@JPEG The absolute time formatting was broken in a recent update (I think it was the one before the most recent). This is on a xs max.

One of the touchscreen soda machines in this firehouse isn’t working and people keep lining up at it, tapping the screen a bunch, giving up and going to the other machine, and the next person in line (having just witnessed it) tries the same thing.

me: Oh wow I can't wait for the new pokemon game; I don't know how I'm going to scratch that pokemon itch until then.

inner voice: you could go play gen 3-7 and like actually finish them this time.

Just got finished playing overwatch and I'm pretty sure there were only two groups playing in my rank.

Played against the same group all five games.

Got stomped a few of the games, but my group was talkative/positive so it was still really fun.

The Nintendo direct is about to start, but I have to go to a meeting in a few minuts 😦

Tired: boosting one of your old jokes
Wired: making an original joke
Inspired: making a bot that posts every combination of characters and boosting the ones that are jokes.

I’ve been wanting to try out #pico8, but didn’t want to spend any more money. Apparently it came with the humble bundle: voxatron that I bought eight years ago so that’s a nice surprise.

I'm playing through some snes games on retropie while I work my way through the massive amount of fosdem talks.

Currently playing final fantasy mystic quest and watching the decentralized internet talks.

Time to see what all the fuss is about.

Switching from a generated mesh per chunk to instanced rendering for each of the 6 faces per chunk worked to reduce memory usage on my minecraft clone!

The quick math of 9.3GB down to 300MB I did before starting was actually a little conservative.
It turned out to actually go down to ~240MB for 16*20*20 chunks.
Also, now that the data for each face is just a u32 the amount of uncovered faces doesn't affect the memory usage by a crazy amount (235MB in best case, 297MB in worst case).

This tool is amazing.
I just cross compiled my Minecraft clone on 64bit Linux for windows and arm7 Linux with no issues.
I ran the exe in windows and it ran even better than the native Linux version (probably due to better gpu drivers).

I really want to get the resident evil 2 remake, but I still have games that I bought recently and either haven't even started or only played a few hours.

It's not even like they're bad games. They're amazing (spiderman, persona 5, smash bros ultimate), but I can't seem to finish games anymore.

For example, I played through most of breath of the wild and all that's left to do in the main story is walk in the castle and smack gannon around, but I still haven't done it almost two years later.

@Gargron did the mastodon:media:clear command get removed/renamed?
I'm trying to use it on my docker instance and rake is saying it doesn't know how to compile the task.

It made me think of the cover blocks mod.
I though that it would be nice to have that, but that I'd need to figure out which texture each face should use when generating a mesh instead of just grabbing from a static block definition.
Then it clicked how I can use instanced rendering.

I wouldn't have the instancing be a block model, but one for each face.
The instance data could just be position, light, and texture offset combined in one u32.
If this works It will reduce memory usage by 31x!

I'm so happy right now.
I've been working on a minecraft clone for a bit now and the meshes it generates take up too much memory.

I looked into instanced rendering as a way to reduce the memory usage, but couldn't wrap my mind around how instance data would map to each block (specifically texture coords since blocks can have a different textures per side).

I was watching a minecraft stream while I doing work and the player was holding a block with each side randomly changing every second.

me noticing someone TPed a neighbor: meh
me noticing it’s the really good stuff: you animals...

I've been watching mad men and I'm on the final season.
They just got a new ibm computer installed and one of the employees started going crazy thinking the machine is taking over.
After a few episodes of downward spiraling he just showed up and said he's fine now he found a release. Then gives his boss a box and in it was his nipple!
"It's weird, they'll sew it up, but they won't take it off; I had to do that myself." Then he calmly buttons his shirt up.
