@gorlak Enjoy! Any plans?

@tom_forsyth Ok 2 minutes down the rabbit hole and I see it started 4 years ago as a joke 4chan played on the media, but now it’s a real thing. Wild.

[Jon Mayfield @JmayfieldCA]

@tom_forsyth Maybe they naïvely (like I did) thought it was the “ok” sign? I didn’t realize ok meant white supremacy. When did that start?

[Jon Mayfield @JmayfieldCA]

@despair FWIW I'm the creator of Zwift, the 'gamified' competitor here in the LA area (and also engine programmer back on Ratchet&Clank PSP!).

[Jon Mayfield @JmayfieldCA]

@despair It's a quality solution that is easy to buy. Couple of clicks on a website and you've got hardware delivered & setup by 2 people in a van, along with a steady stream of good content. Being in a virtual class with others suffering alongside you also matters more than you may think

[Jon Mayfield @JmayfieldCA]

@tom_forsyth That's pretty good! How many meters do you typically row? I think my last 2k was 7:40 and I was doing 30k meters for about 8 weeks to get there. Zwift has made the longer rows more tolerable.

[Jon Mayfield @JmayfieldCA]

@gorlak Congrats Geoff! Where is the studio located?

[Jon Mayfield @JmayfieldCA]

@RyanJuckett If you want to really be shocked check out “hello neighbor”. I can’t tell if all the “missing unreal script” objects in the world are on purpose or not. My son also loves that game :)

[Jon Mayfield @JmayfieldCA]

@RyanJuckett Flip side is my kid played subnautica for months and never once complained about the graphics. Don’t think he would like the game blocked by cert for things like that.

[Jon Mayfield @JmayfieldCA]

@RyanJuckett Wow, cool. What was it supposed to be a viz of?

[Jon Mayfield @JmayfieldCA]

@TDMoss Same thing happens at LAX. I literally tape the plate on when I park there now after getting a ticket a couple years ago.

[Jon Mayfield @JmayfieldCA]

@jonnyblahblah Me too. Even built a new PC so I could code in spoiled luxury. Instead ended up gaming with the kids all xmas. Going to try and salvage things tonight.

[Jon Mayfield @JmayfieldCA]

@blake_taverna @nanoleaf Its still all setup in my home, but a few other things keep coming up that are higher priority unfortunately. I haven't forgot about it! The code still works.

[Jon Mayfield @JmayfieldCA]

@NigelRichardson It's the iGrill 2. Aside from some bluetooth dropouts I found it to be pretty useful. Certainly let me get a lot done without constantly checking the meat!

[Jon Mayfield @JmayfieldCA]

Getting the weekend long run in on @GoZwift, monitoring the 12lb brisket in the smoker via bluetooth, and watching the kids play in the driveway all at the same time. Thanks technology 😎

[Jon Mayfield @JmayfieldCA]

@evert_idema As soon as my weekends arent taken up by some bug fixes I’ll work on the lights thing some more. Hoping to have it out this summer.

[Jon Mayfield @JmayfieldCA]

@TitaniumGeek @KineticTrainer @GoZwift I have a soft spot for @KineticTrainer because that was what I prototyped with for the first three years of pre-Zwift software development. One of the best fluid trainers ever made.

[Jon Mayfield @JmayfieldCA]

@gplama @GoZwift What isn't shown here is a stats heavy debug screen that allowed me to select/highlight a specific object, in this case, all the palm trees that were currently being drawn. They are flashing light blue. Everything else is color coded by detail level.

[Jon Mayfield @JmayfieldCA]

Adding graphics debugging/profiling tools to our engine and got an unexpectedly cool shot of Watopia in @GoZwift
