I maintain that "neon genesis evangelion" and "revolutionary girl utena" also possess the exact same je ne sais quoi, but it has been blunted from hearing those names over and over because they're so mainstream
times change but anime names maintain the tradition of being weird af
now we have "I may be a guild receptionist but I'll solo any boss to clock out on time"
but back then we had shit like "genesis climber MOSPEADA" which makes even less sense
Screenshot showing skin with micro-occlusion at the top, and micro-shadowing below.
I finally wrapped up the second post on the series about micro-shadowing. On this one I go over a basic approach based on a microsurface, and I show results for different materials and lighting conditions.

both interesting theories. I think that whatever it is, must have to do with not having enough time to recover. I don't remember ever seeing this effect back in the heyday of winXP - and I used a lot of LCD monitors back then. But none of them were very high refresh rate, and this one is 165hz.
slightly better video (look at the darker background on the right)
(you will need to zoom in to see the effect)
SPOOKY ACTION AT A DISTANCE
resizing a window in a virtual machine leaves a ghost image across the screen. probably caused by interaction between the high-frequency pattern of the resize box and the lcd panel itself. i remember timothy lottes demonstrating something like that on the steam deck lcd.
appreciate the compliment :-)

i was internet friends with mario before it was cool
i thought surely delphi 7 wouldn't be able to compile
`array[0..Ord(SomeEnumTypeValue)+1]`, but it did.
i owe you an apology delphi i wasnt really familiar with your game.
down to the promise of a distant bright future where humanity reaches Peak ;)

very interesting talk on what it _really_ takes to make ieee floating point code "deterministic".

These events really decouple the whole "full shelves + huge variety" thing from capitalism, and it's a very dangerous game that the capital and governments are playing.
in the ussr in the 80s, stupid shit like a pair of jeans or bubble gum was considered a luxury product. normal everyday consumer products were hard to come by or expensive.
because the economy was largely not geared towards producing consumer goods.
makes you think.
the competition is not about the product quality..
it was an integer overflow btw. very nasty one because numbers look _almost_ reasonable
importing a bunch of huge assets => crash after minutes of waiting. very hard to repro. this type of bug is why debuggers are a must have. once you have it happen, you can explore all the data structures. no "let me add one more printf and repeat the whole loop again".
Why are you guys still on Twitter lol
I assign a somewhat low weight to technical opinions from him. Thekla was more than just one person, and some of those people were smarter and more technical than Jon, sometimes by a lot.
I just shoved vma into my rhi. I insist that it should be standardized 😁
very relevant point about consoles. the horrors mainly have to do with handling all the different ways things can be implemented by different hardware which is less painful on consoles I would think (modulo cross generation differences, probably)
programmer: just let me allocate memory
vulkan: *wish granted*
programmer: wait, not like that
gpu programmers be like:
"give me direct access to the hardware. im not a baby. i need precise control"
and then run away screaming when the horrors that lie beneath are revealed.
