Yes, but not that one. I always loved Floop’s castle in Spy Kids. I dunno if there’s a name for that style of architecture, but sculpted interiors and exteriors make me very happy.

Honestly, more people should embrace “theme park houses”. Make life interesting, yanno?

ROBO WANT AN OREO.

Holy fuck I forgot about that comment lmao.

“I will become back my money” is such a great phrase.

It gets better: I heard his dad hates gay people but loves rainbows for some reason. Like, with the amount that he and his followers talk about gay people, you’d think he was the God of Gay or something; and you know what they say, “Like Father, like Son”…

Damn Jesus, you really weren’t joking about that love and acceptance shit, huh? Why’s your dad such a bigot then?

Edit: it makes me kinda sad that Liberace never got to see the modern LGBT community. I’ve never listened to his music; it just makes me kinda sad that he was one of the most flamboyant (and painfully obviously gay) celebrities of all time, but he was born too early to be able to wave his flag without risking his career. Betty White acting as his “beard” was so based too.

There are many days when I hope there is a god out there somewhere. Maybe it’s one created during the first moments of the big bang. Maybe it’s one that came before. Maybe it’s one that came after but due to time fuckery, exists simultaneously at all moments in time. But no matter what, that this god is a kind, loving being with an eternal oasis for all those who never got to be themselves during life. A home for the gay, the trans, the poor, the unloved, the lonely, the disabled, the abused and so forth. A home they never got to have. A place for them to heal from the scars that life gave them.

I used to think Christianity was that; and I think to some extent I still do (I think Jesus, as portrayed in the “canon” books of the New Testament, is an amazing role model), but there’s so much baggage attached to it now that I can’t stomach associating myself with such a hateful group of people. You also get a lot of people on both sides asking how you can be a Christian and trans, or a Christian and a furry; and it gets exhausting having to explain that I treat the Bible as though the only thing you can be certain of are the bits in the New Testament that’re traditionally written in red (for those unfamiliar, many Bibles highlight the words of God and Jesus in red). So fuck all the stuff that says “gay = go to hell, do not pass go, do not collect $200”, because if the text is black then it’s a human interpretation, potentially mistaken, and/or only part of the bigger picture. If it’s red then (supposedly) it’s Jesus’ words themselves, which means that, assuming they weren’t intentionally mistranslated, they were exactly what God/Jesus meant to say.

Nowadays I just say I’m a deist, or agnostic, or if I’m feeling spicy, that I’m an extremely-unorthodox Christian before giving them one of my weirder interpretations of Christianity. If they’re fascinated then they’re probably gonna be a good friend, and if they’re weirded out and run away then I saved myself time and effort.

Bro. I like the idea of introducing non-latin characters into the English alphabet, but holy shit that’s basically unreadable lmao.

Wait, is this real? The summary makes it sound like carbon monoxide, in small doses, is actually a good thing and necessary for our bodies. Is that true? Is it possible for someone to die from an internal CO build-up as a result of an overactive metabolism or something?

That’s great. But how long until I can play Balatro on my iPod Classic?

(I love that indie devs occasionally port their games to nonsensical or obsolete platforms)

Edit: I actually think Balatro would translate fairly well; assuming the iPod Classic has enough ram and CPU to run a visually stripped-down version. When I had an iPod Nano I played solitaire almost obsessively. The controls were a bit slow due to the limitations of using a clickwheel, but they actually worked really well.

On a side note: does anyone know if capacitive clickwheels still under patent, trademark or whatever was keeping other companies from using them? I loved the way the iPod clickwheel felt and it sucked that no one else had a 1:1 replication of it.

Yeah? They must loooove giving me that assignment then.

Are you sure that’s not a furry? You might have accidentally adopted a furry.

Department of Energy.

Jerrrma

Please no. I think I’d have no choice but to firebomb the Vatican.

Edit: Catholic furries are fine, I don’t have anything against them so long as they’re not trying to proselytize or something; but I don’t want the Catholic church anywhere near me.

Thank god they didn’t go furry with any of their characters.

I’m confused, I only see supports for two lower limbs; but what’re you supposed to do with your tail? Just let it drag on the ground? Nah, hammocks are supposed to keep you off the ground. What a shitty hammock.

I don’t have much to add; I don’t watch a lot of anime and when I do it tends to be pirated downloaded. However,

High Guardian Spice is the biggest piece of trash to come out of anime in the last 10 years. It was marketed as anime for diverse groups, most notably highlighting their LGBTQ+ representation. Well, you know you messed up when even people in the LGBTQ+ community hate this show to death—like, no one likes this; this is terrible.

I looked it up and damn. Yeah. I don’t even need to watch an episode, the art style has the “we’re trying to pander as hard as we can” look to it. I dunno if it’s just that it looks like Steven Universe (which I’ve heard is a good show about inclusivity, albeit with a shitty fandom) or something else; but something about it screams “look at how gay and diverse we are! Give us money!”

This is why deities, demons, spirits, angelic beings and so forth should be animalistic, aka furry. Have fun being racist about animals lmao.

Seriously. You can be a good girl or good boy that fishes up a giant whale using nothing but your fishing rod and meows/barks. 10/10.

One time I played exploding kittens and fucked everyone else over so hard that I felt bad and never played again because I was too good at guessing what kinds of cards people had, how and when they’d use them, and remembering who had already used their defuses. The result was that I was really good at setting people up to explode. On top of that, I was told afterward that I had a terrifyingly good poker face; that the moment the game began I turned into an expressionless robot kinda poker face.

Made me feel like an asshole even though I wasn’t meaning to try-hard it.

Imo it has less to do with photorealism vs non-photorealism and more to do with pbr (physically based rendering) vs non-pbr. The former attempts to recreate photorealistic graphics by adding additional texture maps (typically metallic/smooth or specular/roughness) to allow for things ranging from glossiness and reflectivity, to refraction and sub-surface scattering. The result is that PBR materials tend to have little to no noticeable difference between PBR enabled renderers so long as they share the same maps.

Non-pbr renderers, however, tend to be more inaccurate and tend to have visual quirks or “signatures”. For an example, to me everything made in UE3 tends to have a weird plastic-y look to it, while metals in Skyrim tend to look like foam cosplay weapons. These games can significantly benefit from raytracing because it’d involve replacing the non-pbr renderer with a PBR renderer, resulting in a significant upgrade in visual quality by itself. Throw in raytracing and you get beautiful shadows, speculars, reflections, and so on in a game previously incapable of it.
