i turned off cleartype in windows because i hate the way antialiased text looks. the downside is that there's a lot of fonts and websites that are very clearly not meant for that kind of shit.

so i use ublock origin to block the fonts and now i'm typing to you in times new roman

i made two playermodels for gmod.
the jerma one was used in a variety of awful meme videos and an actually good NPC addon
the cat playermodel is used by one of the members of the yogscast and also got popular on twitter, even getting fanart (which i cant find)

not bad for some 15-minute jobs

matcaps are some of my favourite effects in games. halo CE and half life use it so much and i love it.

also early CG matcap blob dog stays in my mind forever

bluesky believes i am 16-17 based on my face. i am not. i also cannot even begin to fix this as i am greeted with an error message every time i try to re-do the check, incredible.

as a consequence of this, i can't view any videos deemed "mature" nor can i use dms (???)

also PO'ed has a level select screen that shows the sculptures used for the sprites, as well as a series of passwords based on the names of devs or references to things they liked (list from TCRF)

fun and/or evil and fucked up fact: i did not animate the reload with any bones. it's all shape keys and object transforms. using the .MD3 format has ruined my workflow in indescribable ways :3
