- I've released my Nioh 3 camera tools! Camera control, pause, hud toggle, hotsampling, any resolution/aspect ratio support, weather control, fog control and more! patreon.com/Otis_Inf
- Dragon Age: The Veilguard (PC, own camera tools, Reshade)
- That's great, but let's be honest: this doesn't do anything. It shows they support a good cause, which is great of course, but to get things changed, you need way more than this. Look at the protests in Hong Kong, in Iran: it takes a lot of persistence and actual actions to make real changes.
- Celebrities on the Grammy Awards red carpet are wearing pins protesting the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement presence in cities. Justin Vernon of Bon Iver said he wore a whistle to honor the legal observers who are documenting federal agents’ actions on the streets. bit.ly/4kelqau
- And before someone tells me "But in Iran and Hong Kong they failed!" YES, that's the point. 1000s of people arrested / died and the regimes are still there. The USA government won't change their ways because some people disagree, they really don't care.
- Always nice when you finally found out where that massive table of engine configuration data is located and what each parameter is called. In Nioh 3 I can now make it snow, rain, raise temperature etc. They have like 25 parameters for rain drops alone, it's bonkers.

- Btw Nioh 3 doesn't have a resolution that lets it run natively full screen on my monitor (3840x1600). All resolutions are blurry as they're too small. It took me an hour with only assembly and no source code to fix it. Team Ninja, sorry, but do better. Asking 80 euros for a port like this is bad.
- "So what did you do this afternoon?" "Oh you know, the usual, making a game behave like it's 2026 and wide screen/custom aspect ratios/resolutions are the norm"
- LLM based 'AI' tools have to die in a sea of fire. This post in /r/ExperiencedDevs was so spot on I had to share it here. I'm so done with these shit tools ruining my craft. I wish all the users of these tools a long life of fixing the technical debt created by these tools.
