@nprofile…v2v2 @nprofile…gjah @nprofile…npc0 one way "trusted" outputs could be achieved by forcing an LLM via structured outputs to only ever return a set of known ids. Those ids then point to real evidences/data that was verified to be trustworthy and correct. The worst thing here is that the LLM might hallucinate the wrong id but it would not make the data the id relates to less wrong.

Too many people still confuse Software Engineering with writing code. Code is the artifact. Software Engineering is understanding the problem, making tradeoffs, designing the system, reducing complexity, and deciding what shouldn't be built. No amount of 'vibe coding' can help you with this.

2026-05-03 14:04:37 GMT

Okay I think I do not understand ORM decals _at all_
I have an Albedo texture and an ORM texture and I assign ORM to "orm" and Albedo to "albedo" and then on the docs it says I should set Albedo mix to 0 but then my Albedo disappears? I want a proper "PBR material" decal, with its own metallic/roughness. What am I doing wrong?

I don't want the player to ever feel it is too scary to play the game but I want them to constantly feel a certain degree of unease but also curiosity, as the puzzles demand solving! Only perhaps at the very end I may introduce something else that is truly terrifying but I am still unsure about that.

2026-04-05 23:01:50 GMT

- reply

My idea to solve this is via environmental gameplay: the bunker is very dangerous and has some dangerous contraptions. To progress, the player has to do some genuine dangerous things to escape. However, the more the player progresses, they will learn more and more about the lore of this forsaken place and realise something else is going on here... eventually they might learn they were never alone to begin with.

2026-04-05 22:59:39 GMT

I love horror but I don't like cheap horror. It would be very easy to add a random monster to my game that chases the player and you had to hide (with safe rooms etc) however this idea gets old rather quickly. It's a cheap way to shock with only little build up. I want to create something that builds up tension constantly and keeps the player at the edge of their seat but without introducing a monster (straight away).

I want to know so much about 3D workflows. For example, ideally one should use as few materials as possible and share them between assets. At the same time, I wanna buy assets and use them. This creates a problem where I somehow need to organize my materials centrally regardless of assets. So far, I haven't found a good flow for this (Blender + Godot)

That being said, there is something meditative and intentional to write code by hand. Artisan coding is something I don't want to leave behind. Doung gamejams and working on my own rpg allows me to do that. Building something from scratch with your own hands, without using automation is a very wholesome experience in itself. AI will never be able to satisfy that. Because of the slowness it makes it worth doing. De-accelleration.

Turned out that the firmware entered an undefined power state ("latching up") and rebooting won't help.
To solve this, I switched off power and had to drain the capacitors by pressing the POWER button for like 60 seconds and power state resets.

Now, Sennheiser decided, for whatever reason to depart from that uniqueness. My hope is, that Momentum 5 will return to what made Momentum's once great.
