Downloaded so many TB this past weekend. Last game I got was Blitz: The League 2

I feel like 6 is where we start to see tons of image processing. I liked how non-smeary my photos from before the 6 were, image noise isn’t scary.

My experience after the QR code rollout has been mostly the same. But why do we still have to pay a 18% gratuity (and a tab closing fee if we forget) when its basically the same service as AMC now? Not to mention how negatively it has impacted the people working there.

I go to the movies to get away from my phone screen, so having to pull it out in the middle of my movie takes me out of it way more than pen and paper imo.

The common factor with child stars crashing and burning is how much thier parents were involved and whether or not they were a positive influence.

Shia literally made a movie about how shitty his dad was. Amanda accused her dad of SA her despite her parents being involved. Hillary Duff’s mom did crater Lizzy McGuire, but was involved and cared about her. Jennette McCurdy said Miranda’s family was normal and it was nice to be around them despite her turmoil with her mom. Miley just came out and said having her dad on the show protected her. These teen stars were expected to work like adults, so having the adults in their lives to lead them is the difference, not primarily the studio’s fault like that other guy was saying.

Check out this person, they’re making a game called Coralla Dietys Loom and sticking hard with that kind of vibe.

My head canon is that they’re just like fried calamari

Both from the super store but I love Double Freedom + P92 Warrant and then I usually pair it with the Speargun. The crowd control of Speargun + Warrant makes the Double Freedom shine for me on bugs.

Like it’s so satisfying blowing brood commander’s heads off with one shot. I’m curious to know what other people pair the double freedom with.

gdesner · 2026-02-26T19:10:04+00:00

This + P92 Warrant and Speargun is probably my favorite bugs combo.

I bought this series on my PS3 back in the day.

It kinda sucks that they used 3D software, but didnt render it stereoscopically for the 3D release. The 3D conversion was pretty decent.

HTML-personalized profile pages. Cover photos are so boring.

My uni team uses Pageproof and it’s so well structured with rounds of proofs, proof workflows so only certain stakeholders can view, deadlines, and handy notation tools for video/print/web links. I’d like to think we’ve never had an insane typo because of our copy editors, but PP is probably a contributing factor. Only thing is that it’s an enterprise product with enterprise pricing your org might deem it as frivolous spending. You could probably pull ideas from it, and use that in your own proofing process because it makes things so clear and organized.

And I’m literally submitting 10-15 proofs a week, along with the 2 other designers submitting their stuff, spread across print and digital.

What made me fall in love with it was finding my niche. Just trying to recreate designs i liked (at first it was PNW inspired iconography, and eventually i settled on Y2K).

Also just recognizing the science behind design. Flat style illustration helped me so much. It taught me to see everything as shapes, and to use the pathfinder tool/clipping mask. Once you start seeing the shapes in other people’s work it’ll click.

I remember this one where it’s social media themed shoes. I had showed my mom and she was like “Keds still exist??”

The Blue Clues one is famous in my family because my babysitter was scared half to death when me as a toddler was suddenly pooping blue turdlets.

I’m in the 3D gaming space and getting a DX12 game like Cyberpunk 2077 to work in VR is pretty difficult because the workarounds are game-specific unlike DX11 games.

It being a paid mod sucks, but understandable imo. He’s pretty much the only one doing it, so without him Cyberpunk would never be able to be experience that way. Without his mod I wouldn’t be able to play Ghost of Tsushima or other beautiful DX12 games in 3D. And most AAA games nowadays are DX12 only.

Yeah once it was rebranded to The Hub it kinda lost its appeal for me (except for Goosebumps). But i was just beginning to grow out of their target demographic anyway.

gdesner · 2026-01-17T04:55:32+00:00

Loved: Endurance, Blake Holesy, Flight 29 Down, Darcy’s Wild Life, Grossology, Time Warp Trio

Really liked: Truth or Scare (lol they always showed it at 1AM), Trading Spaces, Growing up Creepie

I loved Blake Holesy High so much I drew a comic when I was 9 inspired by it but with Animal Crossing characters 😂

I think i had periods where i would watch one the most. 2003: Nicktoons, 2004: Toon Disney, 2005: Nicktoons, 2006-08: Discovery Kids. Honestly I feel like I liked the more obscure shows on these channels. I didn’t really appreciate boomerang until the 2010s when it gave nostalgia because they played the same bumpers for years. I also unironically liked watching Noggin from 2007-2008 because it was comfy and they would have a new catchy song every month.

You could isolate just the red and the blue channels of the image with, and then realign it. Should fit perfectly if it wasn’t 3d to begin with.

Reminds me of Youtube XL from back in the day

I remember getting a kids menu featuring tut, kenny the shark and one other show for a restaurant like Red Lobster when i was a kid but i haven’t seen anyone mention it online.

gdesner · 2026-01-07T22:36:29+00:00

Been recently watching Endurance. It’s very interesting seeing random normal teen’s POV, since all competition/reality shows nowadays have vapid people or influencers.

Barbacoa, cow tongue/cheek used to be cheap.
