working on a model of crash from quake 3 arena / quake live because she is very gender. this is my First Ever Actual Functional Character Model so that's kind of cool

armless and footless model of crash from quake 3. she wears a helmet, cropped armor and jeans

details on what these images are demoing in alt text

textures with sharp, angled corners. these are being drawn using nine-slice scaling from a texture that is smaller than any of these. nine-slice scaling works by cutting a texture into four corners, four sides and a center piece, not scaling the corners, scaling the sides only on one axis and scaling the center along both axes. in layman's terms it keeps a GUI texture with defined edges from being distorted too much

same demonstration but using source engine-style four corner rendering. this draws a corner piece in each corner of the shape and draws connecting rectangles between them. most source games use this to draw rounded rectangles

standard textured quads, scaling the default FTE checkerboard textures to fit the widgets' sizes and positions

i cannot believe that worked

quakec code to create 3 colored widgets (root, test1, and test2), append test1 and test2 to root and then remove test1. this is a test of my WIP GUI toolkit's ability to manage a linked list of widgets

the code shown working (test1 was green and it is not present, while root and test2 are blue and red respectively and Are present)

mimi will say shit like oh i want a UI toolkit for my quake mod since a bunch of things in the game i'm ripping off are very UI-dependent and then spend 2 hours making this happen in menuQC and then will be like yeah i can make vgui3

i do cover art btw. $50/cover!!! dm for inquiries or whatever

cover for The Opus by Zapidom depicting what seems to be reflections of bright green lights in a window combined with analog artifacts

cover i just made up for fun for an album that doesn't exist sorry. it looks like it'd go crazy though

the cover for moff's remix of wickerman's The Lonely. it's mostly pale red with a black band containing the title of the record and above it is a pixelated image of a massive building that blends into the background

this is what we're thinking

reddish-pink mare with similarly colored eyes staring into the camera with a look of Pure Disdain. she wears a strawberry red beanie and has deep crimson hair. her tail is a bit springy and her cutie mark is literally an asterisk

steam discussions users are no strangers to chatGPTing random bullshit and also being wrong all the time

Hikari, I believe you're conflating a standard game activation key with Steam's Web Application Programming Interface Key (API), which is a session-based developer backdoor - a permanent data pipeline in Steam's UI.

Linus Tech Tip you can hide the fuckugly parts of PHP by writing pleasant wrapper functions that don't suck

my binary reader class which reads a number of bytes from a stream and then unpacks them as binary data. for some reason every language with an 'unpack' function decides that the best solution for this is arcane codes composed of mysterious character sequences so all of the methods read a number of bytes and then unpack that number of bytes using hardcoded sequences (so L for unsigned 32-bit integers and e for double-precision floats and so on.) doing this leads to code that is actually tolerably readable

mimi superhell @superhell.org · 17/09/2026

to demonstrate it's kind of like invoking a python script. here i am barfing its output into a json file

php prybar.php ./test/asset/massn.mdl > guy.json

mimi superhell @superhell.org · 17/09/2026

bad example because it's string manipulation but this is the most algorithmically involved function in this project . this is just like python if it were tolerable

function that splits a path into an array containing file path and extension

zoo wee mama i don't even know what the fuck the thing on the right is doing

got bored and remade the hammer splash screen too

the janky Hammer World Editor splash from Hammer 4.x (the HL2 one) in uncomfortably high quality on a checkerboard background

mimi superhell @superhell.org · 13/09/2026

i do like my tools section at least. it looks alright i guess

icons for discord, firefox, radmin, signal, steam, VLC, affinity, GIMP, 4 different versions of valve's hammer editor, visual studio 2026, visual studio code, arch in WSL, blender, crowbar, VPKedit and VTFedit

030

mimi superhell @superhell.org · 13/09/2026

i at least wanted it to be high effort disrespect so i did custom icons for both it and vtfedit

boring icons for vpkedit and vtfedit (one is a pencil writing on a folder in blue, the other is a pencil writing on a missing texture in pink). they're pretty crisp!!

mimi superhell @superhell.org · 13/09/2026

made icons for hammer for every source game in my library!! if anyone has any requests as to games (goldsrc or source) lmk drive.google.com/file/d/1th2T...

a bunch of multi colored hammer editors themed after various source engine games
