If you're a self-taught #indiedev I wholeheartedly recommend reading through gameprogrammingpatterns.com/ if you haven't yet. They may not necessarily be 100% compatible with your style since they're not one-size-fits-all, but they add a lot of useful tools to your kit.

Being self-taught makes one miss a lot of the finer patterns in programming, but it's easy to pick up on them once you know where to look.

Man it would be a real shame if all these "AI art" generation grifts that claim ownership of any photos you submit were to suddenly get clog with unusable junk and things big companies like Disney own huh? Would probably cause a big IP fight or something and nobody would want that :thounking:

If rail workers do end up engaging in a wildcat or otherwise illegal strike, PLEASE remember that strikes are meant to be disruptive. If you see someone talking about the rail strike and how it's having such a huge impact, say things like "Yeah, it's crazy how much of our economy relies on them. That's why they deserve good health care."

Don't give in to anti-labour rhetoric. Combat false narratives. Solidarity Forever.

dreams, bugs 

I dreamt about architectural peculiarities in a vampire castle I was invited to and also giant friendly bees, one of which curled up around my shoulders because they sensed I was also a friend

My friend Jojo123die, the one who made the picture in my pinned toots, could use some money if you're interested in getting commissions or stickers from her shop! ko-fi.com/jojo123die

Normalize Black people coming to this app being safe to speak their minds. What we bring up might abut internal discomfort and biases that you might hold. That is not the minoritized person’s responsibility, though, to educate you, coddle you, to do the work for you. It is your responsibility to not create yet another space where Black people are marginalized or silenced.
I’ve been calculated about bringing this up and now is the time.💖✊🏽

My credit card is looking pretty bad haha.. oof.

Would anyone be interested in a commission? I’ll do some 1/2 body commissions for just 40 usd. You can view my tag #alroeart for some examples. I also will attach my last coloured sample here, too. o/

If just a portrait, then I will ask for 20 usd.

If you want a full body I can also do that and we can figure it out from there.

I’d really appreciate the help. I don’t have any limits on what to draw. ㅠㅠ

For today's chat on #ScottishFolklore, let's talk about the word "fairy."

Today, there seems to be a divide on what people think of when someone says “fairy.” Some people will picture a tiny humanoid girl with translucent bug-like wings, while others, perhaps thanks to a surge in young adult fiction, will picture something more like a Tolkien elf. Those are the height of a regular human, but with pointed ears and some magical ability.

Historically, though, it is more complicated.

Oh, #7DFPS is coming up! That reminds me that I had a passing thought for an FPS concept that was basically an excuse to queer up boomer shooters by making it about a demon goat lady and her fairy girlfriend fighting their way out of Heaven's prisons

Also inexplicably resulted in me reaching new heights with my drawing ability =w=;
