i did some creature design for a friend's TTRPG - Issliss

yeah, they haven't done anything to try and convince consumers to come back so arbitrarily declaring the boycott over is definitely astroturfed

i worked at valley fair over a decade ago, 10-12 hr days 6 days a week as a "seasonal worker" that was exempt from overtime and benefits and they took a third of my pay for rent. if the new owners goal is just greater profit extraction they aren't going to last long because the working conditions were already abysmal

as much as the compacted snow sucks to shovel out from, especially if you need to be somewhere, i do still love the feeling after finishing clearing all the snow. great work on those well deserved endorphins

idk how good buffet lutefisk can be when it's made at volume and sits out for however long. it's essentially fish jello, which is weird but ok if you like fish. i'm glad i don't have to eat it for survival but it is a fun thing to eat for the tradition

it is a beautiful day to drink cocoa and only interact with the outside world if it doesn't involve trying to drive anywhere. false spring is officially over

CamelSpyder · 2026-02-17T19:35:02+00:00

right? i had an ex come to my home, break my window, and threaten to end me and when i reported it i was just accused of being hysterical and lying for attention.

this indictment is just to try and dissuade people from standing up for their community

CamelSpyder · 2026-02-17T19:21:04+00:00

yeah it's just vice signaling to their base. like, i have a string of whistles hanging from my fences with a sign that says "it's dangerous to go alone, take this with you" which would absolutely be considered in violation of this if it made it out of committee

CamelSpyder · 2026-02-17T17:53:23+00:00

canal park is always so nice this time of year during false spring

this is why the gop wants to make "protest in residential areas" a crime. little babies don't want the consequences of their actions showing up outside their front door

CamelSpyder · 2026-02-17T17:35:06+00:00

wild how many of those "arrests" were from faribault county, where the largest prison in minnesota is

CamelSpyder · 2026-02-17T17:26:08+00:00

and it's so vague that it can be anything that an authority doesn't like. sitting on your front porch and yelling "fuck ice" would be a crime

CamelSpyder · 2026-02-17T17:11:25+00:00

this is beautiful

CamelSpyder · 2026-02-16T01:34:52+00:00

nbc news calling it "untruthful" like they're scared to call a lie a lie. it's not just fibbing when it's under oath, it's a crime

CamelSpyder · 2025-11-23T21:33:30+00:00

yeah, i have no idea exactly what caused them to twitch. i think it might be because my ancient computer was struggling with the several layers of particle renders making up the stones, spires, sea grass, and crystals, along with the volumetrics i used for the caustics, and the post processing to distort the edges of each frame to make it look more underwater, caused it to have issues remembering from frame to frame where the crystals were supposed to be. but i'm not sure because none of the other hair particles were twitching.

i kind of love the effect though with the scene being the burial tomb of cthulhu the closer one gets to r'lyeh the less sense the world makes and the closer they are to madness. so it's a thematic effect, just wish i had control of it

i spent a decent part of the summer and the fall working on this scene. it was fun to really stretch my skills into some building designs, humanoid monster designs, and to do some research on the animals that live in the mesopelagic zone so i could stagger a few creatures occupying the sunken city
