I’ve got 2 desktops (work, home) using this KVM with 2 144hz monitors, microphone, speakers, and like 5 USB devices. It works flawlessly and worth every $$ I paid. There’s nothing else like it on the market.
I was just thinking the other day that it'd be pretty simple to do this, thanks for figuring it out! Great way to save on memory too if you have a ton of icons

PSA: If you want to render an SDF texture using an Image component and Text Mesh Pro, you can!

You need to copy the SDF shader and make two small tweaks, which I've explained in a blog post here:

there's a lot of similarities with software design too. we don't need to teach people how to move a mouse, right click, or drag-and-drop anymore.

making HL2 inspired Z-billboarded volumetric light shader in godot. love this trick for how stupidly effective it is for distant lights
QA, loc, music, “additional art and design”, those people work just as hard. Sweeping them under and saying it was just 3 people is insulting.
“Few contractors”? Fuck off.

30+ people on music, 18 on localization, dozens of voice actors.

It took 7 years and the previous title sold more than BF2042 did

he’s so real for this
BattleBit remastered outsold BF 2042, and it had much slower gameplay and gameplay systems like bleeding.

The market exists. There’s a lot of evidence players can learn complex but rewarding gameplay 🙂
BF6 thoughts: it’s….fine. I’d describe it as “COD but with more people and some vehicles”.

I’d love to learn why previous features got removed (ie: attrition system). Do features that encourage team play not playtest as well? Or trying to target other markets/players?
I’m not even sure what the point of health packs are given regen is so aggressive
I have so many thoughts about this, but yeah 100% agree. I just wish they’d add more feedback and rewards for helping teammates. They’ve streamlined it way too much.

game dev joys: discovering you can use the new customizer feature to make the entire cat lime green, turn them into a green screen and overlay a king gizzard video on there
(I forgot the pic)
If you’re an industrial engineer at Apple: please try your design on an airplane. This stupid charger doesn’t work on most 737s because it’s too wide
That uihost process is for sure an electron app (aka chrome). It doesn’t need those resources since it’s literally just doing auth refresh and updates… but… writing a native app to do that is kind of a can of worms. Easier to say F it and use the same login browser uses 🙄

Here is my charity pin I designed for King Gizzard for Field of Vision! All proceeds will go to PfCA, a grassroots movement building a vibrant community for 2SLGBTQIA+ and Gender-diverse people in rural Colorado. I was so honored to make this

I both extremely love and hate this game at the same time 😂

I’m trying to not be snarky, but this is standard in the game industry. 16ms budget is the norm

I got to go to "The Shape Of MOTHER" exhibition in Tokyo today. A gorgeous display of the original 180 clay models from MOTHER 1 and 2. No pictures were allowed inside, but you must go see it if you're in Tokyo between now and Sept. A truly special exhibition. I'm so happy I got to see it!

If you want to actually solve the problem, instead of punishing itch, start calling payment cos

Collective Shout, which is run by people who get published by Spinifex, a very terf-seeming organization, apparently needed 1,000 people to yell at visa to get this done.

We got more than 1000 people.
