The video features a charming interaction between a light orange and white cat and a light brown dog, set in a cozy indoor environment. The cat, standing on its hind legs, engages playfully with the dog, who is lying down and facing the cat. The cat's front paws are raised, and it appears to be gently pawing at the dog's face, while the dog responds with a calm demeanor, occasionally nuzzling the cat's paw. The background includes a window with a view of greenery and buildings, a pink stuffed toy, and a white cushion, adding to the warm and inviting atmosphere.

Throughout the video, the text '达咩' (Damao) appears in red at the top of the frames, likely serving as a playful or affectionate name for the cat. The interaction is gentle and affectionate, with the cat and dog maintaining a close and friendly relationship. The video concludes with the cat and dog still engaged in their playful interaction, highlighting their bond and the serene, domestic setting.

Think I've managed to hack together an outline shader that doesn't overdarken large flat areas parallel to the camera ✨

It's not perfect, but defenitely better than what I had before

Screenspace outlines from depth/normals are definitely one of those "no, this is actually really hard" problems no one thinks about until they try. That looks pretty good!
in reply to ataylor

I spent _so long_ working on the outline tech for Rift Rally. I think we eventually threw a dedicated TAA pass at it to cheat.
in reply to ataylor

Yeah, just an hour ago I was really close to "fuck it, just throw FXAA on top and it'll be fine"
in reply to Nikita Lisitsa

The irony is we had really nice antialiasing of the line itself because they were generated as an SDF. But the features that generate them weren't stable enough, so...

It's crazy to me that no one can cite a single example of intellectual property law protecting an artist, but it's still spread around that it does.

Nice quote from an article on education in #Romania that quotes interesting studies, describes factually some dyanamics, but is puzzling and problematic in its logic and, most of all, conclusions.

Vous vous rendez compte que là je vais aller me coucher pour aller travailler demain alors que je pourrais passer la nuit sur ce sympathique (enfin selon moi) dessin d’Hollow Knight destiné à un collègue ? Je dis pas ça pour vous convaincre d’abolir le travail pour me permettre de le finir plus vite mais c’est une idée hein je pose juste ça là comme on dit

J’ai pas pensé à prendre une photo avant d’offrir le dessin terminé donc la seule que j’ai pour vous le montrer c’est celle où l’aquarelle est encore scotchée sur mon carnet. J’espère qu’elle vous plaira malgré tout car ça a été très intéressant à réaliser !

"Across the country, libraries are using culinary programs to evolve beyond traditional book-lending, adapt to users’ needs, and reshape themselves into contemporary centers of community. Events have generally centered on cookbook or food memoir discussions, perhaps sharing dishes connected to the title, but libraries are increasingly expanding this concept."

Margaret Atwood claps back to having The Handmaid’s Tale banned from Alberta schools by the UCP.

in reply to Chad

The image is a screenshot of a tweet from Margaret E. Atwood's verified account on X.com. The tweet is a satirical piece of literature, humorously titled "The Handmaid's Tale," intended for seventeen-year-olds in Alberta schools. It contrasts the fictional characters John and Mary with those in Atwood's "The Handmaid's Tale," highlighting their virtuous behavior and the Minister of Education's perceived oversight. The tweet humorously criticizes the Minister's view of teenagers, suggesting they are "stupid babies." It also pokes fun at the characters' religious beliefs and capitalist practices, referencing Ayn Rand and "The Fountainhead." The tweet concludes with a reference to Danielle Smith's situation, adding a layer of satire. The tweet has garnered 56K views and was posted at 12:22 PM on August 31, 2025.

Americans would shrug if the government decreed that every car must cost $4 million, but Americans would lose their minds if Ford started selling cars for $4 million.



When exploring RPG mechanics and playstyles, two concepts frequently come to mind: immersion and authoring. These approaches are central to how we experience and create stories, yet they lead to profoundly different player experiences.
