Shader artists need to follow more traditional artists! They have been observing this stuff for centuries and handing down (pleasingly iridescent) pearls of wisdom like this.

Our feature tutorial/artist for today is this set of IRRIDESCENCE references by @mileskitaro! A great ref for your own digital painting, and a useful reminder that there are SO MANY different materials out there for your character and world design! #gamedev #illustration #COLOUR

One day if I can afford it I might get realistic fake sky-lights installed in my home because the way my energy level nosedives when the sun sets is NOT FUN

Like a SAD light that takes up most of the ceiling, and maybe a wall too.

need a big cake that reads "sorry I haven't replied to your DM yet, longterm isolation does weird shit to the human brain and traps it in a negative feedback loop that makes it want to avoid the obvious healthy solution (reaching out to people) and it's an irritatingly difficult cycle to break"

the constant battle of deciding how horny i want to be on main, and wondering if i should set up an alt, and wondering if i'd ever post to main if i had an alt...

not just horny stuff, i'm figuring out loads of things about myself and i want to post clumsy half-baked thoughts about being plural and neurodivergent and eating disorder stuff... just a place i can be more of a mess... or maybe i should just take my real name off my bio and do it here hmm...

I never thought to look up what my middle name means before. That's so cool.

I can be trusted with the big bag of progesterone powder. Nothing bad will come from me having a big bag of progesterone and access to people with knowledge for how to safely use it. This is a good thing that won’t hurt anyone.

burnt myself baking bread again i hope the bread gods accept this sacrifice

upside to putting my headphones over my hair when i'm on camera: less dysphoria because i look more femme downside:

"driven by a motor" is a fucking terrible metaphor and the DSM should remove it: 1/ motors have a throttle 2/ motors can idle, I can't 3/ neurodivergent people often struggle with metaphors

The big shock was the hyperactivity diagnosis. I thought it was just "I get bored easily and I enjoy moving my body" but I see now it's a pathological inability to slow down. Boredom is so uncomfortable I'd rather experience severe physical pain but that's just... normal... right?

"People who get diagnosed ADHD later in life often struggle more once they become aware of how much work they have been doing to cope with it" This surely won't happen to me because I'm so clever and have done so much research! "gets diagnosed" ...oh ...all those things were ADHD too? huh.

Go to your camera roll and search “boat” and post one that you like Relieved to discover most of my photos aren't searchable, but the AI has categorised the ones I've uploaded to the cloud so I do have a good boat:

the kind of error a human would never make because humans aren't* blindly copying chunks of code with no concept of how they work (*usually, we all have bad days)

this bug is actually one of the millennium problems in math, humans don't know how to fix this frontier AI labs are working on cracking this as we speak

kinda sad I didn't do this a while ago because those kink jars have changed so much lately

do think there's a danger of looking at extremely cool shit like a car driving upside down then doing a kickflip before landing, and convincing yourself it's actually lame because the guy funding it is a white supremacist

Holy shit trans people make the best art. Watch this, everyone, it's incredible. And the ending is so sweet omg. 💗

i've started debugging visual disruptions as if they're rendering bugs, by working through a checklist: • your glasses are dirty • eye floaters • after-image from looking out the window on a bright day • migraine aura • eye gunk

really bad insomnia last night because my nose was tickling so badly tonight... feeling a lot better, nose mostly settled, why no sleep? ugh

Bond can't possibly complete his mission without the help of a neurodivergent transgender shader artist.
