I love SDF's. Dual contouring with a quadtree. No collapsing or other optimizations, and still some fixable bugs with choosing when to subdivide a square

Made a Unity project for rendering animated text in a way that I don't hate. Text is text, animations are clips on a timeline.

I like to work procedurally & non-destructively.... doing that n editors like Resolve I find tedious and challenging (and also I'm bad at them)

Got an 85” tv vertically mounted. Of course, the inaugural thing the students put on it was subway surfers -_-

Has anyone checked in on app developers recently? Are they doing okay? Are the co2 meters plugged in?

My wallet is being unfairly and personally attacked by the steam fest. Rude and uncalled for tbh, I need all of these games.

I'm just adding up every possible 16 bit number with every other possible 16 bit number from simulated NAND gates in my completely non-optimized computer sim....

How long could it possibly take?

I turned an old android tablet into a display that streams live chess games as a gift for my dad.

Feeling sad, might go look at Microsoft Powerpoint Templates as an inexhaustible source of personal affirmations and nuggets of life wisdom

I'm working on a procedural sprite editor inside Unity that uses a node editor for SDF equations. It feels pretty neat.
