TapGhoul @tapghoul.dev · 13hSo, that new year's resolution I had. It's going... Somewhat. I've improved, but a long way to go still. It ain't the end of the year, but it's worth remembering your goals. 020
TapGhoul @tapghoul.dev · 29/09/2026Nothing you create blindly with AI has any value to me. It's not about the end result. I want to know that someone cared about what they made. The cheap copy you made in an to attempt to prove AI can "replace you" just shows you don't care to understand. The value was never in the product alone. 1100

I used it to make a cute little interactive debugger demo. You can try it yourself at pema.dev/hlsl/ 56824

TapGhoul @tapghoul.dev · 07/04/2026Oops I'm late to posting this. I hope you all enjoyed our work on Venture into the Unknown! We worked hard on it, it took a full year, but god damn if it wasn't worth it with what came out of it. 0133
TapGhoul @tapghoul.dev · 31/03/2026I finally got to finish a story about my uncle. Fun story. Also the first game I've managed to finish in years. 020
TapGhoul @tapghoul.dev · 16/03/2026Huh. The dude behind PicoCAD is also the dude behind Icy Tower back in the day. Neat! 000
TapGhoul @tapghoul.dev · 02/02/2026Hey, if you see me online in vrc, I'd love you to invite me places. I don't tend to join peeps who are on orange because I don't want to intrude, but I often still want company. I'm on a lot, often in my home world so peeps can drop by and say hi. You should come say hi sometime. 240
TapGhoul @tapghoul.dev · 01/01/2026New year's resolution, dev stuff aside: be less lonely. Be more willing to let people in, and try to be okay with having friends care about me. To stop deflecting as much and try to be vulnerable again, and let people actually care about me when they actually try to. 1100
TapGhoul @tapghoul.dev · 20/11/2025Either I'm losing my mind or there's been people I followed that I'm not following and people that were following me that aren't. Could be either, but ay. I'm trying to curate a feed here bsky, what are you doing :V 230
TapGhoul @tapghoul.dev · 21/10/2025Too many projects. Slowly getting through em but man, I wish I was busy with smaller interesting things instead of slow moving big things right now. Big things are always coming. I just wish they were a little less big sometimes lmao 110
TapGhoul @tapghoul.dev · 03/10/2025Thinking about it, wouldn't Lanky Kong bounce on it for a bunch of bananas, not a burger? 010
TapGhoul @tapghoul.dev · 03/10/2025Oop, I forgot to update here - gumroad unsuspended it, it's now back up for sale where it was. 000
TapGhoul @tapghoul.dev · 29/09/2025It seems Gumroad has suspended sale of the Collar & Leash system. I will be investigating, and if I cannot get it restored, I will announce where it will be sold instead and will send out codes to those who have already bought it to grab it again. 041
TapGhoul @tapghoul.dev · 12/09/2025Been using Kagi now for a while. Pretty much the same as strasz here - it's made search usable. Even without blocking domains and such, it's incredible how good a search engine can be when your eyeballs aren't the product. 061

(Up to 128 at the same time) Ability to project images and cubemaps. Also baked shadow masks and even more features! github.com/REDSIM/VRCLi... 13253102
TapGhoul @tapghoul.dev · 08/07/2025They brought the McGriddle here to aus. I tried it... This is what you guys were raving about? This is far too sweet, what the fuck - why would you not just use an english muffin, this is terrible lmao 130
TapGhoul @tapghoul.dev · 06/07/2025I see discussions occasionally about having GUIs replacing command lines. And while I'm all for it, there's a point that I never see discussed. Part of why command lines work so much better than GUIs for some tasks is that GUIs require organization and hierarchy to work. 130
TapGhoul @tapghoul.dev · 05/07/2025The wider project failed, but it was still an interesting one - I implemented the QOA audio codec in #vrchat #udon! See it in action here: vrchat.com/home/world/w... And the code here: gist.github.com/TapGhoul/bc7...vrchat.comQOA test world by TapGhoulThis world is a test for running the QOA‚ or Quite OK Audio codec in Udon․ It has a couple modifications to work better for my own needs over standard QOA The bitrate is intentionally set low․ Song is... 050

It's a fully playable ITG chart within my VRChat avatar! Best of all? Others could also try to play the game too! ... We heard this song so much @_@; I am sorry to people around me! 118725
TapGhoul @tapghoul.dev · 12/05/2025Man it's wild how often I find that problems get so much simpler when you start to think of them as distributed systems problems. Dealing with orchestration etc instead of a clean hierarchy of call stacks makes so many things so much easier when you have more than one source of events. 020

TapGhoul @tapghoul.dev · 03/05/2025Jujutsu is definitely an interesting VCS. I'm sorta getting it, but will need to see how it handles my workflow and vice versa. It's a little mind bending in places, but maybe it'll give me an excuse to start trying to do stacked PRs, never done em before. 100

I also added 10 new elements, including a bunch of explosives which can push around particles when detonated, via a rudimentary wind simulation. 23111

TapGhoul @tapghoul.dev · 05/01/2025Thing I learned today: if you move your entire system between hosts in weird ways, don't forget to regenerate your initrd - updating your grub config isn't enough if the partition UUID changes. There goes like 6 hours of my day lol 020
