Massive performance improvement. This is a bit more of... technical post, but man do I love this stuff! Units navigate the map using a 'Navigation Mesh'. Before, I was using one giant nav mesh that spanned the entire map. The more objects that were placed (especially on a large map such as this 'RadarAttack' map designed by Syphotic | Steel Command), the larger the 'lag' would be after placement. You can see here that there is a massive frame drop and the navmesh doesnt update for almost 5 seconds. Now, there are a ton of tiny navmeshes that connect to one another, and together they cover the whole map. Now, when an object is placed, the navmesh will update instantly, because it no longer needs to parse through every object on the map (potentially thousands!!!). It only needs to parse through the objects that exist in the mini navmesh that the object was placed in (probably only 1-5 objects now!). Performance XP Boost +100!

I designed the grid in such a way that... it can also be placed on only a part of the mapshow more

You no longer have to place docks as individual... objects. There is now a path for this. Of course you can still use the object. #godotengine #indiegame #gamedevshow more

okay the massive chair is gone but there's a... second massive object thats casting a shadow on britechester that i literally cant see outside of the world map omfg?? 😭😭😭😭😭show more

🇯🇴 BREAKING: Jordan just got hit hard. Not a... warning. Not a near miss. Hit. The empire's allies are falling one by one. Bahrain. Qatar. UAE. Saudi. Now Jordan. Iran said nowhere was off limits. They meant it. Every country that hosted US bases. Every nation that stayed silent. Every flag that flew next to the empire. Now they're all on the map. And the map is burning.show more

Before time began, there was the cube. And before... Twitter became X, there was an idea. 10 people coming together and making one big varied custom map. I let them down for over 2 years but now it is done: Custom Map X. It will release 24h from now on (on the Steam Workshop)!show more

The people dunking on SPECS aren't wrong - the... world's best social computer is being sold as a personal one you use alone in your room I always imagined walking around my city stumbling onto photos and art other people left behind. the invisible world we never get to see made visible in the places it matters most I realized that experience wasn't going to be there day one so over the weekend I built the map and bought a pair of SPECS to explore it this Fall Put yourself on the map today:show more

This is just a reference collection of smaller shots.... One thing to notice with video reference is that it’s just a road map. A lot of things can change as you dive deeper into the shot when it comes to performance.show more

The architecture of this new world model is one... of the most interesting things I've seen lately: Let me first explain how most world models work: They predict and render one frame at a time. If you are navigating in one of these worlds, and you look left, the model draws whatever looks right in the moment. Every time you change your viewpoint, the model has to imagine what should be there again, so it's very common for these models to "forget" what's in the world. For example, if you put a toy on the table, look away, then look back, the toy might not be there anymore. Tripo AI is releasing its Project Eden model, which works very differently: The model builds the world first, and then renders it based on that map. That map holds the real state of the world: the geometry, every object, where things are, what's already happened. The picture you see on screen gets generated from the map. This architecture flips the whole thing. Now, you get the following: 1. The world stops forgetting. Leave, come back, and the toy is still on the table because it lives in the map, not in the last frame you saw. 2. You can edit the world, and those changes persist for anyone who enters later. 3. Multiple people and AI agents can coexist in the world and see it from different perspectives. This is early research, but it's looking really promising. They just raised nearly $200M across two rounds to build it out. Tripo will be at SIGGRAPH 2026 (July 19–23, Los Angeles Convention Center). If you work in 3D, embodied AI, simulation, or anything spatial, go connect with them there.show more

Next week Pogostuck will have its 6th anniversary. Today,... to celebrate, I am releasing a small new Map 1 mode (which is a separate map for technical reasons) that is Micro Map 1. 🤏 It will have a no-boost mode with leaderboards, too, just for the heck of it. Have fun gaming!show more

I havent seen anyone post about it but one... thing that stood out to me the most from the MW4 briefing is how sick the Tactical Nuke animation is. Tactical Nuke is back but the animation is completely different. You call it in a small phone and then a buckle into a skyhook a plane grabs right before the nuke drops and you look back at the map getting nuked. You also flip the map off as you fly away Its one of the sickest things I saw. The video below is an example from MW3 of what i mean.show more

🚨 WARNING: MONDAY WILL BE THE WORST DAY OF... 2026!! Trump just OFFICIALLY confirmed that the US will invade Cuba IMMEDIATELY after finishing with Iran. Should I remind you what happened to the markets when the US started strikes on Iran? When markets start pricing that reality, this will NOT be just another headline. This is a geopolitical catalyst hitting an already fragile system. Stocks will dump. Crypto will dump. Risk will get hit all at once. This is no longer just about Iran. It is about expansion. And now the pressure just multiplied. Because when one conflict is still burning and the next target is already being named, markets stop pricing de-escalation. They start pricing EXPANSION. And expansion is where the real damage starts. That one fact explains a lot. This is NOT just a Cuba story. This is about the war map getting bigger, not smaller. There are only a few ways this goes from here, and they are NOT equal. - LIGHT SHOCK: it stays at the headline level, markets panic first, then stabilize if nothing follows. - HEAVIER SCENARIO: Cuba starts getting priced as the next pressure point, and regional risk starts spreading. - WORST CASE: markets start pricing a second front after Iran, and the whole risk picture changes again. That last one is the REAL danger. Because if Iran was phase one, Cuba becomes phase two. Now connect the dots. This does NOT stay political. It hits flows. It hits freight. It hits regional risk. It hits every market that was hoping Iran was the end of the story. That is why this matters so much. Because once markets stop pricing closure and start pricing expansion, the whole framework changes. Not a dip. Not a fake panic. A REAL warning that the geopolitical map is getting bigger again. I’ve studied macro for 10 years and I called almost every major market top, including the October BTC ATH. Follow and turn notifications on. I’ll post the warning BEFORE it hits the headlines.show more

Gravity is a lie that was created to convince... you that you're stuck to a spinning waterball, flying millions of miles per hour through an empty void of nothingness. If an object is more dense than the surrounding medium, it moves down. If an object is less dense than the surrounding medium, it moves up. If the object and the medium are in equilibrium, then it remains static. The downward direction that density-dominant objects move toward is dictated by the electromagnetic torus field of the Earth. That is literally it. Everything you need to know about why things move up and down. You can go ahead and throw away your mossad fake science textbook now, to save yourself the lost IQ points and "space" fantasy stories.show more
