- Spent the evening faffing about with Blender modifiers, assigning attributes to specific edges for the bevel modifier and displacement in UE5 - most of the way there me thinks but bed is calling and will go back to it tomorrow. Pleased I've been tackling this as it's a tough nut to crack (for me)! 😅
- Am I odd for thinking UVing is kind of therapeutic?! 😅
- Now’s the time America - now’s the time for a nationwide strike. These fuckers at the top only understand money - hit them where it hurts and they’ll have to take notice. Always remember- there’s far more of you than them. Good luck - the whole world is watching and crossing their fingers.
- Me, a Blender user, waiting for the guy in the tutorial to catch up with me while he uses Max. Yes he's explaining some techniques for the newbies, but it seems the steps needed are a lot more convoluted getting to the same point in Max than Blender.
- My Blender 5.0 doughnut attempt - needed a Blender refresher after not even opening it for most of last year! 😅
- For full accountability - 2 screenshots of 2 environments I absolutely will go back to and finish in 2026. Bonus 3rd one (outdoor green one) which is a stretch goal 😅
- What small (mushroom) dick energy this guy oozes. What an odious repellent PoS. And as for her - she should know that bullies never stop, give them an inch and they'll take a mile.
- Trying to do some Blender-ing and getting side eye for not giving her enough attention 🙄
- Dont think I opened Blender once last year - too much RL stuff going on that got in the way. But this year, as long as Trump doesn't kill us all, will be different. Suppose I better do the donut thing as a refresher...
- Reposted by Rob ShaerIt wasn’t the racism. It wasn’t the rule breaking. It wasn’t the corruption. No Jenrick gets removed for plotting. Politics for too many leaders is just a game, and not a moral one. It’s why people are crying out for hope.
- Change a letter, ruin a Bluesky handle... nobshaer 😧 Giving me PTSD flashbacks to my childhood 😅
- Love the pieces Santeri does - amazing work! 😍
- Late #portfolioday post! Hi, I'm Santeri, a senior environment artist cara.app/voidie3d

- Hi folks my wife's cousin (Alice) husband (Jeremy) has a stage 4 brain tumour - they are trying to raise funds for emergency procedures as without the worst outcome is possible. If you could donate or share this far and wide on socials I would be eternally grateful. Thanks all. ❤️ gofund.me/9f6e5cb7b
- I mean - having properly thought out systems and mechanics implemented in your game at the ground level that help all players and of all abilities would make this totally unnecessary... but what do I know.
- Sony has patented an AI gaming ghost that will play PlayStation games for you when you get stuck www.eurogamer.net/sony-has-pat...
- Working is at times hard. Caring for/having a parent living with you who has Parkinsons and Dementia is hard. Combining both can be incredibly hard. Luckily my place of work is incredibly understanding which helps massively. Others aren't so lucky and I really feel for those in that situation.
- For example: Dad was awake, washed and dressed at 2am today - wondering round the house turning on all the lights. Forgetting where his room was. Today is a coffee day for sure...
- Reposted by Rob ShaerWe did something different with the credits for Demonschool. We used this format: name, title, lengthy description of what they did. Often you see credits in games where you don't know what the credited developer was actually responsible for. We wanted to give people proper, actual credit.
- How I imagine New York is feeling right now 🤗 #ZohranMamdani
- Hey @activisionblizzard.bsky.social - there’s a Diablo 4 quest bug been reported by multiple users (including me). Reddit post here. www.reddit.com/r/diablo4/s/...
- I've signed this - it is completely pointless, open to abuse, an unnecessary expense, and probably more importantly another attempt to move us in a more authoritarian direction. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73...
- I've never watched as much American late night chat shows as I have recently...
- Not that I would probably be asked to go to GDC, but if I was I would politely refuse - I just have no desire to go the US these days... for reasons too numerous to go into but I'm sure you can work it out.
- “In Nazi Germany, satirical content was seen as an existential threat to the regime's authority and was systematically censored, controlled, or co-opted for its own propagandistic ends. This suppression was a key component of the Nazi effort to control all forms of communication and public thought.”
- This is an utterly fantastic watch and proof that you can change peoples opinions and mindset. This is exactly what is going on in the UK right now. Labour has for the most part abandoned the working class - they will come back if politicians listen to them and fight on their behalf.
- Not content with Level Designing the absolute bollocks off stuff as my day job, I think I might also take part in #blocktober this year… Love an Uncharted game so might have a go at something to do with that…
- Hate to say it but the beserker fights in god of war ragnarok are some of the most unnecessarily hard rage baiting encounters I’ve ever had in a game. The game is otherwise fantastic but these are not fun in the slightest 😩
