@digitaleclipse.bsky.social will be showing some of our interactive documentary games at SFMOMA on Thursday and Friday, the 12th and 13th! Requires museum admission, which I believe is discounted if you have a GDC badge.

It was too big to be called a sword. Massive, thick, heavy, and far too rough. Indeed, it was a heap of raw iron.

It’s amazing how much lifecycle and error/exception/signal handling architecture reveals itself when you approach things this way.

I adored my Surface Book 2, and I pile gladly trade in my M4 Max Macabook Pro for this if it has a 128GB RAM configuration. I wonder if the hinge will go back to ~180 degrees, or even as a tent like the Asus ProArt and Z13.

Me & my 10 year old child liked it. The audio design was stunning. We saw it in 3D with 4DX seats, and there are a couple of 3D shot where they solved some key limitations of combining 3D lenses cameras and 3D computer graphics that I’d never seen done before. The ambition across the board is great.

The ability to overlay locally-rendered content on cloud-rendered content here is very promising.

You could have a flight simulator where the cockpit is local and the external world is cloud-rendered, for example.

The future of visionOS remains bright.

I don’t think it was mentioned in the video, but the reorganization of compute across CPU, GPU, and NPU in M5 is one of the most profoundly subtle leaps forward in total end to end throughput since Zen 2. In my benchmarking of Multi-Draw Indirect in my fork of wgpu, I can double shaders per frame.

Here's what's good about forums. Someone made a thread about games with only one vowel in the title. Then someone else made a thread about games that contain every vowel. then there was a thread about games with no vowels. Now in this newest thread everyone has lost their entire minds.
