Recently saw someone looking at a cooking book, but they had to triple the proportions... They took a picture of the recipe and asked chatgpt to update it 🫠

I built this very janky pen plotter recently, and have been having fun drawing various things with it (mostly contour maps) youtu.be/qyNWDzO6kKQ?...

Yeah that's definitely not a subject where there is one absolute rule, and especially with games that extend their playtime by being hard, your statement does make sense. It's just the idea of "I don't have enough time, please make this artwork/piece of media go faster" that feels weird to me

(just to be clear, I completely agree with your point for some games, and for difficulty settings as an accessiblity feature)

Watching short versions of a classic movie, or listening only to a condensed version of an album feels more like late stage capitalism stopping us from enjoying art rather than saving time.

Vincent Aalbersberg @vincentaalber.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Is it always synonymous though? For some games, sure, but for others, time might be part of the experience. Making things shorter because we don't have lots of time is not always the solution, IMO.

That's considering AI genuinely makes a reflection of you when you prompt it... It's even worse in my opinion, you get a standardized corporate version of "you" that removes what could make it interesting

That looks really fun to play with! Lovely work

Maybe the option to use different types of noises? I have more experience with non-realtime clouds, but you can typically play with different flavors (although I assume mixing noises might get more expensive). Also, using VDBs could be interesting?

1) Internship is about learning, which you can't do without making mistakes. So it's a necessary step, and good in the long run 2) Checking an intern has done a task correctly takes a fraction of the time of doing it, whereas the only way to check if an ai is correct is just doing proper research

Vincent Aalbersberg @vincentaalber.bsky.social · 29/05/2026

If you can't rely on it, when is it ever useful? Are you satisfied learning something that you know may be false?

As a coral reef ecologist by training, this is the single-greatest heartbreak of my otherwise blessed life: the extinction of the greatest ecosystems on earth, in our lifetime, with full knowledge it would happen, because humans love fascism & tat more than life 💔 www.theguardian.com/environment/...

I use stencils on the "scanner effect", where interactable objects are not affected, for the selection outline effect, as well as the "observation mode" where you can check out a specific object 😊

Progress on the detective game experiment made with @godotengine.org Using custom post-process, a secondary camera for the magnifying glass which can reveal hidden clues and to be able to study objects seamlessly... It's been fairly smooth so far, I'm enjoying the Godot experience 😊

Second @godotengine.org experiment, this time working on interior lighting, trying to mimick detective games... I found it a bit harder than I expected to get decent results, but it's starting to look all right I think Got around to playing with stencils which is fun 😊(work in progress)

3/ Visual shaders seem okay, with some limitations (lacks some basic nodes in my opinion, kinda hard to access bread and butter nodes like math operations with the search bar) 4/ Particle systems seem okay, although a bit basic ? Looking forward to playing more with it

Vincent Aalbersberg @vincentaalber.bsky.social · 22/09/2025

Day 1 of playing with @godotengine.org , focusing on its rendering capabilities: 1/ It definitely can look really good 2/ Standard material is absolutely great, so many features ...

Vincent Aalbersberg @vincentaalber.bsky.social · 13/09/2025

Really nice! A fun addition could be faking the light hitting the geometry using the depth/normal buffers, to optimise having a ton of them (not too close though)

(2/2) C'est pas anodin non plus, surtout quand on voit le rêve que c'est pour les régimes autoritaires

Vincent Aalbersberg @vincentaalber.bsky.social · 11/07/2025

(1/2) C'est assez vrai, mais les "créations" méritent d'être étudiés/critiqués. Au-delà de la laideur subjective, l'enjeu à moyen terme c'est l'uniformisation de la culture visuelle, perte de créativité graphique, stagnation complète de la création...

Back to making some art, started a set of houses for In the Same Boat, aiming at very stylized shapes, low poly and vertex color only (a triplanar noise texture adds a bit of detail) 🙂 #Blender #Unity

That's not right though, I guess it's to simplify rootless voicings to comp, like you can play a Cmaj7 over a Dsus13 because it has the same notes apart from the root, but without context it's just false (and if she's confused with enharmonic chords, this will make things worse) 🎵

The National Park Service has removed "T" and all mention of transgender people from the Stonewall National Monument. Trans women were some of the most influential activists behind the Stonewall movement and what followed. 3 articles of clothing laws were why raids happened. Erasure.

“By the time of Stonewall...we had 50 to 60 gay groups in the country. A year later...1500.”
Before the 1960s, almost everything about living openly as a lesbian, gay, bisexual (LGB) person was illegal. The Stonewall Uprising on June 28, 1969 is a milestone in the quest for LGB civil rights and provided momentum for a movement.

Would you use that rather than a bevel modifier (controlling individual edges' bevels with bevel weight) ? It seems much harder to control the size here, as you only see the result after two steps. Cool idea nonetheless 👀
