I appreciate that you care about Azumi so much. I absolutely care about her too. I just had to admit to myself that despite that love, or maybe because of it, I don’t have the resources right now to tell her story in a way I would have been happy with. She’s not gone, just percolating.

Man don’t do this to me I was just settling on upping my poly count a bit and now this is all I wanna do with my life
Which game are these from? It’s like black magic. I didn’t think Origins went up to Z and that’s the only one I’m aware of.
Will be posting the next chapter of Just Another Day soon. No illustration with it though. I’ve been sick all week cuz I ran outta my meds 🫠

objectively the worst console generation. it’s not even close.
Yeah. That actually where I started back in in 2017. I dunno I guess I feel like my work right now is missing something ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Post a gif of who you wanted to be as a kid
I feel like my current 3D models are a little too high fidelity to have that low poly charm, but not detailed enough to match an actual high poly or illustration look.
I gotta pick a lane.
Incredibly disappointing article title from Ars. Do not accept this premise. Push back on it at every turn. Especially if you have an audience.
At least the inevitable Gamer's Nexus video will be fire.
Also Grace looks like an entirely different person.
Watching the examples, it feels like any semblance of art direction is washed away by DLSS5.
It all looks like cellphone / camera video in terms of contrast and color balancing, which is probably where the bulk of the training data for the model came from.
Just Another Day is now on Royal Road and Scribble Hub in addition to Substack! Choices are good, right?

Getting really tempted to downgrade my M3 Air back to macOS Sequoia. I'd have to re-set up everything but...
I dunno man Tahoe just ain't it.
Also they wanted me to disable Find My which seemed very much not standard practice.
Scheduled a battery replacement for my iPhone. Have AppleCare. They referred me to Best Buy.
Best Buy pushed my appointment to the next day, then when I came back they said even though I have AppleCare which covers a battery swap, it would cost $100. Told them to pound sand and left.
“Nation that won’t stop sucking its own dick about freedom floats yet another plan to curtail freedom.”
The next chapter of Just Another Day is coming this Friday! If you haven't read the first three chapters, now's a great time to get caught up!
Seriously
They did it. 10/10. What a fucking miracle of a show.
Two episodes left of Andor. They better stick the landing cuz it’s straight up one of the best shows I’ve ever seen so far.
Finished the GoW Valhalla DLC last night. I feel like I'm conflicted on the story of the Norse games. I don't think the plot is that... good? There are a lot of holes and shaky motivations in both games.
But I really like what they've done with redeeming Kratos and his journey. Its a strong finish.
Their screens are rounded on top and squared off on the bottom WHO ALLOWED THIS?!
Apple. I'm begging you.
Rounded corners or sharp corners. Pick a lane.
Sera and Leena would probably lose their minds trying to adapt to the GoW Ragnarok world. Leena especially with no more tech to mess with.
Azumi would do just fine though.
My goal for this year is to stop giving a shit.
No job? Who gives a shit?
No money? Who gives a shit.
No social life? Who gives a shit.
No confidence in my work? Who gives a shit.
Just vibe. Give zero fucks. Exist. Death comes for us all.
