Last week was my last week at Iron Gate - After three years working on Valheim, it's time to start looking for new adventures elsewhere.

If you know someone looking for a kickass Tech Artist/Programmer, hit me up. Happy to work either remote, or on-site in Stockholm.

๐Ÿ”ฎFinished up this 'Crystal Ball' shader project yesterday. โœจ

What started off as a quick weekend project quickly expanded (as usual), but I'm very happy with it!

I do each exercise in a set for 40 seconds each, and then the next round it'a for 30, and then the final round 20. I repeat for each set.

I just looked around on YouTube till I found a workout I liked, so there may be other formats ๐Ÿ˜Š

Shouting about time drop workouts as they've made working out soooo much easier for me!!!

I always struggled with the next set (can I do this again?!?!?), but knowing the time has dropped makes it so much easier. โœจ

Oh my fucking god.

It looks like Israel murdered eight Palestine Red Crescent Society workers, a UN employee, and five civil defense staff.

They crushed up and buried entire ambulances and civil defense vehicles in the fucking mass grave.

I finally finished this little project a few days ago! โœจ I was inspired by the early watercolour pokemon art by Ken Sugimori. It's a combination of a standard and post-process material.

being an indie bookseller in the helltimes has felt both very stable and very stabilizing, and part of me wishes everyone could be on my side of the counter for a little while, because I think it would help some of you be a little less cynical and doomy right now. so here is my VERY anecdotal data:

The vfx were the hardest as I wanted them to match the 'flatter' look. I tried to lean into the more exaggerated proportions in the older art. ๐Ÿ˜„

Genuinely couldn't believe this figure until I saw the Financial Times confirm it using Meta's own financial reporting data

For THIS

$100 billion is genuinely the kind of money you could "do the impossible" with. Crack nuclear fusion. HIV vaccine. Universal flu vaccine

And they spent it on this
