I never thought I'd need to use a fan to cool a keyboard, but gaming laptops run so hot nowadays that this one literally burned my fingers.

Pro tip: Make sure you don't forget to pray to the Blender gods before starting your physics simulation, otherwise it may not work.

This was our average experience with Photoshop. Why on earth is Adobe widely considered to be the industry standard?

CheeseyBit @cheeseybit.bsky.social · Jun 18

Part of my education was to learn how to use the entire Adobe Creative Cloud. My class and I all unanimously agreed that Illustrator was by far the worst program, it took us hours just to get some simple tasks done. Adobe's other programs were also so buggy that they became downright unusable.

It will forever baffle me why they decided to make the first film adaptation of Minecraft in live action. It comes off as a weird mix between a parody and a fever dream, which is upsetting because now it feels like Minecraft's long awaited debut on the big screen is being played off as a joke.

This is exactly why so many people are leaving Twitter/X.
Everywhere you look, it's just blue checkmark accounts, many of which are bots, posting hateful garbage to farm engagement and obtain ad revenue.
It sucks.

Every time someone mentions gay frogs, I'm always reminded of this video. Also, nice stickers!

I don't care what some crazy old guy in a position of power says, I'm still proudly supporting Pride Month.

Whether you're lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, or anywhere else on the spectrum — I see you, I support you, and I celebrate you.

Messed around with Blender's shader nodes and ended up creating this spooky looking fog/ghost material that looks like it came straight out of Minecraft's End dimension.

The picture shows Steve, who's holding an iron pickaxe, and Alex standing under golden text that says: "16 YEARS".

I forgot to post this because I'm a lazy bum, but I made a quick animation to test out some of my Minecraft rig's capabilities, mainly by making some goofy facial expressions.

Not my best work in terms of animating, but I think it gets the point across nonetheless.

Here's a WIP of a Minecraft player rig that I'm making in Blender.

I'm trying to keep it as faithful as possible to the in-game model, whilst also allowing it to be way more expressive.

Twitter/X steals your art to train its generative AI, so I'll start sharing mine here instead.

Here's some 3D Minecraft plants I made a couple of months ago in Blender.

I just noticed that the texture of the glasses is asymmetrical because it's missing two pixels on the right.
Mojang please fix.

The glasses are missing two pixels on the right!!!!1!11!

CheeseyBit @cheeseybit.bsky.social · Apr 16

This is one of the best new features that Mojang has added in recent years.

Stupid villager didn't want to look at the camera >:(

Not to mention that they will literally steal your art and use it to train their Grok AI if you ever decide to post it there.

I can't imagine why anyone would still want to be on Twitter/X at this point. That place has become so infested with bots and hateful political nonsense, it's insane.

We really waited 9 years for the worst video game adaptation since 1993's Super Mario Bros.

I find it odd how everyone I know who has an expensive and well-kept laptop has had one or multiple parts of it fail on them, meanwhile there's this one guy with the cheap, dirty, scratched up, plastic laptop who never seems to encounter any problems.

Isn't it supposed to work the other way around?
