Writers should internalize Lao Tzu's lesson about how the emptiness at the center of a wheel is what makes it useful, and how a pot is valuable because of where the clay *isn't*. Corporate geek culture has warped us into thinking that negative spaces are flaws that need to be fixed.
Can't stress this enough: nobody fucking cares what he was up to

I may have made the 3D effect but @olov.bsky.social made the actual graphics for the White Hook River logo! ⚡
Thank you Olov! 😃

Seeing some great FF memes floating around makes me wanna share my old take. Another one of those suplexes!

Me (Oskar) and Olov ( @olov.bsky.social ) did a game jam and the theme was "Restore"

We didn't manage a complete game but are very happy with the results of our game "Wave Strider"

We even won the People's Choice Award for Best Art! 😊

The jam:

I was thinking... What could you bury under the snow? Rocks, bait, items etc. I think that could be fun exploration.

Strong feelings.

This daily theme was emotion, inspired by Egg-head from Disco Elysium. Palette was Autumn Harvest 37 by Mysunnyrose over on #Lospec

New day, old daily. I remember I was happy with how the texture turned out given the small amount of time I spent on it. The theme was Clue, palette is Vigaros 16 by Lizalot over on #Lospec

Haven't done any dailies in a long while so here's an old one. Theme was glass. Palette was 'not a Bauhaus, a Bauhome' by Digi over on Lospec

🎣We are hard at work changing the perspective from strict 2D into more 3D (keeping the Gameboy-ish retro vibe!) but here is a short teaser of things to come (no sound though). 😃

Gillar man små lågbudget-scifi filmer så finns Prospect på HBO Max. Charmig rymdvästern som förmodligen landade Pedro Pascal rollen i Mandalorian
