410 mi later - time for a new pair of running shoes the difference of the state of the cushion between the new and the old one is pretty mind-blowing

Picture featuring to white nike running shoes on top of one another
- the bottom one is the older pair which after 410mi of usage has its cushioning slightly broken/compressed
- the new one at the top features no tear or usage

spending an ungodly amount of time on Figma to draw these to illustrate some patterns for my upcoming blog post 5 more to go

screenshot showcasing the figma canvas displaying 3 frames

- one containing an isometric depiction of a "paper receipt post-processing effect" floating on top the scene it stylized: a 3D blue cube slightly pixelated to simplify the output
- one containing an isometric depiction of a "pixel pattern" floating on top the scene it stylized: a 3D blue cube slightly pixelated to simplify the output. The pattern changes the pixels (from dark to light) to: pure white, white with a blue circle in the center, blue with a white circle in the center, pure blue.
- The final one showcases the UV coordinates of an ASCII texture containing the characters "." "," "=" and "@" displayed on a pixelated grid
