Man normie Youtubers playing Tomodachi Life are the dullest people on earth. Hue hue here's my clique of coworkers i made. Guys guys, Markiplier on my island OMG. "Is this the bite of eigh--" Fucking YAAWN! At least the furry ones i've seen are happy to let chaotic relationships & nonsense happen.

The stick man is always objectively better, because it hits at what you actually want, lets the artist's imagination wander with appropriate parameters and as a bonus - you had a direct hand in the pic's conceptualisation. GenAI robs both sides of imagination and that's fucking miserable imo.

If you are commissioning an artist, and want a specific pose, don't run to genAI to try and make it for you. Draw a stick person. Stick person poses are beloved among all artists. We can see exactly what you want. Do not fear sending the stick person. The stick person is magical.

I finally played New Vegas, and man it really is the tightest written of the 3D games isn't it? Sure, 3 is ugly and bad, 4 is prettier and bad, and 76 makes Mr House's ultimate vision of a sleazy profit-monger's paradise a reality irl (and is bad), but nothing nails the narrative like New Vegas did.

Eurovision sound engineers did a fantastic job from what i saw in the score results (refused to watch)... Moroccan Oil really is putting its money where the peoples' mouths are. Glitchy AI boo masking tech. We almost couldn't hear them this year over the canned cheers. Almost...

Aww man, i had to renew my UK passport, which has unfortunately meant getting the new post-Brexit "blue" one. Don't get me wrong, the black/gold cover looks nice, but the insides are DRAB AS FUCK. My old EU one had boats and UK history in it - it was pretty. The new one has basic arse stencils.

I wonder if they've taken a shot of the Moon and Earth in full with a frame of the window or something. I'm sorely missing an establishing shot for real human scale lol Still, it's nuts to think this is just a run of the mill phone video. The awkward, blurry, shaky zoom is very Firefly coded too :3

Absolutely incredible. NASA Astronaut Reid Wiseman, who commanded Artemis II, took this footage from the far side of the Moon with his iPhone. Watch with sound on.

The power of Ctrl L in Blender is unparalleled. Ever tried to select all the vertices of a hideously dense and overlapping bit of a mesh without it? Horrifying, and i'm never going back. It even selects separate "objects" within a joined mesh. Need an eyeball? Need an awkward hair strand? Ctrl L.

I've got that coding beginner's C# Unity confusion and existential terror headache lol๐Ÿ˜ญ I'm hoping just like in Bloodborne, if i keep attacking this ugly bitch of a coding boss with my squishy brain power i'll eventually nail it... ... But continuing the metaphor - now I need to grind blood vials.

...So i just discovered Blender's fun little Fake Users "feature." Why on EARTH do i need to flag individual materials & actions (animations) in advance of saving so that Blender knows that i do in fact want my materials & actions saved WHEN I FKN HIT SAVE?! AAAAAH! (Thank goodness for autosaves!)

All those moral crusaders jumping off ChatGPT in favour of Anthropic's brand of vomit really are all "That Hades guy, man he was truly horrible to Hercules, thank goodness Jafar has a sane and reasonable set of principles."
