I wanted a copy of GPU Pro 4 in my hand, so I bought one online (and they are pricey nowadays).

Just received it.
It's incorrectly printed. 🫠

It was sent from a small UK shop, I'm surprised they let it pass like that.

I'm sooooo disappointed...

@GabeMoralesVR Hmm, this will be a last resort option to me because if I can pay the authors I wouldn't mind.

@froyok perhaps reach out to to the author for permission, and offer to send them some money directly. I did this with a website I scraped once to get a physical book printed. Good on you for looking out for the author!

Dropbox has a "fun" bug since a few weeks on my machine.

Each time I wake it up from sleep, and a file is modified, Dropbox app becomes crazy and eat up all my ram.

Take 5 minutes for the system to notice and kill it (or maybe it crashes because it can't allocate further).

I doubt I will bother report the issue, given how unhelpful their support is on their forums.

Currently writing a Python script to auto-kill it before it slows down the machine and relaunch it.

I guess I could also put it into the sleep schedule. 🤔

Neighbor has been drilling holes in their walls on and off for two weeks now, the sound resonates quite loudly in the building. Woke me up at 8am today.

At this point I presume their apartment looks like hollow cheese.

@kwramm It's new folks that just got in so I didn't really meet them. I would say no given where I live, but you never know.

ima,

@froyok I had neighbors that did this exact same thing, every day for weeks! I can't imagine what it looked like in there, must have had hundreds of shelves and pictures on the wall.

Ho hey, looks like Halo Infinite finally works on my Linux ! About time.

I love the HUD style, looks like it's very close to the one in Halo 5.

Time to make a GPU capture... :3

I'm really digging what they did with the Forerunners architecture.

It still very "simple" in the shapes but a lot more detailed at the surface level. There are a lot of detail map/pattern when in close up too.

The metallic feel got improved a lot by the nice reflections too. I also didn't notice it was SSR at first even.

The choice of colors and how the details pops up makes me feel a lot like exploring an Egyptian tomb, kinda like doing an archaeological trip.

Still playing, nearing the end of the singleplayer campaign.

Things are going well.

Dune part 2 seen !

What a marvel, I loved it from start to finish. Tempted to go back to the cinema for a second watch.

Looks like the blu-ray isn't planned until July. I already can't wait. 😅

A lot of time I feel like I'm not making any good progress on my projects.

And then I look back at my dev blog and see all the stuff I have done, which is usually quite consequent.

I think my struggle is related to my attention span and tendency to procrastinate by doing something else that what I intended. This seems to translate into a sentiment of "laziness" or under achievement.

@jerobarraco Yeah, I'm aware of a few of those already (my SO has autism and ptsd).
For ADHD I'm looking beyond what you can hear on social media as well, my issues a bit deep rooted that makes me believe that's the right diagnostic. 😄

@froyok Sounds great :) Im very happy you have good clarity and have a (deep) foot on it. All the best, keep it up! :)

@jendrikillner Hi ! FYI, your latest weekly doesn't appear in the list of posts on your website: https://www.jendrikillner.com/post/

@froyok thanks a lot for letting me know. Looks like a cache invalidation issue. This issue should be resolved now.

The Table API of ImGui is great... when it works.

Tried almost all the flags I could and these columns freaking don't want to resize properly. Gaaaah !

froyok,
@froyok@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@GabeMoralesVR I don't think that would worth of your time honestly, just wanted to rant a bit after spending an hour on this. 😅
(I got something working which is good enough for the usecase.)

But thx for offering !

GabeMoralesVR,
@GabeMoralesVR@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@froyok Ah, I know that feeling. Mainly I just love ImGui, haha.

Silly idea of tonight: use FFI to create a pointer to random memory/garbage and load that as texture to generate a glitch pattern.

Happy to announce that since February 1st I'm now Principal Product Manager on Substance Painter. :D

haukethiessen,

@froyok Is this an actual published/available book?👀
Sounds like something I'd love to read.

@haukethiessen It may happen some day, but right now this was an internal print only.

Here we go !
My new article is out and in this one I deep dive into the rendering of the game Syndicate: https://www.froyok.fr/blog/2024-01-breakdown-syndicate/

BartWronski,
@BartWronski@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@froyok finally got a chance to read, fun old-school! I remember being excited about the game (I loved the franchise, and the gameplay "hacking" ideas looked interesting), but never played it...
For the bloom downsampling filter, I tried something "similar" in AC4 and then FC4 https://bartwronski.com/2014/03/23/gdc-follow-up-screenspace-reflections-filtering-and-up-sampling/ "Filtering technique" section.

Also, I think the one in Syndicate is a bit incorrect - wrong pixel offset due to odd sample count, explained here: https://bartwronski.com/2021/02/15/bilinear-down-upsampling-pixel-grids-and-that-half-pixel-offset/
Probably didn't matter.

froyok,
@froyok@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@BartWronski Given the mipmap levels used for the bloom later one, yeah I doubt it mattered a lot. 😄

I was playing Portal Revolution and got a soft lock with my last automatic save: I pressed the last button which triggered an autosave, all while the screen was going dark to tell me I was out of time.

So when the save reload it re-fade to black and reload back to that same save. 🙃

Actually it is using Strata, a community based fork of the Source Engine. Interesting: https://stratasource.org/

@froyok I guess the game assumed you wanted to relive that wonderful moment

Rewatched The Maze Runner tonight. I still like the vibe of that movie a lot.

Except the ending, and the follow-up movies. What a let down for those.

I would have really liked instead more movies about young adults overcoming trials and Indiana Jones like death traps. Keeping the mystery going as well !

@TomF@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@froyok I keep meaning to watch Enola Holmes - feels like it should have that vibe?

froyok,
@froyok@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@TomF Not the same vibe I would say, I only watched the first one and it was so-so. Personal taste of course.
