mastodon 4.6.8
Fucking hell @lorenlepton@mastodon.social this is the good shit!
My studio monitors weren’t getting much use for the past year. I connected them to my record player and…. boah geil.
The full range on some of these LPs is *amazing*, and while I don’t think vinyl is inherently better in some way, it’s definitely true that a proper mix/master combined with a pair of speakers that can be driven fully by the mix is amazing to experience.
I 100% hear how crushed and compressed most things are in their streaming service delivery now. And the services also normalize levels a bit for predictability. Which is also totally fine. My head phones and car listening are entirely different situations.
This mirrors my new awareness of how badass HDR displays are.
@lritter@mastodon.gamedev.place are you using Slang with SDL GPU? I have been using SDL_shadercross and HLSL up until now and I recall reading that Slang had some issues with the library. But maybe it’s the past and worth reevaluating?
Ted Chiang lays it out clearly. I’m not sure I’d use all the same analogies as he has, but his points are absolutely solid.
@halcy@icosahedron.website Fugazi!
When I worked for Dreamworks we had a wrap party at the Paladium. Never saw a show there though. Probably should have.
Anybody around familiar with building rustc? I’ve got it building for qnx and it’s failing at the license scraper for my patched cc-rs. Maybe it can’t find the local path? I’ve had to point every usage in the various Cargo.tomls in the rust repo to my modified cc-rs and libc crates.
Is there a way to skip this step? I’m here trying to prove viability of something and not trying to properly submit patches and so on.
