Got a label printer for work and this is what prints when you turn it on for the first time.

The "ok but how much AI is OK?" conversation is so weird. Unless you're rolling your own LLM based on exclusively public domain material (which literally no-one is doing), any LLM is based on widespread theft. So the question is actually "how much theft is OK?" None feels like a good answer to me.

I really don't think there's any game (including my own) that I'm looking forward to more than A Permanent Echo

Three More Years@threemoreyears.bsky.social · 5d ago

For #screenshotsaturday I thought it'd be a great opportunity to post a #wip of some of the ghost-in-the-machine characters in "a permanent echo". Special thanks to artist anto_nie (of the Potvory RPG) for consulting on the slavic folklore for this.

for the last 5 minutes, i've been trying to explain vaccination to my cat, which has been going roughly as well as trying to explain it to the most annoying people on the internet.

we got our flu+covid shots yesterday. it didn't knock us out this year, but we're both feeling a little run down. my poor playful cat is very confused about why we're all under blankets on the couch and ignoring her during her normal morning playtime.

‘Radical’ comes from a Latin word meaning "root." Because roots are the deepest part of a plant, ‘radical’ came to describe things understood as fundamental or essential. ‘Radical change’ was a change at the root of a system.

it took way more work than I anticipated, but I got all my DSP and virtual oscillators down to 2ms per frame at peak! the modular analog synth inside Godot is officially good enough to start building the rest of it!!!

am i giving my cat a treat whenever i work on my synth game so that she will come to experience joy whenever she hears a sawtooth wave fed into a lowpass filter like i do? yes. is this wrong? i don't think so.

I'm as shocked as anyone to discover that post-reunion Dinosaur Jr. of all things is turning out to be my happy music, but this is really working for me today.

Today it's not a doomscroll, it's a schadenfeed.

millennials love Deep Space Nine because it's set at the mall

Pumpkin/gourd/fall adjacent post #5!!! I am naming this lil mouse Pip because he is special and i love him. #pixelart, #art, #Sabuart

the performance hit from just calling a function at all in GDScript is wild

i'm trying to decide whether to make the pragmatic choice to make the artistic choice to run my Godot analog synth at 11025 Hz to keep oscillation far enough beneath the framerate that i can add as many channels as i want without thinking about it later.

recommending the next generation to people is fun because you have to be like listen the pilot episode is very strange. then the next episode is absolutely terrible, probably the worst in the show's history. but then things start to look up, right? no. the next episode is racist

there are so many colors! there do not need to be this many colors, and I'm tired of pretending that's not the case. but i think i've narrowed it down from 16 million to 32 that are acceptable for this project.

Have been trying to find the words for this for the better part of a year. I feel very strongly about this.

History has proven that Windows will never get better. Once you accept that, the practical and ethical need for alternatives becomes crystal clear. It is not an easy ask, but a just future cannot involve Windows. aftermath.site/we-must-kill-w...

PATRICK STEWART singing & dancing on the bridge of the USS Enterprise-D in 1991 as a birthday surprise for STAR TREK creator GENE RODDENBERRY. (never intended for public release this clip eventually surfaced as a DVD bonus feature)

a little pixel art Patrick Stewart I just drew to cope...

One of my earliest memories was watching Encounter at Farpoint when it premiered. For literally as long as I can remember, Patrick Stewart has been a moral compass and a light in the universe. It's all of our jobs to carry that forward now.

i got basic analog synthesis emulated in godot now. i don't think i'm ever coming back from this.

ordinarily the guy who speeds around my neighborhood loudly in his ATV makes me crazy, but he just revved his engine perfectly in time with the intro to The Damned's New Rose and it was pretty great.

i think the games industry should have studios that exist

We're looking for a graphic designer/illustrator to join the Hello Sunshine team for a few months, starting ASAP. There are a lot of artists here looking for new opportunities so I'd be super grateful if y'all could share this call with your followers! www.redthreadgames.com/graphic-desi...

yes i will start coding any moment, I just need to find the perfect folder structure first.

Last weekend to judge #IFComp games!

this is also why you can’t trust what you see on any platform as representative of broader thought or consensus. you are being shown what they want you to see, and now more than ever, that conforms to exactly one worldview

Meta took down the No Kings instagram; TikTok banned the Musk documentary account for supposedly violating its political posting policies. A reminder that platforms are owned by the wealthiest of people, control the means of media distribution, & put their thumbs on the democracy scale as they wish

does anyone else feel like Blender 4 runs significantly better than Blender 5? or is this one of those things where my esoteric laptop setup makes me the edge case again?
