losing their jobs. A studio is much safer in silent dissent then they are discussing the drawbacks of your ideals. The recent attacks on our games is obvious evidence of this. To recap. My main issue with this initiative is that it is broad in it's approach to change the industry and the exact language of the initiative, not the FAQ, requests that all games stay in a "Functional Playable State". This is not feasible for all games at a technical level and could potentially restrict developers from making online-only games like MMOs, MOBAs, and User Generated Content games in the future. That list is not exhaustive and it doesn't matter if you do or don't like those kinds of games. Effectively this has the potential to restrict future developers from making kick-ass experiences because it locks a weight on their designs. Even though this is an initiative that can change in the future this goal is core to the mission and deeply disruptive so it needs to be called out. To clear up some disinformation about my character. I left AAA in 2016 because I fucking hate how the industry is now and prefer indie entirely. I don't like Blizzard or I would have stayed working there. That's why I quit. That's the entire point. Fuck AAA and what many studios have turned games into. Outside of that no I am not financially supported by live service games. I make a single player RPG and am the Director of Strategy for offbrand games. In that position I am paid MINIMUM WAGE by my own decision because I care about games succeeding not about profiting off of them. To further this the games we're publishing are all playable offline anyway because their gameplay loops are not only based on inter-player interaction. Not all games are like this and not all games can be like this. No, I have not been running away from discourse on this I talked about it for around 8 hours on stream yesterday. I never took my videos down and I have not discussed the initiative in the 10 months it's been since I released those videos. My internet also died mid-broadcast so I had to go live again 30 minutes later. Thanks ISP. For those that will scream HE'S DOUBLING DOWN. Yes I damn well am. I give a shit about this initiative and what it means for games, developers, and players in the future. To finish out. Just because I don't support this doesn't mean you should blindly follow me in that just because I said pretty words on the internet. You also shouldn't blindly bash me because some other creator said to. Watch the videos I put out, read the initiative, decide for yourself. Apply critical thinking and don't outsource it to others. As always. Stay Frosty. First Video: youtube.com/watch?v=ioqSvL… Second Video: youtube.com/watch?v=x3jMKe… Minimum Wage Proof: x.com/PirateSoftware…
