Here's a recipe for somewhat convincing glass PBR material in @secondlife.bsky.social:

"Now excuse my, while I shed over all those pointless little buttons."

"What do you mean 'I have to work'? Can you be a little bit more specific?"

Tenet is a great movie. One of my favorites. I can't wait to see it.

I'm making an tree.

Spring is upon us northern hemispherians. But no matter where you live, this two-player Sakura Chess game (LI=7) will always look good on your wall in

Thanks for the heads-up. But is definitely was down.

r/Trans is still up. Let that be the canary in the coalmine.

YouTube video by Wrath of Math That's Right, it Goes in the 4 Hole!

Does this bsky thing do YouTubes? www.youtube.com/watch?v=VEQO... Yes it does. I made a meme on the subreddit /r/mathmemes and this guy Wrath of Math did an excellent explanation video on it.

NASA testing out a spherical prim coated with a PBR material, inside a reflection probe - August 5, 1965 @secondlife.bsky.social - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PAGEOS

Likely, the animation was made using some AI-mediated interlacing based off of these four frames. The HST probably had far too busy an observation schedule to take as many frames as that video has.

(I added a fresh new red-brick wall too.)

Obscure Sandbox Snapshot

The Obscure Sandbox is the oldest privately-owned public sandbox in Second Life (since 2005). Sadly, after 20 years, it was set for sale. I didn't want this little sandbox gem go to waste, so I purchased it. Come over and start building! maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/O...

Sorry for the carillon suddenly playing. I recorded the video at the top of the hour in the Altburg village on the Oaklynn region: maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/O... 😁👍⛪🔔🔔🔔

Want to learn how to play mancala? It's a really fun game for two. There 's a version with pebbles (LI=4, see video below) and one with only numbers (LI=2). Both have several color options. Check it out at FaMESHed: maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/F...

I just read in the news that there's an exodus of Twitter/X users moving to Bluesky. Welcome home, y'all! I also notice we can now upload videos. Let's test:

Hanging out with my homies at WarBug HQ

It's very Pythonesque indeed. Surely, Gilliam was influenced by Gaudi's art somewhere in his lifetime. On another note, I don't know how your Blueskype came up in my timeline. Maybe it's the crow, maybe it's me having a (molecular) biologist background. Definitely curious about your book.

Ok, boomer

End of a @secondlife.bsky.social Second Life Book Club Era, but maybe a through-start with more SL in the near future. Check out Drax' rezday stream, if you hadn't already.

I have reached my goal in Bluesky: 8 followers, 8 following and 8 posts. What shall I do next?

The original concept sketch for the alien in Alien is rather cute...

Lots of files needed to make a little game die.

So in the interwebs, I found a quick and nice method to determine whether a particular set-up for Lights Out is solvable or not. This one came from a card trickster and mechanical Calculator enthousiast, Jaap Scherphuis, website: www.jaapsch.net ...

Krator is a robot with 5 games on its belly. One of these games is called Lights Out. A customer pointed out that some start lay-outs for Lights Out were unsolvable and that there is an algorithm that can determine whether it's solvable or not...
