I gotta say my enjoyment of cooking with potatoes has gone up tenfold after I realized they are objectively worse in every way when you peel them and you can just leave the skin on

Wild how I finally got myself sorted with a psych here in the US to take over my existing diagnoses/meds, and after a single 1 hour introduction appointment she hit me with
"Okay, well, it's pretty obvious that you have ADHD and autism!"

Dude not knowing how to draw as a VFX artist STINKS!!
I got all this knowledge on rendering, color composition, shading, blending etc etc but then I can't even draw the silhouette of an apple, let alone an anatomically correct human I'm

Seen people who used escapism from politics as a reason to move from X to bsky, only to then be actively engaged with politics on here, just on the opposite side of the political spectrum 🙃Hot take but I don't wanna see that stuff either. I want to look at gamedev and animals

Not gonna lie, staying up till 3am, after having watched the entirety of the Mandela Catalogue, in an unlit apartment that recently had a bunch of furniture moved around, was not the play. Thought I was done for until I realized it was just our fat Miku plush sitting on top of a storage cabinet

using Houdini for VFX is both a blessing and a curse.
On one hand you get a non-destructive workflow that allows for rapid iteration and adding variations... But then on the other hand there's the rabbit hole of "I haven't baked anything into the vertex alpha channel yet..."

What a good time to arrive in the US of A as an immigrant! 🦅🦅 Time to quote some random bible verse in my bio to build up a rapport as "one of the good ones".
