I am on the clock. I should fix bugs.

But there is a cat in our apartment.

We are adopting a #cat.

I don't remember if I ever tooted about our plans to adopt one here, but my partner and I have been planning to for a long time (decades - yes, we are old), taking the first concrete steps about a year ago.

Today is the day. A friend told us about an elderly cat that desparately needs a new home, and we just had to say yes.

I am so excited. And nervous.

I will, of course, share pictures once I have some.

If your project is on #UnrealEngine 5.5 and you do not plan to update it to 5.6, you might want to cherry-pick Epic's CL 40762249.

Without it, applying GameUserSettings can cause a severe RAM usage spike. In one of our our projects that spike was over 300 MiB.

It's only used for a single frame, but on platforms without swap space (e.g. consoles) this might be an issue.

#GameDev

Some people should never get access to blender and a 3D printer.

To be precise, one person should not get access to those tools.

I am that person.

#3dPrinting #blender3d #UglyItems #WhoInTheirRightMind

I got up early today (5AM) to start a 15 hour #3dPrint.

I expected it to be a simple matter of pressing the "print" button.

Now, 90 minutes later, I finally have a first layer that isn't awful.

I don't know why, but z-calibration and levelling were completely wrong.
I should have guessed that already, given that yesterday's print failed due to a fallen off support.

The remaining question: Should I go back to bed, or just stay up...
