Hub is a very useful way to offload exposition that doesn't feel forced honestly. Not everything needs to interactivized, I agree.

We also lost a bunch of practices. For instance monkey island dialogue according to devs is "multiple punchlines to the same joke" and it's pretty fun use of the tool.

It's that time of the year where I fall sick and watch something either silly or easy weird. But I didn't get a chance to choose this time and brain is mush help help any recs are welcome.

For reference this is how I watched all fast and furious, all Evangelions, and twilight.

Not about the design of it all but the blender plugin that grabs google maps data was pretty useful for Bomber Looks Down. youtu.be/BE65zyZyZ9k

Nothing has described my art practice more than two tabs side by side:

1. Video about a turnip that commits tax evasion.
2. Article about Actionism in Russia.

I think I saw a couple going into specializations like dialogues or world-building in the wild.

I think the safely assume part is the problem. I don't believe we have the common foundations to assume, so we end up rehashing the foundations every time.

pixel art shows the numerals 1 through 80 over a background of genderfluid pride flag colors. each number is on a section of a ribbon shape creating a woven appearance, with rainbow and transgender pride flag colors and various textures.

Never had this many characters but until I absolutely need to decide (or in specific cases) all my characters default to they/them.

Very handy "tool" if your comm language is gendered.

Had one of those days where I need to research some art and this time it was old movie posters. Figured I'd post a highlight or four.

Just waiting for when White Lotus runs out of luxury resorts and focuses on Americans looking to save cash or "experience culture" and end up in a Soviet-style sanatorium.

Dunno how to tell you but it's just Korean sheephead towel thing. As usual with me had nothing to do with star wars.

Someone asked me what I've been up to these days and this picture was my only response. Yes. That's the extent of my productivity and learning.

I don't think I remember anything well enough to confirm which I played. I played only one though.

Does it work well on pc?
