You know, I rag on Unity a lot. They've made a lot of mistakes. Deprecating features while the replacement isn't ready. Creating multiple new implementations of features from scratch instead of improving what's there. Abandoning their own features in favour of acquiring community made versions, and then abandoning them. Splitting the whole render system into … Continue reading Unity 2022

3D Printer
I got a 3D printer. I never saw the point before.. because from what I've seen people mainly use them to print little figurines and whistles off.. and while that's cool.. I always think you might as well just buy them from Amazon.. it's cheaper and easier. I printed a whistle I always liked making … Continue reading 3D Printer
Rip Foszor
You might remember Foszor from the GMod community a while back. Like, 13 years back or something. His game Zinger came second in the fretta game contest we did in about 2010. I was really sad to hear that he'd passed away a couple of months ago. I was even sadder to read that he … Continue reading Rip Foszor
My Tesla Is Fixed
Quick follow up to My Tesla Broke. It's now fixed and back at home, so about a month and a half in the end. They changed the HV and the 12v battery. Spotify A funny thing is that I knew they had started fixing it. My spotify kept stopping, and when I looked into it, … Continue reading My Tesla Is Fixed
My Tesla Broke
I've had my Model 3 for less than 6 months, and I've put about 500 miles on it. When I came off holiday I got in it at the airport and it had a buttload of errors.. I googled the errors and the common theme seemed to be the whole battery pack replaced.. not something … Continue reading My Tesla Broke
What sucks about Steam
Having used Steam nearly every day for 19 years, both as a developer and a gamer, there are a few things that annoy me. These things have become more apparent since I've had kids and other game launchers have come out. Friend Requests I'm sure normal people don't have this problem, but people add me … Continue reading What sucks about Steam
Making A Game 2022
Game Idea Every game starts with an idea. The best game idea is the one that's popular right now. Get a list of games up, order by the number of concurrent players and make a game like that first one. Yes, that game was made by 500 people, over the course of 6 years, but … Continue reading Making A Game 2022
InteropGen
A big part of s&box is calling c++ from c#, and calling c# from c++. So while that's easy enough to do manually for a few functions, using DllImport and all that noise, it's not really that feasible with the amount of stuff we want to bind. Plus there's downsides to DllImport. The automatic marshalling … Continue reading InteropGen
Frozen Shoulder
I've had a frozen shoulder for about a year. For the longest time I was unable to lift my arm higher than shoulder height. I couldn't put my coat on properly because I couldn't bend my arm backwards enough to get it in the arm hole. Worst of it all is that I did this … Continue reading Frozen Shoulder
Shitty Holiday Photos
