Here’s the April videochat. I finally fixed the framerate! This went on too long, but there were several good questions. Covered a range of topics, but a whole lot was on AI this time. This is a blog post. To read the original post, please click here »

Ask questions or topics to discuss here for the next videochat with fans at 5:00pm UTC on April 22nd at twitch.tv/rossbroadcast. Still working on a bunch of stuff; the next Freeman's Mind should be out before then. Also, the pace on future FM episodes will increase a lot since it fell behind. This is a blog post.

I'm using my same method in the "make Freeman's Mind HD" in mvtools. That's because it will take an intuitive leap with motion vectors and pretty much eliminate all ghosting. Srcdemo2 can look very good, but the faster the motion, the higher the chance of ghosting. You essentially need an infinite framerate with srcdemo2 in order for that not to happen.

Here's the March videochat. Had the usual rambling. Everything is running behind unfortunately, but it's still happening, long FM episode should be next. Also, it looks like I screwed up and clipped some of the chat and didn't notice, but it's mostly there. This is a blog post. To read the original post, please click here »

Here's the February videochat. Talked about some of the usual topics that come up in these, also a chunk on AI and job implications. I updated OBS for this one, so fingers crossed that clicking sound didn't return when I did. Freeman's Mind has resumed! This is a blog post. To read the original post, please click here »

I'll be appearing on Conversations With Curtis (hosted by Paul Morgan Stetler, the lead actor from Phantasmagoria 2) on January 27th at 8pm UTC. I'm actually not 100% on what we'll be discussing, but I'm sure we'll figure something out. It will stream live on his Youtube channel below, I'll update with a direct link later: This is a blog post. To read the original post, please click here »

Here's the January videochat. I was low on sleep when I did this, though I'm not sure it made much of a difference. I also lost my voice again, but it came back, again. Covered some interesting topics, though I honestly don't remember half of what I said this time. This is a blog post. To read the original post, please click here »

Ask questions or topics to discuss here for the next videochat with fans at 6:00pm UTC on January 14th at twitch.tv/rossbroadcast. Things are going to be a little slow since the next videos I have lined up are ones that take above-average time to get made, but still working on them! This is a blog post.

I was going to, but couldn't find a good spot to add it that made it look more cluttered since I had the screaming face.

I was really close to bringing this up, but two things: 1. I'm not sure it's a guarantee the police fingerprint kids and keep them on record so much as chance (that could have changed post 9-11, not sure, but Lucas would be too old for that to be a guarantee). 2. The police can't legally use those records as evidence, however, they of course probably would and then find another excuse to find the suspect, like "an anonymous phone call" ID'ing him. Even then, I'm not sure if that would be state police that would do that or only federal. I disagree, the beginning is simply too well done. Also what little I played of Omikron looked really promising, it started off great. He obviously has a problem with not being able to cross the finish line properly, but that's not the same as being stupid or untalented. From what I saw, he needs someone with more taste who can say "this sounds great, let's do it" v. "this wouldn't work / doesn't make sense for the story we've started" that would have authority on the project, even if that's probably not something he would want.

Merry Christmas Dungeon! This episode ended up getting away from me, I meant to have it much shorter, but ended up seeing too many things I wanted to talk about. Have a good Christmas! This is a blog post. To read the original post, please click here »
