who doesn't love some grain

ok, actual progress is slowly being made - thanks to @catmole.bsky.social for the inspo on the radar 🙌

this isn't implemented into the game whatsoever, just checking to see if I actually like it or not... if any UI/UX designers wanna relieve me of the demonic souls tormenting my minds cauldron, that'd be sweet as

UI/UX artists are absolute wizards/witches and their magic spells cannot be recreated by mere mortals. I am struggling to make this work and be happy with it

do you know something i don't?! it's coming??

honestly I would have LOVED to see some classic-era weapons show up in Cryo Archive, even if it was just the Magnum or Fusion Pistol. though the Biotoxic Injector having lil grenades does remind me of the MA75 haha

yeah so i should probably mention that i finished the flamethrower the other day huh

i love making cool shit

i hate that the oceans trilogy (comfy and fun adventure for me to disassociate to) is attached to a guy who makes films with ai now. i hate that halo and neotokyo and skyrim and so many other soundtracks are tainted by their awful, intolerant and abusive composers. don't even get me started on books

because for me, it IS getting harder. i'm not as able to divorce my feelings anymore, i feel them so much stronger every day i get older and it makes it impossible for me to actually feel like i'm a good person if i enjoy things that came from shitty people

they say you can separate the art from the artist, but what happens when you can't anymore? there is so much music, art, films/tv, games, that i have a lot of appreciation for - but surely you can split it away from those who use it for nefarious purposes somehow? what if it's becoming harder?

i keep getting recommended posts shown to me from folks who liked a post from/followed an account which engages in the most horrific behaviour possible, and then leads to me discovering they're secretly a right wing nutcase breathing in the cooker fumes. genuinely infuriating. fuck

The swift parrot’s distinctive call was recorded dozens of times in a patch of Tasmanian forest. Then the forest was logged Scientists estimate the endangered bird’s population has slumped to about 750. But the logging agency responsible for clearing its habitat said it acted lawfully

🚨Exposed: A major Bunnings timber supplier has been linked to logging in critically endangered swift parrot habitat 🦜

#Bunnings claims it’s committed to Responsible Timber Sourcing, yet this revelation could mean what’s on the shelves is timber made of critical habitat for the #swiftparrot. #wildoz

map retexturing genuinely has me terrified which is why I hope I can put together a lil team of folks who'd help translate the new designs i.e. Cryo & other maps! first priority would literally just be doing Arrival since it uses a good 50-75% of the games textures just in that area alone haha

goes without saying that this is still very much work-in-progress, and won't be done until I feel like it's ready... but if you want to see more of what I'm up to, or want to lend a hand - you can join my server here 🙂

feeling toasty tonight

When you drop a bomb on civilians, I think that’s murder. I don’t really care for any justifications. They’re people. The enormity of the loss is devastating and it’s easier for some people to look away. But for other people, that’s their family. Their children. It’s just sickening and so wrong.

Very much see that too! I was mostly going off of the OG game sprites for reference 😊

nice

forgot the fucking decals on the terminal fml

world still sucks so i'm making pattern buffer stations and terminal interfaces 🖥️💾

Just because I share pics and vids of my birds on the internet, does NOT mean I am qualified to give emergency medical advice. That is what VETS are for.

Put your fucking phone down and go to the vet.

I spent a long time de-programming myself from growing up in a family/social dynamic that was dominated by right wing intolerance and wasted energy and time with people who just wanted to hate and hurt and never love. I have no space in my mind or heart for you if this is the path you choose to walk

shouldn’t have to be said, but I’ll say it anyway - if you’re transphobic, xenophobic, ableist or just generally horrible to people & animals I don’t want anything to do with you. If you think that LLMs and GenAi are awesome, fuck off. If you stalk and harass people, get off the net and get help.

thanks for the ordnance Pike 🥹
