I don't even use Microsoft Edge. 😠

@sinbad when I made “port” of my playdate demo to PC and noticed it is taking less CPU time than task manager… I also noticed that firefox.exe was taking about similar amount of CPU. I don’t use Firefox! Last time I consciously ran it was maybe a year ago.

Nice Intel Lion Cove CPU arch overview at @chipsandcheese - https://chipsandcheese.com/2024/06/03/intels-lion-cove-architecture-preview/

And that reminded me to setup a monthly donation to the site (they have patreon&paypal). Since it has 1) good information and 2) way easier to read than most other tech sites that sneak in like seven large ads into the middle of the text.

@amonakov fair! but another tech site just today had giant "gal gadot's dress is still turning heads! investing dot com" or somesuch right in the middle of the article.

"Simple vs Easy" post by @sschoener is great. This side quote had me laughing: "programming is text compression and no line should be repeated". https://blog.s-schoener.com/2024-06-03-simplicity/

Fallout the TV series was pretty damn good. I've played most of the series, my wife has played none. She thought the first two episodes were a bit "fan service" but liked the rest and said it held together well.

Is this the first video game adaptation that doesn't suck?!?!?!?

Ok, today is the day! In a few hours I'll be giving a talk at REAC on our testing infrastructure at Frostbite 😊

@jon_valdes please tell me the testing graphics is better than in 2007 https://aras-p.info/blog/2007/07/31/testing-graphics-code/

Oh well, I’ll find out soon ;) Good luck!

@jon_valdes @BartWronski “prints cabbages” is a very close cheap and fast approximation ;)

@jon_valdes great talk, thanks!

Most excellent: that sweet mass-inspection tool, with radiating pixel locations and integrated p4 update etc.

Most sad: that we are still mostly in “compare screenshots” land, just due to everything now it is many thousands of them. They are great! But also a huge maintenance effort.

quick and dirty "debug renderer" - dump .obj from test code and import it into blender. pic related: frustum culling.
(the frustum is asymmetric which is why it looks weird)

aras,
@aras@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@nicebyte nice life hack :) Now that (since blender 4.1?) you can just drag & drop an obj file onto blender, it even saves a click or two.

aras,
@aras@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@nicebyte since 4.1 it can do builtin formats (obj, usd, alembic), and I think I’m 4.2 it will be able to do addon formats too (gltf, fbx).

Turns out, "hey can we have rounded corners" is way more complex task that you'd think. Here's (WIP, might never ship!) attempt at tweaking #blender VSE timeline strips to be a bit rounded. https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/122576

@acegikmo excellent talk and presentation as usual! And while not exact same curve, yours is way easier to use than Unity’s Mathf.SmoothDamp

I will be starting the installation of Mastodon v4.2.9 on Masto.host.

There will be about 15 seconds of downtime during the upgrade.

We have recorded a 48min version of the presentation for our paper "Filtering After Shading with Stochastic Texture Filtering":
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e3391_C6aXE

Properly paced, going deeper into history, context, gamedev practices, and explaining recommendations - check it out! :)
