an attempt to try to see how AI would work a simple task..i wanted always to see one of my all time favorites (GTA2) as if it is modernized (OG is outsanding), so i asked AI basic ask, to enhance the screenshot and make it modern.😄 it can't give me top view after asking 3 times!
The power of modern gaming..You need a 16GB RAM, and a 8 core CPU with 3.6GHz, a 3584 cores GPU with 12GB Video Memory, just to watch a 3d mango model🥭...nice!!
But hey, this doesn't mean that my articles is bad 😆the AI thing was correct at the breakdown, and i'm satisfied for their machine calculated rate of 9.5/10.

He shared w me AI's rate for my Pretty Frames series. i kinda liked it, and it maybe kinda true, but that last paragraph screws everything and makes the narrative of AI smart falling apart.
AI results can really convince you of something wrong or partly wrong, if you're not very familiar with the topic being asked! Now imagine people with their first steps and break into such industires counting on AI to learn everything and to build their expertiese!
mamoniem, et al. 🌹♠️🦷🌿@mamoniem.bsky.social · 6d agothe pixel-perfect and multisampled thing mentioned in that paragraph by the end has nothing to do with pretty frames. this just pages on my blog with zero relation to what being asked, but AI in a convincing way twisted the discussion to make them sound like part of the package.

just had the time to watch this interview with Adrian Carmack, been in my open tabs for few days & was eager to reach it. Very nice to see many of the personal parts of a legendary personality like Adrian. Thanks Jesse for making this happen! www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZaCY...

been long enough since i tasted a triangle with a palm size device 😃(display of that device, the quality, weight and overall make is really nice).
mamoniem, et al. 🌹♠️🦷🌿@mamoniem.bsky.social · 2w agothat Anbernic thing is so cool! i ported my engine to PSP quite sometime ago (through an additional "gum" renderer backend) but due to moving i can't access my old PSP devkit (left in home country), so it was very simple to test samples on that tiny handheld thing!

as a gamer first, i never cared & will never care about graphics of the games i choose to play. a good game, is a good game, regardless how visually good/humble it is. i apprecaite good graphics, but it is not in the checklist when i pick a game to play! youtu.be/osXFKe2MG2g

i wrote this little breakdown during the weekend, showing some of the challenges faced while proting some modern geometry to 25 years ago hardware. you may find one or two things useful in there (if you are interested in ancient technology). mamoniem.com/xbox-og-adve...

Disclaimer, Quinn comes with 2 LODs, i've generated up to 7 LODs with the unreal editor tools, and i took the lowest detail one to backport. This lowest LOD is the one displaying in UE6 in the other monitor, it may look shiny & cool & stuff, because it is Unreal on a 2026 PC.
mamoniem, et al. 🌹♠️🦷🌿@mamoniem.bsky.social · last mo.UE6 Quinn on Xbox OG! One more fun project before putting back the HW in the dustroom. Play anims on that gen wasn't as easy as today, no bone shader as we know it today. That involved optimizations, backporting geo data to ~25 years ago formats & write vertex shader in assembly!
