Self-starting as a 3D Graphics programmer

For my first real post on here I'd just like to share my talk from last year's GDEX. Nothing earth-shattering but I'm confident new graphics programmers can get something out of it.

It’s so cool to have hitched your wagon 20 years ago to an industry that was booming beyond anyone’s expectations and have it turn out to be stripmined and utterly hollowed out by Shareholder Value, and every other industry you could slot into has been, surprise, hollowed out by Shareholder Value

Breaking character: I am open to the idea the media's coverage of Biden's age and mental acuity was fair or perhaps not even tough enough. But the fact that it was so much tougher than the coverage of Trump's (more severe) mental decline is damning and I can't see how anyone could argue otherwise.
NYT isn’t worth reading because they are in the bag for Trump

To avoid a situation where Silksong wins every award in the same year, we're introducing a new award category: Most Insect Pornography Created. 2025 nominees are Silksong, and some gacha phone game you've never heard of that isn't available in english and also shut down 8 months ago

As an aside, I _love_ how predictably liberals repeat fascist terminology/rhetoric when they start talking about communists. The old saying about scratched liberals is true to a person.

It seems counterproductive to respond to Cuomo's anti-muslim racism with "well Mamdani _did_ deserve it tho", but maybe I'm just not strategy-pilled enough to see how legitimizing your opponent's slander helps you win.

I've been trying to ask a simple question on the Odin discord for a few days, but no one is reacting to my posts whatsoever. It feels like I'm shadowbanned, but I don't think that's even a feature on Discord so wtf 🤔

the day that society at large understands that testosterone and estrogen are necessary hormones in your body regardless of your sex, and that hormone supplementation is a health question rather than a loaded emotional question, will be one of the greatest days in human history.
when trans people take HRT to feel normal: “look at these depraved sex freaks performing their sick fetish in public, we should bully them out of existence”
when cis ppl take HRT so they can fuck real good:
