🛰️ Our European Service Module has successfully separated from Orion's crew module!
🚀 After propelling the spacecraft over 1 million km in deep space, it will now burn up in Earth's atmosphere, as the astronauts continue their journey home 🌍

As far as I know, this is the first time we've seen a pic of an ablative heat shield in space.

That third view of the two separated modules was genuinely incredible.

Do us all a favour: Follow better people and/or stop sharing whatever drivel you happen to come across. I swear, too many of you all thrive on being defensive.

Sorry, but it really is every fucking day and you genuinely do not need to entertain such rubbish.

I wonder if they will eventually ban the skin at official e-sports events?

"prohibition in the united states" has this time lapse map that switches from folksy banjo music to ominous industrial sci-fi for the 15 seconds when alcohol was illegal nationwide

They have headgear drops? They all work differently though...

To be fair, it is a bit unintuitive since poise is used essentially everywhere else for staggers. But at this point all 3 wikis have it mostly correct and I still hear in something like challenge runs "I must not have enough poise damage" when they don't get the easy kill method. Weirdly persistent.

More popular that the Iron Golem poise damage one?
Man how often I've heard that...

Maybe like a half-plate armour?
It looks like it's a model with the standard red-orange clay-like MatCap for sculpting in Blender.

Fuck yeah, my social media is healing.
This kind of incredibly niche game discovery is what I loved about the other place. I found some of my favourite games, many while incredibly early in development.
I still remember seeing that first video of HKDevblog years before Stray was announced.
Awesome!

AI has actively made life worse for literally everyone

- tech is now more expensive
- you cannot trust most media of reality anymore
- programs barely function
- energy prices
- literal psychosis
- your voice can be literally stolen for evil
- more spyware

but hey, you can avoid paying an artist.

If you haven't looked into the ethics of GenAI until now this reaction to it is the perfect opportunity to start.
Especially for someone that (as far as I understand) curates an art collection.

I'm sure you'll see some of the issues as well.
Cheers!

I'd rather have a very shit photo edit than anything from the plagiarism machine that destroys resources.

And here's a small breakdown of all the elements. This isn't a compositing breakdown, everything was rendered in one pass.

Very happy with the integration of the ocean, did a lot of work on masks for the displacement of the waves.

I can't wait! I could really use a 2 hour distraction right now.

I guess this was before the Lens Sim Addon. With proper lens imperfections it would be much harder.

Can't wait for your series of HK and Silksong character design reviews where you go through every sprite and just say "They're a funky lil' guy! I love them."

Didn't post in a while because I was busy in Greenland. We found this massive arch the other day :)

Eine Laienfrage: Wieso die höhere Hitzewarnstufe im äußersten Westen die nicht der Temperaturkarte folgt?
Geht es da noch darum, wie lange die Temperaturen einen bestimmten Wert überschreiten?

Going slightly insane over the fact that nobody ever bothers to photograph the front of the tender.

A good 70% of this process is looking for reference images.

I'll try to work on this whenever I have the time.
Maybe posting here will help me keep at it.

OKAY! So. Thanks to popular culture, when most people hear "pirate ship" they think of a big, intimidating, heavily armed vessel like a galleon or a man-of-war, like this commandeered Spanish vessel from season 2 of BLACK SAILS. 🏴‍☠️

I don't think anyone will see this but:

Does anybody know how I as a non-developer can make a custom feed that only applies to people I follow (without adding them manually to a list)?

Preferably without having to become a web dev and learn how to do it properly.

The volume rendering improvements in Blender 4.3 are quite impressive. I just wish I could do stuff like this in 10% of the render time.
This took 9.5 hours on a 4080.

Here's something to leave a first impression: I like photography and those are my cats.
