@TheCodeTherapy @bgolus @iquilezles @XorDev Thanks for the heads-up! I just took a look at the Shader Playground site and it seems to be working for me - is it working for you now?

@bgolus @iquilezles @XorDev @_tim_jones_ The online version seems to be down at the moment, but I just found his repo and will give it a try (I'm currently on Windows, so I fully understand the docker pain 😅. It seems to be a super handy tool though so it's probably worthy! I'll give it a try). Thanks for the tip Ben!

@mirror2mask You’ll be missed! Good luck with whatever is next.

After seven years at Unity, I am moving on, for a rare opportunity that doesn’t come around frequently. The decision wasn't easy, both because of the opportunity to help creators on the scale of Unity's impact and because of incredible teams of amazing people in our teams.

@KaosLisa @jaytwotwit I don’t! That sounds entertaining though, unless of course he does that every single time… does he do it every single time? 😊

@_tim_jones_ @jaytwotwit The question is Tim, do you huff about it like Jason does as you move them 🤣

A few more $5 sponsors would get me to break-even on the Azure hosting bill, which would make this more sustainable for the long term (hosting bill is £70/month, current sponsors generously provide ~£50 of that).

Occasional reminder - Shader Playground is possible because of the generous support of these people: @aras_p, @sheredom, @KornnerStudios, @TheAnimator. If Shader Playground is useful to you please consider adding your name to that prestigious list :) github.com/sponsors/tgjon…

Let's talk about some of the recent improvements to Unity! I'm not talking about the big, flashy things you already know about but the small changes we were able to sneak into the changelog. I'll look at 2023.1 beta stuff but most of it also backported as far back as possible :)

Visual Studio 2022 17.6 Preview 2 now has additional integrations with Unreal Engine. Unleash the full potential of your game creation with UE Log Streaming, UHT Code Analysis and HLSL Tools by @_tim_jones_ . #UnrealEngine #cpp #gamedev devblogs.microsoft.com/cppblog/empowe…

@mlrdev Thanks Marcelo! You've been an important part of this too; you helped a lot with my questions about "fun" parts of HLSL syntax, back in the day. It's 7 years since we first chatted about HLSL parsers, times goes quickly!

@_tim_jones_ Congratulations Tim!!

Please excuse the own-horn-tooting: a thing I made is now part of Visual Studio 😊 #hlsl-tools-extension-by-tim-jones" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">devblogs.microsoft.com/visualstudio/v…

@Alecazam123 No, just Visual Studio for Windows. Many of the underlying text editor APIs are now shared, which is great, but there's still enough different that it would require specific and non-trivial effort to support VSMac.

@_tim_jones_ Would this apply to Mac Visual Studio too?

@jaytwotwit You still can, there are way more in that category than this category 😊

Hooray for English grammar ambiguity.

@jaytwotwit Well done! Any tips? I’d love to have a graph that looked that like but… I also never feel motivated to put any effort into it ;)

@deplinenoise If you are a tennis player maybe consider games as a… oh wait that doesn’t follow the format

@jaytwotwit You actually made it to a live snooker tournament?! Awesome!

@b33rdy @jaytwotwit I feel your pain. For two years now I’ve had to remove my glasses to squint at small printed text.
