This is actually a really snappy and easy-to-understand thread to explain how normal maps work for people who've never interacted with them before.
Our upcoming game The Hearth and Harbour is fully 2D, but with some neat tricks we’ve made it look 3D. Ethan, our environment artist, did this with a special type of texture called a Normal Map. (Thread! 1/7)

Clay letters from ancient Mesopotamia are alive with idiom, sayings, and everyday language that I love.
Here are just a few random ones so you can enjoy them too.

Everyone around me irl keep dropping in the fact that they use AI in every day life and work and it makes me feel like I’m going crazy especially when I push back and ask if it’s worth the consequences and the response is always, in the end, no 🫠 And yet this is just the average person now!

Blessed Thanksgiving week off. For starters, it’s the first yr I’ve had the whole week off. Within that, I’ve been treated so exquisitely by a partner who loves running tabletop stories so much that we’ve played 15hr 1:1 sessions romping in a cosmic horror chapter entirely of his own design. ❤️

Looking at old art, trying to remind myself how I used to draw so that I can do it again. Bunch of Destiny2 and Crow brainrot.
