quickly learning that the route to a successful fediverse experience is through following near enough every mastodon.art account you come by

I'd really like to make a game at some point that's set in a vaaaast procedural city. Not an open world game, but just using a sprawling urban mass as the backdrop.

I like the idea having that kinda setting to make the player feel small - no access to cars or any empowerment like that, you're forced to obey the whims of public transit.

Shrek (XBox) was released on this day in 2001!

Shrek was the first game to use a deferred rendering pipeline.

Deferred is now industry standard, but widespread use didn't roll out until a period between 2007-2011.

Shrek (2001) was a game a generation and a decade ahead of it's time.

Given the effect that deferred has had on industry visuals, Shrek may well be considered the most technologically groundbreaking game since .......... Wolfenstein 3D https://mastodon.social/media/fGO26HkB6OvvBhdqVok

oh nooooooo, dont sealion for mastodon

seen a few "hrrrm, mastodon" posts on birdsite that're met with a rando responding with "well, actually let me tell you allllll about federation"

dont do that to people you dont know it won't win us any friends

mastodon is trending on birdsite everyone behave yourselve ok no bad discourse and be a little bit more discrete with your horny postings

but must say -

just as I find "you're probably trans if..." takes extremely distasteful

anything that reinforces thoughts around the opposite, the "you're probably not trans if..." is on the other hand actively harmful.

Don't do the former if you're trans, and pls try to strip away thoughts & anxieties around gatekeeper faux rules if you're questioning

THANK YOU SISTERS

utilizing bad faith lived experience validation to coerce information regarding ppls traumas

I would love to see old-guard FOSS projects fall and be replaced by new blood.

There are too many inward looking establishments among open source that have an irrevocable, institutional disregard for the user.

I use software such as Blender and GIMP daily, and it's never as pleasant an experience as it should be.

Open Source doesn't need flagships that're a repellent to the average "customer" and devour productivity through their own hubris.
