Dragon Ball Daima is some of the best Dragon Ball I've seen in a long time!

Fantastic ending!!

Here's a low poly optimization trick I use often.

Since most 3d programs won't let you bridge 2 edges next to each other to form a triangle, what I normally do is add a vert to one of the edges so I can bridge the two as a non-uniform quad and then remove the vert after the bridge.

I'll never not root for Winston. This man could lead armies if he wanted.

Do you know _devs_ who are _dads_ building their startups in public?

I couldn't discover these aspiring indies on X, etc as the algo inundated me w/ engagement baits.

Here, I hope to interact with genuine rants, milestones, f—ups, shower thoughts, and op-ed

Dune Prophecy's premier was *okay*. I think 7/10 is fair, and 6 if you REALLY want to nitpick.

What Arcane is doing to me needs to be studied 😭

A number of artists and creators have made their home on Bluesky, and we hear their concerns with other platforms training on their data. We do not use any of your content to train generative AI, and have no intention of doing so.

Know that everything you post on 🦋 is public through the Atproto protocol.

Moving to Blue Sky is still a really good idea for your sanity, but glaze, nightshade and don’t write anything you wouldn’t in public.

Act like that in general online, but even behind login and walls leaks can han happen.
Thoughts on the recent migration from X to Bluesky
A flood of users left X and moved to Bluesky over the weekend. I’ve written a bunch of times in the past about Bluesky, and have gone from grumpy frustration to general acceptance of the service. I’m ...

Post a picture of the first game you ever completed on your own

Breath of Fire.

Forget the sequels; there was something special about this one.

This is the advice I give over and over again to artists trying to get their foot in the door. The quality of your devotion matters!
I've been teaching art for years.

What holds you back isn't your inability to learn theory.

It's a lack of:
- Clarity of your goal & WHY you want it
- Belief in yourself
- A simplified roadmap
- More action, less overthinking
- More objective analysis of your mistakes

Bit of an animated look at my current personal project. The base is there now and now it’s all details and graphics work left to do but that is the bulk of the work for me but also the bit I enjoy the most.

Adobe GenAI: for people making things in a rush who don't know things and can't be bothered to check, for clients and customers that don't know the difference, suitable for projects that don't matter
This bullshit is offensive to both my artist side and my amphibian enthusiast side, Adobe. That is not a species of frog.

I met a lot of wonderful people from all around the world/U.S. this weekend at #MCVegas. Many of them are new to MtG! The growth of the game and its fanbase is exciting to see! 🎲🗡️🛡️✨
