I love you Stardew Valley I love you Stray I love you Untitled Goose Game I love you indie games with no microtransactions that understand having fun is the whole, entire point.
By far the funniest transition timelines are the ones from trans men where the "before" picture is some teeny little guy with sad baby seal eyes and the "after" picture looks like Kratos
This is one of the top posts in r/transtimelines and it really sums up what I'm talking about
My irl saw this post and sent me this even crazier transformation today! The little guy to Kratos pipeline is real!!!
The fascinating thing about this particular patch note is that it implies the game engine is fully rendering your character's penis at all times, not just when you take your pants off.
I'd say it was because they were accurately rendering the bulge, but if they're clipping through, that clearly can't be the case either.
Even if they wanted the bulges to be meticulously accurate, the sensible approach would have been to include a hidden penis size slider in the mesh for the trousers. That way, you could render the trousers with a bulge of appropriate dimensions baked into the mesh and simply switch the penis off whenever it's fully covered; it'd be hugely computationally cheaper than doing fabric simulation to determine the bulge dimensions dynamically, you'd save on running needless penis physics calculations whose results will never be seen by the player, and there'd be no risk of penis clipping. The way they currently seem to be doing it is just sloppy penis optimisation.
This reminds me of when you see a fossil replica and they've replaced the missing parts with reconstruction in a different material so you can see what the object used to be.
I've always thought that was beautiful.
if i told you what rhis sounded ljke i dont think youd believe me so just listen
Mental Crop Rotation
When farmers grow the same crop too many years in a row, it can leave their soil depleted of minerals and other nutrients that are vital to the health of their fields.
To avoid this, farmers will often alternate the crops that they grow because some plants will use up different minerals (such as nitrogen) while other plants replenish those minerals. This process is known as “crop rotation.”
So the next time you find that you need to step away from a project to work on something else for a while, don’t beat yourself up for “quitting” that project. Give yourself permission to practice “mental crop rotation” to maintain a healthy brain field.
Because I’ve found that when that unnecessary guilt and pressure are removed from the process, a good mental crop rotation can help you feel more energized and invigorated than ever once you’re ready to rotate back to that project.
: A crucial part of crop rotation is that the field is let fallow sometimes. You plant what’s called a “cover crop”, which is something you don’t expect to harvest– it’s there for its roots to hold the soil in place, and often it’ll be what’s called a nitrogen-fixer, i.e. a plant that can pull nitrogen out of the air and fix it into the soil with its roots (but sometimes it won’t, sometimes it’s really just there to shelter the soil surface), and then you’ll till in that cover crop, or let the frost kill it and the stalks lie as mulch, and then you’ll rotate productive crops back into that field the next season.
It’s important, though, to understand that during the fallow period, no nutrients are removed from that ground, and nothing is expected of it. Whatever the land grows then, it keeps, and it gets tilled back in or decomposes in place, to return its energy to the earth.
We’re not allowed, in our current society, to just let our minds be fallow for a bit, to produce nothing for export, to make nothing that can be sold. But it’s part of good land stewardship, to give every field time when it doesn’t need to give you anything back.
So yes, grow and produce different things from time to time, rotate them around your mind and exercise different mental muscles, take different things from your creative processes, yes– but also, give yourself a fallow spell now and again, and let the field of your mind grow things for itself to keep, to break down and save for later.

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.
Still feels weird that the same band made "You're Gonna Go Far, Kid" and "Pretty Fly (For A White Guy)"
It's like if Smash Mouth and Fall Out Boy were one band.
The Offspring are honestly a contender for the funniest punk band ever, made even funnier by the fact that Dexter Holland is pushing 60 now and has a PhD in virology.
Like imagine being on an academic committee and reviewing a dissertation on HIV protein-encoding genomes and it's from a guy with frosted tips whose greatest legacy is the Crazy Taxi soundtrack.
That's the Offspring.
I realized I never posted these here on tumblr! 2020 did unspeakable things to my mind and body…I staggered away from lockdown with a whole pitch of how I would make an animated Cats adaptation. I got the whole thing up here *taps skull*—it would be Very Good. I can’t think about it too much lest I awaken my sleeping obsession…still want to finish Old Deut and Macavity one of these days.
Fun fact: The term "Jellicle Cat" is actually the cats’ mishearing of the term "Dear Little Cat" (this gives me much joy)

my absolutely favorite thing about the barbie movie is that at no point whatsoever it explains how the mattel employes know about barbieland like imagine starting your new job on mattel and the first thing they tell you on orientation is
"yeah barbieland is real and we've had incidents in the past with a doll coming into the real world please see page 7 of your employee handbook for reference also if you wander into a random room on the 17th floor and meet a nice old lady don't mind her it is just the ghost of our founder"
MY BLACK ASIAN ASS HAS BEEN TRYIN TO TELL YALL ABOUT THE BEAUTY OF SPAM EGGS AND RICE FOR DECADES ITS SO CHEAP IT COST LIKE $5 AND U CAN EAT IT FOR WEEKS. THATS LIKE 25 CENTS A MEAL 🍳 🍙
I guess I’ve been lied by Monty Python...
I don't know about where y'all live but Spam is pricey here. Like I could just buy MEAT. I feel like I'm living in the darkest timeline.
So... you were not lied to by Monty Python, Zaziecurie! Some people don't like SPAM, other people like SPAM, and most people who like SPAM don't like too much SPAM.
Graham's character didn't like SPAM, Terry Gilliam's character liked SPAM, and Eric Idle's character loved SPAM so much he would just eat SPAM with nothing else if he could!
Sound on if you guys wanna know what a little King Vulture sounds like 👀
