I work at the pixel factory @ Rockstar Games All thoughts probably stolen from a book, but I gotta claim them as my own for legal purposes.

Hello graphics Bluesky! 🧑

I heard through the grapevine that my colleague Daniil Smoliakov is looking for new opportunities!

He's one of the most talented and tireless people I've ever seen at work so he deserves the praise 😊

Try and get him while you can! πŸƒπŸ’¨

it takes the effort of sooooooo many people to make games.
nothing comes for free.

the scale of the loss of the past few days is just staggering when I think of it like this 😒

I think one of the most beautiful things that happens when you work on a game long enough is that every feature evokes a specific person in your mind.

Hola again graphics peeps! 😊

I found myself with enough bits and pieces related to text rendering to warrant a write-up. So here it is! 😱

osor.io/text

Spiced up with direct vector rendering, sub-pixel anti-aliasing, run-time atlas packing, temporal accumulation, and more!

I hope you enjoy it! 🧑

so interesting!! this was super well made, the music was great. I wonder if the x + + operation has some deeper interpretation or if it’s really just nonsense symbolic manipulation

100% I watched it for the first time on a tiny plane screen, landed, and immediately re-watched it on a bigger screen when I got home. I wish I had seen it on IMAX!!

rewatching Apollo 11 (2019) and just awestruck by how beautiful it is. how the hell is there this much high quality 70mm archival footage from 1969?!? the quality of the cinematography, the quaint 60's vibe, the epic shots of the Saturn V; everything is next level good.
