Software raytracer is taking shape, but I think my target of "real time frame rate" might have been a bit of a tall order lol
I still have ideas of how to speed it up, but I guess we'll see how much it achieves!

Will we ever stop referring to less defined graphics as 'retro'? At this point I'm not sure it's all that evocative of nostalgia tbh, it's just a style

The last problem I had from switching to Linux is now fixed
Blender's Cycles renderer not using my GPU was resolved by getting Blender via pacman rather than from Steam

Sometimes you've got to accept that if you don't understand what people are talking about, the conversation isn't for you. Even if someone is kind enough to stop and educate you, you can't reasonably expect to have an opinion worth listening to about a topic you didn't know existed five minutes ago.

It's honestly crazy that R* are trying this shit.
The UK Games Industry union literally came about largely because of the RDR2 crunch where they made us work 9am-8:30pm 6 days a week for months on end and wern't allowed to holiday days at any point from June to November.

For some reason the media is not mentioning that the reason GTA6 is being delayed is they fired 40 staff over threats of unionization and now the rest of their staff are revolting

Oh how I yearn for the days when the interns would look at my chest when I’m speaking, and the myriad joys of trying to focus in an open office floor plan that is so loud I can’t hear myself think.

Games industry forces RTOs (often involving moving cities for a job that may not exist in a few months) because being in office together on zoom is just ~*so heckin valuable*~
but then replaces as many people as they can get away with with chatbots because the human connection doesn’t matter
Hmm!

Looking for something to download a youtube video. Turns out I have two things that do it already, one of which is the media player that installed with my OS.

What leaks?
NEW: Rockstar Games says the 30+ employees it fired last week were leaking confidential information, disputing allegations that the company is union-busting.
The union says it was a private chat with labor organizers. This messy battle isn't over yet. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

I don't think most people understand that the games industry is run by people who do not care about games or the people who make them.
They care about money. They intentionally create many risky endeavors hoping one will hit large. The rest of the teams and people they don't care about.

important to remember that all these redundancies and closures are not because people are playing fewer games or less willing to pay for them

It's weird to see theory crafting going on about Silent Hill 2 from the remake... Is that really the reference point for any theories? Surely it's just interpretations of the original, like what we've all had for 20 years? Is SH2R really an authority on any theories?
