having been at the green company

the internal jensen worship culture is bizarre as hell

their "solution in search of a problem" mentality wrt ai, particularly features which I think make games markedly worse (framegen) is deeply disappointing

so hopefully this big dip can hopefully temper the former and bring the latter's focus back into reality

its crazy how much a new windows machine feels like malware

doubly so if its one given from corp IT and this littered with additional intentional malware

SDL3 is already in fedoras package manager, meaning my engine can use the system libs again after moving from 2 to 3 a couple months ago. This provides a nice bump in build times.

static was 2.56 secs, dynamic is 241.20 millis

certainly wasn't slow before, but <250ms is very nice

oh! TIL you can put the attribute spec before the type decl, so this can be much more natural

wrote up a nice little scratch buffer system in the engine last night, useful for things like path manipulation during asset loads and small scale, short lived data structures. backing data has a configurable number of small and large buffers.

uses clang/gcc's cleanup attribute to free its slot in the backing array of buffers when it goes out of scope.

who says we cant have our cake and eat it too :)

just plain C code with @ocornut 's awesome Dear ImGui. no dynamic allocation, cleanup handled automatically.

it wont compile on MSVC, but we are practicing self love and not entertaining hobby compilers 😌

One of the authors on SDL_GPU made a cool post about the shadercross tool they put out: can be used to convert HLSL or SPIR-V to platform specific bytecode offline as a CLI or at runtime

ux issues aside, im happy with the experience over here since cohost died.

its less active than twt was, but thats honestly for the best, I got too caught in the cycle like-fueled dopamine hits and the conversations I have and things I'm made aware of are almost always valuable, from programmers I respect a ton. no interest in something thats trying to be another twt

puzzle keys preview

sam is really going crazy with the pixel density on this game, I've had to write a smarter memory loader this time to swap things in and out more regularly 😅

putting something out into the world is mostly rad

but the odd parasocial stuff that comes from it is bizarre as hell

I don't have the emotional capacity to watch this stuff today.

I did my civic duty, yall should too. Please don't embarrass us.

dreading having to re-install a constant communication tool (slack) if I take a job

setting aside its horrible performance,

its easily the most detrimental thing for focused work I've ever seen in my career
