I am often surprised at studios making online competitive things with dreams of eternal audiences, because they almost always leave in glaring mastery aspects that make the games completely uninviting for new players, quickly.

What's she yapping about?

at least outfit on point

Awarded for bravery as the sole survivor of their squad. The rest were all wiped out.

#PortfolioDay - biiig maps edition Despite everything, it's still me, Alessandro, an italian pixel artist who left the Fine Arts and Movie Art Department to go crazy about little squares. I like big top-down maps and limited palettes, but I kind of do a little bit of everything-pixels nowadays!

Honestly, I'm pretty amazed how aesthetics and styles of the world completely froze in time. Save for some details and advertisements, if I was placed on the same street in the '80s as this year, I wouldn't feel I was that far from the year I left from. bsky.app/profile/blac...

Here's the thing: Democrats already know who can win. They know which policies are popular with voters and which candidates are vocally in support of those policies. They're going to throw a billion dollars into trying to prevent those candidates from becoming the nominee.

Okay so you might see this video with the audio muted. Now imagine how the music must sound like. I urge you to unmute and listen to what it's actually like because I guarantee you you're not prepared for it.

In 2000, John Waters donated 372 pieces of his art collection to the Baltimore Museum of Art. They named a rotunda after him in their gallery. He requested an all-gender restroom be named for him instead. #BOTD

i watch a lot of international sports an America is the only place where fights happen and the commentators & crowd react as if it's some sort of ancient, critical meta, and not deeply shameful, embarrassing, and fucking stupid. perhaps this acceptance of violence is relevant given *waves around*

I won't say Iran is over covered. I will say that Lebanon is undercover. Bernie is right.

Israel continues to destroy southern Lebanon.

Basically, the big AI companies are now trying to defuse the importance of the tech to society so that it may be given a grace period to evolve more, and then get right back to claim it is the future revolution. A blind hope to not pop a bubble.

well don't tell *us*, tell the fricking lead engineer that won't hire generalists that do not happen to share their entire list of skills www.pcguide.com/news/guilty-...

Bluesky being extra wonky right after the owners boast about vibe coding on it? It's almost like it's an invitation for someone to be poking at it, one would imagine

I hear Americans complain about confusing parking signs. You should come to Sweden/Europe, where signs are designed without writing words as far as it can work

I recently tripped and fell while running. I mentioned this in a WhatsApp conversation and joked that I’m too old to run at 45. Now I’m getting ads like this…

Bluetooth is shit tech that needs a successor

Integration of AI into state institutions, again, is the only way they could make any profit and stay alive. Stop, before it gets too far.

i remember when the potential inaccuracy of wikipedia was a huge point of concern for academic use and we cautioned against it for years, the machine that cannot be prevented from lying is required to use though this reeks of schools being paid to make this happen by the companies selling this shit

This is so, so well-articulated.

@zaratustra.bsky.social damnit I was so close to correcting you and was robbed

I keep having a dream where I set up a second PC next to my current one that has Windows 98 or older installed

My quest to read more books is most of all hampered by me forgetting I can Almost finished "Strange Buildings", which is pretty neat. It was a random airport purchase; I didn't read the first book.

The visual presentation of your video game is what sells 90% of your copies.

Logitech's mechanical "office" MX keyboards are super nice, but what's not nice is it has dynamic light levels that you cannot edit unless you solder the inside of it, and literally nobody online likes it

Maybe it's just me guessing, but it feels like big game company asset consistency policy in EU/US has stricter rules on entity "bones", like shape of characters. Otherwise I don't know how to explain why Asian big games are so much better at enemy shape variety.

"Oh! It's you!" All shot practically using real lighting, figures, smoke and miniature sets. Like the Library ghost shot I posted last week this shot was done using the old 'Peppers Ghost' technique using a piece of glass to create the ghost like effect. #ghostbusters #slimer #photography #art

I should've achieved a lot more with the freedom I had allotted to me

The Bluesky team should use AI to predict what will inevitably be the response to what they think are good posts
