So I finally got my Valve Steam Deck today, and the first thing I had to try was Decay. This is my cyberpunk real time music video, which I made in the Godot Engine. I’m happy to report that it runs perfectly at default Quality settings, 1280×800, with all the effects on (MSAA 2x, FXAA, SSR, SSAO, DOF, and more). Surprisingly, the dual

The world is changing. Changing rapidly. The level of technology from 20 years ago, or even 10 years ago, is far in the past. It seems strange, because walking outside or sitting in your room doesn’t look materially different. But it is. We live in the future, and this is a future even science fiction writers of the past could not imagine. It
This book is going to be hard to understand, and even harder to accept, but keep reading. We’re all living in a simulation. The physical world is an illusion, and time doesn’t exist. Don’t worry, I’ll explain. Reality itself is entirely subjective, almost like a dream we are dreaming together, the only thing that is actually real is mathematics. While I will touch
So much of life is defined by binary concepts. Religion speaks of good and evil. Science explores truth and falsehood. Computers are denoted by 1’s and 0’s. We can see it everywhere, and it affects everything. This book explores the idea that these divisions may not be as clear as they appear to be, and also some ideas on how we can bridge

Godot from Zero to Proficiency is a short book that aims to get total beginners up to speed with the Godot engine. The author does not cover programming (this is saved for the second book in the series) but rather just shows how to do basic things using the editor buttons. Even though I have been using Godot for over a year, I
To be frank, I had low expectations of this book but I wanted to give it a chance anyhow. Judging from the cover, this was another self-published e-book, but it was included for free with Kindle Unlimited, so I thought I would check it out. The advice in the book is surprisingly decent, but this is really for beginners only. Like if you’ve
