Gonna approach Newsom with my bold new economic position that you should find money when you cut grass or break rocks.

hypothetical tech deets: the screen was designed for SNES Mode 2 where the boss is BG 1, using two palettes, and the background is BG 2 using column scrolling to produce a tilting effect. The players and UI elements are all sprites, although this would probably be impractical in an actual SNES game.

Link, rendered in 1440p, standing outside a jpeg of the Temple of Time.

The same picture, but Link is pixelated to the same resolution as the jpeg.

phew, I think I managed to fix 'em.

A snippet of a scene from Ocarina of Time, rendered at 1440p resolution. The 3D models are pretty distinct from the pre-rendered background that they're rendered on top of.

The same snippet but downscaled to match the resolution of the backdrop. The scene looks a bit more coherent. Unfortunately, the downscaling introduced a very slight blur effect to the backdrop as well.

so I've been working on a downscaler for playing 3D games that were supposed to be played at a lower resolution, but there's still some very slight imperfections that are bugging me...

An analog, three panel comic sequence created using yellow sticky notes. It features a goose/duck like creature that has literal googly eyes. As the sticky notes progress, it looks as though the goose/duck is coming closer to the viewer by having the bird shape itself—as well as the googly eyes—grow larger in scale.

I knew my stash of googly eyes would be of use one day

my mind is blown by the idea that celeste speedrunning and live orchestra can be in the same building let alone performing together

it's just funny how much I get angry for wanting people to have fun and to be more open minded

I think I successfully learned to use furnace, now to do the same with godot and goboscript and beeflang and asar and... maybe something a little less obscure as well

one day 🙂

"Have you even thought about the trees?!"

"What trees?"

"So you HAVEN'T!"

"I don't know what's happening right now."

"Hi, I'm a third person. I'm actually the worst, but I'm going to be nice about this Pikachu picture, that's pretty cute."

"I like this person now I'm going to be their friend."

everything seems fairly wrong and cruel right now. i don't think either Excessive Hope or Doom are useful. neither are really considerate to the world or the people around you, it's either just ignoring everything or giving up. be real and have each others backs. take care of each other

A letter dated November 9, 1970, from Charles M. Schulz to Joel Lipton: Dear Joel: I think it is more difficult these days to define what makes a good citizen then it has ever been before. Certainly all any of us can do is follow our own conscience and retain faith in our democracy. Sometimes it is the very people who cry out the loudest in favor of getting back to what they call "American Virtues" who lack this faith in our country. I believe that our greatest strength lies always in the protection of our smallest minorities. Sincerely yours, Charles Schulz
