just confirming for a friend is this how election reporting works?

Bluesky trending tab. 1st topic says "Farage wins Clacton seat".

BBC News headline. Title reads "Polls open in Clacton by-election". Highlighted is the publish date text of two hours ago. This is important information.

Same BBC News article. Text reads "Polling stations will remain open to anyone registered until 22:00, with the count taking place overnight." Highlighted is the text showing the time of polls closing being 22:00.

Screenshot of a clock, set to the time in the United Kingdom. Time reads 09:05. Notably, this is 13 hours before polling closes.

Finally figured out how to detect odd numbers in Java (so proud of myself!!!!)

Java code to detect an even or odd number.

Essentially, it works by dividing the number by two, and then comparing that value with and without decimal points to see if they are of equal value. Even numbers will always divide into two, whilst odd numbers won’t and will produce two distinct values when compared. Nobel prize in the mail.

Reading mode is genuinely so helpful sometimes; in this case because I really wanted to read @lambdaurora.dev's blogpost about plural terminology

This is just a summary of my personal experience attempting to update IDEA CE 2024.1 to 2026.1. Declaring CE dead and then... not, but still hiding it feels very intentionally misleading to me.

#mcartday Happy new year. I'm so grateful to everyone who made it so amazing. As is tradition now, I've created a year-in-a-grid of some of my work from the past year. I wish everyone a safe and beautiful 2026. <3 WWP

Grid of my works over the past year. Includes Abysm (soundtrack plus vinyl release alongside icon), ModFest Toybox branding and soundtrack, BlanketCon '25 website, soundtrack and casette textures, mod icons for Meret and Cantilever, a screenshot of Badger V3, lynndova branding, a fantasy botanical garden map created for the Hollow booth at BlanketCon '25, many banners and icons for Pridecraft branding, and 2024's year-in-a-grid.

I just tiled the model. It's possibly the messiest Blender project I've ever made, lol

Screenshot of a Blender project. A 3D model of a diorama of a voxelated world is tiled diagonally.

WorldWidePixel @worldwidepixel.ca · 19/09/2025

The banner is just a tiling of this model over the same background gradient. One last interesting one is the logo for Cantilever. It's actually a mix of two separate renders, in order to create both parts of the optical illusion. Once done, I just merged them! (they overlapped, so it was simple)

Four steps of the Cantilever icon design process. On the left, the two separate renders required to create the illusion, and on the right the final version with and without the final background.

A good example of the Spirit-style design process is with Snapper. I originally just did a rough sketch in Paint before trying to recreate it as best as I could in Minecraft. After that, I just 'traced' the build into Blockbench manually and exported the OBJ to Blender.

A collage of the Snapper branding design process. From top left down: Snapper's colourful banner of an isometric diorama, the icon which has the same contents but only displayed once, a Paint sketch of this diorama, a Minecraft build of it, a Blockbench render of it, and lastly the transparent version of it, with no blue gradient background,

WorldWidePixel @worldwidepixel.ca · 19/09/2025

All Spirit-style icons are created in Blender, rendered isometrically, and then have their backgrounds added separately in Inkscape. This allows me to fine-tune the key colours long after the central element has been finalised.

Hi!! Sorry for taking so long, and I'm so happy to hear you like the icon!! The design of Hollow's icon is rather simple; it's what created my design system of isometric and vibrant icons, which can be seen across all Spirit projects.

Be careful what you wish for.

His hair is orange/red, and he is wearing a striped beige... I apologise but the best way I can describe it is femboy shirt and brown suit, alongside white pants and brown runners.

This idea just came to me and I have no idea if it's good (my experience in character design consists of a sprite for a character in a game that never saw the light) What if you took inspiration from 70s-90s music videos?

This is Dani. They have short brown hair, a pink woolly sweater, and teal jeans. They are also wearing white runners. The illustration of them is in pixelart format.

For this #mcartday, I can't actually show anything in particular. Mainly, it's because the project is still a secret. As is trademark with me, it's a soundtrack- and might be available by next #mcartday...

Sounded fun, and wanted to throw my hat in the ring. It's not in any way SVG, but it was rather fun to make in Blender. Well, the gear was made via SVG so I do have a flat thing, but it's not very visually interesting. It's fun to try things, though!

I find my skin's existing eye layout- well at least for me, a defining factor about the skin. It's.. special to me. Even though just adjusting it by one pixel makes it look like.. well any modern skin, I just don't have it in me to change it- I love it too much.

000

WorldWidePixel @worldwidepixel.ca · 29/01/2025

If I take a look back at my skin's eyes, this pattern is broken. They're positioned above-centre, which leaves only two pixels for forehead shading. This poses a problem. You see, I've had this face layout for years at this point. Four or five, I'd say?

000

WorldWidePixel @worldwidepixel.ca · 29/01/2025

It's the eyes. They're all in the same place. Every single one had their eyes either in the direct centre or below. At first, this confused me- but I've realised why this is the case. It's so one can put more attention to detail in the forehead and hair.

000

WorldWidePixel @worldwidepixel.ca · 29/01/2025

First, I did what anyone would do and checked the first page of NameMC. A great way of finding the latest in the exact same goddamn skins over and over. Let's take this random selection, for instance. Do you notice a pattern? Not the layered hair or similar shading- but something else.

000

WorldWidePixel @worldwidepixel.ca · 29/01/2025

The skin findings. A couple weeks ago, I tried redoing my Minecraft skin's hair. It went... not the greatest, to say the least. So, I decided to do some research into why it looked so... off.[ Turns out- there's a pattern in all of this and I find it quite interesting. 🧵
