*Banana Dither Smudge Brush Action* in my pixel art app Dottie. Coming this fall for macOS (12 and up right now, we’ll see). Get in touch for TestFlight if you’re interested, low pressure involvement—you can send me feedback or some pixel art drawn with it.
A programming trick I use *all the time* is to quickly undo and then redo to teleport back to where I was last typing. I haven't seen anyone else talk about this, but I can't be the only one, right?

Fading out audio is one of the most CPU-intensive tasks you can possibly do! Values that get close (but not quite) zero, hit an underflow gap known as "Subnormal" range. It’s a mathematical conundrum so tricky, both x86 and ARM made special CPU instructions just to handle it!
I recently switched from the Discord native app to the web app because it launches so much faster – thanks to not doing ~11 delta updates every launch! Why doesn't Discord switch to a full update if delta updates will take longer? Why can't it update itself at close instead of…

I've shown this collision a while ago, but now I've made it pretty efficient on PS1. I use grid partitioning to check quads/tris close to the player - this reduces the number of collision checks considerably. In the debug view in the video, those polys are shown in yellow.
It's almost that time again! If you haven't played it yet, this is the best way to experience Boku no Natsuyasumi 2.
If you haven't yet played the Boku no Natsuyasumi 2 English patch, consider starting your playthrough on August 1st. I recommend playing an in-game day every day so your playthrough syncs up with the real calendar. You won't regret it.

For an upcoming blogpost, I'm tracing this embroidery pattern from the 1913 book 'le filet ancien au point de reprise II' by using @cleanshot to create a locked transparent overlay on top of Dottie (pixel editor in beta, by @gingerbeardman ). felt very y2k art class
