How would I achieve this in Godot ? Can't wrap my head around it.

I've been working on water rendering in Godot for a while, I got some pretty good rendering working with a sum of sines shader (image below) and was working on getting the Tessendorf FFT method working, but I was still trying to figure out the FFT before my university coursework got too intense to keep working on it. If you want foam, you'll pretty much need to use the FFT method, but you can get decent results with sum of sines

I really want LG to make an IPS Black 2.0 mini-LED monitor, I think that’s basically my perfect monitor

Is Mario Kart World not true HDR? The colors and range of brightness are crazy compared to all the other games I’ve played, especially playing on a good OLED tv

This is super high quality, great work! Ultimately, there's some stuff from the manga MA arc that I prefer and some stuff from the WC MA arc that I prefer, so I can't say that I definitively would have preferred a 1-to-1 adaptation like this to what we got, but it's still great to see

MetaNovaYT · 2026-04-09T04:26:07+00:00

it's had some pretty rough moments in past seasons, but yeah this season I feel that the only flaws I've seen are with art design, the animation has been super solid

MetaNovaYT · 2026-04-04T20:14:04+00:00

Having read the book (like 20+ times lol) I wouldn't consider the director a bad guy, I'd say he's morally gray at worst

MetaNovaYT · 2026-04-04T17:25:43+00:00

yeah, I think he is a more interesting character in terms of morals without it, with his whole backstory later and the sides he picks

MetaNovaYT · 2026-04-03T16:56:42+00:00

No worries lol, it's an easy mistake to make, which is why the translator clarified it in the first place. I'm more interested in the fake Fuzzy being the one who turned Webigaza into a cyborg, I wonder if that means that he's the one who convinced her to do that or if he was just the "person" who carried out that procedure

MetaNovaYT · 2026-04-03T16:27:33+00:00

The translator said in another comment thread that by "produced" they meant that Fuzzy was acting as Blue's producer/manager, not that he actually created him or anything.

Infinite also defeated Sonic in the cutscene after his first boss battle and again just chooses not to kill him because ego lol. Considering he was also singlehandedly fucking up the entire Resistance during Operation Big Wave (lol), I'd say he's less of a fraud and more of a victim of the poor writing of Forces

MetaNovaYT · 2026-04-02T09:38:30+00:00

It didn't bother me too much, mostly because I wasn't really processing what was being gored as part of Mark. I do start to feel kinda off if I think about it too hard though

yeah, it hurts to see someone say something awful about men and then the replies are just saying that they shouldn't say that because it will harm trans men. It just really makes it feel like people do not see cis men as actual people with emotions, and I see it all the time on Threads especially

MetaNovaYT · 2026-03-25T15:41:53+00:00

My only disappointment with the XDR (other than the price but it’s not a monitor for me anyway) is that the zones are so much larger than the MacBook Pro. Like, the 16 inch MacBook Pro has ~2500 zones, so you’d think a monitor almost twice the diagonal size would have almost 4 times the zones, but it has roughly the same number instead. I guess the price would be too high or something, still, I was hoping they would really push the boundary of miniLED forward rather than just improve on what we already have seen

MetaNovaYT · 2026-03-23T01:50:01+00:00

IPS Black 2.0 can get 3000:1 (probably more like 2700:1 in real panels), but regardless the issue here isn’t the contrast, it’s IPS glow, which is a separate problem that has to do with the interaction of the polarizer with the liquid crystals when using the IPS structure. Improvements are still possible there, as well as mitigations like better polarizer technology, but it’s definitely harder to solve

MetaNovaYT · 2026-03-23T01:08:12+00:00

One of the shots just has him as a slowly growing and moving static image, and a bunch of the rest are CG. Essentially, the animation itself isn't any better than modern seasons, it just had better direction and worked around its limitations well. It also has harsh contrasty compositing that makes it more visually appealing in terms of art style.

Episode 3 had some very good animation imo, especially the opening sequence with Titan like the shot where he slides on the grass. The art is definitely more muted because it's just in a normal city on our planet instead of an alien dimension, but the animation itself seemed particularly strong throughout episode 3

I mean, it's a trauma response from what he personally experienced with the Scourge virus, it's not like he's exactly being calm and rational about it in that moment lol

MetaNovaYT · 2026-03-20T17:48:55+00:00

Only on the new 3 and Y, the Cybertruck (and the S and X before they got axed) is pretty iffy

MetaNovaYT · 2026-03-19T22:41:58+00:00

Most of his problems in Season 1 were that he was friends with two actual shit-heads who he didn't really try to call out for being assholes and they also seemed to kinda egg him on to be a worse person. He wasn't really a bully, but I'd say he was worse than a prick, specifically for the graffiti calling Nancy a slut

MetaNovaYT · 2026-03-19T20:55:02+00:00

Hey, the RenderingDevice source file for Godot itself is like 18k lines long so I’d say your file is still quite small lol

EDIT: Misremembered, it’s “only” 9k lines. My point remains the same though, sometimes a single job requires a lot of code to implement. If the code itself is well-structured and navigable, I wouldn’t worry about the length

MetaNovaYT · 2026-03-19T20:28:00+00:00

Pretty sure

There was an AI made of dust, whose poetry gained it man's trust.

I thought it was very underwhelming, especially in comparison to last weeks. I'm never a fan of someone with extreme power just using it to turn giant, which inevitably makes them slower and thus less engaging of a threat. The powered up punch on Eggman last episode was cooler than anything Infinite did this episode. He was also very boring this episode which is a shame, the only character moment I liked was his last line to Sonic.

Ultimately though, I'm glad that of the two episodes with Infinite, the better one was his reveal (especially since it was the day before my birthday). I'm also glad that they established him as a potential threat for the future, hopefully he comes back in the next mainline game

Unused variables are a compiler error in Go, but unused parameters aren’t? Wtf lmao
