Just finished watching #thegameawards2023 . And seeing a man in full plate armour almost cry was not on my bingo card but it is entirely my fault. BG3 deserved it for sure.
But this year felt a bit rushed, I think they could have gone for another hour, and let the guest and speakers go on for a bit longer. Have some standup bits, more geek stuff! Celebrate how (in theory) everyone in that room loves video games.

if you want to make a bevel soft, marking its edges soft will cause dome-like shading on the top face (bad)

one fix is to add extra edge loops, but this adds triangles (also bad)

so, I've now added a way to weight half-edges, to prioritize certain faces, with no extra geo! c: 🎉

1. select the half-edges you want to edit
2. select weighted normals
3. adjust

1.0 = full priority, ignores neighbors
0.5 = equal priority, regular smooth shading
0.0 = no priority, neighbors fully control the normal

Currently watching @acegikmo speaking at Dutch Game Day. Super interesting, nice to see such a technical talk at a smaller industry event.

Just a reminder for mod makers. It seems like many are forgetting that Forge Energy is essentially a PUSH system. That means that generators and batteries PUSH energy to adjacent blocks. Cables or blocks should never extract energy from something!

the market for network-controllable power strips is weird
it's two things:
1. 50$ devices intended for use in the home. 3 plugs, connects to some cloud service, shiny and available on amazon
2. 300$ devices with 8 ports and you can talk to it over RS232 and 10/100 ethernet and the web stack fits on a 64kb eeprom and it's only purchasable on a website that was last updated in 2008

Fun tip of the day: Most syntax highlighters as well as prettier understand other web languages as template tags. You don’t need to install any packages, simply alias `String.raw`, the default (implicit) tag!

Both files were identical and then processed by prettier.

Charles Martinet is stepping down as the voice of Mario, thank you for all the games!

Charles Martinet has been the original voice of Mario in Nintendo games for a long time, as far back as Super Mario 64. Charles is now moving into the brand-new role of Mario Ambassador. With this transition, he will be stepping back from recording character voices for our games, but he'll continue to travel the world sharing the joy of Mario and interacting with you all!

It has been an honor working with Charles to help bring Mario to life for so many years and we want to thank and celebrate him. Please keep an eye out for a special video message from Shigeru Miyamoto and Charles himself, which we will post at a future date.

Just think, there are professional programmers these days, even ones using C/C++, who don't have to know what a calling convention even is!

Think of them, and envy them.

Wanted to see this for myself. Can confirm that the very orange parts of tiles in Rosenthaler Platz station are quite spicy.

Me: MS Teams channels cannot contain MS-DOS device names?? Good lord

Friend: No this makes sense, it's a chain of dependencies. Every teams channel is a SharePoint folder

"usb is standard" but also this! I wonder when they'll come up with a new shape and make C obsolete too
