new ayylmao, a redo of that other one i made she can give the best hugs (will the upload work this time?)

6am - Iguin posting time (I blew through the Witch Hat Atelier manga a few weeks ago and I am entranced)

RIP to John Blanche, the best to ever do it. Before Warhammer was even Warhammer he understood what it was: weird, gross, unsettling, maximalist.

here's the rest

Hey! It is my BIRTHDAY today and I am OLD. I know that most people will be outside, enjoying life BUT should you choose to shackle yourself to a screen instead, why not check out/share/re-watch/rate/review/shout at my film DUCKS? www.youtube.com/watch?v=L8vZ... ko-fi.com/moonjam 🎂🦆🍞🦆🎂

#17 PULSAR by Katsuhi Bowda incredibly demoscene, and yet it's all completely analogue stop motion. smooth white geometric shapes, repeating arrays, frequent cuts between effects; all edited tightly to electronic music. but it's models carved out of gypsum! www.youtube.com/watch?v=7T1l...

disconcerting seeing young people on youtube editing videos like "check out this spectral photon-mapping pathtracer I wrote, here's the theory, and I ported it to rust for gpu raytracing so i can run it at 100fps" and then they end on a note like "damn, sure hope I can get into university..."

amazing seeing this kind of rendering being done in Godot. reminds me of Control in a lot of good ways

I’ve never had my writing quoted or cited before… Today started out kinda beans, but it makes me really happy to see people having further thoughts on what felt like a weird idiosyncratic obsession of mine. Absolutely reading the rest of this the moment I’m home!

twitch.tv/canmom - can we teach a blåhaj graphics programming? greets to beings assorted. it has been a fair while since the last one of these but if you want some chill sunday afternoon times, going to be doing a bit of work on my game Shaderland over on twitch for the next several hours ^^

www.youtube.com/watch?v=C0aC... feel like this hci point of view goes some way to answering why ai "agent" shit feels so bad. so much of creation with computers lives for me in the direct interaction paradigm. if feedback is instant and state is legible it feels like play. if it's unpredictable...

Our new Gaussian point splatting renders huge 3DGS scenes in real time (e.g. 425M⬇️). It samples pixel-sized points from the Gaussians with massive parallelism and splats them to the screen using 64-bit atomics. The SIGGRAPH 2026 paper, code and video are out now: jorisar.nl/gaussian_point_splatting/

"Nezumikozo Jirokichi" animated short film by Rintaro & Studio M2 is now online. Character designs : Katsuhiro Otomo, Yoshinori Kanemori. Dedicated to jidaigeki filmmaker Sadao Yamanaka (1909-1938). >> www.youtube.com/watch?v=JoKC...

trying to play a 90 second video I made to someone at the hackspace: 'oh mpv isn't opening, it's not finding the right python? guess it's because I updated the OS recently, that's fine, I'll do a heresy and use vlc... oh that's also not working. that's fine, I think I just need to recompile mpv"

Lyn is still jobless and hasn't received new donations in the past two weeks; please consider tossing a few bucks her way. the conversion from USD to canadian dollars is pretty favorable at the moment, so your donation goes ~30% further. thanks again to everyone who keeps sharing.

thanks to aeroplane!canmom for this one. she also wants to note that aeroplanes might qualify as monads

girl who opposes object oriented programming not for performance reasons but because imposing structure through encapsulation would be an act of violence on her spaghetti code's body without organs

was reading deleuze & guattari on the plane and I'm about ready to fall back on (elle sabat sur) my bed

In memoriam of Nora / Memdmp I really wish we could've gotten to know each other better, your life was too short. 2026-04-23 💜

for tonight's @field-fx.party shader jam, a tribute to 'Empires' by @conspiracy.hu - obviously far short of the real deal (and if you crank up the depth of field, a real gpu-killer), but pretty happy to get this effect working in an hour or two! github.com/canmom/jams/... #demoscene

it took a bit but here is a pretty detailed report on the Mountainbytes demoparty (@echtzeitkultur.org), as well as some words in memory of memdmp. <3 to everyone who knew mem #demoscene

For Inercia 2025 demoparty, I made a remix of classical paintings with techno music...

And now, Swizzle's Journey: 1440p Youtube capture! #demoscene www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-o_...

On the day the horseshoe crabs came.

if you see this you have to post an anime OP from 2000-2005 tbh listen to the whole noir soundtrack bc it's early-2000s yuki kajiura at her best imo

if you see this you have to post an anime OP from 2000-2005 this one was my friend Fall's favourite anime. "sayonara, soshite arigatou"... will be watching it again soon to remember her. she'd have enjoyed this kind of game. www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQYj...

a capture of my PC Demo Shaderland::Swizzle's Journey is now under judgement on Newgrounds! the 1440p Youtube upload is just undergoing final checks; a post-party version with resolution scaling fix and writeup are on their way. #demoscene www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/...

calarts thesis films are crazy this year let's go this one's particularly next level, the abstract motion and creative framing and understated emotion, not seen anything like it, cw sui youtu.be/0AIKeyHMPnI

I mean *I* love doofus armor design, but I'm discerning about it

demo effects were crazy in 1926

The Adventures of Prince Achmed just turned one hundred years old. It's still among the best movies ever made. For the film's birthday, we're sharing Lotte Reiniger's wonderful firsthand account of its creation: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/a-film-tha...

hey i'm lottie lovely, aka frog k from twitter. i am a trans author & posting luminary, and i'm broke, and i would like to have warm-weather clothes i don't have to cut out of cold-weather clothes like a lazy fetus. cash.app/$asimplefrog ko-fi.com/frogk (for paypal) thankful for any help i get <3

baffled at people QT-dunking on this brief summary. 'the elusive shift' is a really quite nuanced book about late-70s RPG culture and how it evolved, drawing mostly from contemporary zines. it's worth reading - overturned ideas I had about early RPGs and made me realise how old our debates are.

[chromatite_32k].exe, my color drum 'n' bass track in the form of a 31,744 byte executable, is finally finished and online at https://echoparallax.bandcamp.com/album/chromatite-star-struck! It also includes its hi-fi version, B-side star_struck, and art by the incomparable @transendium.bsky.social!
