Apparently folks have been quite happy with Trails 2nd. Did you know? Back in 2015 I was spreading #TrailsPropaganda in Rocket League's world top 10 ranked.

I haven't felt this stimulated in a while. Good to take on some more challenging stuff every once in a while.

🐾 The little trick lies in UTF-8 encoding~ 🐾 Bytes `0x00-0x7F` (ASCII) are always single-byte UTF8. Bytes `0x00-0x7F` cannot be follow-up bytes. That means our lovely friends `\r` (0x0D) and `\n` (0x0A) can be easily be found by searching their single byte directly. 😉

bsky.app/profile/sewe... While we're at it, I also patched Orcs Must Die 2!! Allows for: - Custom Resolution [normally impossible] - D3D9Ex (better alt+tab etc.) - Aspect Ratio Fix (again) - Custom FoV - Custom FPS Limit, VSync Override www.nexusmods.com/orcsmustdie2... github.com/Sewer56/omd2...

OMD2 at 64:9 (7680x1080), with fully working FoV, and ~200 frames.

Made a Small Patch for Orcs Must Die 3. Fixes FoV on ultrawide, and allows for centering the HUD. www.nexusmods.com/orcsmustdie3... github.com/Sewer56/omd3...

After. FoV is fixed, and HUD can be centered.

Before. HUD is way off to the side, and screen is vertically zoomed in (Vert-)

sewer56.dev/blog/2025/11... A quick blog post with some cool stats on Reloaded-II mods I collected a while back. Sample size 2197. Ever curious about the file size/count stats of mods at scale? Here's the basic numbers.

Not the first time I've seen a bug in the tooling, so I'm not surprised. Never forget `Nights: Journey of Dreams`, which wrote (presumably) environment data from stack memory into the padding of .ONE archives. Which gives us a nice glimpse into the tooling they used.

Here's how this setup looks like for reference. I do work from here (remotely), and my non-work code stuff right after. Maybe I'll game on this one day 😅, I'm always coding soooo much; ahahaha, so often that's a pipe dream! Oh and I'll eventually need some wall decor that's not certificates.

github.com/libratbag/li... Added support for G502X Plus (including LED) to libratbag. Bought one, came in today, couldn't rebind it on Linux. Well, it's now later in the day, and now I can.

github.com/Sewer56/stru... I made a tool for creating and testing 'lossless transforms' that reorganize binary data for maximum compression efficiency. Like the BC1-BC3 texture ones I made a while back: sewer56.dev/blog/2025/01... 'Generic marketing chart' for memes included.

I've used the search engine around a year ago. It's great, really great. Only caveat is I don't deep search as much as I used to; so it's a bit of a hard sell in my mind sometimes. That said, I really, really respect what the folks over there are doing. They're legends.

Very simple!! 💀 Absolute bamboozlery!! ⚡⚡ Compiling the `bench` target gives you a nice, unrolled joy of SSE2/AVX2. Compiling the `lib` target, doesn't get you that. That's where the performance difference comes from!! Same compiler settings, but different output on different target.

Two functions. One implemented in high level Rust (left), one in Assembly (right). They both generate the same assembly, but the Rust one is 4x faster when benchmarking; why?🧵

Source code for the high level implementation.
