1/6 Excited to share our #SIGGRAPH2026 paper, Dual Contouring of Signed Distance Data! We propose a new method for reconstructing sharp meshes from discrete samples of signed distance functions (SDFs) that does not require gradients. Project page: gatc.cs.columbia.edu/projects/dua...

Plot twist, it's still not enough in some cases as I found out when trying the new ffmpeg 9 (which has Animated WebP support), still blocked despite all its files being already unblocked manually. And of course Windows doesn't tell you what file it dislikes, so now I get to play software therapist.

If someone's curious, the workaround is editing the file properties to unblock it (because it's flagged as being downloaded from the web) which is fine but the frustration is the inconsistence of allowing it to run in one case but not the other.

Bluesky's new CEO Toni Schneider on the platform's reputation for being a liberal bubble: "Yes, we definitely want that to change. It is already changing. It certainly wasn’t designed to attract one specific group of people."

It's infuriating to see #Markdown become the em-dash of coding. MD is a reasonably lightweight enhancement for human-created text files with much wider support than bbcode and easy enough to be understood by non-technical people, that's why I've used it for probably almost two decades at this point

I'm looking for 3D artists specialized in Hard Surface modelling for SciFi architecture, Characters and vehicles, please reach out! Really really cool video game project in the works!

Gaming is a huge part of Polish culture. 💜 This October, GOG will become the digital home of Video Games From Poland, the first-ever national celebration of Polish video games, organized by the Creative Industries Institute under the auspices of the Polish Ministry of Culture and National Heritage.

Good thing I've put cardboard on the window (initially because of an annoying neighbour that complains when she sees me in the kitchen on evenings, city folks are weird) because the window glass went up to 46°C today Managed to preserve a cozy 28°C in the room 🌞

RIP Kavinsky… thank you for the inspiration 💔

I was told you couldn't do 3D on the Playdate, so I did it. Then I was told there was no way I could create exterior levels like those in Mirror's Edge, so I proved them wrong again.

This little project that was supposed to be out in a year is out now, 6 years later. It took a while but it’s great. It’s a whole new full length campaign for Quake with 32 maps and a completely new soundtrack, aimed at being compatible with winquake. I made a few maps for it. youtu.be/ViJMgLNLW08

ha, I had somehow forgotten that #Prey 2017 ran on #CryEngine, not VoidEngine like #Dishonored I randomly ran into that info while deepdiving into unrelated CryEngine 3 rabbit holes where my ancient obscure knowledge of ActionScript actually came in handy for editing some Scaleform assets #gamedev

Nothing disengages me from a story faster than when I want to pass/fail a specific check for roleplay reasons and computer says No

Somehow dice rolls feel part of the strategy during combat whereas they feel so arbitrary in dialogs, like passively witnessing your role rather than actively playing it I much prefer the #Fallout #NewVegas style "your stats/perks allow you to pick these special lines" dialogs

Controversial videogame dislike: I hate when games have ‘dice rolls’ involved. If I wanted to be totally out of control of my own life I would not have opted for the designers’ hand for a tenner

Unfortunately this is now out of date, and the "Opt Out" option was recently silently changed to "Be stabbed less often"
