Dang dude, you're old! Time to update the ol' avatar. Try this on for size.

Bambams and I have been here almost exactly the same amount of time. We're one member number apart. That's why we're destined to be mortal enemies.

...

How come no ones plays my game.

What's a game?

I'm willing to believe that.

Both. I lost access to my old account so this is the best I could manage.

Any of you worked on anything cool lately?

Katko! I knew you had health problems, but I didn't know you couldn't eat!

Yay, I can login again. Geez. This is getting ridiculous. Matthew, this site needs more active members to maintain it. It is getting ridiculous.

In addition to buying a house, my wife and I just got a puppy. I do not recommend either.

The house is falling apart more and more every day. We notice more and more blemishes each day that we didn't notice when we did our initial walk-throughs and decision making or even after living in it for 2 months.

The puppy is a goddamn nightmare. Doesn't let you sleep. Regularly urinates indoors, despite efforts to control water intake and schedule routine visits outside. He is getting more and more bold with each day. It's a "Golden Rottie" AKA a Golden Retriever mixed with a Rottweiler. Though its colours are more close to a Golden right now, it is reminding me more and more of a Rottweiler instead. Anyway, it's a lot of goddamn work and stress, and I don't recommend it. Seriously. If kids are worse than this I don't know how every father ever didn't shoot themselves in the face.

I also changed jobs. I don't want to jinx it, but so far so good.

Puppies can't hold their bladder any better than toddlers can. Make sure you have reasonable expectations.

Only use positive reinforcement with the exception of obvious stuff like growling, biting, stealing food. Instead of scolding a dog when it pees, give it praise when it goes outside.

Quick question: why are frame-buffer textures upside-down in OpenGL? I'm working with WebGL 2, and when I draw a texture to a quad on the screen it draws perfectly fine. However, once I draw that same texture to a frame-buffer and then draw the frame-buffer's texture to the screen, it comes out upside-down. Is this by design? If so, why? I know I can apply a simple scale and translation to fix it, but why is it like this by default?

Maybe I can just edit the texture coordinates such that they'll always draw upside-down, with or without a frame-buffer. Then at least it'll be consistent. Then I could just flip it with some sweet, sweet matrix math.

Because X,Y,Z arbitrary and by convention, so different people choose different conventions.

OpenGL is uses right-handed.

DirectX is uses left-handed.

That's for Z.

Likewise, because OpenGL was a CAD graphics framework, they had "up" be up. Whereas oldschool gamer bros think of it in terms of rasterscanning from top-left to bottom right.

yeah, dude, that's what you said last month....
