Has some fun bugs that caused where an insane amount of instances were added to the bullet pool continually. Good to know if doesn’t pag much even with an insanely large amount. Stopped early freeing.

A few weeks ago I experimented with PSX style textures/resolution on my character model. I've since also tried a higher res version and added a few more polys. It would be easier to make assets in a low-res way, but I feel like you lose too many details. 256 and 512 version of skin.

Started my game dev journey a few months ago with a game idea attached to a story I've wanted to tell
The main character/antagonists use a "singularity core" to bend space and create a gravity well around them that pulls them and other things around them towards it.

Voltage Visage. An art piece I made over the last few weeks. On display along with some light-based art projects for an evening in Seattle. I’ve been having fun experimenting with what’s possible with this vintage eBay find. #oscilloscope #visualization

I want to be optimistic, but how are we going to get access to this? Let alone convince a large chunk of America to get it?
THIS IS HUGE! Researchers at Stanford University have developed a dual-antibody treatment that remains effective against ALL SARS-CoV-2 variants by targeting a less-mutable part of the virus. This breakthrough could lead to longer-lasting therapies that OUTPACE viral evolution. 🧪🧵⬇️

Really enjoyed recording this one with my friend NaKyle. He and I always try for the comedic riffing. He's a vast well of knowledge and loves to explain the intricacies of any technology he learns. Expect him on future episodes.
In the second episode I riff with my good friend NaKlye on file types. Who knew there was so much drama with how bits are arranged on your file system?

The first episode of my new podcast. I'll be interviewing makers of all types. If you breath air, you make carbon dioxide. You're invited!
In our first episode I interviewed Don Austin @dtronaustin.bsky.social, a #cyberpunk #comic #artist with a lot to say about his artistic journey, influences and how digital art see itself out.

This administration has convinced half the country that the real problem isn’t the billionaires who evade taxes and collect government handouts, but the working class who pay taxes and get nothing in return.

Thanks to everyone who pointed to the crucial sentences: Catastrophic fire erases what was there before. So does forgetting. Memory is a resource for facing the future; it’s equipment for imagining, planning, preparing.

Getting ahead of the AI pronoun discourse to firmly stand on the side of "it". It is not a he or a she or they. It is not only un-human but inhuman, anti-human. Do not honor it with personhood
