I have had nothing but good experiences on #Mastodon so far, but the comments to this post below is genuinely the level of low why I left Twitter.
Coincidentally it's also the same kinda crap that makes it so hard for people getting into the FOSS community. Cause it's the same BS there. Extremism in ANY direction is fucking awful.

This is (despite the Twitter-level comments) incredibly cool news. I have plans deploying to the Quest and this might be incredibly helpful in doing performance trial runs. Awesome job and thanks to all the devs!

Finished up the Magnet Wheels for Marble Game. Got three different sizes (as per usual) and hooked them up to a quick and dirty test setup. Works really well if I do say so myself. :)

#Gamedev essay on Youtube:
"In that scene, your vision blurs as you see the monster to heighten tension and disorient ..."
The actual gamedev: "The monster model was so jank, we had to blur it to make the testers stop laughing."
Essay: "The color palette in this level strikes a perfect balance and the developers knew how to evoke a feeling of..."
Gamedev: "This level geo was a pain in the ass so I threw in a bunch of colored lights to distract from lightmap seams and misaligned textures."

I can't believe I am running kernel 6.9.7 already.
Part of me thinks it's all just a trick and if I rub off the paint it'll say 2.6.97.
(Unless you're a Linux user, this may not make sense. Kernel 2.6 was eternal. We all thought it would never go away and Linus would just bump the micro version number until the heat death of the universe).

See, the reason I enjoy winter so much compared to summer is how you approach temperatures:
In winter, I can put on as many layers of clothes, blankets as I like on top of putting on the central heating.
In summer... well, I can only get so naked. And using an AC just feels like doing the thing that got us here in the first place.

Just because we have not found aliens doesn't mean that they don't exist. As a result, just because we have not found space murder hornets, doesn't mean they don't exist!
EDIT: Space Murder Hornet would also be a good name for a band.
