Never thought of that but good question, the farthest I've gotten with Linux is trying Mint and getting pissed off at it/unhelpful forum posts in like, ~6 minutes, but I still wanna find a distro I like some day
Am I living my best life? Idk. but things are pretty nice for me despite...most Current Events™ rn. That's a MAJOR blessing
I'll just keep on keeping an eye out for that "next step," keep making stuff for myself/friends. "Best" is like "perfect," after all. It's aspirational, not a passing grade
I'm doing quite alright, taking things at my own pace, hanging w/ some online friends more
I've been moderately productive at best, but I've seen some ppl putting big effort into job searching to effectively null results. so why not chill/do personal projects if the alternative is wasted effort
On the other place, I rarely scrolled, I mostly just went through notifications from the people I turned them on for
Here we only just recently got notifs, and even then they're lacking fine control, so I've just...not been using/reading things here.
Solidarity 😔 I'm proud of basically all my work but it's not "marketable," per se. It takes more than baseline average consumer knowledge to appreciate the accomplishments
ok, brand, I'll give it to you, that's *genuinely* funny and clever.
A slide about the death toll in Gaza “could be perceived as antisemitic.”
There have been many times where I've heard a game's soundtrack before playing it, thought it was meh or merely OK
Then I played the game and suddenly I love x5 as many of the tracks
I find this hilarious but also telling about how tastes and opinions work
The default Blender modifiers menu. All items have gray icons and it's difficult to differentiate between them unless you closely read every name
The Bforartists version of the same menu. Each tool has a different icon in bright, readable colors. It's much easier to tell the difference between tools, even if you squint.
A friend shared this with me, so now I'm sharing with you:
This is a fork of Blender that has an overhaul of the interface that adds colored icons, verbose tooltips, and more industry-standard behavior across the board.

Check out this before and after of the modifiers menu:
ABYSS X ZERO work-in-progress:
In between dungeons, you'll explore large open fields, with roaming giant creatures, like this one!
I'm now working on the procedural animation system that allows it to walk on any type of terrain elevation, react to the player, etc

Seriously great article, and it points out some VERY KEY details, like how despite EA considering it a 'failure' (and thus putting blood in the water for the bigot brigade), it sold more than many of the year's other high-proflile, award-winning and equally 'woke' RPGs.
Climate collapse is bad buuuuut also damn this is fantastic game-environment inspiration. Hadn't really considered a snow swamp before.

Likewise! But if it's a sponsorship a YouTuber is running, it instead has a 50% chance to be fine/whatever, 25% chance to be good, 15% chance to be not great, and 10% chance to be shit, roughly. These can also fluctuate based on the YouTuber doing the sponsorship
very easy to get caught up in the loud obnoxious grifter assholes who decry “wokeness” & complain representation is ruining their “hobby” but the thing that matters is, a bunch of people chanting TRANS RIGHTS raise $2mil+ for great charities twice a year, every year. that’s what it’s all about
A reminder as Musk-bots, Trump-bots, and other bots start hitting Bluesky: blocking users removes their replies from your posts entirely.
The correct way of handlin antagonizing parties is to block. Not reply. Not dunk. Not mute. Block. It stops their reach and effectiveness right there.
Games Done Quick this year has been a great reminder that videogame culture - the actual culture, not aggrieved incels on Youtube - is pretty fucking cool.
You'll never hear about some grifter raising millions for charity to riotous applause.
These "echo chamber" accusers really are so silly, just completely incapable of imagining that normal human beings don't want to be angry and arguing dirty, 24/7
debate me please God please I need this debate me let me spit my poison the poison won't reach if we're not debating please please please
I have a similar frustration about pandemic coverage: way too many stories (especially on the right) about how pandemic concerns were overblown and we over-responded when in fact millions of Americans died and the measures we took were the reason that wasn't tens of millions.
Happy & peaceful holidays, everyone!
Currently on an upswing and that's nice. I'll have finished two projects in not too long, though neither of them are game related.
Well, one of them is TTRPG related, a website. I'll probably post about it when it's done.
Haven't even been reposting things on here. Been living under a rock while I recover from grad school, put my head on straight, and figure out if it was ever on straight to begin with
your job is to inspect cabins and determine if they're haunted or not. pay close attention to every detail. nothing is as it seems
but don’t let paranoia get the better of you :)
(our horror game The Cabin Factory, 15 days till launch)
The Palestinian-made game Dreams on a Pillow is 413 dollars and 13 backers short of respectively 60K raised and 1,000 supporters. Who wants to help push it over towards those milestones?

My favourite level design and environment art resource and the best website on the internet is still noclip.website
I have a lot of complex feelings watching myself struggle to make coherent sense of how I feel amidst an industry that has dehumanized my people while the Palestinian genocide shows the results of that dehumanisation. A beautiful documentary by @hippolyte.bsky.social.

Occasionally I remember this insane timeline UI we made for Heaven’s Vault which lets you zoom between the past 3 seconds all the way to 3 MILLENNIA of history 🕑
That was a cooool thing to work on
