Sometimes I wake up in horror of thinking that there is a server somewhere will all my files and cropped screengrabs

"WACUP" music player, a modern version of winamp

its 2025, sick of ads and subscription, and im back to listening my local music file using winamp ("WACUP" is the modern version), and it rocks

I really really love these

A page filled with painting studies and sketches of artdeco interiors and various structures inspired bu tv shows

Crawling back from sickness to wrap page and go back to coding

Otherwise, it has been a lot of stress recently.
I've said goodbye to several colleagues, one of whom hired me 8 years ago.
We haven't been on the same project for some time so I didn't notice how much older he now looks.
I wish for every producer who cares - to have a good solid rest and vacation.

Fell with Flu (ugh) but looking forward to first time trip to US soonish.
At this point I've seen so many references of NY, that experiencing it irl will be surreal.
Touching nearest trash bin: "Hi. You're real"

Take care 🙏

Peter Hummelgaard, Danish Minister of Justice, remains defiant:

"I indisputably believe that surveillance creates an increased sense of security ... and given that the prerequisite for freedom is security, yes, I believe that more surveillance equates to more freedom"

Disagree? fightchatcontrol.eu

Its horrible, I can only assure you we drank plenty because of it

Sorry to hear 😓

My deepest condolences, Zen
I wish you some rest and I wish this never happened, especially to those close by🙏

Drawing of Justin Bi**er like mansions

Miami art deco studies

Art deco studies.

Commute drawing therapy 🧑‍💻🚇
Started with various pinterest studies and then proceeded to fill two pages with imaginary buildings.

I want to get more solid at drawing from eye level pov,

other is David Umemoto inspired.
Crazy that a lot of this architecture was done during Great Depression. Crazy but also makes sense.

Discovered a tonn of nice buildings in Miami -- I hope they put them in new g.T./\

I have such good news for executives and industry leaders - it is incredibly easy for *you*, specifically, to put a stop to this. Tell these bad-faith harassers no. Loudly and publicly support your employees & industry colleagues.
Shut this shit down once and for all to protect the future of games.

A disabled double amputee named Rodney Taylor has been held in ICE custody since January.

He’s been denied his new prosthetic legs and is now in solitary confinement.

His “crime”? A burglary when he was a teen for which he received a full pardon. 🧵

Actively talk about how insane this is let people who are not online know how much this will impact them and how fucking creepy is. Stuff like this pass easily due to apathy and distractions like what’s going on in global politics. Once shit like this is in no government will chose to remove it

I made a pixel art upscaling/rotation algorithm called cleanEdge! It makes rotating pixel art as clean as possible

I made a tool for it too! drop your sprites in and get some nice rotated or upscaled versions :)

the icon customization screen of windows is like a museum of the different UI trends over multiple decades

this is nightmarish and should alarm you no matter what your opinions on pornography are

One of the things the Nazis did when coming to power was push propaganda that Jews were criminals and prone to violence by focusing on crime committed by Jews or fabricating crime they falsely attributed to Jews.
