  • Since we’re talking about Apple, there’s an upcoming library and spec called WebGPU that, contrary to it’s name, is a higher level cross platform graphics library. It’s an interesting idea, write once and depending on your platform, it would use the corresponding platform’s preferred backend (e.g. Direct3D on Windows, Metal on Macs, etc). It’s supposed to be promising and provide a easy way for any existing dev to hop in until they had to give up on SPIR-V support and come with a Metal-like shading language just to appease Apple so that they would support it due to Apple’s existing legal disagreements with Khronos.

    And from what I’ve seen from WGSL, it’s nowhere as nice as GLSL and HLSL.

    So yea, if you need any more evidence of Apple’s shitty attitude in the space.






  • Haven’t been following this season as tightly, wanted to watch a few more but was only able to make time for:

    • Food for the Soul: Only about half way through but it’s such a fun watch, the interactions between the girls are hilarious and I enjoyed it a lot more than I expected. PA Works continues to surprise me.
    • Shiunji Family Children: Started watching this with friends as a drinking game and damn, alcohol can’t save this. Still, it’s pretty crazy how well animated this is despite how trashy the story can be. Though not gonna lie, there was a part regarding foster parents which I was pleasantly surprised they decide to delve into but I can’t say much more than it was somewhat cool.

    Can’t wait for CITY next season though! Just did a rewatch of Nichijou to prepare for it and I keep forgetting how much this show brightens my day.
