Was updating one of my #AFrameVR demos to 1.6.0 and noticed a HUGE performance hit between 1.4 and 1.5. Apparently, the renderer settings for colorManagement, maxCanvasWidth, and maxCanvasWidth were changed and have different defaults.

Forgot how much "fun" it was setting up the .ssh/config and rsa keys for multiple accounts on a single machine for git.
Also, not sure what was up with my old Windows install that prevented me from using it before but managed to get WPEngine's Local app installed and working for local WP dev!

So Windows finally gets it right with a good Start Menu in 10, and then completely shit the bed with the monumental disappointment that is the Windows 11 Start Menu. HECK!

Finally took the time to migrate up to Windows 11. Now, to reinstall gigs upon gigs of apps, lol.

Been trying to brush up on my #Joomla skills. It's been quite a while since I worked with it. The new interface seems pretty nice.
As someone more familiar with #WordPress, does anyone know if Joomla has an #ACFPro style content entry module or component that's "standard"?

It's been a little bit since my last post, but this week was rough. I think I went through 2 additional design revisions before finally landing on something I was enthusiastic about. Changed the rules for the puzzle a bit too...

Nearing completion for the underside of the dial interface. So ready to get back into developing puzzle logic. This piece had SOOO many precision cuts...

Here's one of the randomized murals being opened. I wanted the doors to have that smooth, heavy, bounce effect after they come to a rest.

Was able to fumble my way through getting a thumbnail-on-save feature built into my save game routine. Such a nice touch of refinement!
Oh, and placeholder title screen lol.

I get a bit OCD when naming things. I asked chat GPT what the names of some of the objects in my level were and I learned TWO new words: "lintel," and "stele" (plural "stelae").
Lintels are the stones that rest on top of pillars, and stelae are the small stones with symbols on them. 💡 🧠

I've got the first puzzle solution being properly randomized, and I tweaked some of the materials. I'm *REALLY* digging the emissive effect on these murals.
Sundays are for screenshots too, right?

Since this demo project I'm working on is technically the furthest I've been in terms of it being a fully featured game, I wanted to see about putting it on version control and followed this guide, with relative ease.

If you're going to make educational videos on YouTube that are any longer than just a few minutes in length, PLEASE, I beg you, learn how to orate without vocal fry.
Nothing interrupts my attention span faster than trying to engage a speaker's words through vocal fry.

Ran out of brain juice working on the blueprint logic for the puzzle that will unlock the stairs that I showed in my last update... Knock the rest out after I grab a few Zs.

My biggest gripe with #UE5 is how when you're working in a blueprint with lots of meshes, it likes to toggle all your parent components open, while also not sorting them alphabetically whenever you do any sort of save/compile operation.

Some more progress. Circular ring capstones, columns, stairs, and a fence. Always been a fan of art deco. I think I'll try and incorporate more into the designs as I get to the finer details and implementation.

My thoughts on this new "programming language" #Mirror that just dropped. Heckin' heck... Writing unit tests first and having AI generate code that passes the check? CURSED.
