took me 3 hours but I figured out the “URP culling shadowcasters behind the camera” issue House House cites in their disclosure. This culls immediately when the object is off-camera, but modifying the culling params with a custom frustrum is straightforward

- I know & like these people very much - I am v sad they used an LLM - I think limited use & use for code is still harmful - I think online community driven solutions & search have been so polluted by LLMs they produce the situation HH describe - I think zero tolerance is a viable political position

abortion and HRT are the same fight . our bodies are not property we have stolen from our parents or our husbands or the state

I still think it’s wild how quickly these monstrosities popped up all over the world and immediately blighted the earth. We get told how difficult it is to build anything beneficial to communities but these things are good to go in a few months. It really amplifies the amount of bullshit we get fed

Cooking and bathing became difficult when taps ran dry on an Indonesian island where data centers power the global artificial intelligence boom.

There’s so much heat on tiktok of exactly this tone. Dems insane if they don’t listen

To be absolutely clear: This was another Y2K situation. Lots and lots of people worked diligently for months and years, at great cost, taking hours away from their friends & family, to make our elections a bit more free and fair. Voting was still threatened! It still took record-breaking turnout!

Norm Eisen@normeisen.bsky.social · 4d ago

This is so wrong The reason “Trump didn’t steal the elections” is because we & the pro-voter coalition stopped him EIGHT times over the past 21 months Here’s how: a thread (1/x)

You will never be politely trans enough for the people who want to destroy you. There is no acceptable level of trans for them. It's not because some other trans people are weirder than you, it's because they hate trans people, meaning you, no matter what. Deal, literally, with it.

Katelyn Burns@katelynburns.com · 4d ago

I cannot stress enough that the Supreme Court did not rule against trans health care because of non binary people. Be serious.

The developers at BioWare who made the original games you loved left or were laid off years ago and are working on other games now. Put this money into new Edmonton start up indie studios that may become the NEXT BioWare; that’ll do a hundred times more good than trying to revive a years-old corpse.

Don Davies@donvdavies.bsky.social · 4d ago

The developers at BioWare know how to run their studio. They know how to make the games that fans love. They should be given the first opportunity – and the federal support – to buy it and run it themselves. If you agree, sign the petition at the link in my bio! #SaveMassEffect

I really think that people are just extremely predisposed to think of media in really flawed ways. Our pattern-matching brains want to define movies by a studio name, love of a story as love for the IP, or attach a couple of names to a game as "They did it!" The name on the wall made nothing

look I’m stoned so I’m gonna be real nice and gentle okay? Everyone who told us it was fine for democrats to run anti-trans ads if it helped them win because “we can demand better after they win”? You better be on that phone to your electeds’ offices every single day. It’s your shift now.

I never thought I'd write this story. After sweeping Democratic victories in Texas, the state's anti-trans restrictions appear set to fall. Texas' bans on gender marker changes, GAC for minors, trans bathroom use, and more are all on the chopping block. Today is a new dawn for trans Texans.

A New Dawn For Trans Texans: Most Texas Anti-Trans Laws Poised to Fall After Shock Democratic Victories

With Democrats flipping the governor’s mansion, AG office, four state Supreme Court seats, and the Court of Appeals, the days an anti-trans Texas have finally come to an end.

Tonight, the American people sent a clear message — they want a politics that brings people together rather than divides them, and leaders who offer concrete solutions to the challenges they face.

not gonna worry about the future tonight, just enjoy the pissbabies getting fuckin destroyed

Boomers while destroying everything: “why aren’t the children stopping us?!”

NEW: "Donald Trump was an active participant in Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse of young women during the mid-to-late 1990s," per new House Judiciary Dem report. Report has new allegation that Trump raped a 24-year-old and then promised the victim a visa & NYU admission, demanding she stay quiet.

while you port and emulate games, I ported Jira to my PSP

Once mass spam texts were made legal, younger donors vanished, leaving a grassroots fundraising machine that subsists on squeezing vulnerable seniors, some of whom give hundreds of times a day. It’s a horrific model. Consultants get generationally wealthy, and the party hollows out its future.

Jake Grumbach@jakemgrumbach.bsky.social · 3w ago

We found that as of right now 73% of your campaign donation goes back to the consultants and vendors (!!!), four times more than just 20 years ago. Only 13% to ads. Even I was shocked.

Tilly Bridges@tillybridges.bsky.social · last yr.

right wing bigots have admitted - the “trans women in bathrooms” issue - the “trans women in sports” issue and - the “trans kids getting surgery” issue were all MADE UP TO TAKE OUR RIGHTS AWAY are you paying attention?

Remember kids, a rich bigot torturing her economic inferiors to death is fine because there's no rule against it, but if a poor mouths off at her that's worse than ten holocausts

Your Harry Potter dollars funded this.

Our new AAA blockbuster video game was actually only made by one person, the boss, because everyone else who worked on it isn't legally classified as a person for tax purposes

Star Wars: Galactic Racer was made by a core team of 75 people. "What we wanted to do was keep that core small, smaller than perhaps you might have done in the past, and scale capacity and capability with what we call distributed development." https://bit.ly/4hT02qg

One of the worst things about AI is how it's making me rethink my engagement with my own indie projects. Not "Tempted to use AI" by any stretch (I have standards and professional pride), but "I keep seeing stuff stolen from devs before their games come out" I find motivation in sharing, in (1/?)

Holy shit is this directly on point, Jesus Christ. Trans people are not your sacrificial offering, and it is genuinely disturbing that anyone has to say as much. We all rise together or we all go down together.
