think i've sorta solved this dilemna from 11 years ago; the floor here is made from a total of 4 tiles. tons of overlap and offsets carry it a long way into seeming like there's no traditional tileset at all

Yes it does, but you have to take out the "ur-ine" first otherwise it will taste funny.

A day under the clouds. 90x120px #pixelart

Pixelart piece of mountainous landscape. It's spring, or early summer, afternoon, there's a thick layer of clouds above the horizon. In the front - just a field, or meadow, with high grass. Above the fields hills with the forests, with rocky tops like a crown on the head.

Looking through another art book I added to my collection. Now more than ever it feels important to me to own a physical copy of someone’s human-made art. Art that exists only online feels so ephemeral and fragile, easily lost. Support real human artists, buy their art.

Same. On top of the ethical and environmental concerns, it irks me that this "tool" also robs people of the joy of discovering something they might actually enjoy doing for real or even be good at, if they put in the effort.

I will never use any AI/LLMs for anything, in #gamedev or beyond. Not for search, not for coding, not for writing, not for generating assets. They are accelerating the #enshittification of everything & causing untold harm to real creative people in so many ways, as well as to the environment.

Trying out the NES palette with some doodles. #pixelart #gamedev

Top left is a woman with a red cloak covering her hair. She has a blue headband that could be a crown hidden underneath the cloak, and matching blue eyes. Top right is a woman in blue spandex. I drew a white 4 on her chest, so it could be Sue Storm from the Fantastic 4. Bottom left is an androgynous character with purple hair and a green top looking determined. Inspired mostly by anime characters. At the bottom right is a female character with light blue skin that is very glossy.

Tom Paris was the one character that I've been rooting for to get his comeuppance, but I like him better now that he showed a great deal of restraint when his crush got some fatal Vulcan horniness condition. Plus, now he is more selfless, less of a walking penis, than he was at the beginning.

illocello @illorain.bsky.social · 21/02/2026

just miss their half naked Islanders and Calypso music too much to relax. That he just rolled with it and joined their fun earned him my sympathy and respect. Mr Vulcan and Dark Kes (when she was possessed by some 200yo megalomaniac) are my favorites so far.

illocello @illorain.bsky.social · 21/02/2026

I was irritated by Neelix from the start, but I sort of sympathize with him by Season 3. He makes this relaxation app for the holodeck and every Tom, idiot and Harry has to modify it to human tastes, which turns out to be a Hawaiian theme. He made it specific to his alien tastes, but these ingrates

I've been bedridden for 2 weeks so I've made myself useless by binging on Star Trek Voyager and it's been a great watch! I think I like it far better than DS9. I like how everything works out in the end of an episode, no matter how bad shit looks in the beginning.

Pretty sure most did, but I like Gov Pritzker's idea of issuing refund cheques to Illinois residents. Might work if he can convince Trump that the cheques will bear his name and image too!

Thing is, though, the transformation we have seen across our continent over the past decade is undeniably more positive since we turned East. China is interested in actual partnerships. The West, not so much.

Many African countries, including mine, have a nationalized power grid, so the answer to your question is "all of them".

African companies *are* reaping the benefits. We get cheaper energy, which benefits our industries. And we don't get the paternalistic bs that comes part and parcel with any sort of western aid.

Godot and Defold work in different ways. End of it, Defold does tiny builds, esp for web. Exported games use less than 100 mb ( varies, of course) of Memory and for my specific game, 2-ish mb vs 11mb compressed with Godot.

I made a tool that makes retro anime sound effects. Meet AnimeVox! I made it for a game, but it's free to use. I'm using the forgotten (but popular in 80s japan) Schroeder reverb algo, and some wobble. If you find it useful consider supporting me on itch :) castpixel.itch.io/animevox

the anime sfx-making tool!
It's called ANIMEVOX, in big letters up top.
Then there's the controls:

In vertical pairs:
Left:
Pitch Rise
Rise speed

Reverb
Room size

On the right:
Wobble Speed
Wobble Amount

Tone Brightness
Volume

Next is a row of keys:
Randomize - randomizes the sound parameters
UNDO/ REDO - go back to parameters you liked
Export Wav - self explanatory, it saves a copy of the latest sound to your hard drive.

Then the fun buttons, with cute art styles:

IMPACT, sparkle, beam, powerUP, PON, BOOM, slash, woosh

Each produces a preset sound, which then goes through the fx chain.

Hope you enjoy it!
