No AI. Made these inside game Rust, painting on in-game canvases with real effort and too much coffee.

@Eltk_xo Actual Queen!

Spent the day in Middle-earth and didn't want to leave 🥲

@Chicken10641261 @Eltk_xo hehehehehe

@Eltk_xo wheres stimpee

@Baumann_Mac Thank you!

When the plant Mimosa pudica is touched or damaged by insects, it quickly closes its leaves as a defence. This happens because the plant sends fast electrical and calcium signals through its tissues, warning other parts of the plant that it is being eaten. These signals cause cells to lose water pressure, making the leaves fold inward within seconds. This rapid movement may help protect the plant by discouraging insects from continuing to feed, making it a simple but effective survival response. 📹 Masatsugu Toyota

It’s strange to live in a world where people think every scientist, researcher, or doctor is a shill - but an anonymous X account is telling the truth.

An average picture that you save on your phone or PC has a size of around 800 kilobytes. It doesn't do anything, it's just a static image. Now take a game like Elite which had a size of 22 kilobytes on the BBC Micro, or 82 kilobytes on the C64 - and now think about what Braben and Bell turned those 22 kilobytes (or 82 kilobytes) into. A universe with eight galaxies, each containing 256 star systems (for a total of 2,048 planets/systems). Each system also featured unique details: government type, economy, technology level, population, commodity prices, and even descriptive text (e.g., a planet known for "carnivorous arts graduates" or similar quirky combinations). If you still need a bit more help to contextualize that, try this: Elite was smaller than many modern text files or desktop icons, yet it contained (and let you freely explore!) a multi-galaxy-spanning universe that felt vast and limitless. By the way - for thos who will argue "but the universe and stars were created randomly, so that's easy" - I think you wil find that the word is procedurally (with structure), which is not random... and anything but easy. Oh, and by the way, the game also rendered 3D wireframe ships, stations, and planets in real time on processors with 2 MHz. Impressed yet? This is no slight on today's game designers. They work with what they have, and that's okay. But when you think about the worlds that some programmers created with the tools they were given, it sometimes breaks my brain trying to understand how they did it. Elite is a true masterpiece on so many levels. I played the C64 version back in the day, and even 40+ years later it still feels like one of the most incredible programming wonders ever.

S/o to my Warringa Park family!! 🙏🏿 🇦🇺

@JohnCleese This is not a real photo. There are zero school where this is a problem? It's made up to emotionally manipulate fools. A billion Muslims on Earth don't care what other people eat. And even if a few do, we just ignore them.

The wider community should not have to accede to the phobias of minority groups

My first Emergence show in Melbourne - this bit is me explaining why my guess is that we are the only civilisation in the Milky Way … although I would be delighted and relieved to be wrong :-)

Lots of discussion surrounding the updated Rust player model. Your model is updated, what your player looks like on Staging now will likely change for release in June. On the roadmap, we do have player customization scheduled to be released Q4 2026, allowing you to change your appearance.

The sound of a Kookaburra.. 😊

Colin Mochrie shares his favorite moment from WHOSE LINE IS IT ANYWAY.

@Goldstatetimes @krassenstein Australians understand that Trump is a selfish lying con, child rapist. And that our government is almost as compromised as the USA.

@krassenstein Absolute lies

BREAKING: Australia has CANCELLED the 91-story Trump Tower they planned to build. The local developer saying the Trump brand has become “toxic". “Let’s just say that with the Iran war and everything else, the Trump brand was increasingly unpopular in Australia,” David Young, CEO of Altus Property Group, told CNN in a statement.

It’s happening…

@DrPepperTexan @ILeonardaJonie Cools math. Watch it again, you missed the threat and intimidation part. That's the point.

@ILeonardaJonie Excuse me but the USA provides $3 billion in aid to Israel. The budget is $7.4 Trillion. That means aid to Israel is takes up 0.000405405% of the budget. It isn’t robbery.

Israel Has Been ROBBING Americans

@russ61 @CampbellNewman @JEChalmers Exactly.

@CampbellNewman @JEChalmers As opposed to aged care where they take the inheritance? Or, the large number of Australians who get no inheritance anyway because their parents just aren't that well off given the shit economy of the last 2 decades?

It's pretty simple. Young Australians just need to know this. @JEChalmers is taxing your future inheritance by taking it from your grandparents and parents right now. That's right. Do you want it or do you want the government to grab it?

I can't get enough of his playing.this one is extremely inventive.🥁🔥

@theheraldsun No one in politics can fix Australia.

Aussie voters have declared they will abandon Labor for One Nation after the Albanese government’s budget sparked fury over two major issues. HAVE YOUR SAY > bit.ly/4v4xcsj

@theheraldsun One Nation says they stand for Australian workers but ALWAYS ALWAYS have vote against them.
