One thing i don't really see brought up much is the impending collapse of the petrodollar as a catalyst for a lot of what's happened the past couple years

$50.1 million could fund over 400 doctorates; 933 years worth of annual curator salaries (UK), or running cost for a millennium-worth of free events like the Lyme Regis Fossil Festival. It is inane that people can accumulate such wealth, and use it explicitly to cause public harm.

brain isn't working correctly and google isn't helping: What is the name for that line that separates below and above water when viewed side-on? The thing I put in like half my artwork? This thing (photo credit: cpo.noaa.gov/noaa-blue-ca...)

I don't remember who it was, but someone on here was talking about being frustrated that players in a game automatically respond to new characters/events by attacking them first okay, so you know how sharks can only have their mouths to explore the world?...

trying to teach myself music production for game stuff via youtube tutorials, getting pretty frustrated that so many of these music producer channels have zero qualms using the sloppiest generated art imaginable when any artist I know wouldn't ever use generated music. One-way solidarity.

New GITS is good, but the pacing is waaay off. I had to check that i wasn't watching it at 2x speed accidentally. Hopefully it's just an episode 1 thing.

I joined "underwater jam", which starts at the end of the month. I figure that's enough of a recovery period from mechjam without me losing momentum itch.io/jam/underwat...

I picked up a 1975 oscilloscope to make cool visuals with and holy shit it is so sick 😍

Randomly remembered renting and really liking appleseed and GITS in middle school, so naturally i looked up this 'masamune shirow' guy's website in the school's computer lab. Really lucky nobody else could see my screen that moment lol

horror story idea: lou bega singing mambo number 5, he just keeps going for weeks. every name is mentioned, then every archaic one in every language. forgotten cavewoman names. then every combination of sounds until he monkey-typewriters onto the true name of god

#mechjam update It's DONE. #gamedev #lowpoly #mecha youtu.be/xnd1D_RGr-k itch.io/jam/mechjam7...

The area near the capital was struck with 7.2 and 7.5 earthquake. Some Venezuelans were greatly affected including some of the ones here. If you have the means to help donate to their kofi's or other means directly to them. Int organization funds often don't reach as many people here

#mechjam yesterday I got the final boss working, and the game is playable from start to finish now! (about 2 minutes total playtime ;-; ). I have today to do the intro/pause/exit etc screens #godot #mecha #lowpoly

#mechjam progress, only three days left! Started building the actual level #lowpoly #mecha #godot

made some robot animals #mechjam

my immediate family is all ok (besides broken windows etc) thankfully, but some of my cousin's-cousin's lived in La Guira and their whole apartment building collapsed with them in it. The whole family is gone, jfc.

#mechjam progress, I lost a day, but terrain tiles and projectiles are set up now.

#mechjam day 6 progress. Modeled and set up a bunch of props, learned about object pooling, got a screen-raycast reticle system working, figured out how I'm going to implement the "safari" theme ( I think ) #mecha #lowpoly #gamedev

Progress, still not happy with the water though.

#MechJam day 3. PC and her hydrofoil mech modeled, textured and rigged, also half a water shader. I realized halfway through making the mech it's kind of TwinBee-coded, maybe I should lean into that gameplay wise? #lowpoly #mecha #gamedev

didn't have a huge amount of time to work today, but here's progress on the player character

#MECHJAM day 1: brainstorming & moodboard (and un-photogenic project setup in Godot). I think I want to make a rail-shooter ala Burning Force or Space Harrier.

📣 It's time! You officially have two weeks to create your game for this year's MechJam - best of luck to everyone. Don't forget to share your WIPs with the #MechJam hashtag.

Share your blue art! 💙

Explain your @ It randomly popped into my head when I was signing up for Tumblr 15 years ago (because of alliteration), and now I'm stuck with it for the rest of my life

This is a deep-sea isopod. Dr. Johanna Weston, a deep-ocean biologist and guest investigator at @whoi.edu, is confident this is Bathyopsurus nybelini, one of her favorite animals. Learn why via the YouTube caption: youtube.com/shorts/DenUj...

I think I'm going to focus on game feel for this next jam, getting #56 in "fun factor" last time stung a little bit.

only 4 days until #mechjam! itch.io/jam/mechjam7

Made mini samosas for my oldest's graduation party, plus mint and tamarind chutney.

This shader textbook is making me learn vector math, i don't even know normal math. My brain is leaking out of my ears.

We have to end his power in November. It is life or death.

Periodic reminder that Teapot Dome, the worst scandal in American history prior to Watergate, involved $9 million changing hands. That’s adjusted for inflation. This story by itself is 55500% bigger than Teapot Dome. That’s not a typo.

I threw this together for a friend real quick, but I'm sure others will find it helpful :> Behold, a very unscientific tutorial on how I draw bird wings
