New favorite festival/fair food: pizza, in cone form.
A cone-shaped pizza crust filled with pepperoni and cheese, with a rainbow pride flag sticking out of the top.

Well, that's not great... 😬

Undertale memory submission: a text box containing my pixel penguin avatar, and the text "It kept me going through a dark time, and its music still does! I would say a big part of the reason I'm still trying to create, despite everything, is thanks to Undertale. --Lunar_Penguin"

Have a very fluffy #cat in a box! (her name is Lynx)
A very fluffy cat with white fur, sitting in a cardboard box that’s just big enough for her to fit.

Cap decorations! :-)
A graduation cap decorated with images referencing the games Undertale, Outer Wilds, Mr. Saitou, and The Beginner’s Guide.

#Graduation time is imminent!

It finally feels somewhat real… I’m still going to sleep for about 12 consecutive hours once everything is done.
A selfie I took of myself in a blue graduation cap and gown, with an orange stole.

I'll be showing a few of the things I've made and been working on, at the GIMM (Games, Interactive Media, and Mobile Technology) Senior Showcase next week @boisestate.bsky.social !

A poster advertising the GIMM Senior Showcase event. Text at the top of the poster reads: "Come See What I've Made at GIMM Senior Showcase! Video Games, Animations, Web Development, VR, and 3D Modeling. March 27th, 3-6 PM BSU Albertsons Library". This text is being spoken by a rubber duck wearing a headset and holding a gamepad, with a laptop in front of it.

One of the little things I like about this site is the profile labelers!

For example, by subscribing to the @pronouns.adorable.mom labeler, I can add a tag to my account with my pronouns and see others’ easily. Plus, the @ozone.birb.house labeler is really cool for identifying game dev people!
A screenshot of the profile labels attached to one of my posts: “he/him” and “Game Dev”.

I don't think I've seen this happen in any other program (but of course, this being an Adobe application, I'm not surprised 🙄 ).

My Documents folder contains a ton of stuff, and is stored on a separate SSD. Because of this, Adobe Substance Painter simply... doesn't believe it exists.
A screenshot of Substance Painter's log. The last line, in red, reads "[Library agent] '/home/kaj/Documents/Adobe/Adobe Substance 3D Painter' path is not a valid path for library 'your_assets'". A screenshot. On the left, Adobe Substance Painter's file browser, apparently unable to see the "Documents" folder in the home directory. On the right, a terminal window with a listing of the same folder and one line highlighted, showing the symbolically linked "Documents" folder exists and is pointing to a directory on my larger SSD.

It's so tough to only pick four!

My favorite game soundtracks change a lot depending on mood, but these four have consistently been among my #favorites.
Rakuen soundtrack, official album art. Depicts the Rakuen logo in blue, with a stylized background of the character Morizora, guardian of the forest. Celeste soundtrack, official album art. Depicts the main character, Madeline, a woman with long red hair and a blue jacket. She holds an audio cassette tape in both hands while looking down at it. Undertale soundtrack, official album art. Depicts the main character in the center, standing on a patch of yellow flowers surrounded by various monster characters from the game. The Talos Principle, official album art. Depicts a closeup of the torso of a black and white robot, holding a white kitten in its arms. The robot's right hand rests on the kitten's back, as the kitten looks down toward the ground.

How I arrived at Bluesky
The player’s spaceship from the game Outer Wilds, which looks unwieldy and like it’s been cobbled together from spare parts, sitting on a launch platform at night.

A headline reading “The Bisexual Manifesto”. Below that, a paragraph begins “We are tired”, but the rest of the paragraph is crossed out.

Feeling generally very stressed out today, so here’s a cute picture of my #cat sleeping.

They really are… and here, have some pictures of Okapi! 🙂

Just wanted to share an updated render here I did of a scene I made a couple of years ago!

This is a Blender recreation of a scene from Laura Shigihara's excellent game "Rakuen" (2017), specifically the mysterious door leading to Morizora's Forest.

#fanart #rakuen #blender
A magical door with a glowing Rakuen logo on it. The doorway has several vines growing on it, and it stands on a platform floating in a void. Light can be seen emerging through the gap in the middle of the door.
