Thankyou to all those who helped on hosting and welcoming the researchers in. Wonderful to see how it tied everything together.

This has been a long time in the making, go and show the people at @newscientist.com some love for their amazing work making science more accessible.

Main thing for me is looking at how conversations from, and how I can create worlds to help people connect. Hopefully (if ethics passes me 😬) I should be able to investigate different world characteristics and world design aspects and how they affect users ability to converse.

I really do hope you find that passion again because you have made some incredible worlds with so much detail and style in the texture work.

I remember back when I too was first learning about stuff, it was really fun to fail fail and then succeeded. Something that Mick Gordon said about making music is that you need to keep changing the process that you use to make things, don't stay in the same routine to make things or it gets stale.

I think it depends on a case by case basis. I find it is more how much of your passion you turn into a career, it is really difficult to find that line but you can make it work. My career as a researcher is adjacent to my career as a world builder. There is only so much crossover between the two.

I don’t know how our club moderators smelled the frame time spike here, but they’re very real, and will chase you down on an e-scooter 😭

This is so cool, the idea is so meta (not the corporation).

Possible I can have a look at it once I'm back from travels. What is currently wrong with it?

Id rather have 100 non-shadow lights than 3 shadow ones.

If 99% of people won't notice the loss in quality for optimisation, then it should be done. With every industry there are people who will notice when optimisation gives a worse result, but those are the people that would understand why it was taken too, and probably could help make it better too.

Not much to be seen visually in terms of upgrades except some fog and new textures. But there is a fair amount under the hood that has changed :)

I also want to try mid side encoding for control on width

Karl (Llamahat) @llamahat.bsky.social · Sep 6

Yep that's the one, still need to screw about with it. Have been wanting to do so since before it came out.

There is an OBS plugin out there to do the splitting on OBSs side so that you can bring it in as a 5.1 where you have LR, BassL,BassR,HighL,HighR might be useful.
