I LOVE IT SO MUCH THESE ARE MY FAVORITE THINGS

I actually played around with it in a prototype unity project and its shockingly good, and can be layered over higher res baked GI. You can really see it with the flashlight 20 seconds into the clip. youtu.be/HI5G-L9uesc?...

This is what enlighten GI does, used in mirrors edge catalyst and available in unity (although it may have been deprecated a while ago if i remember right). I didnt like how catalyst looked compared to the original mirrors edge but 10 years later we could probably go way higher with its quality

You post a lot, do you have a massive backlog you've been posting or are you just that insanely fast at drawing???

ive had much of the same experience too (not specifically on bluesky but online in general). really ive just stopped looking online for connection, im lucky enough to have local IRL communities with people who are 10x more accepting than what youll normally find in online spaces.

Too many people think that simply having a queer identity is enough to make them an authority in any queer discourse, and try as hard as possible to use it to normalize their own bigotry. It makes me feel crazy.

I think the moral stuff is what pushed me to finally quit the twitter addiction that i already hated for years

the primal urge to try outsmarting music theory only to realize it isnt even that good

your model will still have to be unwrapped so it can bake everything into the object's textures but you will be able to project your label image onto the object as a layer that can be baked into the final texture. the texture of the text & labeling will still need to be created externally, though.

If you mean decals, base blender doesnt have good tools for it but the UCUpaint addon has a good tool for projecting decals if you want them to be baked onto an objects texture. But for that, the text has to be in another image (which hasnt been a problem in my workflow but IDK what ur used to)

Oh nice, dark ages is my favorite of the new doom trilogy, the other 2 rlly arent for me. Also interested in what u end up thinking about control, i love it alot but it took a long time (and switching to a controller) for the gameplay to click for me at all

Here's a version with some layers re-scaled and the face removed, cause it really does make a massive tonal difference, but I like both :3

this just means you need to spam multiple shorts every hour the every day with much more shocking, attention-catching intros! exactly how god intended people to create and consume video content. every hour. of every day.

Bryan Bones @bryanbones.bsky.social · 11/07/2026

and also you say goodbye to all the whimsy too!

Bryan Bones @bryanbones.bsky.social · 11/07/2026

What I mean is that if you decided to placate these guys and turn all the sosigs to humans, its either 7 years of RND, or you say goodbye to the stab/slashing, or the physics, or the melee deformation, or the dismemberment, or their ability to use guns, or their intelligence/difficulty, it goes on.

Bryan Bones @bryanbones.bsky.social · 11/07/2026

If its any consolation, I think the sosigs (honestly every feature in this damn game) are genuinely genius examples of the seemingly lost practice of knowing where to cut the scope of your goals without compromising on features & interaction & physics & consistency & mood, to preserve time & energy.

you can see it at 0:45 in the video that the vertex animation of the wave slamming down repeats so it is a loop and seems to have a kinda 'barbershop pole' effect. and the player never strays too far away from the wave on the Y axis, only it moves along the X

000

Bryan Bones @bryanbones.bsky.social · 11/07/2026

The wave looks kinda to me like a smoothly animated vertex animation loop with a texture scrolling fast over it? Its probably static in 3d space too and the player is just being moved along its mesh cleverly to keep from floating point wackiness. Thats how i'd attempt it, at least

Bryan Bones @bryanbones.bsky.social · 08/07/2026

because its a presumption that enforces the gender binary, not all feminine presenting ppl want to change pronouns and so we should only call them what they identify as, its rude as hell to just decide what someone else is

0110

Bryan Bones @bryanbones.bsky.social · 02/07/2026

Yup. The vr scene been static since 2019/2020, with the occasional banger like vertigo 2 and bonelab (and bonelab is essentially just, boneworks with more features) Only exciting thing on the horizon is h3vr2, and hopefully stresslevelzero becomes a game company again before the decade ends

Bryan Bones @bryanbones.bsky.social · 30/06/2026

Honestly theres probably alot more that i would like to squeeze in that list too, lol, this was just from glancing at steam. But the criteria here is mostly me having the conscious thought "wow that was fucking special" when the credits roll (or in the case of multiplayer, when i stop playing)

Bryan Bones @bryanbones.bsky.social · 30/06/2026

How about i give a list of my top 10 from the past decade Amnesia: the bunker The finals Re7 Hyper demon Boneworks Ready or not Celeste Omori Honourable mentions/technicalities (early access/remakes/identical sequels) System shock remake Destiny 2 Ultrakill Deltarune

Yeesh. Glad i stayed away from the platform like a plague

DAMN I did not expect the miracle musical crossover

Wonder how viable this is for games

Bryan Bones @bryanbones.bsky.social · 29/05/2026

Exactly what i thought, haha

Bryan Bones @bryanbones.bsky.social · 27/05/2026

Oohh boy. Leave it to capitalism to ruin everything i ever get excited about

Bryan Bones @bryanbones.bsky.social · 22/05/2026

all of these singles are fucking insane, absolutely your best work

Bryan Bones @bryanbones.bsky.social · 14/05/2026

thats how i feel about eternal tbh. none of the doom games really speak to me but i think dark ages is the one i hated the least

Bryan Bones @bryanbones.bsky.social · 09/05/2026

they take that viewpoint and hyperbolic actions/reactions out into the real world and then the real world becomes, in turn, more extreme because the people affected have to, in turn, adjust to that hyperbole, and it spreads.

010

Bryan Bones @bryanbones.bsky.social · 09/05/2026

at the risk of sounding pretentious, the internet is not "fake" but rather an extremely hyperbolic lens to view reality through. people who form their view of reality from this lens adjust their actions/reactions accordingly.

Bryan Bones @bryanbones.bsky.social · 09/05/2026

meanwhile the average 'human' on twitter, instagram, reddit, even youtube (most of what you see on these platforms is AI ragebait bots anyways!!!!!) is just vile, hateful, and repulsive. Albeit the plane bullet hole rule applies, you wont meet an internet addict IRL cause they never leave the house.

110

Bryan Bones @bryanbones.bsky.social · 09/05/2026

I would definitely give the advice that no one should make judgements about humanity or a model of an 'average human' based off of what they see on the internet. That's a one-way ticket to misanthropy. In my experience, the average human you meed in person is actually going to be nice and reasonable

Bryan Bones @bryanbones.bsky.social · 09/05/2026

TBH for me, more people than ever that I know IRL are just off the internet or use it way less. local community has been building shockingly strong. but i will agree that everyone who has power that matters, is helplessly addicted and making it everyone elses problem.
