I built chonkit to work well as a standalone iOS web w/ safe area inset aware styling. In an ultimate test I pulled it up onto the iPhone Duo simulator without making any changes to see how it'd fare. I think it's decent! Definitely not perfect but I don't think it needs many changes to look great.

I'm re-watching PsychOdyssey and just like last time it makes me want to try and learn how to build a game. If it's anything like last time though it'll just pass but maybe because I'm unemployed right now will change things.

Made it to Seattle for PAX! The decision to drive was so worth it, and even with it raining most of the way it felt like a sightseeing tour almost the entire way there.

If you guys were smart you would have downloaded Lake Ontario as an offline map in Apple Maps, disabled map updates, and forced it to use offline maps

Something I'm finding frustrating about interviews is that unless I absolutely knock it out of the park I really don't have a good idea of how well I did or not. I've had ones that I've felt good about getting mixed feedback and ones I've felt like I've bombed get almost all positive feedback.

I feel so fortunate that I'm job searching in a time where most of the companies I'm applying for have a "frontend track" so my skills can be best showcased instead of fumbling around with leetcode style questions.

The more system design interviews I do the more I think that it's actually just a behavioral interview in a technical trench coat. Most of my mental facilities end up going trying to sus out the vibes of the interviewer and what they want than actually designing a system.

I'm working on chonkit again after a looooong hiatus and added the beginnings of an image gallery attachment. The CSS snap point powered carousel was an interesting challenge but I think I've finally got something good! (I know the static images are super low res atm I'm going to tackle that next)

One of the most nerve-wracking, astonishing gaming feats I've seen performed live. Somehow makes Balatro into an actual gambling game and then, through sheer knowledge of the mechanics, forces the house to lose. youtu.be/A7Go7IXlYLg?...

I have not been following the absolute latest developments of CSS as closely as I have in the past but this is *already* a major issue for large scale web apps. I always hated when debugging perf issues where all you'd get is a big block of "layout" or "compositing layers" with no deeper insight.

Just finished up the campaign to First Light. Was pretty consistently impressed with the storytelling throughout but that high bar it established made me disappointed with the final act(s). It felt incomplete & straightforward compared to the thought & care the story had towards the beginning.

I told my cats that they needed to increase their adoption of AI or else be at risk of layoffs but this is what they've been doing instead of vibe-coding apps.

Waymos, especially on the highway, still get A TON of attention in the Bay Area. When I turn to look at the cars next to mine it’s not uncommon to see an entire family with their phones out looking back.

interesting that the only word we get from the actual developers of theses games are executive producers and CEOs

“Bethesda has such a rich history pushing graphics with NVIDIA, going all the way back to Morrowind, with that incredible water,” said Todd Howard, studio head and executive producer at Bethesda Game Studios. “When NVIDIA showed us DLSS 5 and we got it running in Starfield, it was amazing how it brought it to life. We've played it. We can't wait for all of you to do so as well.”
“At CAPCOM, we strive to create experiences that feel cinematic, compelling and deeply believable — where every shadow, texture and ray of light is crafted with intention to enhance atmosphere and emotional impact,” said Jun Takeuchi, executive producer and executive corporate officer at CAPCOM. “DLSS 5 represents another important step in pushing visual fidelity forward, helping players become even more immersed in the world of Resident Evil.”
"Immersion is about making the world feel real. DLSS 5 is a real step towards that goal,” said Charlie Guillemot, co-CEO of Vantage Studios. “The way it renders lighting, materials and characters changes what we can promise to players. On Assassin’s Creed Shadows, it's letting us build the kind of worlds we've always wanted to."

I'm no pundit so this is kind of a shot in the dark — but this shutdown reminds me of Xbox shutting down Tango Gameworks and the common thread between the two is that the teams were "between games" when they were shut down. I think these shutdowns might be more about bad timing :/
