I got a wireless #headset as a present: #stellseries ARCTIS NOVA PRO WIRELESS. TLDR; really good headset, but mic quality is mediocre.
Headset has a base station, and you can charge a battery in it. The headset comes with two batteries, so you never going to be out of juice. While you are using one battery, the other one is charging in the base station.
Base stations have a volume knob and you can also do EQ, enable/disable noise cancellation, mic volume, all of this things also you can do from the headphones.
The range is good, I can go downstairs to the kitchen with no problems. It is on radio, and also has a Bluetooth option.
Quite comfortable, I used them yesterday for the whole day.
The sound quality is acceptable. I am not picky though. I think I am not.
The dual battery solution is genius. Plus, battery life is really good.
The mic is retractable, which is convenient, because more often you use the headset as only headphones.
Headset has a mute button, very easy to find, plus the mic has red LED, then mic is muted. You can monitor your voice and the volume adjustable, and you can disable monitoring. Unfortunately, monitoring volume is independent of the master volume and far away in the settings.
I am really really sad about the mic quality. Why not invest a little bit to make the mic quality better? Make headsets $50 more expensive, but give better mic quality. Why?! I just do not understand. #smh The mic has a huge DC offset, and it eats all low frequencies.
Very nice present, also expensive.

I wasted almost one week on the bug, just because I put 0x7E in the code instead 0xFE. I had a severe case of dyslexia I guess, I cannot explain.

Yesterday, #Ordy #UnrealEngine #UE5 I shaved about 10-20 seconds off the compilation time of my Ordy game. I found that the default build script tries to build Unreal Engine every time I try to build Ordy. So I removed this part. If I need to rebuild Unreal Engine I’ll do it manually. Thank you for trying to be helpful, but no plz don’t rebuild Unreal Engine.

The Khronos Group’s initial API designs for OpenGL were pretty good in my opinion, taking into account the time when they were released. Current efforts are not that much (let’s say it like this). I think the major issue is that they are targeting professional developers, but the truth is I am forever an amateur, at least I feel like this. I like to have good defaults and short, elegant solutions. When you are designing your API, if your API requires a lot of boilerplate code, go back to the drawing board. Honestly. Get good defaults, and allow users to tweak defaults.
More options on Alt-Tab for KDE Plasma Task Switcher sudo apt-get install kwin-addons Thumbnail Grid looks like the old and trusty Win 10 Alt-Tabber
There is an interesting opensource product https://www.materialmaker.org/. It is can be an open source substitute for the substance painter. I need to take a closer look to get my opinion on it, tho.
Yesterday, I watched a movie with Audio Description enabled. I really liked the experience. Audio Description is an added audio track with the voice describing what is happening in the scene. It is made for visually impaired people. But I think from now on, I’ll watch all movies with AD enabled. I think AD adds a lot to the experience.

It is evening and tomorrow is Halloween. #creepypasta #aipasta #gpt3 You have planned to go out trick or treating with your friends, but you have a sneaking suspicion that something is following you. Every time you look over your shoulder, you see a dark figure lurking in the shadows, watching you…
You try to ignore it, telling yourself that it’s just your imagination playing tricks on you, but the more you try to focus on other things, the more prominent the figure becomes in your mind. Eventually, you can’t take it anymore and you turn around to confront whatever is following you.
To your horror, you see a pale-faced creature with black eyes staring back at you. It’s mouth is opened wide in a silent scream and its arms are outstretched as if it’s trying to grab hold of you.
You start to back away slowly, but the creature starts to move closer and closer until it’s right in front of you. It reaches out and grabs hold of your arm tightly, digging its nails into your skin. You cry out in pain and terror as the creature drags you into the darkness…

Today’s progress: working on the title screen, load screen, and settings screen.
#dalle2 #ordy
I generated temp title screen art using dalle2
#digitalocean
Hopefully they will fix it soon. I am piggybacking images from Twitter.

I made a base female mesh in the hope that it will help me create female characters faster for my game/games.
I think I am done with save/load #ordy
I woke up in the morning #AIPasta and saw my little sister playing with my old dolls. I asked her what she was doing and she said she was playing with my old dolls. I told her to put them away and she said she would. But I could tell she was lying.
The next day, I woke up and saw my sister playing with my dolls again. I started to feel like something wasn’t right. My sister seemed possessive of my old dolls and it creeped me out. I began to suspect that she was using them to spy on me or something. I started watching her more closely and sure enough, I found her secretly recording me with one of the dolls' cameras!
TikTok is changing I’ve noticed a lot of TikToks that have an advertisement vibe. My first reaction is to swipe up, but I like to check the corner to make sure it’s an ad. Some of TikToks are literally advertisements, but without the “sponsored” mark. I wonder if the advertisers have learned how to make viral TikToks so they don’t have to pay money to TikTok.
Today’s progress #Ordy: Save/load: bicycle, carrot, floor lamp, and light switch. It is close, I hope tomorrow everything would be in the proper order. Tomorrow. Tomorrow………. Tomorrow.
So I ran some tests, and my initial assumption that there would be 100 dependent headers per source file appeared to be completely wrong. It is actually around 3K files per source file. 😱
In Soviet Russia, AI trains you 😂
Today’s progress: Save/Load clutter objects: chairs and boxes #Ordy
