inbox is where things come to hurt you.
outbox is where you put things to hurt others.
"hitbox" vs "hurtbox" is so ambiguous in my head, is it established which is which?

hitbox is either the box that can hit others, or it's box that gets hit

hurtbox is either the box that can hurt others, or it's the box where you get hurt

are there better names for these?

it's just one shader, how many nodes could it have? four? five?

y'all better appreciate this one once you get to see it. it's pretty good!

on monday i decided to buy a christmas gift because an online retailer said it would get delivered the day after, on tuesday.

it's now wednesday and it hasn't even shipped and i'm regretting my decisions.

decided to bite the bullet and get my screen size and dpi compensation set up for the new game.

did you know there's a lot of different devices?
like, this ui needs to work on a low dpi small phone and a high dpi tablet and ideally a computer or tv-screen too?

it's awful and i hate it.

sometimes I'm out and about in the world and I see the moon, and then it strikes me that's a *place you can go to*?

that's WILD. it's like, in the sky?!?

i gotta admit, this looked a lot less like, uh whatever this is, when i imagined it.

i've spent the whole morning fighting to figure out the math to place an object inside a view space rectangle by moving the camera, while taking perspective into account.

turns out this is beyond me!

@playtopia.bsky.social hey, I came looking for the schedule and the link in your bio is broken! (.com instead of .co.za)

I've been knocked out by a cold for a week+, but today I finally made it out of the house for the only thing worth pursuing.

if someone made me design some ui thing for hours, implement it for a day and then immediately go "nah, that's not it" i would punch them in the face.

sadly for me, i'm that person.

it's a god damn travesty that I own a house and it doesn't have a single Jefferies tube.

surely the bank will loan me all the monies to correct this?!

usually when there's an update to the unity hub it's something annoying, but now i can hide the cloud/version crap AND I CAN SEE THE NAMES OF THE PROJECTS NOT THE FOLDERS. OH MY GOD. FINALLY!

i wrote some php for my little error reporting thing today.
there's something very therapeutic to me making those little utility scripts that are small and simple and don't really matter if you bodge it a bit.

i'm adding a second network adapter to my proxmox virtualizing server and looked up how to bridge the two connections.

the article also helpfully teaches me how to copy and paste on a desktop computer.

i'm not sure what their intended target audience is here?

lost a good hour being extremely confused by this.
if i put the const outside the function the shader still compiles and "works" but the value of pi becomes something else entirely.

it's probably expected behavior, because i call that last function via shadergraph. still tho!
