The Taco Bell Naked Chicken

Also wow, so many of these replies are Taco Bell

I wonder why they modulated it downwards. Normally you’d do that the minimize the vocal damage of belting high notes daily on tour, but in this case they’re *not* on tour and the range is so wide it makes those low notes tougher instead

Great performance either way, though. Just wondering aloud

Oh, then 10,000% yes

Idk much about your game, but this is very cute

Ah, I misunderstood what “mid cut on a runner” meant then

Spent like two hours tonight learning about mechanical pencils and now I have FOUR on my Japan shopping list for next summer 😐

Apparently you can’t even buy the Uniball Kuru Toga Dive in the US anymore. It’s only secondhand now and the price is more than double the JP MSRP

You’re not supposed to cut pieces off the runner with Godhands. They’re for nub trimming

I use Tamiya-135 nippers to cut pieces out and Godhands to clean up nubs

Sucks to have a pair break, though. I’m sorry that happened

If you had a laser and some Cermark you could rectify both of those issues. Or maybe if you knew someone with a laser who could get Cermark 🤔

I have stared into this abyss and it was fascinating at first and then deeply unfun. You’re really getting into something like ArcGIS territory and at that point it’s not really a game, it’s a functional mapping program/simulator

Being a solo dev is funny like "yea i spent three full years of my life making this. i hope it keeps your attention for at least two hours"

“I’ll just play this city builder for a little while before bed” - from a collection of Bad Ideas

Jake! @spriteborne.bsky.social · 3d

All very, very good choices IMO

Jake! @spriteborne.bsky.social · 3d

I think you should! Absolutely no one but me and my gf sees my collection, but they’re largely in glass cases with LEDs

You put in the work and I think that’s worth celebrating and elevating

Je sais, aussi. Mais, je parle l’anglais

Right??? It’s like the dumbest possible version of string parsing they could have gone with. And yet here we are

I just learned how stupid BlueSky mute words are

I have “ai” muted, for obvious reasons, but it doesn’t just mute “ ai “, it also mutes anything that contains that word, like “pain”

😐

I’ve been on this train for a little while now, but depending on your use case the Retroid Pocket 5 may be it for you. The form factor is essentially a PS Vita

Found this on the AO3 subreddit, and I'm about to let it change my whole life (or at least work really hard to internalize it wrt my writing).

Someone's screenshot of a two-post twitter thread, from user blue (@bluewmist):

the fastest way to kill motivation is to make your identity depend on the outcome. it's called ego involvement. when failing becomes failing as a person, your brain starts avoiding the whole thing. not because you don't care, but because you care too much.

you don't need lower standards. you need less self-worth tangled up in your goals. the work gets easier when it's not about proving who you are.

Pretty accurate, TBH

I accidentally glitched out an animation I was working on and created a perfect example of what the passage of time feels like to someone with ADHD

That’s all 2D. That third dimension will getcha every time

If you ever feel bad about how much difficulty you’re having rotating things in a computer program, just remember that it was originally a problem that the literal Apollo space program needed to solve

State not into the abyss of gimbal lock, for it stares back at you

We were about the watch The Naked Gun when I learned my gf hadn’t seen The Naked Gun so we watched The Naked Gun first and now we can watch The Naked Gun tomorrow

I think whatever you choose, you’re gonna have fun. Just know Zeta is like an order of magnitude more complex than the other two, being a transforming Ver. Ka

Zeong is one of my all-time favorite builds. It’s SO cool and incredibly unique. There is quite literally nothing else like it
