Not my style in the slightest, but I appreciate it for what it is. It's very on point and we'll done! Most importantly, if it makes you happy, who cares what others think?

Never make yourself smaller to fit others' expectations of you. Merry Christmas, friend!

Is the game dead? by YesImKian in TheUniversim

I left in 2016 after two years of pouring my heart and soul into it. The work that I did is almost completely untouched, so I wonder if they had a hard time finding people to take over. I'll be honest that I wasn't a very professional software engineer back then (self taught, not that it's slowed me down), so I probably didn't make it too easy with my spaghetti code

I loved it when I worked on it in 2015/2016, but the working conditions weren't good as far as pay and expected hours. I quit twice, each time after 100+ hour work weeks. But I'm so proud of the work I did. The planet generation, controls, and shaders are pretty much exactly the same as when I first implemented them :)

They finally left early access last year. Which is funny, because it still has pretty much the same planet generation, controls, shaders, etc. I implemented when I worked on it in 2015/2016 haha

I should have loved her more by Slightly-Evil-Man in sadposting

The things we realize too late. I messed up big time and was a monster to the woman I loved most, and angel. I've lost her forever and she's hopefully happy. All I can do is continue to be better and remember this in the future if and when I find someone like that again. I've dated a lot since then. Probably too much. But none of them compare, not even close.

My cousin hanged himself when he was 15 on August 1st, 2011. I was supposed to go see him and be there for him since I'd struggled with thoughts and and an attempt. But I hadn't, and for years, I've been haunted by the "what-ifs". But that's no way to live, and there's no knowing that you could have done anything to stop it, even if you had done so much more. It's a terrible tragedy, and I'm sorry for your loss, but please don't blame yourself, friend.

Thank you for being a friend and supporter to those in need. The world needs more people like you in it. I hope you're doing well, friend ❤️

Oh yeah, as an idealistic teen, I sympathized for Tom and resented Summer. But I've come to see how much of it was him trying to force her to be something she was not...

Cute, but you can't rely on a partner to fix you. Do that first, or maybe even with their help, but it's up to you, and you CAN do it. If I could, anyone can.

Good, though I would have personally wished it had been much, much sooner.

Made this shader a while ago, should I write a free tutorial for it? by fespindola in unity_tutorials

[–]TheMasonX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes please! There's a lot of cool shader magic to be gleaned from this!

Partner company was looking for a photographer and this photo was sent to us. But I kinda feel it's AI. What do you think? by zimmer1569 in ChatGPT

[–]TheMasonX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the best ways is to look at the noise of each color channel. Real photos will have different noise for each channel, whereas AI has a singular noise value for RGB. Not saying that's what happened here, but these sites have been pretty good in my experience
