At its heart, Star Trek is a utopian fantasy about a society so advanced that they are capable of holding productive meetings that last no longer than three minutes

Hello! After an entire year, I finally finished working on this animation! And apologies for being silent for long periods of time recently, but I was completely locked in😁 It should premiere this coming Friday, 2:00 PM PST. More details in the video link below 👍 www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7_9...

Reflecting on a thought from a few years back: "God I wish we could just move on from crypto / NFTs being the biggest tech fad" *monkey paw curls*

10/10 take. No notes.

Not now, carnivorous death ball

I REALLY just wanna go to a flat earther convention and like; set up a debate between a disk-earther and a square-earther and just watch them duke it out as I ask unrelated questions like "Which continents are close to the edge?" "How thick is it?" "Do tornadoes wrap around like in Asteroids?"

Every single day of my goddamn life.

Begging on my hands and knees for the day that modern video games move past this "temporal smearing" approach to rendering tech. I gotta hold the camera still for 1-2 seconds to allow the TAA / RTGI / SSR to fully settle. I would much rather have fully rendered frames than noisy smeared garbage!

Yeah, I'm done with this company. (would've done this sooner, but things have been busy)

Is Groundhog Day a roguelike?

If anyone out there knows of any good resources for learning how to create good topology / edge-flow for a 3D sculpt, please bestow! I am searching far and wide and coming up with loads of "draw the rest of the owl"-type videos / images. I am mainly struggling with connecting arms to shoulders.

What’s the most dangerous bit of a sword?

Seeing the Bill Watterson originals full of pencil lines of stuff that didn’t work, scuffs the eraser didn’t pick up, white out galore and more was something I needed to see to remind myself that nothing is perfect the first go and tweaks need to be made and you’re allowed to try again.

The word "Luddite" is not an insult in a world where refrigerators play ads

Maybe it's just me, but I think multi-billion-dollar corporations shouldn't be allowed to settle a case with 1% their net worth the moment it doesn't seem to be going their way. Especially when a guilty verdict would have nearly put them out of business for *checks notes* "pirating 7 million books".

Sometimes we’re unsatisfied with a thing we made because when it only existed in our head, we saw all the things it could have been and when it’s done we know all the things that it isn’t, but we can’t see the way it expands into a million new things when someone else unpacks it in their head. 🖊️🦑

"For selected products only, there's Mastercard."

Elect me as president and I will make sure that the number of hot dogs you get in a pack will always equal the number of buns you get in a pack. No more 8 buns to 10 hot dogs. Life will be so much easier!

I’ve gotten choked up reading this Superman page so many times over the years. Supes is always at his best and most heroic when he’s being a role model for heroic deeds we’re all capable of.

tv static was liminal time in media. it held a weird power bc it indicated that “there was something here, but it’s gone now” or “there is nothing here… yet.” the backrooms wield the same ambiguous menace of an empty stage, but now we get ads when we pause a video. god forbid our minds wander

EEnE Reboot: Just like all cartoon reboots; everyone has iPads and smartphones now. Ed and Eddy kidnap a cape-clad Plank and coerce Double-D into digitizing him to make "Board Cape Hot Stud" NFTs as part of a pump and dump scam traded against the de-facto currency of the cul-de-sac [jawbreakers].

Bud screams as he is gotten.

this is a kind of violence

The plover is showing the weasel the shore where they were born while taking a rest from their excursion 🐚🪨

My absolute favorite Tom & Jerry episode (I think I first saw it when I was 8). When they hook up the compressor leads and everything turns to ice- my brain just lit up. I had fully convinced myself that this was possible and that I must try to do it someday.

there are 1,100 words in this article and zero of them are "bus"

1 year ago ~to the day~

Realizing that I'm gonna be thinking "I just need to figure this whole thing out" for the rest of my life, even up to my final moments on my death bed. The realization is both alarming and calming to me and I don't really know why.

You could start by climbing through the Ledges, and climbing down into the Pit of Despair. Crawl through the Pit, then race into the Throne Room. Sit on the Throne of the Pretender, and you could choose to go up into the Heart Room, or into the Treacherous Swamp. If you escape, you might have a chan

Rotating Hologram: "NO WEAPONS ALLOWED" Random Kid: "Ok so here's how persistence of vision works..."

Just walked by the historic spot where in 1999 Lou Bega, who was then writing “Mambo No. 5,” first obtained a little bit of Monica

Gonna be real with you, this feels like an advertisement for spiritual death

“We Didn’t Watch Brain Rot When I Was Your Age” Says Millennial Who Can Recite Every YTMND Meme From Memory hard-drive.net/hd/video-gam...

I met some very kind, friendly, gentle people in the ephemeral spaces and times between consciousness, I danced, laughed, and fell in love- then I woke up. It's not a good Monday for me.

Carl Sagan explains how the ancient Greeks knew the Earth was round and calculated its circumference over 2,000 years ago.

Many, many years ago, animator Adam Brown brought motion to Bill Watterson’s classic Calvin & Hobbes dance strip. We’ll never see an official cartoon, and rightly so, but every time I see this, it just makes me want to pull out my dog-eared collections and re-read the whole lot. Try it. You need it.

As promised here’s Pink Pony Club but it’s about encryption

"This feature has become very popular among people who have no imagination" goes hard.

Good things will still happen

So at the start of Half-Life: Blue Shift there's this really cool train crash. I had a discussion about this in a gamedev server where we were trying to determine how this was done. There's nothing in the game files to suggest it was an animated model, so I decompiled the map to check it out and...
