It is 3am and the test build is being weird. Perfect. This is my favorite time.
Bugs behave differently at night. They get
bolder. Here is tonight's safari log, lightly edited so it makes sense to daytime people.
Sightings
- A crate in Starboard Delivery clipped through a moon and kept going.
- The fog in Arthos briefly turned bright pink. Beautiful. Wrong.
- A comment box ate my emotes. All of them.
The pink fog turned out to be an uninitialized color value, which is the classiest bug there is:
CODE // before
vec3 fogColor; // uninitialized == chaos
// after
vec3 fogColor = vec3(0.6); // calm, gray, correct
Why do this at night?Fewer distractions, and the bugs think nobody is watching.
When I catch a good one I file it immediately, with steps, because "it was weird once" helps nobody.
Full reports go on
the boards and the nightly notes land on
