fun facts: the unreal niagara scalability manager makes your particles more performant!

EXCEPT

if your particle system is set to pre-simulate 150 frames every time it is reset, and it's reset every single time it un-culls due to the player walking far away and back

then it destroys your framerate

A lot of good game deals right now, but I should be saving my money, so I bought books instead.

The "Mega Castlevania IV" #homebrew project
by "Retro Reloaded" recently got an update.

And the ambitious feat of porting the beloved #SNES classic to the #Sega Genesis is now one step closer to reality.

You can grab the ROM here:

In the 1950s psychiatrist Fredric Wertham's book Seduction of the Innocent incited a moral panic that nearly destroyed the US comics industry. Professor Carol Tilley, U of I, is the academic who went thru his papers and proved Wertham had faked most of his data. And Carol is a hilarious comics nerd!

#linux #music folks!

I’m looking to update my music production pipeline. I used to use FL studio and want something linux native. Haven’t been able to produce anything good in LMMS because I’ve got no good VSTs

Help!

Made a slight update to this piece to highlight that these are all Sora videos, which I think is important. I had thought they were Sora videos but a few readers and @chadloder.bsky.social pointed out that the superimposed text goes above where Sora watermarks are

AI-Generated Sora Videos of ICE Raids Are Wildly Viral on Facebook
An account is spamming horrific, dehumanizing videos of immigration enforcement because the Facebook algorithm is rewarding them for it.

#GPU #graphics folks, say I want a GPU-side concurrent hash table, and the API only supports 32-bit atomics. It's easy if keys are also 32-bit, but what if I want some complex keys (say, a struct)? Can I do this and how?

Salo was a documentary, the truest film ever made, one that slides farther down the spectrum from metaphor to literal reality every year

Made an incredible discovery for language learning: Chrono Trigger DS lets you access the options menu to change the langauge *mid-dialogue box*. If you're having trouble with a line you can double-check the official localization without even closing the dialogue box. Feels very rare.

Am I watching a 9-hour and 38-minute video of a hobbit walking from The Shire to Mordor in Lord of the Rings Online while Andy Serkis narrates? No comment.

Here's a little animation of today's Nodevember, for the prompt "monument".

This shows how the radius of the monument can be changed and the setup procedurally rebuilds it. 😊

Adam Saltsman just gave the best talk about the process of game design that I’ve ever seen. Bravo.

Incredible investigation of the journey an idea goes through, and smart breakdown of the intrinsic and extrinsic forces tugging on the project. A must watch.
