One thing I particularly love about looking through art books for some ADVs is seeing the extra bits an artist made for a CG outside the frame of what we normally see in-game. I especially love when they’re uncolored. They'd make for a cool print...

everyone playing ds2 on pc is about to get really disappointed lmao

the goal is now to save enough to facilitate taking advantage of the dutch-american treaty thingy. everything involved makes my head spin but it is far more achievable than most other options. still a huge undertaking. but it feels within grasp?

I finally watched Chernobyl (I'm late to a lot of TV, okay!) and the line, "Every lie we tell incurs a debt to the truth. Sooner or later that debt is paid." will stick with me for a while, because holy hell is it more relevant now than ever before.

Yesterday the Indian government removed people's right to self-identify as transgender The fact that this did made no news, even on LGBTQ focused sites like Pink News is just insane.

‘Science’ as a discrete, bounded object simply cannot survive contact with the evidence of the multiplicity of the past.'

if you love me you will help me escape danger if you hate me you will help me get far away from you so you never hear of me again win win !

i hate war crimes experts bc they’ll show up and be like “um yeah so this guy surrendered then had a grizzly demise but actually he forgot to (do the magic friendly dance) so it’s ok they strapped him to a rocket and shot him into the sun”

migrating some of my sandbox #shaders into main project, need to lock down some of the materials to be used and work on a little 'beautiful corner' environment styleguide this week. One of my favorite shader creations, no textures,all procedural,maybe make it a bit more NPR #devlog #gamedev #godot

hiya, cis folks! this is a totally achievable request to help a trans woman get out of harm’s way and into a better situation. america’s institutions & electeds are failing us all rn, but you can actually make a tangible difference in the life of someone much of the country has turned its back on.

Calvinball is americas worst sport

me, asking where the party at-at

if anyone could signal boost or knows of someone who could take my friend marcy out of her very much getting worse and worse current living situation I would greatly appreciate it

I remember when the Labour govt did that one off payment and they also excluded beneficiaries and I thought that was very very wrong then too. We should help the most vulnerable no questions asked. This is the approach I take to to mutual aid as well. People need help. Help people. The end.

I spent 6 weeks on the unemployment benefit in 2010 and I know what it’s like. And now I make a nice salary but I will always stand up for beneficiaries first. I’m tired of the ‘working people’ propaganda we aren’t better just luckier for the most part. I think what the government is doing is cruel.

a sound i’m surprised i never hear in games are wet lungs. fluid in the lungs sounds terrifying up close, webbed, wet wheezing

there are two ages of trans people Later (30+) and Earlier (25)

This bit from Azeem Banatwalla is amazing.

Here's a really good primer about de-rolling from an Australian group called the Arts Wellbeing Collective. www.artswellbeingcollective.com.au/wp-content/u...

De-rolling is an important part of the process of performing, where you essentially take steps to separate yourself from the character. Some people have specific rituals for doing so, I usually would do it when taking off my costume/stage makeup after a show. I'm taking "off" the character.

Theater/opera person, here: this is likely due to "bleed," which is a phenomenon we're literally trained for. When acting (or in this case, role-playing) a character for a good while and there are intense situations (such as an RPG finale), the emotions of the character can literally become yours!

this guy looks like every t4t puppy on the west coast

the bill not only bans, it would allow the federal government to define (arbitrarily, precisely) “classic literature”

I am actually shocked and aghast. This world may be beyond repair

man i know we always focus on us/europe anti-trans stuff, so this isn't getting nearly the same attention, this situation out of india is horrifying with this badly written legislation: thesouthfirst.com/beyond-south...

Whenever I hear about the leaky pipeline, I recall an interview I saw when I was an undergrad with a woman in STEM who said "I'm all for getting more women into the pipeline but people don't realize that the pipeline is full of acid." NIH and other grant terminations exacerbate this situation.
