For those of you who work with Unity.

You know how when you switch to 'curves' in the keyframe window it always seems to default to the most unhelpful zoom possible?

FEAR NOT!

When this happens, (with the curve view as the active pane) press [ctrl-a] then [f]!

I lost a lot of sleep when my mom bought me this Raymond Briggs book (I was super into his earlier book Fungus the Bogeyman).

After the Berlin Wall came down I genuinely thought we'd seen the back of this shit, the last couple of years have made me very fecking anxious.

Every once in a while I see one of these posts.

If it were economically viable to do native Linux ports people would do them, but it's not...

At this point I'm like: "Sorry you're having a tough time with that... you could just install windows though... you can get a Win 11 key let for < $20"

Have been meaning to post this for ages... finally finished the Death Guard Blight Hauler (1 of 3 😬)

(I worry the airbrushed zenithal gradient is too subtle, but otherwise very pleased with it - especially the eye)
