So I'm not usually one to get excited before things release but...
_could the steam frame be the thing that convinces me to get into vr? eheh_ :P
Kinda lost a lot of interest when Meta kinda took over that space a lot, not to mention Linux VR being a bit of a kinda ??? for me.

I've been kindof getting back into vanilla(-y) Minecraft as of recent
I'm so used to modded quest packs so this feels a bit weirdly _oh gosh what and how do I do things_ heh :P

so I just redid my website.. uh I basically wanted to do easings.net, except you can play with the expression and you get more than just JavaScript code (ok well you don't get any CSS bezier curves because heck if I know how to do that)

Gosh subtitles can be a heck to work with huh. Not authoring them, that's fine - but just the different file formats and converting between it all and tooling and what not.

Ok Graphite is pretty cool huh, just in search for a foss vector editor that doesn't make me want to tear my hair out.
Still quite rough, but gosh I've wanted a node editor for vector graphics.

Hm wondering if Davinci Resolve's GPU-compute language, DCTL, is just.. a pile of macros and functions that get thrown into OpenCL/MSL/Cuda code. That's a horrifying thought.
I've just been.. treating it as OpenCL but a little weird, and now I'm wonder if the reason a pile of keywords are […]

..realizing Resolve has a character limit on expressions
sooo... how about working around it by writing code in a sticky note, and eval-ing that :P

Tinkering on that raytracer's getting a little tiresome when I'm forever at odds with performance now - struggling to get it running decently on anything that isn't a _very_ high end graphics card.

One of these days I should get back to crafting interpreters. Ended up stopping midway through chapter 3 and heck if I can remember it that well.
...but for now I'm getting sucked back in to Balatro so :P

I'm looking at trying to save registers for shader code. Some of the stuff you can do here is (cleverly) whack.
Like, storing bools in the sign bits of floats you expect to always be positive. `abs` is basically free anyways.

It always felt kinda strange how the conventional way of doing post-pro with renderers is.. draw a tri (or two tris) that cover the whole screen, and shade that triangle.

Hm, apparently I'm being bottlenecked by register counts on that raytracer now - and looks like naga (shader transpiler wgpu uses) doesn't support half-precision floats for now - wanted to try 16-bit floats to try save on vector regs.
Trying to get this performing better is.. an ordeal alright.
