Graveyard, Eglwys Sant Hywyn, Aberdaron. #scape 📷 #photography
View up a hill of rather dried-out grass scattered with gravestones leaning this way and that. At the back is a wall so low against the tall grass that it almost functions as a ha-ha and beyond that modern houses, one white, the others pebbledash, and a telegraph pole with wires hanging across. The sky is blue with a swirl of hazy cloud.

Under trees yesterday. 📷 #photography
A substantial tree on the left of the picture leans across short grass with low piles of fallen leaves towards a low wooden fence. On the other side of the fence are far smaller, younger trees. Sunlight is streaking the grass.

An impressive row of seaside bins at Caernarfon for #ThursdayBins 📷 #photography
A view across water to a three-storey pub painted black and white, with tall medieval walls next to it. In front is a stone jetty on which a young family are standing, and lined up along the back of the jetty nine green bins plus a further ten of assorted colours. A raincloud is arriving overhead.

Ely Cathedral, view from Cherry Hill Park. #scape 📷 #photography
A view across an uneven field of longish grass, dried stalks and fresh green mixed together, over an assortment of trees (one with its leaves browning) to a couple of tall, pale old houses and, looming over everything, the west tower of Ely Cathedral and its south-west transept, shining in pale sunlight. The sky is a hazy blue-white with a couple of fluffy clouds.

Some of your Asset Store packages have been Itemized!

Hi there,
 
We’re pleased to let you know we have created “Itemized Objects” out of your Asset Store packages, as outlined in this Discussions post. Excluded packages and items won't be available in Unity Spark, in the Unity Editor, through the Unity CLI, or in other future ways users can discover Itemized Objects.
 
Note: Changing your inclusion status may take a day or two to fully reflect in all of our systems.
 
Thank you
– Asset Store Team

If you have free asset store packaged, unity automatically added them to their AI "spark" thing In typical LLM fashion, it’s opt-out instead of opt-in! You can manually remove them (and you should)

The weekend starts here! Love the patterns that breaking waves leave behind, whether it's on a beach or in the sea. This is from October 2023. #DronePhotography #DJIMavic3Pro #Iceland
Layers of waves meet a river on a black sand beach. The breaking waves make nice patterns in the water.

My autumn shop update went live yesterday and there's a zine in every single order. 🥹🍂 It makes me so happy, it's what I loved making the most and zines are actually what I want to focus on in the future so yay! 🧡 Thank you/Merci to everyone who already placed an order, it means the world to me.
A photo of a white hand (mine) holding a small zine. The cover is a photo of an orange autumn leaf. Title is "Autumn Intelligence" at the top left corner. "A zine by Charlotte Friday" at the top right corner, and "published in october 2026" at the bottom.

A little corner of my bookshelf with some recent secondhand finds. 📔🐿️🍄 Sometimes I miss posting random daily photos like I used to on the other app.
A photo of a stack of five vintage nature books (mushrooms, trees, animals, birds and plants) on a bookshelf, with a sculpted miniature acorn and a sculpted miniature frog on top. There are bigger books on each side too (mostly vintage books about birds and books by Caro from Woodland).

I got bored of the classic orthographically-projected-normal-particles-on-water-surface approach and started looking into more "realistic" approaches 👀 This is just a test with gizmos, once I get that set up with shaders and render passes I promise I won't be neither chill nor normal about it

uk gov has put guidelines out to get its staff to use ai less cos it’s an expensive resource, they say stop thanking chat bots cos it costs tokens. If the main target customer for these companies say it’s too expensive to use for everything then them companies are going to make even more of a loss!

An incredibly tough read. We flagged concerns about the effect the redundancies would have on projects during our own consultations, it’s bitterly disappointing to see this. I sincerly hope that those backers get their games, we were working hard to deliver them before being let go.
