I was recently thinking how long it will take until I don't want to wear my #Discord merch anymore. Well...soon (tm). "Discord's age verification rollout has ties to #Palantir co-founder and panopticon architect Peter Thiel" www.pcgamer.com/software/pla... THIS IS WHY I HAVE TRUST ISSUES!

Dude regularly works for Disney, DreamWorks, Netflix and CN so speculate away. But this sucks no matter which studio is doing it, and gross to think some major movie this year is running with a plagiarized image from ChatGPT.

🚀 LIFTOFF! ESA astronaut Sophie Adenot and #Crew12 are on their way. GO #εpsilon!

Genuinely excited for their new album. I'm already a fan of their "regular" song, but the symphonic versions are on another level. 🤌 youtu.be/aH1QHvPnF3E?... #musicsky

It's like an unwritten rule that tablets are always out of juice when they are needed. #art #gamedev #indiedev

This has probably been my most used gif in dev chat since I started working on those VFX. #gamedev #indiedev

Age verification? One of the first games I played was this (Prince of Persia):

Giving me access to photo editing programs was a mistake.

Looks like we are also meme'ing today. Made by Amph #gamedev #indiedev

Well, I'm awake. Back to work. #gamedev #indiedev

QRP with your skull art 💀

*wheeze* #gamedev #indiedev

Finally getting the hang of creating more complicated VFX. I’ve got a lot of days with very little sleep ahead of me, but I’m excited to work on all these new character skills. Or at least until our animators throw the next characters at me for SFX work and implementation. 😅 #gamedev

All I wanted to do is go into the kitchen to get something. Now there is an entire plum pie in the oven. Being able to cook/bake is a "curse".

I hate repotting cacti.

1 Getting the old blood pump out of its winter rest. Normally I’m in the “warm-up/fat-burning” range here, since I’ve technically already maxed out the limits of the training equipment. Lowering the workout routine by a third during winter apparently fucks everything up though.

🧵 Those were the days. Sadly these events don't exist anymore, at least not in this form. #photography

So the pasta conversation returned today, and my colleague finally figured out why it was so difficult for him to make it. Gave it another try with no issues at all this time. We both ended up making pasta. LMAO

Proton being absolutely based.

Leftover fish rat (nutria). My colleague and I settled for the name fish rat because it has a mild smell and flavor to it that I can only describe as fishy. 😆 Also I was surprised how much meat is on these little guys. Could beat Jake Paul in a fist fight.

If you see this Quote Repost your bird art! #illustration #bird #art

Made nutria for the first time today, and now I’m trying to explain the taste to my colleague - which turns out to be really difficult, because I don’t actually know anything local I can compare it to. Nutria are an invasive species in our area, and yet their meat is rarely sold on a wider scale.

And here we fucking go again! 🖕 "They confiscate land based on the ethnicity of ancestors. Hungarians are mainly affected, but also many Austrians." www-tagesschau-de.translate.goog/ausland/euro...

Such an underrated artist. ROME - To the Great Work Only youtu.be/xGApjj82O4A?... #Musicsky

[1] Politics piss me off sometimes - but not for the reasons you might think. My great-great-great-grandfather had nothing to his name: no house, no land. He lived in what was then known as Moravia and worked as a servant for a family. My great-great-grandmother later had the luxury of owning

A month late this time, but the Sauerkraut is in the making. It's actually fermenting faster than the last 2 years, even though I didn't really change anything. Added some caraway this time but that's pretty much it and shouldn't have any influence on the fermentation process.

Hey UK, can you please return to the EU, so I can buy physical stuff from fellow artists up there, without having to sell a kindey or two? 😅

The daily struggle...

It's hard to grasp how large this grouper is until you see it in comparison to the ship's toilet on the left. This appears to be an Atlantic goliath grouper or 'itajara' (Epinephelus itajara). They can reach 800 lbs (350 kg) & 8 feet long (2.5 m) Let's talk about these gentle giants.

Day 3 of VFX hell. Things are actually starting to get easier. lol

Quote with 5 jobs you’ve had: (Volunteering and internships count) 1. Stonemason (focused on tombs) 2. Warehousewoman 3. Farmer (cattle, poultry, sheep/goats, veggies) 4. Artist (advertisement, porcellain painter, cover art) 5. Retailer

Spontaneous submission for another game project. They asked for child drawings, and I unpacked my finest crayons for this. 😆 #gamedev #indiedev

Am I doing this whole VFX thing right? 😏 #gamedev #indiedev

Day 2 of the VFX deep dive. #gamedev #indiedev

I once said I will never get into 3D modeling. Roughly 10 years later, I've created thousands of custom, game-ready 3D assets. VFX is probably going to be that next big learning section. #gamedev #indiedev

Doing a deep dive into VFX and my brain just wants to explode. #gamedev #indiedev

I started writing again. Not for anyone or anything but myself. Not online or even digitally. Nothing specific - just some thoughts and memories that kept reappearing, some of them for many years. And somehow, these things appear in a different light once they are written down. ✒️

I keep thinking I need to make more art, just to then realize that's basically what I do most of the time. I'm just not able to share it publicly or at least not yet. One day you will get a massive wall of 2D/3D art from me, showing off all the things I've been working on over the last few years. 😅

Got a pretty large pile of old records from one of my neighbors for free. ✨

[1] I think it's a pretty good time to phase out #Instagram, at least for personal use. I hardly get to see posts from people I follow, my own reach has dropped to 0 due to changes in the search function & algo, and I have to do triple the work to get my posts to show up on my followers' timelines.
