@aeva@halcy that's one way to see it, but this sounds like an invitation to be different just out of spite, and that's not motivation enough.
what i prefer to think about are principles and deconstruction: why do we render it the way we do? the first thing that always matters to me is readability: does the player get a good sense of the 3d world they are in?
unable to do much more but scale what it has got, AAA even often violates that, to the detriment of fun.
@halcy@lritter@datenwolf so we're stuck instead in this loop where the art really has to match the expressive range of what the rendering engine wants to do, and relying on the people developing the engine to deliver advanced features that hopefully look better and can be marketed as a big development.
there is no chance for you (or me, this year) to go to the best part of FOSDEM, which is everything that is happening outside the talks, but to some extent the streaming is actually *better* for watching talks than being there
@halcy@lritter@datenwolf like, really think about what that means. artists are really creative people right? and each one spends a lifetime developing their own voice and style, and each one has a unique view of the world around them and something interesting to show you. AAA production pipelines (be it video games or movies or whatever) have to *suppress* that so they can ship something coherent, because it's a necessary practicality at this scale
@EnigmaRotor yes, that's interesting. It's curious how the iPhone 13 Pro Max dealt with the blurring. The right window pane, in the low-left side, is not blurred in a corner
Il mio capo: “guarda questo progetto a livello grafico puoi farlo come vuoi tu. Sei completamente libero”*Io lo faccio come voglio*Il mio capo (dopo averlo visto): “guarda fallo in questo modo come dico io”Ma allora! Scusami non dirmi che mi dai completa libertà se poi mi dici di farlo come vuoi tu 🥲
@mike @Gina well, there is a way to be there for the talkslive.fosdem.org/watch/janson (and similar links for the other rooms, you can get to them from fosdem.org/2026/schedule/ )there is no chance for you (or me, this year) to go to the best part of FOSDEM, which is everything that is happening outside the talks, but to some extent the streaming is actually *better* for watching talks than being there
@panapp"La via del tè" è il negozio dove vado ogni 3-4 mesi a fare rifornimento di tè. E "fior di zagara" è da qualche anno nella mia lista di tè che non devono mancare mai.Ho trovato i loro prodotti persino a Doha 😀Tra un'oretta sarò nella mia casetta, a tu per tu con il loro tè alla cannella...
