I'm trying out something new in Unity with the Universal Render Pipeline (URP). Does it not have a "out of the box" additive blend material for a sprite? What am I missing? I just want a cool shot sprite (regular blend), with a hot glow sprite on top of that (additive).

I've been loving this guy's retrospectives on the Ultima games, and his latest is on the most interesting game ever made, Ultima Online www.youtube.com/watch?v=35SK...

I can't believe this worked basically first try, I added to the target angular momentum around the up-axis when jumping and managed to do a 360 dunk (after a few attempts)

How do computers calculate complicated trig functions such as tangent? I took a look at Intel's 8087 floating-point chip under the microscope to find out. The chip combines two techniques to evaluate the tan function quickly and accurately: polynomials and an algorithm called CORDIC...

A die photo of the 8087 chip under a microscope shows complex patterns from its transistors and wiring. The middle of the chip holds the microcode ROM, while the bottom half of the chip is the datapath that performs calculations. Zooming in on the datapath shows various functional blocks, which appear as rectangles with different textures. Important functional blocks are labeled: exponent ROM, constant ROM, shifter, adder, registers, and so forth.

also reminded of this quote from the holy grail

King of Swamp Castle: When I first came here, this was all swamp. Everyone said I was daft to build a castle on a swamp, but I built in all the same, just to show them. It sank into the swamp. So I built a second one. That sank into the swamp. So I built a third. That burned down, fell over, then sank into the swamp. But the fourth one stayed up. And that's what you're going to get, Lad, the strongest castle in all of England.

The fantastic @lucyjames.games is on our Amnesia Fortnight livestream! Right now! And I'm going to go crash it. Also right now. And probably crash some busses while we're at it! twitch.tv/doublefine

my ex-girlfriend (who broke up with me for ethical reasons) is warning that sex with me was so good that it could end humanity by 2030. while i believe there's a >10% chance of this happening i am working on safeguards to prevent it

"Indies will save us" No! YOU WILL SAVE INDIES! Go leave a review for that neat indie game you like, share the trailer for an upcoming game you're anticipating, tell your fave developer they did a good job, go tell people about such and such game that's just come out, you can make a difference!
