how a graphics pipeline works

vertex data is received from a vertex buffer. this contains positions, but can contain additional info like colors and texture coordinate maps

next, the vertex data is transformed by a vertex shader. this is usually responsible for translating positions into world space and projection space. your computer monitor is a 2d space so obviously 3d data has to be transformed to project into 2d space.

the data is sent to a fragment shader, also known as a pixel shader..

Scary cool art

"An old man once told me, 'Better to do it, than to live with the fear of it'" is objectively true because I have listened to the audio book of The Blade Itself

Fun little trick you can do to seem interesting: Listen to audiobooks narrated by old men and then take whatever weird saying the author used and pretend it's received wisdom

now thats just bullying

@kaerhon @ZeldAurore par exemple, quand on parle 720p et 1080i : cékoi ces lettres ?
Bah il était une fois l'écran cathodique (o o f). Quand on établit les standards de diffusion, on décide qu'il faut enchaîner 25 images par secondes pour reproduire le mouvement sans saccade. C'est ce qu'on appelle le Progressif. Donc chaque image "dure" x ms, pendant lesquels le canon à électron bombarde pixel par pixel des éléments phosphorescents pour afficher l'image. Sauf que... Quand le canon arrive en bas de l'image, les pixels du haut ont été excités il y a "longtemps", et ont perdu en intensité lumineuse. Concrètement ça donne une impression de scintillement pour le public, et c'est pas cool. 1/2

my copy of Lindsay Ellis's book arrived I can't wait to put it on my desk and forget about it for eight years before I open it

Avatar spends a lot more time ruminating on what it is to change, to grow as a person.

While Steven Universe likes answering to the question of “can everyone be redeemed?”, Avatar is more interested in asking the question, and then asking follow-ups.

Granted both shows have different formats and audiences, and obviously I like both a lot. Halfway through the final season of ATLA.

Okay so throughout my watchthrough I’ve been comparing Avatar to Steven Universe a lot, because I don’t watch a lot of cartoons generally but I know SU pretty well. And I think they have a lot in common; specifically, both shows ask the question “can people change or are some people irredeemable?” That’s a really cool theme, and they approach it differently!

big fan of radical left-wing ideologies like "compassion" and "treating people with respect"

What a gem of a post. So many thoughts, so many stories, so many conversations possible.
