We've just made our largest custom jigsaw puzzle yet with ~4000 wood pieces! This is going to be insanely difficult to assemble

On the other hand Outer Worlds 2 has plenty of serious (and disturbing) messages. SPOILER ALERT I spent time trying to resolve one quest without making damage to harmless Protectorate outcasts. “Check on us later” they said. Yeah… 😏first against the wall once shit hit the fan. Sad.

Pretty much close to finishing Outer Worlds 2. Absolutely enjoying random gags here. Check out this hilarious helmet unlocked by tedious collection quest: A New Point of View Mk 2 (all it does is everything starts looking pixelated like 1997 game)

OK, it’s close to Christmas and I’m still ton close (or I feel like I am not) to finishing The Outer Worlds 2 🤷‍♂️ Some funny observations through…

And we’re finally to Outer Worlds 2! Hooray! All glory to Auntie Cleo!!! 🤣

Freaking shoutout to No Mans Sky team. #nomanssky. Recent updates are mind blowing yes! Keep up the good job! Recent expedition finally got me to catch up and that was so much fun

OK, couple of quick game reviews. Herdling is first. Too short in my opinion. Also not as relaxing as I would except from the title. But otherwise this is a real deal. Just like FAR: you can enjoy it for next few years s occasionall

One thing for certain. It is extremely hard not to compare the gameplay to modern RPG. Like Awoved or Cyberpunk 😂 And… those design choices circa 2006 leave a lot to be desired… like like who the heck designed those lockpick and persuade minigames? WTF really? 😂

Playing Oblivion Remastered and… It’s been almost 19 years but some things are exactly as I left them: beautiful yet buggy as hell 😂 Well, we’ll see if I can finish it now.

YIKES @soundcloud.dev no thank you

Aw shoot, when did Apple TV+ picked up the MURDERBOT series?! It’s one of the most… wait, they are the most hilarious sci-fi novels recently published! Good news, it’s coming May 16th

Holy shit I fucking got it. I've been awake since 4:03am, I drove 95 miles, got here at 7:10am, and at 4:29pm one of the peregrine falcons attacked TWO pelicans and made contact on THREE attempts. 17 useful frames. Here's a fast edit on my phone. Let's fucking go and log off! 🪶

All the bird photo contests for 2025 can just call it right now

Playing #Awoved and there is one thing to ask. Is your sound designer from Midwest? Blackbirds were disturbing OK, but tree frog? What’s it doing here 😂

So the reason Norfolk Island copped a dramatically higher tariff than the rest of Australia is two shipments of Timbaland boots from the Bahamas and some aquarium supplies from the UK that had their point of origin mislabeled or misrecorded. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Roses are red Violets are blue

'Did you even say thank you?'

Fascinating story! @aresluna.org I would buy a book if you fancy to write one on the subject.

This is the clearest photo ever taken of Venus. 🔭 🧪

Remembering that low Democratic Party turnout was attributed in part to Kamala-Walz being not enough pro-Palestine. So, how do you feel now folks? Happy with the outcome? Just asking 💁‍♂️ www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Oh shoot. I forgot Canada, “the 51st state.”

So if someone creates an illustrated book using OpenAI and Midjourney it’s absolutely OK to steal it and print as yours, ha ha. Well, that is fair 💁‍♂️ www.theverge.com/news/602096/...

Mirror K Bengal. Must paint it in oil some day 😅

This is the best take on minesweeper I’ve seen since 1995. And maybe one of the best rogue like games I’ve seen as well. Check it out, cause most importantly it’s free to play in your browser! danielben.itch.io/dragonsweeper

Reading the heated debate about if it is ethical to use AI generated images as book covers. 🧐 IMHO it is fairly easy to stop their use in printed media - just require publishers to list all contributors of a picture, just like they do for photos.

The next 4 years will be grifts on top of grifts.

Finally got to play Stalker 2 and… it’s mixed feelings game. It’s both gorgeous and bad at the same time. Which is both surprising and unsurprising given its Ukrainian nickname can be translated as “wait-forever-ker”. Alas Duke Nukem Forever keeps the title of longest wait worst released title.

Drive safe folks! Being late is better then being in a ditch.

When your team spends ridiculous number of hours to create such beautiful environment… you must do a photo mode as well. On the other hand I really like this absolutely minimalist HUD in Indiana Jones.

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle game is so good I’m hesitant to finish it. Instead I’m scouring the level to get every puzzle and joke 😂

The one-page calendar that changes how you view the year Tired of needing to flip through the calendar to match up calendar dates with days-of-the-week? This one-page calendar for 2025 has you covered, all year, in ways you might never have thought. bigthink.com/starts-with-...

So, this Christmas Eve I finished a test painting inspired by @akiyoshikitaoka.bsky.social And even despite small size the the effect is wild. Next up, scale it up to 24”

Wow! 😮 Makes it perfectly clear why astronomers abandoned all attempts to create a perfect solar system model and just use polynomial coefficients.

That a dude with a couple cameras and a plate of appetizers can make something worth $82.5 million and a media company looks at that and goes "couldn't we make even more money if we had AI do it?" tells you exactly how stupid these people are

“I would not consider using this feature myself, now or in the future” ha ha 😆

Google improves their quantum computers slowly but surely. Now 100 Cubits, wow! We are getting closer to news about someone breaking hashing algorithm of blockchain for breakfast. Bitcoin doomsday.

Ever since we upgraded kitchen to induction cooktop it’s love-hate relationship. Induction—fantastic. Touch controls—absolute worst. Thing shuts down and enters error mode even with a little spill. What makes matters worse there is no way to temporarily disable controls to clean it 😔 #badUX #ux

What a surprise! I could’ve bet the first thing to fail will be that extra long wiper. But wait… it’s just the beginning of December 😂

me in the family group chat

I liveskyed the 2024 Martial Law Declaration of Korea. This is the thread.

Opening news today: “Shit, some chance Red Dawn movie might become reality” Couple of hours later: “Nope, not happening” 😂

One user experience feature of Bluesky that makes me happy each and every time: opening links directly in my browser app. So simple. Perfection! #ux

Moving to bluesky 18 months ago was pretty easy for me once I realized Elon was throttling links to my stories. Honestly, all journalists should move here for that reason. Even if Twitter wasn’t a right wing hellhole, it doesn’t drive traffic to your work like it used to.

With Thanksgiving almost here, I think it's a good time to remember the morale of Star Wars. Don't let politics mess up your relationship with your family members. Yeah, blowing up Alderaan could be called evil, but he's her dad and that counts for something.

10k followers! Nice seeing that our art community growing back in a more safe and sane place. Lots of old connections and plenty of new ones! #art #digitalart

This is really vile 😂

A number of artists and creators have made their home on Bluesky, and we hear their concerns with other platforms training on their data. We do not use any of your content to train generative AI, and have no intention of doing so.

A few months ago, Initiative For Interstellar Studies team asked me to do a few illustrations of a hypothetical generation ship, as part of the promotional material for their Project Hyperion competition, which has gone live recently: projecthyperion.org (1/4) Detail closeups in a thread below.
