this image is the full map for Frogmonster. it's just a png. more of it is revealed as you explore but there isn't even a "you are here" marker. I think this is cool :) Dark souls 1/2/3 don't have maps, at all. (i think you're allowed to do this, is what I'm saying)
Frogmonster's ingame map. It's fully abstract, with entire areas sketched out with blobby suggestions of things that might be in that area.

I didn't have an opportunity to take a pic, but a black/orange colored squirrel just like this one from google images just hopped past my window in case you were looking for a cool color scheme for your next oc
a squirrel on a wooden post/fence. its body is a dark black, but its tail is a gradient from bright brown to a very bright/whitish orange?

I'm a professional game dev, I've used linux all my life, and my personal
desktop still runs windows.  Part of it is that the underlying desktop APIs (as
in, "win32+dx12" as opposed to "wayland/X11+SDL(mandatory)+vulkan+pipewire" or
w/e) is much much more stable and mature. it's actually easier to get things
running using an emulation layer like proton, than try to write from-scratch
linux software, even from the internal perspective, when you have the source
code and everything.  So you develop for things once using windows, then if
needed you can do console ports or (god forbid) mac and linux ports. mac is
about equally as scary as a target platform, but I don't know enough about
modern mac game dev to say anything about it.  Weirdly, I would say the "windows
developer experience" (meaning visual studio and so on) are less good than their
linux equivalents, but that the gap has been closing as microsoft just wholesale
steals all the good stuff from the linux ecosystem. from visual studio, these
days, you can compile your code using clang and address santizer, and manage
your builds using cmake and git, and when I started _the_ reason to use linux
instead was to have access to those kinds of tools.

Ideologically, I'd prefer if linux won, of course :) but all the stuff above is
just the pragmatic consequence of wanting to do my job and all

* 1 cup mayo
* 1 cup whole milk
* 1 packet ranch seasoning (you can just buy premade ranch and replace all three but it looks like the actual bottled stuff is cost-cut)
* asiago cheese, grated
* parmesan cheese, grated
* tomato paste
* roasted garlic
recipe: combine that shit. ok seriously though to replace roasted garlic you can slice some fresh garlic, put it in a cold pan with some olive oil, and fry on medium until it just barely changes color. then add the tomato paste and let that fry a bit and then combine.

somebody should nicely ask, like, kvr audio or something to add a generative AI disclosure

The gimmick here is that each knob and the background are full perspective 3d scenes (and uhhh no shadows yet, put that on the list lol) why? uh........................

to be annoyingly specific, these companies have been training on wikipedia since even before LLMs. This is for queries; so chatgpt can under the hood replace "what's up with X" with the words "wikipedia says X is Y, now answer 'what's up with X'". it makes the AI 'better', I guess. but now it feels like we're letting all these companies reinvent Google AMP again. you know, the one thing google actually got in legal trouble over.

I'd rather just block them :p than try a "pay-per-crawl" thing. but idk, this is a tactical difference rather than a moral one probably

(augh bsky post limits) from the paper itself it lists a bunch of places people get datasets from. arxiv.org/pdf/2305.07489 i guess the thing I'd point here is that this has nothing to do with LLMs, which are the absurd dataset-size programs. but they may easily be reproducing their sins

stoated /w the paws @alloyed.me · 19/09/2025
did some digging and _some_ of the demixing models will tell you where their datasets come from, but UVR as an application looks like it's a "use any model you want! don't worry about it!" kinda thing so it's hard to give absolutes sigsep.github.io/datasets/mus...

yeah... i don't perceive my kink as especially weird but every once and a while a Certain Youtuber will make jokes regarding it and, then, their audience will make an active show about being mean to artists in the niche? it just seems so easy to me to say "well I don't like when it happens to me so I'll just not do it to somebody else"

experimenting with color silkscreen pcb panels: this was super cheap, just 12$ USD per 5 panels on top of the pcb i was already ordering, and it looks nice in person, but the process is a paiin compared to just normal laser cutting :(
