Sad laughing at the newer ads I see for AI saying “is working with AI too much work? Try our higher tier version!”

This was much easier than when I was 7! Finished it up tonight, I guess I have to play Riven for the first time now.
Been missing old point n click adventure games, and I bought this pack on Humble Bundle about a week ago, so it's time to see if I can make it farther than I did when I was 7! Now to only decide if I want to play the original or the remake 🤔

Wow, big storm! It's really rare to hear thunder like this in LA. Nice sounds to go to sleep tonight to.

Unreal playing pranks on me today, making my mouse cursor disappear after dragging any noodles in blueprint. Things would still highlight but no cursor for you!

Felt like adding to my Mario Bros. 1 redraw. Fixed Mario, added Luigi and Wario for fun. Peach, Toad and Bowser only work on black backgrounds like the original game. Allowed Koopa Troopa a sprite overaly to get an extra color like in SM3. NES accurate, but probably not optimized.

Finally came up with a composition to have a take on Giganotosaurus! The group behavior based on the remains of Mapusaurus seemingly showcasing that lifestyle. Otherwise, I always love reflections and unconventional approaches to showcasing well known animals! #paleoart #paleosky #giganotosaurus

Quick #animtip, this is useful of you want some more juicy Nurb curves for your controllers, doesn't affect selection range as far as I'm aware but can make them easier to see. #gamedev #maya #3d
