Played a bunch of Wipeout (via Omega Collection) over the past couple days again. Peak videogame, honestly

Have been sick for almost a whole week. Probably the worst it has been since the last time I got Covid like 3 years ago. Would not recommend, actual misery

Spent the day refactoring and adding support for arbitrary passes for my little webgpu thing at orels1.graphics Implemented tonemapping (not uploaded yet) and now to figure out how to do Bloom without going crazy

Switched from using Music Bee with my library sitting on a NAS to Navidrome server + Feishin on PC + Arpeggi on iOS. Main reason for it was to avoid SMB as it kept giving me issues and would also freeze the player sometimes. Feishin allowing u to adjust volume bar size is also goated for VR overlays

It seems like making a fast movement FPS with a banger soundtrack is literally a cheatcode for a full access to my wallet. Totally unrelated: CICADAMATA OST is an absolute bop stillcrisp.bandcamp.com/album/cicada...

Stumbled upon this youtube channel recently that has been providing me with work background ambience for a couple weeks now. Tracking down non-ai music has been such a struggle, but this one is just really nice if you're into it. And yes, mentally im still at gm_construct youtu.be/LxxK7ANKXEA

Datto released the very last Destiny 2 video. With that a decade+ of my "safe space" in games is wrapping up. It was always something to come back to, it was always there. And while the game is still online and I'll probably be poking at it from time to time, this feels like the final stopping point

Learned a little bit of webgpu + slang + odin over the last couple days. Got a new domain and used it as an excuse to spend some time porting one of my unity shaders. orels1.graphics Unfortunately, if you're on firefox - it doesnt really work, as its webgpu support is still lacking, apologies!

Did the Big Walk ending with a bunch of friends. This was so cool, if you have even a single person to experience the game with - you should

This is definitely gonna make so eone unhappy, but for me thats Halo. I grew ip with doom and half-life. And i tried so many times to get into halo: the originals, the new ones and the anniversary variants, and it just never lands. Despite hundreds of hours in destiny and tons of other shooters.

Another "i can just make this" moment. Finally made a quick favorites tool that allows you to quickly play an animation on Gesture Manager from a predefined list. Together with time scale adjustments - makes it really nice to test for clipping issues. I should really find a place to dump these

Every time i have to add toggles to my avatar i end up lamenting how many clicks it takes to just add some simple stuff. A couple weeks ago i threw together an NDMF tool of my own that generates DBT-friendly toggles. Feels good to just drag and drop stuff, takes seconds due to large drop targets.

So its been 4 months since i moved basically everything off of vercel/supabase/etc onto my little locally hosted instance hidden behind a VPS. All I can say is that it was definitely worth it. Builds are super fast, and i have full introspection into what's actually going on

Unity 6 added some based buttons, apparently No longer do you need a custom script just to have the game view follow the scene view - now you can take over any camera and easily position it in the scene by flying around in the scene view :chefkiss:

Seems like im gonna be sending my playdate back to Panic. Credit to them for a super quick reply and immediate "yeah, we'll just replace yours". Just too sad to not have access to this joy of a device while its away!

Are there any active #VRChat world creator communities around these days? 🤔 I feel like everyone I meet is kinda doing their own thing. Either by themselves, or in a small group focused on just their world/event/community. But maybe I'm missing something obvious?

orels1 @orels1.bsky.social · 14/07/2026

Me out here straight up Yandare-deving. Playdate is too constrained to run ODIN's built-in json decoder, so I have to use Playdate's built-in one. And I'm too lazy to write a reflection-based procedure to assign the values back. So now its just this, mistakes are being made on live television

After a day of playing a number of different games with my steam controller (my point of reference - Xbox Elite 2) Pros: - More comfortable and lighter than I expected - All the buttons feel good, back buttons imho are huge upgrade over the deck - Very seamless experience when steam is running [1/5]

Listen, it was REALLY important to add as much silly avatar interactivity to this sink that 2 people will ever interact with. You do not understand! #VRChat #unity3d Everything is powered by PhysBones and VRCTween, with very small layer of Udon acting as a glue

Another #furality over. Have mixed feelings about some parts of the event. But the incredible people I got to meet and the moments I got to share with new and old friends alike - were as magical as always

VRChat screenshot of a group of avatars sitting on an observation platform. Virtual city is visible in the bacground. Many colored lights with trails forming a spiral in the sky. Beam of light coming down to the ground from the spiral. "Thanks for playing!" text formed out of many tiny drones with glowing lights visible on the right side of the image.

Finished reading Project Hail Mary. It was pretty good. A little sad I did spoil myself on how some stuff looked based on shots of the movie. Wonder how I would've imagined some things without that (e.g. Rocky), but I'm glad I picked it up.

Finally moved away from vercel for basically every project but tlx.dev (that needs some extra infra I'm yet to set up). Fully self-hosting everything with a little VPS to proxy all the traffic. Feels nice to not depend on some big company for personal projects, ngl

Working on my SteamVR Overlay has been kind of a cathartic "I can just go and implement the things I want" experience. Oh spout 2 doesn't have a nice C API? I can just add it! Oh u have to use C++ for performant Capture? I'll just write my own library to expose it to Odin

Have been really enjoying @lgug2z.com 's Komorebi tiling window manager. Probably one of the smoothest experiences i have with a system like that. Great defaults out of the box, lots of sensible rulesets for common apps bundled already, incredibly stable github.com/LGUG2Z/komor...

I found a workaround to fix the jagged gradients when 2D projecting a texture on a lowpoly mesh in Substance Painter. I'm writing an explanation and a solution to the problem in the thread below. (Images provided by @foxheadart.bsky.social and used with permission)

Random uselss #arknightsendfield fact for you The game uses this little decal with some coordinates in a bunch of places, e.g. in your lounge room. I went to look up "how to use coordinates in google maps" to see where that was. And guess what i found on the maps help page? The same coordinates!

If any fellow #Uruki3D enjoyer wants to de-violate their nose, here you go. I remade the nose band-aid texture from scratch in material maker. In the package you'll find textures you can drag and drop in any image editor. Grab here: cdn.orels.one/assets/Uruki... #Unity3D #MaterialMaker
