No - vision is their duty only if we demand it. You are not a political victim, I am not a political victim. There is not going to be a political messiah. There is just us. And governments are the very essence of our collective action, and in Australia, have been since Federation.

A few years back I concluded anger is a drug. it's a great way to feel invincible for a time, but too much and the low makes you feel empty. Sometimes I look at chronically angry people and wonder if they're in some zone where anger or fury is the only way they have to feel alive.

so I've been working on a downscaler for playing 3D games that were supposed to be played at a lower resolution, but there's still some very slight imperfections that are bugging me...
A snippet of a scene from Ocarina of Time, rendered at 1440p resolution. The 3D models are pretty distinct from the pre-rendered background that they're rendered on top of.The same snippet but downscaled to match the resolution of the backdrop. The scene looks a bit more coherent. Unfortunately, the downscaling introduced a very slight blur effect to the backdrop as well.

I knew my stash of googly eyes would be of use one day #MakeaTerribleComicDay2025
An analog, three panel comic sequence created using yellow sticky notes. It features a goose/duck like creature that has literal googly eyes. As the sticky notes progress, it looks as though the goose/duck is coming closer to the viewer by having the bird shape itself—as well as the googly eyes—grow larger in scale.

everything seems fairly wrong and cruel right now. i don't think either Excessive Hope or Doom are useful. neither are really considerate to the world or the people around you, it's either just ignoring everything or giving up. be real and have each others backs. take care of each other

A letter dated November 9, 1970, from Charles M. Schulz to Joel Lipton:

Dear Joel:

I think it is more difficult these days to define what makes a good citizen then it has ever been before. Certainly all any of us can do is follow our own conscience and retain faith in our democracy. Sometimes it is the very people who cry out the loudest in favor of getting back to what they call "American Virtues" who lack this faith in our country. I believe that our greatest strength lies always in the protection of our smallest minorities.

Sincerely yours, Charles Schulz

Pixel artists! 🗣 When posting your art on here, if you don't want it completely mangled, export at 16x the original size (or a multiple of 8) because JPEG processes blocks of 8 pixels. At 16x, the artifacts are very minimal, and similar to JPEG quality of 100%, even with a quality of 20%!
Some pixel art scaled up 10x, showing the excessive JPEG artifacts introduced. JPEG quality is 80%.Some pixel art scaled up 8x, showing the less aggressive JPEG artifacts introduced. JPEG quality is 80%.Some pixel art scaled up 16x, showing the extremely minimal JPEG artifacts introduced. JPEG quality is 20%.

these 2 functions are the first thing I add to any godot project. they scan all the children of a given node (the 2nd arg) and return the first child/all the children for which - if the first arg is a type, the child is of that type - if the first arg is a predicate, it returns true for that child

Piracy does help game preservation, that's an undeniable fact, you shouldn't trust companies to do it all. But it does not excuse being a dick.

I love this place, but the nagging feeling of how the devs plan to make money from this is on my mind nonstop. I know they sell custom username domains but I can’t help but feel they’re going to need something more drastic down the line.

I am amazed that with all of the Peach pixel art I've seen that nobody has done a Zelda sprite yet. Anyways, here's my resprite of princess Zelda!

at bsky we boldly go where no one has gone before #pixelart
Left: Princess Zelda's sprite from The Legend of Zelda for the NES. 
Right: A new sprite of Zelda, using the same colours and dimensions as the original.
The picture is presented in an identical format to the recent Twitter trend of Princess Peach sprite redraws.
