I just learned that there are now 1000 Hz monitors.
I can't wait to read all the comments about how games are badly optimized because they can't reach or - if they do - might crash at 1000 FPS.

Can we please not unreal-engine everything so hard? We are not supposed to be rendering the next Marvel movie in real time when playing a LEGO game.
The recommended hardware specs for Lego Batman: Legacy of The Dark Knight have been reduced from 32 GB RAM down to 16 GB RAM. The specs may still change later as they're optimizing.

Death Stranding 2 comes to PC in March.
Well... I still haven't gotten a PS5 for a reasonable price so... now I only have to decide if I should get it on EGS or Steam.

Polygon: Wow, Valve wrote such a cool mail! So caring, wow. Wholesome.

Ordered the #FatalFrame II Remake for the Switch.
Would've LOVED a proper physical version, but Game Key Card makes no sense to me. And don't want to support that shit either. So I got the digital version. Fair enough.
Despite that, I am still super excited for the game. Can't wait to play it.

#gamedev pro tip:
When making a game, things should have simple names. Like Sun and Moon.
But according to official Saturday Morning Marble Game lore, the sun is called
"The big hot Marble in the sky"
and the moon is named
"The slightly smaller and much colder Mable in the sky"

Because marble contraptions wouldn't be much fun if you couldn't see them, right?

Alright. I'm getting to a point where there are only three major things left to do for Saturday Morning Marble Game:
a) proper tutorial
b) porting heavy code to C++
c) more parts (90% of the work)
Which means I should slowly start registering store pages on GOG, Itch and Steam, too.

Started working out again with RingFit. Haven't done so in a while and so every muscle in my body aches each time I try to move an inch. And I LOVE it!
Today was another session and with the existing muscle ache, it was rather painful. Exquisitely so.
Wait...
am I a masochist?

Today I added a minor fill light to break up the flatness of the ambient light. It's barely visible during the day since the sky provides ample variation, but during night when the sky is dark, it slaps.
Left - without fill light

My sky shader has a happy little accident:
If there are a lot of clouds, the scene in the game actually gets brighter, since the ambient light is influenced by the sky (i.e. a lot of white > a lot of blue). This makes for some real cool scenes.

I suppose players might enjoy some pre-defined window sizes.
I know there will be a confusion about why you can't have fullscreen resolution settings, but since resolution scaling is a thing, there really isn't a good reason to not use the default display resolution.

Did a massive rework on all the Shadow Quality settings of Saturday Morning Marble Game since I was still seeing artifacts in various settings. So with each bump in maximum distance and shadow resolution, I need to adjust a handful of other things along the way.

It's a damn shame that Limbo Of The Lost can't be sold because of its countless counts of stolen assets. Cause that game is a wonderful, endlessly funny pieces of art ever made. It deserves to be preserved. I got a copy archived. What's your excuse?

I'm hyperfixated on Star Renegades right now, although I am really bad at it. For the same reason I'm bad at (J)RPGs.
I just can't look at some stats and form a great plan on how skills of different characters when they have certain weapons and/or armor will synergize when also

I am already super excited for the Fatal Frame II Remake (technically the second Remake of the game (but who's counting (except me))). I wish it would get a proper physical version on the Switch 2, but oh well... just gonna get the digital version.
