30 year old cinematographer, scientist, insomniac and hacker. Wannabe designer and musician. This blog will consist mostly of random sutff I find on my dash, but seldom you'll get some insights into my art, my programming and my very own life.

Well, let's kick this off by posting this wallpaper I made as part of a study on geometry nodes (trying to get back on my Blender bs here).

Tbh I'm not 100% happy with the colors, but I told myself I'm just gonna leave things be and just put them out there.

The shapes themselves are made entirely out of math (geo nodes) and lit by a rotated HDRI, it was post-processed in Blender (twice, once after render, another with a noise thing I made), and then the colors were adjusted in Darktable.

Here's the node setup for the shape, if you're interested, it's super basic, I'm just trying to learn this new (old) thing.

I'll edit this post with a link to the full 4K resolution thing whenever I figure out where to host it.

Alright, see you all around.

1) As a former sailor here’s my hot take on the stuck boat in the Suez. I’m actually in admiration of the skill of whoever did this. They managed a crash in one of the busiest water ways and all they damaged was a wall. No lives lost. No other boat involved, no damaged cargo. A+ 

2) Lemme tell you about pilots. Pilots are tug boats or crew who lead you through challenging passages. Usually harbours or narrow water ways. The Suez requires you to hand over control of your boat to a government endorsed pilot crew. Some pilots are great. Suez Pilots are not 

3) they don’t protecc. They don’t atacc. Mainly they sleep and snacc. Yep. The Suez takes roughly 13 hours for a big ship to navigate. I have yet to hear of a diligent Seuz pilot who actually stayed at the helm even half that time. And pilots are not free. We pay extra for them 

a small private boat pays $500-1000 US. The #EVERGIVEN this would be over $10,000 US for the pilot crew alone on top of the $100,000 to use the canal. And the pilot crew are mandatory. Considering how much shipping goes through the suez, how are their bad pilots still not known? 

So #EVERGIVEN got stuck in a sand storm with 40kt gusts&no visiblity. This is totally enough to blow them off course&disorient them, they’d be working off radar and sonar. Factor in possible confusion of who was responsible for driving, the pilot of the officer of the watch?

The #EVERGIVEN officer’s concerns went like this -my crew -my ship -other ships -my cargo definitely not holding up global shipping traffic. And probably not that wall they hit with the part of the hill that’s reinforced. The fact that they ran aground without damaging cargo?

A+ #EVERGIVEN Officer & #Evergreen crew. I am truly amazed at your soft landing. I’m sorry no one is talking about the low quality Suez pilot crew who was supposed to be driving (I’m sorry to the good Suez pilots, I know you’re out there somewhere not napping & working hard)

Considering 10% of the world’s shipping traffic goes through the Suez, the fact that government endorsed mandatory suez pilots are negligent& harsss female crew in one of the world’s busiest canals should be known outside the boating world. Good luck #EVERGIVEN, you can do it!

oh, i have to tell you guys about Owha because i love her so much

Owha is a leopard seal that has been visiting New Zealand waters since roughly 2012 and is now pretty much a permanent resident who just cruises between different harbours and bays

Owha is short for her Māori name “He owha nā ōku tūpuna” which translates to mean “treasured gift from our ancestors”

she’s a bit of a local celebrity - leopard seal sightings are reported to a team of marine biologists in NZ, and they give us all the good Owha updates about where she is and what she’s doing + photos people have taken (she’s identifiable by two scars on her flank)

she’s also been a source of quite a bit of drama too - she’s very friendly and inquisitive and playful. she’s unfortunately deflated a few inflatable boats in the harbour as well as occasionally pulled pieces off of boats. as a result, the boaties have demanded she be sedated and returned to antarctica

late last year/early this year, someone shot owha in the face, which was extremely upsetting to say the least. what I am glad to report though is that she’s made a full recovery and is still doing her thing!

Owha continues to be an New Zealand icon who is surprisingly pleasant to the locals she encounters, and overall is living her best life

LITERALLY some of you don’t fucking know what “disposable income is” like i cannot stress ENOUGH that someone who was able to get animal crossing on day 1 of launch or a ps5 preorder that is still only working minimum wage job and/or cannot pay their rent on a monthly basis is NOT your enemy bruv they are NOT “the rich” like PLEASE cement that in your head.

had to share @rykhafirehand ’s tags:

thank you for boiling off capitalist propaganda to get down to the essence of economics

[roach-works]

i’d like to add: you are SUPPOSED TO HAVE DISPOSABLE INCOME.

you are supposed to have enough money for toys and games and vacations. that is what the citizens of a normal and healthy society should be buying without stressing out about if they’re gonna be able to afford to live the next day. you’re not just supposed to have ‘a little bit’ or ‘if you save up’ or ‘sometimes you can treat yourself’, you are supposed to have disposable income, and plenty of it.

a few weeks ago i was playing smash ultimate and my brother was like “you play with final smash on?” and i was like, yeah, my dude, i play the ridiculous cartoon character fighting game where byleth and captain olimar can brawl to the death in green hill zone and funnily enough i dont turn off the magic floating ball that lets them do the biggest silly bullshit. im playing this game in the kitchen

[dajo42]

“you play with ITEMS???” like YES its literally the silliest game possible by design, if i wasnt supposed to play as isabelle and spend the entire time assembling a giant gun to blast bowser off the side of palutena’s temple it wouldn’t be a fucking option

[reginaldqueribundus]

why would you buy a game where you can make Donkey Kong beat Solid Snake to death with a flower on the back of a giant turtle and then…not do that
