I've reached the point of dev where I'm making dumb fucking workarounds for bugs in intel's shitty graphics drivers

almost done with the universally most annoying game dev task
you better appreciate this!

Took a look at The End is Nigh's control rebinding menu and lmao we definitely forgot to pretty that one up before release

steam replay is really funny when its including a game you're actively working on that apparently counts as a new session every time you compile and run it

I was watching a review of apparently the number 1 restaurant in the world and laughed pretty hard when the first dish is 10 sprouts on a plate lmao

you gotta record in slowmo to see how extreme it actually is on most controllers

if you release an analog stick it actually has quite a lot of bounce in the other direction on the way back. beyond a reasonable deadzone. I'm not sure if I'm expected to compensate for this at the game level or not...

I figured I should show this eulogy that was posted in the Mewgenics playtest discord. RIP to a real one 🫡

this is what my current production loop looks like for unlocked updates (which is missing complexity in how delta_time is actually measured, which is non-trivial)

yeah, some motion formulas are also just impossible/unwieldly to do with varying deltaT
I once derived the varying delta-T version of this fixed update motion function

I've used this example before, but you can have "inconsistent jump clearance heights" dependent on framerate even if the physics math correctly accounts for deltaTime. this is bad if you want tight controls + consistency

I think the issue I have with the art style of the halo remake is that it changes the vibes too much. I remember Halo as being full of brutalist concrete structures. The remake says "that was a tech limitation, they were meant to be shiny sci-fi metal instead"

when you notice that code that absolutely should not be working just accidentally has the correct behavior because of a different bug

I know few people care but one of the nice parts of using your own engine is that your install folder can look like this instead of being a mess of folders and dlls
