Mhmmmm Toy Story was like 30 years ago :')

Nah Terraria Elseworld (otherworld?) fell through. It was going to be a spin-off/sequel before they cancelled it and later announced Terraria 2. T2 is still in development I believe (and pray).

The city of Zeal in Chrono Trigger. Such a beautiful world if they could just ditch the magical racism

The demon door in TLC by the pond in the Heroes Guild. I think this might have actually kickstarted my fascination with environment modelling…

Eh stylized assets aren’t necessarily easier or less time consuming than PBR. It’s not difficult to make a game look realistic these days at least to a reasonable amount of scrutiny. Also this is a large developer with a lot of funding so EA isn’t going to cut corners in the art department with one of their flagship IPs. You also can’t just reallocate artists to work on mechanics, these are entirely different departments and the process of hiring/firing workers dynamically doesn’t gel well with a production pipeline.

My Vyvanse is the strawberry chewable kind. I still forget to take them sometimes though.

Shockingly familiar to early days Reddit. There was a sweet spot before Reddit got as big as it is today. I can’t tell you when it was but it was there somewhere.

I believe they have recovered honey from Egyptian tombs that was thousands of years old and still edible. From recollection the syrup is too viscous for bacteria to colonise.

Not the distillery! 😭

Another example of “strong men” being unimaginably weak.

I think this is precisely why I have such a visceral reaction to blurring swear words and using euphemisms like ‘unalive’.

Language naturally evolves over time but I really don’t like the idea that it’s being disproportionately influenced by social media companies and their shitty algorithms trying to please advertisers. Yuck!

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. If your site doesn’t work on Firefox your site doesn’t work. As web developers your job is to develop applications for the web not for one specific browser. This goes double for essential services.

This is probably how I’ll die tbh

To quote Wikipedia:

Asbestos is an excellent thermal and electrical insulator, and is highly fire resistant, so for much of the 20th century, it was very commonly used around the world as a building material.

It was also later discovered to cause lung cancer, mesothelioma and also because of its fibrous structure; it breaks into lots of tiny little microscopic needles when agitated. Those little shards get inhaled and poke tiny holes in your lungs which causes Asbestosis (kind of like Emphysema for smokers).

I’m so so sorry to do this to you. Double battles were introduced with Ruby and Sapphire… 22 years ago…

Same. Only reason I lock it when I leave the house is so my cat can’t crawl around on the keyboard and fuck with shit.

This is also why a lot of beer and other alcohol is bottled in brown bottles. The brown glass blocks some amount of UV exposure which can affect the final product over time.

Green glass has no such benefit though. Just looks nice.

MMOs to MOBAs to BR… On and on and on. Publishers being 2 years too late to a trend and trying to jump on the train after it left the station fucking over their existing fanbase in the process. The MBAs in charge of these decisions should be fired… Out of a cannon into the sun.

Datums

As someone who is also awkwardly treading the line between being a soulless hack and trying to get my work noticed by literally anyone: please edit your top comment with a link to your game.

I mean it. I can’t even muster the courage to post my renders to Instagram without feeling like some desperate influencer goof.
