TIL you can "get gnomed" when using Linux. A combination of installed packages can cause GNOME desktop to spontaneously appear on your computer. There's even a whole subreddit dedicated to it. www.reddit.com/r/gotgnomed/

Game devs of bluesky, especially those experienced with unreal engine, does anyone know how to avoid the camera getting weird and fucked up when you destroy the actor for player 0? its a 2 player game and i should be allowed to do this if its already set up.

Garry Larsen warned us about this...

Don't think i ever posted this, but a while back i made these keychains I had intended to sell em but i wasn't sure if it would've had enough interest 🤔 What do y'all think?

Nah, even with all the layoffs - the industry is much bigger than it was just a decade ago. We just grew too fast during covid. Unionization will help, but i doubt we see mass unionization and I don't think it is required. The CWA is doing good work but the uvw-cwa - seems a bit unhinged to me.

My attempt at a Nyazsche comic

got my new laptop set up for school tomorrow, got all the art programs were gonna be using over the next week or so, even got it dual booted with @cachyos.org. cant wait for the new semester...

Happy New Year everyone. I’ve been pretty quiet the last six months, but I posted this message on LinkedIn late yesterday just to give everyone an update. I’ll put it here just to make sure it gets around

i was trying to take a picture of my Braun alarm clock and accidentally ended up taking this masterpiece instead

not really

Got glasses for the first time now. Still gotta adjust (as well as readjust the lenses), but it's absolutely wild how different things look now.

If you pay attention to any large industry long enough and follow it to its logical conclusion you eventually end up sounding like a communist even if you started off testing CPU case fans. youtu.be/cUrJVdF2me0?...

ill admit ive gotten a bit rusty with blender after focusing more game engines, but youd think it knows where to save videos correctly...

Love this little guy

The laptop I bought myself for Christmas arrived today, but instead of feeling excited at all I really just feel relieved that the process of trying to buy it is over.

It's insane that ram is now half the cost of new gaming hardware, quite literally preventing anyone without a net worth from getting into PC gaming. But don't worry, everyone's AI generated something or other is now even more dangerous.

That's just good game design

My favorite part of ghost of tsushima is the part near the beginning where you have to initiate a standoff and the game freezes for so long that the music literally runs out.

I'm sorry, he did what now?

One day I woke up and decided I wanted to do a stop motion animation. So I animated a simple run cycle, printed each frame and stuck them around my city ✨️ (Which btw, I felt super guilty about)

Bluesky should have a special tag for anyone you're mutuals with. One of the things I like from Tumblr that feels like it would fit here.

When working on half-life ep1 and ep2, if I created a new vcd (voice and animation file) i had the character standing and waving so the animators wouldn’t miss it had voice but needed final animation.

I've actually been meaning to schedule a doctor's appointment for the year, and it might not be a terrible idea to also try and schedule a first time therapy appointment at the same time. Too bad school and work are keeping me too busy for that shit.

Today's lunch consisted of a concerning amount of chicken

@ashleyloob.bsky.social I think the cat is neat .

when ppl drop slurs in ur games u gotta hit em with the old pause 'n' shame

Bonus post to end the week: If you are a graphics programmer do yourself a favor and get a MIDI board. It makes the work way more tactile and fun. Full props to Matt and @aaronmjacobs.com for getting me on the MIDI train. :)

anybody got a source for this video? the editing is inspired and I need to know if the person responsible has more where this came from

Still need more baseball? We found a CD in our archives containing dozens of unused voice lines from MLB Slugfest 20-03 rejected by the MLB. Here's some of our favorites.

i can't get any work done 😭 this man put all his skill points in willpower

Waow, that's a good chunk of the accounts I follow going crazy over baseball rn.

having cats means sometimes a little weirdo shows up for no reason
