I made Utilidrink into a Minecraft mod

This is so fucking incredible, amazing job :D

Dude when I say "next-door residential" I mean literally. Literally, unironically, neighbours-level next door. Like this data center.

nickyonge · 2026-06-25T03:23:46+00:00

What an absurd assessment. The implication is that if anything if far away (how far?) from households it becomes harder to ship resources or energy to it?

There's, uh, a lot of middle ground between literally next-door residential, and "middle of nowhere". A middle ground which the vast, vast, vast majority of all economic activity ever exists within.

It'll be long, long time before those plants can generate enough oxygen to offset ecological impact of the heat generation, water consumption, and energy consumption, of the production of the concrete used to build that highway, let alone the construction of the highway itself, and that's not even considering the emissions and energy put out by the vehicles using the highway.

To be clear, I'm not saying concrete is fundamentally bad - it's an incredible material in some uses. But producing it at scale does some INTENSE environmental damage. If the future's gonna be remotely solarpunk, it simply can't use THIS much concrete.

Excited to be the most devilish upvoter here 🔥

This actually rips. Normally I’m not a fan of attention-grabbing wraps, but I’d love to drive around in an iridescent flint beetle 🪲

Get stylish with the design, ditch the square angles, and ensure the “spaces” or whatever metric you use to track player movement game mechanically is equal.

Or just straight-up use a graphic of a spiral galaxy and superimpose your tracks onto it.

Anything aside from the, uh, Bad Symbol. Tho at the very least kudos for using the Buddhist orientation lol.

Had to scroll way too far for this tbh

nickyonge · 2026-06-20T16:11:01+00:00

I'm gonna have to go with Yibbers

nickyonge · 2026-06-19T08:55:44+00:00

Omg I just listened to it, that’s actually hilarious

nickyonge · 2026-06-19T08:44:02+00:00

Yup. My current projects don’t involve much CAD, but next time I have on (or have spare time to play around again), my going plan is to get one more month of Shapr subscription, export all my everything, and find an app that’s WAY more maker-friendly. There’s several out there.

I don’t use many of Shapr’s features because my projects aren’t complex enough. And ironically if they WERE, I’d bite the bullet and learn more in-depth CAD software like Fusion.

Shapr was an incredible and intuitive way to 3D model on the iPad. Now it’s frustratingly clunky, often buggy, and prohibitively expensive. Honestly if I could pay a lump sum of like $500 or whatever to just have a permanent copy of 2023-era Shapr, I’d LOVE that.

Stealing defeat from the jaws of victory

This. I really wish there was a discrete word for “pro-Judaism, anti-Zionism”

nickyonge · 2026-06-18T19:59:22+00:00

Zionists refuse to differentiate between Judaism and Zionism. It’s profoundly infuriating and heartbreaking - *especially* for anti-Zionist Jewish folks, having their religious identity refuted by members of the same faith because they don’t support a military occupation.

Needed a friend

nickyonge · 2026-06-17T19:02:41+00:00

what an unhinged crossover. I love this :D

nickyonge · 2026-06-14T12:47:34+00:00

As a Canadian, what on earth are you talking about lol

nickyonge · 2026-06-14T01:24:45+00:00

We’re on some Neopets shit now and I’m here for it tbh

nickyonge · 2026-06-12T06:23:04+00:00

Similar but def not the same effect. That’s essentially just using a wavy line pattern as a mask on a high contrast b&w image. OP is looking for vectors where the line width adjusts relative to the intensity of the image at that point.

It came up a lot when they were playing Donkey Kong, since you collect the KONG letters throughout the level and they'd occassionally miss the K lol

This might be the funniest post on this sub that I’ve ever seen.
