'Sup. I'm just some geek so mentally unstable I'm unable to work, so I spend a lotta time on my computer. I mess around with #VirtualPhotography in video games. IRL I volunteer for video game events and conventions, and I spend a lot of time in #VRChat!🌙

👀 | OpenAI is reportedly burning cash fast, with losses projected to reach $14B in 2026 and a possible cash shortfall by 2027.
Analysts say AI profitability was overestimated, as rising data center and inference costs could lead to a $207 BILLION industry shortfall by 2030.

If you can afford to, please do not go to work or school, or spend any money tomorrow.
If you can’t, please consider expressing solidarity another way!
This needs to stop and the bigger we can make this, the more likely even bigger general strikes can follow.

NEW: I spoke to Jonathan Blow about his ambitious new puzzle game and why it took ten years to make. Then, days after the announcement, three designers came out denouncing Blow for his views on Trump (pro), vaccines (anti), and more. Here's the whole messy story: www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

Apparently the AI bros are on another round of "Hatsune Miku is AI, checkmate luddites" so this is just a reminder that the singer behind Miku was paid and still earns royalties, and beyond that, Miku is nothing more than a MIDI soundboard with advanced pitch converter options, it is not genAI.

Today I improved GPU Grass with a feature I call "batched instancing". It builds a grass batch at runtime and instances it.
No world size increase, less GPU memory usage, runtime grass amount control, and better perf.
144 FPS with 11.2M grass triangles visible to the horizon!

This won't replace her of course, but at least I got yet another new toy to alleviate the sad.
I'll try to put together threads of my thoughts on this Analogue 3D, Commodore 64 Ultimate, Evercade Alpha and Super Pocket later on, if folks are curious.

It's so hard not having her to comfort me from... not having her.
15 years together. Ever since I've left my parents' home. Never lived without her. Never lived alone.
I can't visit my mother without looking for her before going to bed even though she was in a different city.
Soo hard. Soo empty.

Hello everyone,
After several days of hard work on Unity to make the world as realistic as possible, I am pleased to present the final version in video format.
There will likely be no further major changes, so I can finally show it to you.
