Coburn's online journal featuring thoughts, opinions of a programmer upside down in the Southern Hemisphere.
This is purely my thoughts alone on the matter. Take them with a grain of salt. I was reading Apple News the other day and Siri suggested me an article about Australian Universities going back to pen and paper after teachers and grading staff were detecting higher amounts of AI (ChatGPT, et al.) generated content…
I am slowly migrating my game development stack to a fresh installation of Arch Linux, however I ran into a interesting issue where Unity Hub would forget projects that I had added manually into the project list. The log files also indicated something in the filesystem was fucked up, so I set out to investigate….
Interesting glitch found in the Sega Saturn version of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. Actual game crash starts at 1:05 into the video.
Just a more personal side note but ever since I commented about the Unity Technologies IronSource acquisition I’ve been under an influx of Russian comment spambots. Now, I’m not suggesting anything, but what a coincidence…

I’ve already had one nostrils’…
Well, what a rough fucking few months it has been. I guess we can all thank the human malware that is COVID-19 for that. From government restrictions going in full force to them being lifted and finding myself trying to keep afloat in a sea of client callouts and other jobs, it’s been crazy. I…
This is going to be a short piece regarding some drama that I had with an “upstream” developer regarding a dependency that my Mirror HLAPI transport, Ignorance, uses to make things happen. I’ll provide an analysis of events and provide my thoughts. Stanislav Denisov, also known as nxrighthere on GitHub, is the developer of the…
Another day, another Unity quirk work around. And yes, I thought something was odd when I hadn’t updated my blog in quite sometime… you could probably blame recent health problems and overall business work load since I’ve been in very high demand, both online and in the field fixing computers and other devices. So I’ve…
