Finally, best pop-up message I’ve ever received from Adobe 🫠 (Fuck the bloatware company Adobe)
Felt. I’m just thankful that the neighborhood areas around my uni has some attempt at decent separated bike lanes (until you get to the main roads ofc where having greater bike protection would be far more beneficial but alas lol)
Thanks so much for crushing my beloved FWAffle House after no one wanted to crush it last FWA x3
Made a Fluxer account, apparently a Discord alternative that just started up in Sweden, and quite well-polished so far! May even be better than Discord in a lot of ways too. Any mutuals are free to friend req! fluxer.app
Whew just spent 6 hours straight clearing and sorting all my old gmail! Whew feels good to move on.
Snapshot of typical transit infrastructure in Sweden… and this is a small town. Gosh I miss Sweden alley ;w;
The #NFC2026 Opera went amazing!!! I’m so glad to have gotten to partake in it on Piccolo TwT
I was confused at first cuz there were many tests out there that counted differently. This one subtracted from 100 lol. But the one everyone was doing counted up. But same exact question.
But yeah no. I too got lots of photos to sort through. Nearly 30,000 worth. And it’s been increasing in amount every year. It’s overwhelming. Even if it’s mostly redundant stuff. I keep saying, ah just take it a month at a time! Until I remember that’s 96 months worth…
What’s the point of having the post composer at the top of the screen here? It’s too high on screen, and kinda clunky with Bsky trying to mimic former Twtter. Besides, the plus icon in bottom right does the job just fine.
I’m sure MORE art from me is on all y’all’s mind, plus well… comms ;w; (I did technically accept one! Just need to get back to it TwT) But do tell me what you’d like to see!
Funnily enough, I already made a 3D head model in Blender, but only to use as a reference for my 3rd foam head attempt last year… I have friends with 3D printers- I coulda just skipped straight to having a gyroid TPU head, but alas I had to stubbornly persist with foam 🫠
After 3 years of suffering with carving 4 iterations of foam headbases that I could never get symmetrical or ‘smooth’ enough… I’ve finally forfeited and said “I’m just gonna 3D print my head base” ;w;
It’s especially prevalent in very saturated blues. Notice how the most saturated Blue is appears almost black, whereas the most saturated Red actually lightens up. This leaves lots of room for unique coloring effects, such as dark highlights, rim lighting, scattered shadows, etc!
I actually went and took the Procreate color picker at various hues and COLOR moded them all. Seeing the subtle value differences legit changed how I approached coloring.
Make a solid gray color (doesn’t matter what value) layer and set to COLOR blend mode. Easy way to check your values while painting! Generally, if your B/W values look good, then your final color results should look solid!
My parents joked they’d scare me with those Spirit Halloween furry mask last months, but I didn’t think they’d actually do it… So guess what I woke up to after my nap? :D
Okay which one of you macros did it? Public transit is not supposed to be THAT EXCITING
Besides, it's a good way to get me going! Not chained to a comfy mattress, I can wake up and start my morning stretches right there. Then roll up my mat and get started with my day. Cuz having a bed caused me to waste on average 14 hours a day last year @@ --- so this is my solution :D
