On cars why is it so important to keep the paint intact? Can we really not make cars out of materials that don't depend on this? Why is it such a shock to the resale value to have a few scratches? We use these things every day, shit happens. Why isn't that just ok?

Wait how has threads not been shut down yet?

Time to blow the dust off this again

as one of those millennials, I've now likely permanently damaged my ability to deal with stress after having to go to rehab due to burnout, barely noticing my own mental health issues, and being full of regrets not being there during my grandparents last few days alive, bc I was "busy with work"

Fascists

hey remember when the advice was to not share any personal info online with anyone? The only thing that's changed in 20 years is there's more reasons not to now

For a limited time only (19 hours!), my October fundraiser for Samaritans UK has a 4x donation match! That's QUADRUPLING your donation! If you donate £10, you are actually donating £40! You can see how much of the donation matches are available here: tilt.fyi/hpT5hlGIDF #samaritansuk #charity

Being up early sucks. Everyone else who's awake is either busy with work or a wanker who likes it

"Would you prefer to be contacted by text or phone? Please note we can't always follow this preference" Great so now I'm gonna be in waiting mode for hours just in case they decide to phone me... The more I understand my ADHD the more I realise people build systems which disable me.

The modern internet really is a shit show. Protecting kids from having their personal info harvested by private companies is great and all, but adults kinda need this too now. We barely know a fraction of how surveilled we all are.

Some people really will try to do anything except reduce the need for cars.

Seeing the amount of people just okay with Digital ID is genuinely frustrating. It’s like seeing people just walking into the lions mouth. It’s also fucking hilarious these TWO REPORTS ARE NEXT TO EACH OTHER.

Are deferred renderers getting hate? I've seen memes floating around with points that are incorrect, and I can't find any context??? istg people need to stop talking confidently about things they know nothing about and ask questions instead

Weird how this *remains relevant*

Dam been writing a book about this and she just TikToked it in 90 seconds.

"…and Magda Goebbels made a great strudel.”

Godot has become a viable game engine Blender has become a viable 3D modelling AND animation tool SteamDeck is now a fantastic "mobile" Desktop platform AAA is shrinking / abandoning territory, ceding more genres to indie Basically, (funding sitch aside) indie gamedev is seriously looking up!

Emperor Palpatine was a human being with a family, and it would be rude to celebrate his demise. Shame on the rebellion.

PSA you need to treat bluesky as if it were permanent. always. every post you make goes out to the public firehose and it is probably captured by someone somewhere. the delete button doesn't do what you think it does. every day is shut the fuck up friday, besties 💜

Not enjoying how in Sway there doesn't seem to be any such thing as a 'primary display'. Not sure if my second monitor is connecting faster, or I'm just getting some annoying behavior because it's on my left and not my right At least workspace 1 is on the main monitor and 2 on the second one

Today's furry character of the day is... Klonoa!

They should remake Rumble Roses but gender swap all the fighters to straight white males.

This is why it's important for you to remove source identifiers from links!!

went to go see him

She'll take you on!

Every day is asking too much from me

"They go to SEX CLUBS and pretend to be DOGS!" Yeah well you go to church every Sunday and pretend to be a good person

111/NHS direct is a joke. Having to misgender yourself to the people there for no reason is outright humiliating. It's designed to put trans people off reaching out for healthcare support. There were years of surveys that worked on finding respectful ways to gather this information, disregarded.

Hate coming out of a years long phase of my life collapsing and nearly ending, start getting on the mend and start improving, only to realize... ... Motherfucker I can't do push ups anymore, what haven't I fucking lost in this mess 🙃

aren't VFX people historically some of the most exploited and underpaid people in the modern film industry

On the up side, The Boss got a great glow up in this remaster

What do you mean they messed with the Snake Eater song in Delta 🙃 That's an iconic part of the game, that's history at this point that this is supposed to respect and value

cannot express how much disgust i have for these little blurbs that go "but don't worry Gamers! Your Favourite Video Game is not affected by the people whose lives are made harder so that line keeps going up!" in those layoff statements

boycott microsoft

My short term memory is actually improving... I can remember something from every day for the last five days! 🎉

Happy birthday, Alma!

Just fucking look at this, it's just a giant blurry fucking light texture under a bunch of fucking mirrored meshes under an Alpha fucking Blended floor mesh but it looks so fucking good and my graphics card can render it in the spare time between doing its nails and rotating an apple in its mind.

I kinda hate using Reddit. I wanna see what's going on with my linux distro, I'm not interested in week old posts of people showing a default desktop announcing they installed it

Just spent an hour looking into a bug in my C++ code that turned out to be an old breakpoint condition I forgot about that was looking at an element in a vector that's now out of bounds, oops

'A NSFW ban won't negatively affect me, I don't draw or post porn!' You sure? Here's how it went down when tumblr did it:

Comm #furryart

Elster, the endlessly devoted #SIGNALIS

"Critique of video game (4 hours long)" but actually it's just a long winded retelling of all the events of the game with no opinions
