This came to me in a vision

A Project Zomboid screenshot. A lawn gnome stands on the deck with items positioned to make it look like he's holding an M1911 pistol in oene hand, a bottle of gin in the others, and a pair of black sunglasses on his head.

theyre doing this to me later :)

Tree-like succulents in the sunshine at the San Diego Zoo's Safari Park.

A sunset with an almost burning intensity along a ridge of boulders and chaparral.

The moon, centered, with a radiant moonbow all around. The bright ring around the moon isn't a lens effect - that was real and visible with the naked eye. It was fucking bright! The moonbow kinda killed any sort of stargazing we had planned, but it was almost as bright as day once your eyes got used to it, which is cool in it's own way.

A 20-second exposure shot on an old first-gen Fuji X-100 camera, taken around 11 pm. The moonlight was so intense and bright in the cloudy sky that it was almost like daytime all night, far enough from the city lights for our eyes to adapt. A few stars peek out, piercing through the cloud and moonglow.

i'm still here, still working on my game full-time, but took a much-needed vacation with my wife last week, and been a lot less online in general lately.

Went to the zoo, went camping and saw a gorgeous moonbow, went to the model train museum, and had a really chill week at home.

You could reach out to Equip, they used a clean-looking version of the art for their album Golfworld a couple years back, and they might have a lead.

Wake in Fright With Big Naturals

Up late simulating orbits here what up!!

a screenshot from Windows 98 showing the Microsoft Intellimouse settings. An odometer sits at the top of the "productivity" tab showing total miles and feet you've pushed the mouse.

we have truly become a joyless society

Quick tip for people just learning Unreal Engine - if you see someone confidently giving advice that's a little too vague and nonspecific, rather than chase that rabbit hole, check their post history.

If you see them melting down when people push back on their ideas, just ignore all their advice.

needed a lens flare sort of effect for my distant terrain wind turbines. spent some time looking at refs and stuff but then realized I could just draw one in CSP and almost anything roughly shaped right would look good cuz it just needs to add a little "pop" from >2 km away

Thinking about the things that stock the shelves of the Willamette Mall in Dead Rising (2006)

Power is coming along! Got the basics of displaying power usage and switching modules on/off

like fine for one-off hit tests but they will fire constant overlap end events for a pawn moving well inside the bounds.

so i guess complex collision shapes in UE are just kinda-fucked unless you're running CCD, huh?

jon bois keeping that flame alive so one more generation can see it flicker

you're not a real touhou fan, you've probably played all the games

you can hide a little ducting in the walls, as a treat

Spent the morning modeling air ducts and a rooftop HVAC unit because I realized the walls in my game's store were too thin to plausibly provide enough air flow to cool a heavily-windowed sales floor *and* a walk-in cooler.

if you hate fishing games you are my enemy

The starting sketch someone tells the ai to turn into studio ghibli nonsense, or even the text of the prompt itself holds more artistic value in it than the final result.

But these cowards only express anything because they know they can hide behind the computer's plagiaristic imitations.

AI art has never helped people with disabilities create art. It lets people flood websites with stylistic counterfeits of popular artists and pretend it's theirs.

I always defined art as "a person using their skill and imagination to express anything." AI art still manages to fall outside of that.

Super low-poly wind turbines to act as a background prop for my game Anza (matched more or less to their real-world locations), only one mask texture for the red lights, rest is just a flat base color. All animation done in a basic WPO shader using per-instance randomness. #Anza #Gamedev #indiedev

being able to shoot raws and process them myself in darktable helps a lot. My biggest problem with iphone photos is they always do weird stuff with the color and white balance, and it's always a huge hassle to get them representative of the actual scene I'm shooting on hikes

i'm delighted that the fuji x100 I got for like $300 off the something awful SA Mart subforum in like 2010 is still going strong and capable of shooting stuff that outdoes my iphone most of the time a full 15 years later

went out and saw some plants this weekend

my guy washizu is a magician. Had a great week of mahjong starting with this awesome machine. More chapters to come of other things as well.

shitposts for nobody

anyway really loving DCSS's forgecraft magic school. It's super fun and dynamic, super-powerful too. Esp on some of the weirder species like Gnoll or Mountain Dwarf that can take advantage of a lot of its' unique mechanics like AC-based spell damage or the multi-school spells
