a meme of a mcdonald's "jesse plemons meal" parodying the sports celebrity meals at fast food places, it shows a picture of him looking a little offput and the meal consists of a regular hamburger, fries from wendy's, and a cup for water. jesse is low key saying "I get it sometimes"

We few, we happy few, we band of tankers,
For he that today sheds his oil with me shall be my brother;
Be he ne'er so crude, this day shall refine his condition
And oilermen in Texas now abed
Shall think themselves accurs'd they were not here

I'm not a game dev, and I'm certainly not at GDC, so you don't get to see what I look like (you're not missing out).

But check out the hashtag #WhatAGameDevLooksLike to take a peep at the diverse and wonderful folks that make games happen.

And if you participate, don't forget that spicy alt text!

With a fixed pipeline you’re stuck modeling the cube. With modern shaders, you can project the cube map to the UV space of a single quad. youtu.be/onKSZQQCgcQ

It's important to remind Secretary Kennedy that anesthesia causes adverse health outcomes at a far greater rate than vaccinations and that doing surgery without anesthesia, or "painmaxxing," is the masculine choice.

A lot of technological advancement is a double-edged sword.

Vaccines, on the other hand, are just an uncomplicated positive (and often free!). A literal medical miracle, and people are finding reasons to not take them.

anywhere bluesky is today is due to a userbase that fled twitter turning into a barely functional cesspit, and is in spite of the developers doing their best to alienate and ban that userbase.

except for banning Palestinians and defending transphobes. Jay can have responsibility for that, sure.

Panel 1: Shen is standing in a complicated machine, having seemingly just appeared inside it with sparks of green electricity. His clothes billow as he yells "AAA!! WHERE AM I??"

Panel 2: A serious looking, realistically drawn scientist begins to, with furrowed brow and intense shading, seriously explain: "It is the year 2155. We brought someone from the past who has an attention span of more than 6 seconds to"

Panel 3: The scientist is suddenly very simply/cutely drawn, now having raised his phone to his face and happily looking at it.

Panel 4: Shen raises his hands in a confused gesture and frustratedly says "YOU GUYS BUILT A TIME MACHINE IN 6 SECOND INTERVALS??"
