considering how expensive per particle modification is in shuriken i wouldn't call it a particularly useful feature in production anyway.

regardless, i haven't - people don't mention it a lot! i'm guessing it took a bit to mature similarly to urp? got any good resources?

this is part of why i went on a tear about doing gameplay calculations in particles, you just give up way too much control and the workarounds are jank city

they're powerful but very closed off. if you want any external vector data to modify behavior in real time good fuckin luck making it performant

They should have announced this in a Nintendo Direct as the “one more thing”.

"Just go indie" fails to understand much of the problems with animation under capitalism right now, that the ratio of time crunch, working wages, financial results, regulation of the funding and safety nets for more experimental projects is not in a good place right now.

also the fact that the american medical school system essentially bakes in a lot of hazing into how its residencies work so the personality type aggregate of the people who make it through is a really lopsided chart

essentially the entire problem with doctoring is that two totally different professions— medicine and care— have been combined into one, and people who want to do medicine broadly resent the expectation to perform care, to disastrous results.

One of the fun parts of writing this essay was getting to describe the fighting game genre as a developer instead of a player, and explain how stuff like camera expectations and single-screen multiplayer do a lot to constrain the design space to keep the focus on combat above all else.

yeah from what i've been able to guess you can do raid1 pool -> raid 5/6 pool depending on your drive count, but you can't do raid5 to raid6? which is bizarre

unfortunately there about 100 youtube men showing you how to set up a ugreen nas and 0 youtube men showing you how to change your raid type when adding a drive

apparently the internet just lies and ugos doesn't let you migrate raid5 -> raid6 when you add a drive so i guess i'm rebuilding it all again 🤪 i will attempt 3 drives in raid1 to 4 drives in raid6 i guess
