hey are any of y’all game designers (or know some designers) who’d wanna collab on a concept for a mini game 👀
how many times do we think I could go through the communion line at a standard catholic church before they caught me and threw me out?
additional information:
- I was raised catholic and would easily blend into the congregation
- I could hastily change out accessories between rounds including a face mask for lower recognizability
- the bigger the church the more lines they have. I could probably easily go through multiple lines unnoticed, but that's not what this game is about
- this game is about making a priest decide between keeping his composure and calling me on my bullshit
Thee excuse would have to be "I have to make up for missing church the past ten years."
OK FUNNY STORY ABOUT THIS CHEESE BUT IT SUCKS ASS FOR ME
look at this nice slice of swiss cheese i modeled for 3d ap art
when i first modeled it the other day it looked like this, i gave it a render and everything before i put the uvs on because i had to leave but i saved it exactly as it was here.
but when i opened it today the entire mesh was FUCKED UP like IT LITERALLY TRIANGULATED FOR NO REASON WITHOUT ME DOING ANYTHING
IT GOT DIGITALLY MOLDY
(exploring a god damn river basin) there better not be any god damn rivers in here
Wtf. Just found out the book im reading is a horror novel even though they didn't put "reader beware, you're in for a scare" on the cover. How was i supposed to know

concrete meaning "not abstract" predates concrete meaning, you know, the material, by about two hundred years or so

guy who invented concrete was like “this is the least abstract thing I’ve ever seen”

I can’t stop thinking about this message, so I spent a while trying to isolate just the writing and make it transparent. I might order a shirt with it

okay so i often watch these chocolate guy videos and think to myself “what is the point of making this out of chocolate? modeling chocolate is reportedly disgusting, this is not really intended for consumption, why doesn’t he just make it out of clay or something”
but watching this video i FINALLY realized.
chocolate is the only sculpture medium that you can melt and then freeze for effect without some serious equipment.
like. the process of letting the chocolate drip down over the water balloon? yeah that chocolate only needs to be, like, a little over 100F/38C. that’s a touchable temperature, that’s something that you can put your fingers in without burning them off. and then it freezes again at about room temperature! and granted you want the ambient environment a little colder than room temperature, because otherwise the heat from your hands will start to melt it, but again, being able to melt this medium with your hands is a bonus.
clay doesn’t melt. you can make it liquid-y by adding water, but that doesn’t harden up again afterwards, or when it does, it’s EXTREMELY fragile. plastic melts, but at pretty high temperatures that can be dangerous to handle, and it’s also really easy to burn and will release toxic gases when it does burn. metal melts, but that’s obviously even HOTTER and MORE dangerous. wood doesn’t melt. stone technically melts but like. good luck with that one.
chocolate melts at a reasonable, human-touchable temperature and freezes again at room temperature, which means you can make solid shapes from dripping or pouring melted chocolate and letting it harden.
the only other sculpting medium i know that does that is wax, and i think wax is generally too soft/malleable overall for the kind of large structures that this guy makes.
so i finally, FINALLY fucking get why he does this shit in chocolate oh my god.
I mean, I’m pretty sure he does them in chocolate because he’s a pastry chef and chocolatier by training (really early training, too! Like 14 years old!)
Like all of the above about the features of chocolate and how it allows itself to be used to make this kind of detailed sculpture are true but um, pretty sure he makes sculptures out of chocolate because he’s a pastry chef and these are his media. One of the most remarkable things about his work is actually that he’s absolutely dead insistent that every one of these is made to be eaten: a lot of chocolate sculpture is (or especially was before he started throwing down this way) kinda … .second class food. It really is JUST about the sculpture.
Guichon is adamant that it’s supposed to also taste amazing and is meant to be eaten.
He’s not a non-food sculptor who stumbled across chocolate as the perfect material and medium; he’s a pastry chef who internalized that his awesome food could also be awesome sculpture AND still be food. He works in chocolate because that’s the point.
For the smaller things he makes, you’ll often see him actually eating it at the end, and I think that’s a great indication that he’s actually trying to make Good Food, not just PRETTY food.
Also! He’s not (or mostly not) using modeling chocolate! Modeling chocolate is a paste made by combining regular chocolate and corn syrup to make it easy to model by hand. Guichon uses ordinary tempered chocolate or other edible components for the vast majority of his work.
To be honest I think the idea that ‘dogs need to be “held accountable” for their actions’ has done more damage to dog training and ownership than almost anything else
Honestly any training theory that puts you as the trainer/owner as opposition to your dog is the biggest red flag ever. I cannot imagine going to work with any animal with such a combative mindset as some people online form their entire training mindset around
Honestly! People who do this shit aren't keeping a dog for the right reasons. They want something to be Dominant™ over, a creature they can train to unquestioningly obey their every command, but much more cheaply and simply than it would be with a child who might eventually learn to answer back. They're looking for someone to bully with no consequences, basically, and that's not a reason to keep a dog at all!
A dog is your friend! That's the reason to have a dog, because you want to have a friend who lives with you! This friend isn't quite as smart as you are and they don't have opposable thumbs or a concept of money or anything like that so you have a responsibility to pick up the slack in that regard and keep them safe and healthy in a way you would generally not have to do for a human friend, but nevertheless they are a friend, and you don't forge strong, trusting friendships that last and create loving bonds by bullying anybody. Even when your friend has bad habits or doesn't know their own strength, you don't fix those problems by bullying them!
If you aren't viewing a dog as your slightly-dumber-than-you friend who you love and care for then you're fucking doing it wrong!!

It's almosttt as if....paying your workers decently makes them happier and more eager for work. W ooooooo W. Who would've thought?
"a lesson in emotional intelligence" more like common fucking sense that more people want a job that pays better
I know we're all dunking on the way this article is worded (which is fair, it's dumb) but articles like this, where business owners are the ones saying raising wages is the right move, are super important. Unfortunately, most business owners don't wanna listen when workers complain. They make up excuse after excuse of "you just don't understand". But when a fellow business owner says "no, actually, YOU don't understand" they might actually listen.
Is it dumb that we need articles like this? Yes. Is this worded in a really weird way? Also yes. Do we still need more and more articles like this? YES VERY MUCH SO!!!!!!!
You are my pride and joy
Hi I’m crying thank you for this
this post always makes me bittersweet happy and I need it more every day
