If like me you enjoy messing around with Vulkan, I’m sure you’ll be familiar with Renderdoc, the awesomest open-source graphics debugger ever. RenderDoc is a vital tool in sorting out most weird graphical errors that you’ll encounter in your graphics development adventures (it sure is for me), however on Linux things are a bit… homespun.… Continue reading installing renderdoc on linux: the road to happiness

more from the snowstorm in hell
So yesterday, I got excited at the notion of DirectX 12 on Linux and well… now that there’s been a bit of time and discussion of this in kernel maintainer discussion threads, it’s not quite what I thought.

and finally, a snow storm broke out in hell today…
So for a large chunk of my life, I didn’t like using Microsoft products. Why? Well, a youth of Visual Basic 6 high school computing assignments for one. VB6 has made more money than God, but on the other hand it epitomised for my everything I disliked about Microsoft: it was slow, locked down to… Continue reading and finally, a snow storm broke out in hell today…

One of the helpful things that happened was that my Vulkan SDK I downloaded from… Continue reading vulkan ubuntu 18.04 upgrade problems: the road to happiness

pong lives forever!
So, I’ve gotten out of my whining-about-politics rut to do something entirely new and original on this blog… well, once I get finished on my coding revamp not new and original at all as I intend to do it a lot more often.
