In my opinion it’s time to retire the Nobel prizes for fields where most of the important discoveries have already been made, like physics, and add prizes for newer fields where substantial innovations occur every year, like speedrunning

A curse of 600 or more diarrheas on sites/services that on iPhone demand installing a special app & registering an account but on desktop simply open in a browser as a guest. Not mentioning any names like Trello, TikTok or Temu. And I mean 600 concurrently, not sequentially.

Quake is basically a cat simulator: - Only possible interactions are attacking and rubbing against things - Can jump ridiculous distances - Can’t understand anyone - Compelled to kill everything that moves, for fun

Dropped a bolt into my car engine and retrieved it with the most Looney Tunes contraption possible
A cartoonish magnet tied to a piece of yarn. A bolt is held by the magnet. In the background, the open hood of a minivan, provides context and a backdrop.

What's good about digital stores is that you can't re-buy what you already own. Unlike that multimeter I bought and when I went to put away I placed it next to the multimeter I already owned, and other such stories 😅

a bald stick figure in a chair with his arms out in front like he’s typing on a keyboard, and he’s got the biggest angry frown imaginable and eyebrows that express frustrated bemusement

They were developed at the same time. Same code. I believe rendering would have been independent of game state update. Definitely the case for CMR3 as we did a lot of experiments with low/high game/rendering update rates. Interesting stuff!

pro tip for watching movies: turn on HDR if the movie doesn’t support it. that way you can watch it with sunglasses and it’ll dim it back down to normal. that way you can feel cool cause you’re wearing sunglasses
