perfect representation of the vicious asininity of our persecution and the banal mechanisms of its implementation: these regular-ass people, the staff at the dmv, dutifully inflicting whatever absurd degradation they're told, no matter how blatantly, cruelly pointless. would you do that? will you?

do you think you could drink a 12-ounce can of soda of your choosing every day for a week for 76 million dollars? the catch is that during that week, you’re not allowed to travel to columbus, georgia unless you already had plans to or you just want to

Marathon, Reprise I’d been feeling all kinds of uneasy ahead of the currently-ongoing Stress Test for Marathon (2026), in that I had such a potently bad experience last couple...

I wrote about Marathon (2026) again, trying to figure out why it pushed me to tears.

once again reminding everyone to funnel your emotions into organizing and building solidarity in your community and not pointless doomscrolling

A screenshot of three 3D armored arms showing object space normals. 

On the far left, labeled Base, is an arm with smooth color gradients. 

In the middle, labeled Posterize, is the same arm with fewer colors in big bands.

 On the right, labeled Smudge, is the posterized normal map with smudges to turn it into something that looks painted.

In case anyone's interested, this is the process I'm using to generate normals for the painterly portfolio project I'm working on. This is in Substance Painter, but you could also do it in Photoshop or 3D Coat

I convert them to tangent space after the fact, but you could also do that in a shader

This is the type of result you can get if you also tweak some shader and post processing stuff

Are the scuffed outlines on the first mesh a post-process effect, or are they baked into the mesh somehow?

Looks great!!

Our next game is Verminsteel!

You're a bird with a broadsword, kicking thousands of fascists so hard they fly into the sun

Let's see if we can raise $10,000 today for red state or national queer orgs. Post proof here in the replies that you donated to a red state or national queer organization and I will share.

Who's with me?

(I can't donate myself because I'm a journalist who covers these orgs)

i really can not emphasize enough that the most materially impactful thing you can do for trans people right now is hire them.

Outer Wilds, if you haven't played it yet, is one of the best games of all time. It's a fun space exploration game with a timeloop twist, and 90% of all game progress happens in your head, as you learn things about the universe and your situation.

Absolutely play it if you haven't yet.

i was an officer in the gamedev club at UCI a couple years ago, and from my cohort i know *far* more people who graduated into 1.5+ years of unemployment than into games employment. let alone people like me who landed in retail, or burnt out, or got laid off already.

utter devastation indeed.
