I did a little blockout exercise today. Ignore the Z-Fighting, I'm not worried about that kind of thing here because this is a shape profile of the character, not a final model. #Blender #Mecha #HumanMade

given a quaternion rotation q, q² doubles the rotation √q halves the rotation qˣ scales the rotation by x as a rule of thumb - whatever operator you would use with vectors, like, say, addition, elevate it to the higher order operator (multiplication) to do the same thing on a quaternion
a table comparing vector operations to quaternion operations side by side, highlighting the similarities. the quaternion variants look almost identical, except they use the next higher order operator in each expression. ie: multiplication instead of addition. exponentiation instead of multiplication, etc.

the topic of “why does no one join voice chat anymore?” comes up like every other day and the answer is always just going to be because i don’t want to get called a million slurs and told to kill myself while playing a video game but maybe that’s just me

Don't bother seeing the new Endgame release. Just Google the 5 changes to the movie, sigh, and go on with life

Control Resonant is the most video game-ass video game I've played in a while. This is absolutely a compliment.

I hate that they send me an email to tell me to log in to make me verify I'm human to make me get a text code to make me click on messages and see "benefits changing" to make me click here to open the message to make me click here to view the PDF to tell me that nothing is changing

I think maybe the only way to prove to other people that I am not some AI slop shithead is by spending this year updating my older games instead of producing new ones. Anyone can slop out a game today. But how many of those games get updates?

It is July 31, 2007. Kanye just dropped "Stronger", and the girl you're interested in just said "I don't know who that Daft Punk guy is but I hope they appreciate the bump from Kanye" You don't know it yet, but the Financial crash of 2008 has already begun, and this was the first indication.

I have been rewatching all of TNG and this is all I can think about. Every single scene you can tell that the actors are smelling lunch on each others breath because IT HAD TO BE THAT WAY.

Atlantis: Lost Empire PS1 is already extracted, mapped and catalogued in my website (models, anims, levels, VFXs). Though in the first release only FF7 will be available to the public, because I want to see how things goes.

I played for three hours today and at one point got fucked so hard by random failures that I had to reload a save from over half an hour ago. I think I maybe got one hour of progress in, because I reloaded two hours of my life away just trying not to get fucked by random chance

Twitter Chuds calling it Gears of War Estrogen day but unironically give a load of trans game devs the keys to the franchise about the horrors of fascism and being cogs in the machine and learned helplessness and they'd probably go pretty hard

I'm experiencing a kind of nihilism where I feel that everything is so pointless and worthless that everything becomes equally as valid and enjoyable Why not lock myself in my room for six months and make some crazy game ideas? It's not like there's much reason *not* to do that.

From the sketchbook, ink, coloured pencils, acrylic details. Tube mazes, simple cubs' toys common in Aggregate space and on mostly agrarian unaligned worlds. The maze visible through the aperture is navigated by manipulating the inner tube, on which the maze is printed. #mereanimals #riverforge
Coloured pencil drawings of four toys consisting of an outer tube with an aperture and a slightly longer inner tube with a maze pattern, visible through the aperture.

This year has been a real pain for moderation. We explicitly said no genAI, yet we still have people thinking that doesn't apply to them or that we won't notice. The most egregious ones are the ones that generate the text which explains how their game adheres to the jam's themes.

I am crashing out so mega hard today. AI generated games are beating me in a jam. Players are downvoting me and telling me AI can do it better. All my life people told me my art was shit but I believed I could be better. Now a robot makes better art than I do, and people would prefer that.

They're gonna pay AI slop. It's clear now. Ai slop is winning by miles. So many AI generated games beating every single human game. S&box is dead and never stood a chance.

Where the fuck are the people who say "stickmen are better than ai"? Because they're sure as fuck not voting for my game. I am one of the MOST DOWNVOTED of the game jam. Social media is wrong. People love AI in the real world. They're voting a real human down and choosing the slop.

There are *seven* ai generated one bullet shooters just like mine in this game jam. All of them are higher voted than mine. I am the only 100% solo human and I am the lowest voted, losing to AI slop My career is over. Players don't just not care, they prefer the AI slop clones over mine.

A person's hands are shown using a manual wooden guillotine slicer to cut thin slices of a thick, cylindrical pink sausage on a dark, marble-patterned countertop.The slicer is made of light-colored wood with a built-in handle on the left, which the person holds with their left hand to push a diagonal stainless steel blade downward. Their right hand stabilizes the sausage under a metal safety curved guard. Several round slices of sausage rest on the wooden base of the slicer, while a white plate to the left is filled with more pre-cut slices. A green cucumber sits in the background, and a white dish filled with orange slices is visible in the top right corner.

This is what I realized before becoming a game dev myself. I looked at my Steam profile and saw that I had played multiple MMOs for as long as it takes to build a full game, or even earn a degree. I was playing these games like jobs, and I wasn't having fun at all. I was looking for purpose in life

I stopped playing Baldur's Gate 3 at the start of Act 3 because it wasn't done yet. Then they released like a whole fourth act worth of content for the game. Anyway, I redownloaded it and I'm thinking about playing the evil character this time

It's the fact that AI Sloppers think they actually *made* something that pisses me off the most. They act like they deserve to sit at the same table as me and my friends who bust our asses working on our Art just because they used $100 of compute to mimic us.
