If you're in the game industry and use LinkedIn, please do me a favor and share my post about Sentona Games screwing me out of money I'm owed. Thank you

Here's a reminder that the first of Jeffrey Epsteins victims to come forward was Ava Cordero in 2007. She was a transgender women so the media responded by calling her a "gender bender shocker" a "she he" and a "man"

I worked with the Cave Story publisher Nicalis for a few months developing a pixel art but higher resolution version of the game.

Pixel approved!
Here's also some upscaled sprites, showing options #pixelart

on their payments so that they can get a pay out, and that's it. Meanwhile they will blame and punish you for everything, regardless of who's actually responsible, no matter what the context, with zero oversight. When you put all that together, what the system does is actually *disable* people...

There are countless websites that generate color palettes, but I needed a reusable package for my own apps. So I built dittoTones. 🟣

It mimics the perceptual DNA (Lightness/Chroma curves) of popular systems and blends them with your target hue β†’ meodai.github.io/dittoTones/

The media blackout on the hunger strikers is disgusting.

Nothing but puppets for the worst people in the UK.

I've yet to meet a person in the real world who has heard anything about it.

There should be more games inspired by avant-garde stage design.

This Day in Labor History: November 22, 1909. Approximately 20,000 garment workers in New York City went on strike against the horrendous conditions of their sweatshops. This strike, known as the Uprising of the 20,000, was the largest strike led by women in American history to that time!!!

Getting the hang of #blender extension development. So excited to be able to start showing people Materialize, particularly riggers. It combines geo-nodes and object/data-block creation to allow for procedural rigging and skinning.

It bought in some concepts from dependent typing and constraint solving however

Was pretty proud of the way I approached polymorphism and also dimensionality (like 2d/3d textures and four channel vs single outputs)

But making sure everything was consistent between the two representations was a bit of a drag

Ran into so many of these issues when I was trying to make wbbl happen. Did make the choice to separate the edit structure and runtime codegen one which had some nice upsides in that nodes that were similar structurally or visually could share logic where it made sense.

Rigging is such a fascinating field but I worry that by focusing so much on it, I'm not getting the animation practice I need.

I've always wanted something along the lines of augmented glasses to help with audio processing issues and recall/working memory but Meta doing it makes it too gross to consider
