Some of you might know this story, but someone requested it as a reply to this thread, so I'll do that.
What you should know about me is that I've always had trouble with airport security, especially in the United States. I have 7 very Arabic names, and I travel a lot around the entire planet.

My experience watching @manutdfc.bsky.social vastly improved when I muted and/or unfollowed all the Man United “content creators”. Turns out watching the club is pretty fun when you don’t have an XG sofascore analyst crying about statistics.

Turns out it's really easy to get me to buy indie games on my wishlist by putting them on sale.
I might have only put it on the list because I like the dev, or to help out their steam numbers, but come sale time I'll be like "I don't remember this at all but it's cheap so you know, sure why not"

I hate a new found most hated aspect of 3D modeling; RIGGING. God! Blender’s Rigify is horrendous!!!

Retopology is least favorite thing in 3D modeling. I hate it so much.
