Over the past few months, I've been interviewing indie dev content creators and putting together a video about what they said. I'm extremely happy to say it's FINALLY done, and will premiere this Friday (May 2)...

I think Imma have to call @microsoft.com's HR department because that Windows startup pop-up for connecting to your phone and using 365 has not been respecting my wishes for years now. No matter how many times I go through it saying I don't want it, it eventually comes back.

No means no, Microsoft.

Not exactly setting my portfolio on fire with this one, but in my first few weeks as a games programming student, I made this for an assignment (we weren't allowed to use/make assets, only primitive shapes).

Today I found out that a website that acts as a "Pastebin for Unreal Blueprints" is technically covered by the vaguely-worded UK Online Safety Act and, understandably, chose to just cut the UK off instead of implement stupid and unecessary age verification.

Collaboration is to commit messages what going outside and seeing other people is to your wardrobe. It reduces the chances you're going to be weird about it.

The general rule of thumb with Nvidia is the last two numbers are more important than the first two. Steer clear of xx50/60 from any gen. If you can get a 3080 it's prob better than a 4070. Everything depends on what you use it for tho.

New OBS out today. I've been running the betas for this cycle because once I saw this update I knew I wanted it immediately.

Here's the progress I made this week on my Colony Sim + RPG game! ⚒️🤖⚔️

Lots of tweaks and fixes this week! The most visually appealing was a simple shader I put together to recolor parts of characters like hair and clothes!

are* being intellectually dishonest

b3agz @b3agz.com · 21d

Ohhkay. Well that's a patently stupid take. We can just stop here, you have an agenda. Either you hate Kimmel or you're pro Trump, idc what it is, you're not being intellectually dishonest, and I ain't got time fo dat.

"...the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it."

Sharing the clip does not, unfortunately, change what he said 👍

b3agz @b3agz.com · 21d

Something like that, and yet, nothing like that. He said they are using his death to score political points. Your opinion is based on objectively false information.
