@wonsnedy mannnn I find it hilarious when people in America discover Douyin filters in china are mainstream. Literally this is every girl on Chinese TikTok, every single one of them uses Ai live filters that make them look like KPOP or FinalFantasy characters.

THIS IS CRAZY????? that’s literally ada????

@janurschel is this the same tutorial from way back 2019-ish that you posted on your gumroad? or is it updated to cover Blender 5.0 features?

New tutorial free on YouTube! youtube.com/watch?v=BkHTQ-… Tired of rendering with Cycles and Eevee in Blender? Give Octane a try! This tutorial is an introduction to the Octane plugin for Blender and how I use it in a Concept Design workflow. Did I mention the plugin is free?!?!?

@blenderguppy Crazy how much your plugin has evolved since its inception, great work 👏

Just a quick model. #b3d #blender3d

that is not even what pisses me off about this whole thing. These ex-Respawn guys are talking about this like they took a 'BIG RISK' leaving their old "Corporate jobs" and "golden handcuffs" to "go indie". WHEN THEY LITERALLY GOT MILLIONS IN VC FUNDING RIGHT OFF THE BAT. They're earning 6 figure salaries with a sizable team and pretending its "Indie". Compare that to actual Indie devs who have 0 funding and made their games while working service jobs like ConcernedApe did while working on Stardew valley. its like laughable what these idiots think is "hardship"/"risk-taking"

I think it’s time we talk about something uncomfortable. Over the last decade, social media has fundamentally changed how people experience reality. Social Media Algorithms reward agreement and then communities form around those shared views. Dissent gets filtered out. Over time, you stop hearing actual criticism - not because you’re right, but because you’ve essentially curated it away. That certainly feels good in the short term. You feel validated. All the time. You start to believe that you're special because you surround yourself with people that tell you that you are and you're telling them that they are. And you're all one happy fucking family full of very special people. But that creates a dangerous illusion: That your bubble represents the actual world out there. And then you get the reality check: You ship a product, you release a film, you launch a game... and suddenly you're not being pampered anymore. And it feels shocking - almost offensive - because how could you have been wrong after you've been told you're right so many times, over and over again? But what you're experiencing is not malice. It's insulation. The actual truth is: Growth requires friction. It requires being told you’re wrong. It requires being humbled. And it's no goddamn fun, but you'll be better for it afterwards. I also learned that the hard way: When I went to art school, I thought I was talented. I’d been told so my whole life cause I was drawing and painting pretty pictures that looked nice. Then I got there and realized that “pretty” isn’t the same as meaningful. I got my work torn apart, work that I had labored over. My tutors ripped into me because I didn't respect them enough to actually think through my work. And... they were right. That was painful. But it was the lesson I needed at the time. The same thing happens in game development right now. Because people form these bubbles, they think they've nailed it. But then players tell them otherwise. What matters is how you react then: Either retreat into defensiveness and keep making the same mistakes or actually listen and be willing to learn. Life is short, folks. Being humbled might be uncomfortable for a while. But usually you then get to look back at some point and understand that this was the moment you started to learn something new.

Bruh. "GOLDEN HANDCUFFS"?? "taking Risks"??? You guys literally got VC FUNDING, working COMFORTABLY with 6 figure salaries. Compare that to True indie Devs who have to work on something while literally working at mcdonalds level jobs like ConcernedApe did on Stardew Valley. 🤣

@Yazanios You got skills! 👀

another Paige WIP. its looks promising so far.

@RRutilius753 @Ignis_Rex Lol ok bot

@Ignis_Rex lol ok wumao

How China responded to chip sanction with rare earth bans. The US is bringing a baseball bat to a gunfight. 1/2

@balashovann that is incredible work! never thought 3D coat could be used in this way

Just recently thought of projecting some art onto my base mesh. Planning to finish it up and add it to my texturing portfolio. Still a lot of work ahead, really want to make it clean and polished.

San Francisco/norcal tech bros are the only dudes earning 300k and still are incels with their 10:1 male to female gender ratio in their industry 😂. You won't ever catch SoCal Kevin Nguyen types with 60k salaries acting like this ever, socal fboys be earning minwage and still be pulling EZ.

Duality of SF tech bros 💌

@TaylorIndiana @thinking_panda hell yea! i support this! I can't wait til these guys find out that 40% of top US Ai researchers at Ai companies in the US are Chinese 😂

@thinking_panda Kick all the #Chinese students out. They hate America 🇺🇸

During an interview with the 25-year-old Chinese student who was Harvard's valedictorian, two old American men were fighting behind her - it was like some kind of metaphor.😂 You cannot make satirical sitcoms in the US these days because real life can look like this.

@skepticempiric @RnaudBertrand Lmfao. I dont think that point ur making supports your point of view like u think it does 🤣

RIP American AI industry. According to a recent study by the Paulson Institute (archivemacropolo.org/interactive/di…), 38% of the top-tier AI talent working in the US are Chinese, more than Americans themselves.

@dwarkesh_sp lmfao not this slop again. Literally pulling numbers out of his behind then citing NED/USAID thinktank funded sources 😂

If you include local debt, China's debt/GDP ratio might be pushing 200% That's astoundingly high. (The US is arguably already in a fiscally unsustainable position with a mere 120%). Does this mean China will suffer the same fate as Japan in the 1990s? How much does this debt problem actually matter for China's ability to compete at the frontier in high tech & AI, since provinces like Shanghai and Guangdong (where some of the leading Chinese are based) are in a relatively stronger fiscal position? Full episode with Victor Shih @vshih2 out now!

@TauCetiGG This is some classic concept art shit. Everyone in the industry knows concept artists do this all the time, its just they dont normally get caught. Photobashing, kitbashing, etc are literally taught in the industry day 1.

🚨NEW: Bungie has issued a statement addressing plagiarism claims for Marathon, confirming that a former artist included unauthorized artwork. "We immediately investigated a concern regarding unauthorized use of artist decals in Marathon and confirmed that a former Bungie artist included these in a texture sheet that was ultimately used in-game. "We have reached out to 4nt1r34l to discuss this issue and are committed to do right by the artist." thegamepost.com/bungie-respond…

literally this^ @ReiganDono lmfao. Look at any of her other pictures on the girl's actual twitter page. does she look like what most people consider asian? she looks VERY european. She just has her hair up in the stereotypical chopstick hair and suddenly dumbasses think she's asian

@ReiganDono @xaqq13 @PaulSkallas No, although around 97% land of Turkey located in Asian, it is a European country politically.

@GretlTime @RnaudBertrand bro is getting ratio'ed so hard in the first few seconds of responding lmfao. @gretltime get a grip.

@RnaudBertrand No, FT and you are wrong. The conflict can best be summed up this way:

The FT is right. Gaza will be seen by history as the collapse of any remaining Western claims to moral authority. There is no recovering from that.

@Androsexypnos @RnaudBertrand bro, just stop responding. you're embarrassing yourself. Literally digging your own grave in here 🤡

You can’t treat them as one entity. Way too many differences. And you think these nations have the economies to absorb the ever-increasing exports needed from the declining populations? It doesn’t matter what the absolute number is if China, Japan and SK “age out”. They’re also much more dependent on trade outside of their own region than other nations, so they can’t even be self sufficient as modern nations. Energy imports alone make these nations fragile.

This is quite consequential. China, Japan, South Korea and the countries of ASEAN just issued a joint statement (asean.org/joint-statemen…) in which they take a unified stance against "escalating trade protectionism", a clear reference to Trump's tariffs. They write that their common "policy priority" is "to reinforce long-term resilience" of the region, which given the policies they detail clearly means building financial and trade infrastructure that aims at reducing their exposure to the US. The statement outlines a comprehensive strategy to strengthen trade between the signatories, enhance local currency bond markets and reduce dependence on Western financial institutions (via, for instance, the expansion of the Chiang Mai Initiative Multilateralisation, CMIM). Particularly notable is their explicit support for the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) - the world's largest trade agreement that includes all the signatories but not the US. All in all, Trump is achieving the unthinkable: bringing East and Southeast Asia together in an economic bloc that seeks to derisk itself from America.

@CuePowerBlog So chinese people can't be proud to be chinese? got it.

Never seen British (or Belgian or Australian) player to wave a national flag after winning in snooker. I don't like it one bit. But it just shows what the Chinese are thinking: it's their sport now. 🫩 #HaloWorldChampionship

@KungFuSV @notXiangyu bro this is the biggest tinfoil cope take i've ever seen🤡

@notXiangyu ROFLMAO! 🤡🤡🤡 You’re merely perpetrating that huge lie and propaganda by PRC against the TRUE reason behind those recalls - to destroy your UFWD’s anti-freedom and anti-democracy pro-CCP agents that are masquerading as KMT legislators! 🙄

The DPP claims to uphold democracy, yet it's pushing to recall all 52 KMT legislators while smearing their supporters as CPC stooges. Recalls are meant for individuals who breach public trust, not for overturning election results you don't like. The DPP is therefore undemocratic.

@haugejostein Cuz as an American, born and raised here in the USA, most Americans are actually so sheltered and know very little about the outside world 😂

In light of my recent piece on embracing China's rise, accusations that I am paid by the Chinese government have started rolling in. This is obviously ludicrous, but proves something important: if you don't support Western economic dominance, you hold a fringe opinion. This is honestly bizarre. Why do we hold up the West as a beacon of light and China as a veil of gloom, especially when comparing their recent track records on issues related to poverty reduction and the green transition? We need to shift the narrative.
