It’s Sindre Skaare @sndr.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Prison jumpsuit is probably the one. But I also have her in my head as a tacky leopard print enjoyer. 020
It’s Sindre Skaare @sndr.bsky.social · 09/10/2026If I ever find myself in the position where I can implement a pettable dog I will make it a hundred nodes deep dialog chain where the protagonist rationalizes to themselves how they COULD pet the dog but simply chooses not to. 040
It’s Sindre Skaare @sndr.bsky.social · 09/10/2026I’ve seen the clip of Biddy Blas and I can tell you were having a lot of fun with this. 000
It’s Sindre Skaare @sndr.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Ohh I see. Well in any case theres a lot of brands on the scene now like Fiio, Truthear, and Moondrop which are so called Chi-Fi which is affordable Chinese audiophile gear that strikes way above their price class. I see Moondrop has a wired one appropriately called the Old Fashioned 010
It’s Sindre Skaare @sndr.bsky.social · 07/10/2026I’ve heard very good things about the Fiio EH11 that’s retro styled and shockingly capable for a $30 wireless headphone. (Of course it’s 650kr here in Norway) I like that it has physical knobs on the side. youtu.be/01vJ7ds9KRo?...youtu.beIt shouldn't be this good. Fiio EH11 reviewYouTube video by Super* Review 110
It’s Sindre Skaare @sndr.bsky.social · 01/10/2026I think about them a lot too. I love how they built to-size physical models and photographed them. Unparalleled skeuomorphism. Made them feel like objects from another world contained behind some layer. 030
It’s Sindre Skaare @sndr.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Foundation. It’s like Tiny Glade mixed with Banished. You organically grow a quaint little medieval village, and it gives you lots of tools to decorate and add visual flourishes with. Lack of resources only constraints growth. There is no starvation, warfare, or disasters to deal with. 021
It’s Sindre Skaare @sndr.bsky.social · 21/09/2026C++ really does feel like someone’s being doing bonsai with a weed wacker. 100
It’s Sindre Skaare @sndr.bsky.social · 21/09/2026I’ve been in C++ land recently and been confounded by there apparently being two competing standards for private variables. Either a prefix m_Var or a trailing underscore Var_ (not to be confused with a leading one, _Var, those are reserved for global constants. Unless lower case, then it’s ok). 🥴 100
It’s Sindre Skaare @sndr.bsky.social · 06/09/2026Watching The Sopranos for the first time in 2026 is such a bewildering experience. Because you will be locked in on the drama and then suddenly get flashbanged by a meme. 050
It’s Sindre Skaare @sndr.bsky.social · 28/08/2026Interesting. My experience is the opposite, people wish they could use Blender but our animation pipelines are too tied to Maya/Motionbuilder. As for myself. Maya native of 10+ years I picked it up way faster than Max, Modo, etc. 000
It’s Sindre Skaare @sndr.bsky.social · 28/08/2026Feeling the same about that Rainbow 6 Siege XCOM clone they showed off at gamescom. Two games I’ve put hundreds if not thousands of hours into, smushed together at last. I’m a hog for slop. I’m owned.Shove it in my gullet. 020
It’s Sindre Skaare @sndr.bsky.social · 26/08/2026Oh hell yeah. 🙌 Easily the gamescom announcement I’m the most excited about 010
It’s Sindre Skaare @sndr.bsky.social · 15/08/2026At work I have a beast computer that can have multiple instances of Unreal engine open alongside Photoshop and Maya etc. One thing that consistently brings my PC to its knees and freezes it for minutes is opening a 30 page confluence document. 090
It’s Sindre Skaare @sndr.bsky.social · 13/08/2026I bet that they’re cooking the numbers by integrating Threads crossover stuff in Instagram, Facebook, and probably WhatsApp, and counting that as activity on Threads. 010
It’s Sindre Skaare @sndr.bsky.social · 05/08/2026I really appreciated that about Foundation. Had no adversity, only fostering growth. Felt like gardening. 010
It’s Sindre Skaare @sndr.bsky.social · 02/08/2026Picking away at some digital painting now that I only code and don’t do art at work any more. Trying an approach where I don’t use pen pressure opacity, single layer, and don’t use the color picker, only picking values straight from the color wheel. 020
It’s Sindre Skaare @sndr.bsky.social · 26/07/2026Oh I loved the old packaging. It had such a Yer Auntie With An Old Underutilized Arts Degree And A Copy Of Paint Shop Pro energy to it. The new one is nihilistically sauceless. 020
It’s Sindre Skaare @sndr.bsky.social · 20/07/2026Time to fall down the tiling window manager rabbit hole 000
It’s Sindre Skaare @sndr.bsky.social · 11/07/2026I’d guess it’s related to that hearing in the US recently where a congresswoman talked about private Minecraft servers being like a black market and should be illegal. 010
It’s Sindre Skaare @sndr.bsky.social · 09/07/2026That bugs and undercooked features ship because we don’t notice or are lazy/stupid. We definitely know. But the bug where the inventory menu is visually janky was deemed less important than the multiple ways it could corrupt your save file. You (usually) only see the bugs that are safe to ship. 021

It’s Sindre Skaare @sndr.bsky.social · 25/06/2026So that’s what his face is. I couldn’t make sense of it before. That said, I now have even more questions… 150
It’s Sindre Skaare @sndr.bsky.social · 13/06/2026Does the engine not have the option for using separate invisible geometry for collisions? 010
It’s Sindre Skaare @sndr.bsky.social · 11/06/2026This could actually be really cool minus the use of real money. A game where have to pay for every action, and you have a fixed budget to start with. See how far you can get before dying or going broke. …Wait. Thats just Blue Prince isn’t it? 010
It’s Sindre Skaare @sndr.bsky.social · 11/06/2026Oh hey I remember her! Looks like she’s eased up on her stance on pants as well. 000
It’s Sindre Skaare @sndr.bsky.social · 11/06/2026I’ve heard that an argument being used is that directors or investors need polished visuals to get an accurate representation of the final product. And like, why? Isn’t their *whole job* to be visionary? If they have no imagination or ability to extrapolate then why the fuck are they there? 050
It’s Sindre Skaare @sndr.bsky.social · 11/06/2026Using AI for placeholder art is so stupid. I often joke that the most reliable way to ensure an asset makes it into the final build is to name it _TEMP. But for real if it’s too passable in quality it’s way more likely to slip through. Placeholders should be gray boxes and pink comic sans by design 2102
It’s Sindre Skaare @sndr.bsky.social · 11/06/2026IIRC ol’ Bobby Kotick had a hot mic or was just musing out loud about how Neat it would be if they could charge per bullet or every time Mario jumped. I think it was just a rich dumb guy brain fart and not something that was seriously considered. 100
It’s Sindre Skaare @sndr.bsky.social · 02/06/2026The Cooking Simulator games have a pouring mechanism that looks pretty decent from the videos I’ve seen. 110
It’s Sindre Skaare @sndr.bsky.social · 22/05/2026Check out the Details View widget too. It works the same way but lets you pick multiple Properties, or entire Categories (my favorite). 010
It’s Sindre Skaare @sndr.bsky.social · 18/05/2026This guy makes great breakdowns of musical techniques. Great fun and very playful presentation. youtu.be/2VBHIxCJwVU?...youtu.bewhen the beat hits.. wrong?YouTube video by Synthet 1110
It’s Sindre Skaare @sndr.bsky.social · 16/05/2026Definitely got the look of a guy who’d back his car into a cop car. 010
It’s Sindre Skaare @sndr.bsky.social · 23/04/2026To be fair, a big part of the charm of those games is how incredibly high on its own bullshit they are while also having Goofy ahyucking it up in the background. 010
It’s Sindre Skaare @sndr.bsky.social · 19/04/2026Went looking in my work drove for the specific ones we used, but I can’t find them. But iirc they looked like this. Used substance designer to scatter brushstroke alphas with random grayscale values (and i think a slight gradient?). Also had some versions where all the strokes went the same way. 010
It’s Sindre Skaare @sndr.bsky.social · 18/04/2026I found that slope blur with a tiling brushstroke texture was surprisingly effective. 110
It’s Sindre Skaare @sndr.bsky.social · 12/04/2026I’m reading some summaries and reviews now, and wad da heyl 010
