Sometimes, when I'm in the right mood, I make video games and art. Or something.

The extent to which Games Done Quick has helped to steer the larger speedrunning community - one of the most hardcore video game enthusiast subcultures there is - into becoming something so welcoming, inclusive and supportive astonishes me

hey remember when a bunch of middle-aged drunk korean lawmakers climbed the locked gates to the national assembly to hold an emergency session after the president gave illegal orders to the military, all of which ended with said president being sentenced to prison

As you read the news today, watch who phrases the news as an "illegal invasion and regime change" versus "bringing democracy". It'll tell you everything you need to know about the news source you're reading, and frankly should decide whether you ever read them seriously again.

I've been using the SDL_GPU api for most of last year - its very good. They don't support super modern things like bindless because they need to hit a broad range of GPUs... I suspect that'll change in like an SDL4.

Yeah I kinda want to try just for fun but I know it'd hit limits fast.... and I also just wanna finish games so I probably shouldn't lol

It's good to make art even when it doesn't turn out how you want! That's how it goes, sometimes

Yeah it does feel like at some point it's just all gonna be compute... especially since, as that article mentions, games are not even the focus of gpu manufacturers anymore lol

Yeah, I really like the proposed api in that article. I hope it goes that direction haha

I know they were always basically that but feels like modern api's could just drop all the abstraction and specialization

I was reading this "no graphics api" about what a modern api looks like and it feels like we're headed to where the gpu just has a ton of cores for you to throw data at www.sebastianaaltonen.com/blog/no-grap...

I am begging Steinberg to make Cubase run on Linux (even though it'll probably never happen)
Living with Windows has always been a calculus of how useful it is professionally vs. the amount of unbearable shit you gotta disable with a script and I think we reached a tipping point where it’s majority unbearable shit.
