Warren @warrenwolfy.bsky.social · 26/09/2026VSCode's new "highlight in black" aesthetic is certainly a choice. Unfortunately, my eyes aren't good enough to play the new "find the camouflaged tabs" mini-game while coding, so I decided to switch back to the old GUI, lol... 010
Warren @warrenwolfy.bsky.social · 29/08/2026Jinxxy's new, "Import from Gumroad" feature didn't work correctly, and now I'm sad. 😢 None of the paid "Fast Fur - Standard Version" licenses were transferred. I really didn't want the stress of now having to figure out how to manually transfer ~5000 licenses... 330
Warren @warrenwolfy.bsky.social · 17/08/2026I did some handyman plumbing today. Inevitably, it makes me remember my dad, and how he was always willing to show me how to work with tools. 020
Warren @warrenwolfy.bsky.social · 12/08/2026I've been resisting letting "Unity Hub" trick me into wasting days trying to troubleshoot why it keep constantly popping up and nagging me. Instead, I've been briefly installing it once a week, just long enough to update my Unity licenses, then uninstalling it again. 020
Warren @warrenwolfy.bsky.social · 29/06/2026Progress continues with the v6.0 re-write of my shader. Now with shadows! 2323
Warren @warrenwolfy.bsky.social · 25/06/2026The buttons on my trusty G600 mouse are dying, so I bought a new one. First step is removing the placebo “it must be high quality because it feels heavy” weights… 430
Warren @warrenwolfy.bsky.social · 22/06/2026Hooray! I finally beat Ascension 10 with all 5 characters! My overall feeling is that the game is noticeably easier than Slay the Spire 1, even though the monsters are tougher. There's just a lot more ways to build a winning deck. 020
Warren @warrenwolfy.bsky.social · 04/06/2026lol... "birb" (these are tabs I had open from last night. I was researching how to convert shaders from the "Built in Render Pipeline" to the "Universal Render Pipeline"): 100
Warren @warrenwolfy.bsky.social · 03/06/2026I just posted an early alpha version of Fast Fur v6.0 on my Discord server. The lighting is ultra-basic, and it only supports very few features, but it's rendering ~300% more fur detail, has much longer render distance, and runs ~5-10% faster. So I think it's pretty neat! 1255
Warren @warrenwolfy.bsky.social · 16/05/2026I’m bored at the hospital (getting some chest pain checked out), so I figured I’d ask Co-Pilot to make a super-fast fur shader. I love that it has no reservations about confidently trash-talking mine, lol… 020
Warren @warrenwolfy.bsky.social · 10/05/2026I released v5.2.0 of my fur shader today, yay! 🎆 I was planning to take a bunch of photos and do promotional vidoes showing it off, however my work on version 6 has suddenly overshadowed it. I've discovered a new rendering technique, and it completely changes EVERYTHING... 040
Warren @warrenwolfy.bsky.social · 01/05/2026Like, look at these numbers. I REALLY SUCK AT THE GAME, and yet it's exactly what I want. The first Slay the Spire is just so merciless, and feels so unfair at max difficulty (because I literally don't know what I'm doing wrong), and I'm having a blast going through those same feelings again. 000
Warren @warrenwolfy.bsky.social · 01/05/2026Slay the Spire 2 is getting review-bombed. IMHO, the criticisms are fair: The developers punish "fun" decks. They nerf anything that is too easy to win with, and made the Act 3 boss Doormaker deliberately hard-counter many popular deck styles. This is, frankly, why I really love the game. 110
Warren @warrenwolfy.bsky.social · 10/04/2026Shader development is delayed tonight, due to StS2 patch notes: 000
Warren @warrenwolfy.bsky.social · 07/04/2026My co-worker brought in leftover Easter cookies she had made. One of them was a shortbread “Paint your own cookie”, so I did: 010
Warren @warrenwolfy.bsky.social · 25/03/2026Hooray! I finally beat Ascention 10 with Defect! (ie. the highest difficulty available so far...) I loved Defect in Slay the Spire, but Defect in Slay the Spire 2 is even more fun. I won with a 1-attack (Null) deck that obliterated everything in its path, lol... 020
Warren @warrenwolfy.bsky.social · 20/03/2026Day 2 without home internet. I must somehow survive until Saturday, but I am already approaching, “Hi Bob!” levels of media deprivation. 010
Warren @warrenwolfy.bsky.social · 09/03/2026I remember in the 90s when everybody's email inbox started rapidly becomming 100% spam. It felt like the death of email was inevitable, until tech companies started building proper tools to attack the problem. Hopefully history will repeat itself, soon! www.youtube.com/watch?v=L-Vr...youtube.comDead Internet Theory Is Real: Resident Evil Requiem Exposed ItYouTube video by Bellular News 010
Warren @warrenwolfy.bsky.social · 09/03/2026Woo hoo! Got my boi Defect back online! Defect was my favourtite StS1 character. I managed to get a 2-game Ascention 20 win streak with him. Slay the Spire 2 might just be the perfect deck-builder card game. It's just so good. (... and, um... I REALLY should have gone to bed already, lol...) 020
Warren @warrenwolfy.bsky.social · 09/03/2026Vancoufur 2026 was great! I got to hang out with friends, attend interesting panels, watch great dancers, retreat to my room when my social battery was empty and work on my shader (lol...), and so many other good memories! And now that I'm home I get to play the just-released Slay the Spire 2! 020
Warren @warrenwolfy.bsky.social · 08/03/2026I've been searching for anything new written about fur rendering in the past ~3 years. So far, the results fit into 3 catergories: - AI slop (😥) - Pre-AI articles I somehow missed (😃) - Links to my shader (🤣) 160
Warren @warrenwolfy.bsky.social · 07/03/2026I bought a 2020 MacBook so that I could work on the shader during convention downtime. The hardware is nice, but I think I could do without the, "you're an idiot, get used to doing it Apple's way you stupid Windows user..." search results when researching if it's possible to re-configure something. 010
Warren @warrenwolfy.bsky.social · 06/03/2026heh… I didn’t expect the, “How-to make furry art with 1989 Deluxe Paint” panel at Vancoufur to be packed, lol… 010
Warren @warrenwolfy.bsky.social · 03/03/2026I really like orels' Shader Generator. It seems like the right foundation to start building Fast Fur v6.0 on... 010
Warren @warrenwolfy.bsky.social · 02/03/2026Hooray! My preference would have been to go to permanent Standard Time, but I’m okay with this compromise if that’s what it took to make it finally happen. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...cbc.caB.C. to end time changes, adopt year-round daylight time | CBC NewsMarch 8 will be the last time British Columbians have to change their clocks, B.C.

I've only seen clips, but from what I have seen/heard, Starfleet Academy is so bad that it's doing to Star Trek fans what Season 8 of Game of Thrones did to its fan base. 12100

Warren @warrenwolfy.bsky.social · 06/02/2026Hooray! My Bigscreen Beyond arrived! but… um… the visuals look like crap? I think I need to get my eyes checked. Everything I’ve read says it should look better than my Quest Pro. Maybe they got my prescription wrong? 210
Warren @warrenwolfy.bsky.social · 29/01/2026I'm having a classic night of fixing one bug and creating two more, lol... (my nose isn't supposed to be speckly) 020
Warren @warrenwolfy.bsky.social · 24/12/2025My co-worker has been super-supportive of me making my shader. He trained to be a graphic artist, but we both ended up working desk jobs in HVAC. He’s been adamantly refusing payment from me for the GUI icons he made, so tomorrow I force him to accept this “Christmas Bonus” (it’s a Steam Deck). 150
Warren @warrenwolfy.bsky.social · 17/12/2025The “but” in this statement from the new Mozilla CEO, justifying his “the people yearn for more AI” vision for Firefox’s future, seems like an odd choice of words. Why not “and”? Why the implication that honesty must be balanced against being fast and modern? 052
Warren @warrenwolfy.bsky.social · 02/09/2025Fast Fur V5.1.0 is officially released! I actually added a whole bunch of new stuff, but the one feature EVERYBODY wants is the new Light Volumes support, lol... 1206
Warren @warrenwolfy.bsky.social · 25/08/2025Hah... I definitely need this! Sacred was showing it off to me this weekened by biting my ears, lol... 030

Warren @warrenwolfy.bsky.social · 17/07/2025Ooof... dizzy spell! My least favourite feeling! Trying to find somewhere to buy dramamine typically results in additional dizziness, due to 99% of all the "cures" being sold in stores and online just being some form of placebo. 020

Thankfully, I'd already returned the suit and gloves, due to technical issues (my house has major radio interference problems). The staff were very nice people to deal with.

Warren @warrenwolfy.bsky.social · 19/12/2024I FINALLY just posted Release Candidate 1 of "Warren's Fast Fur Shader v5.0" for testing! It's more than a year behind schedule, but I'm confident the extra time was worth it to get it right. 1217
Warren @warrenwolfy.bsky.social · 18/12/2024Testing out a new "anisotropic" lighting formula. It's much faster, and makes metallic fur really shine (literally)! 020
Warren @warrenwolfy.bsky.social · 13/12/2024Just had another customer get angry because they tried to force their boilers to 100% heating non-stop, and the equipment refused (because the water was already hot, and boiler explosions in retirement homes are bad). It’s kinda scary how many times people attempt this. 020
Warren @warrenwolfy.bsky.social · 06/12/2024D’oh! My shader’s FPS testing rig has a dead motherboard, so I was going to replace it, but I have no thermal paste anywhere in my house! Rookie mistake! 010
