we need legislation banning games >100GB

[xenasaur]

OPTIMIZE YOUR SHIT BETTER THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR A 150GB GAME!!!

[xenasaur]

upon reviewing the notes I'm changing my position. games must be <50GB. no more mandatory 8k uncompressed textures!!! I don't believe in 8k I think it's fake

[xenasaur]

to be clear games really ought to be around 20 gigs or less. but I think in the spirit of generosity and mercy we won't criminally prosecute the developers until the file sizes breaks 50

Helldivers 2 heard you and went from 156 to 23

[xenasaur]

wait is that real

just looked it up. holy fuck. they did it by de-duplicating assets. I'm just. my jaw is on the floor. supposedly duplicating assets helps load times on HDDs but. holy fuck at what cost

[somespicycheese]

it's worse than that: The Helldivers devs were told that duplicating assets would help HDD load times, but then they actually tested it and it had basically zero effect on load times!

So they had more than sextupled the size of their game by following industry standard practice that actually did basically nothing!

been playing a video game with my housemates lately and the other night I was trying to persuade my boyfriend in law to join me in hunting for the current boss in an underwater temple map and I truly got like. possessed. started out going "come on brother... it's all fine in the brine... we're all set in the wet..." and ended up saying shit like "nobody's frantic in the Atlantic... it's always mail call at the whale fall..." truly incomprehensible

not my tweet but I thought it would be a good psa for artists here too

[ayy-junipei]

Oh this is a common scam I find at work. Any file that:

isn't jpg, jpeg, pdf, or png

Is a file extension you don't recognise (this one is a visual basic file, used for scripting, but others like exe or bat are used)

has a very low or unexpected file size (this one's is less than 1KB, or 0.001MB, a good reference should be at least 500KB)

Is likely a scam. Stay safe kids.

THIS IS NOT THE END OF STOPKILLINGGAMES

THERE'S A WAY TO BYPASS THE COMMISSION AND PEOPLE ARE ALREADY WORKING ON IT

[roguesynapses]

Tldw; there is majority support in the European Parliament for a bill that would cover most of SKG's issues, and if passed this would bypass the decision of the Commission. There are also ongoing lawsuits in France and other places that would likely lead to some legislation. There is also a bill being worked on in California that wouldn't stop current games from being killed, but would stop future games from being killed

sherpas used to be treated like expedition partners that knew the land better than you because they were raised on it and now they’re treated like they are lowly disposable service workers setting up heated tents or spas for wealthy hikers who have no business on the mountain like they are collecting your nasty trash off one of the holiest and most sacred mountains in the world like do y’all understand that we see sagarmatha or mount everest as a living deity on earth while the rest of the world sees her as a conquest?

[probuccalfat]

locals of nepal hold the belief that your karma is the strongest as you reach the peak of sagarmatha and the mountain gives to you the spiritual energy you carry within yourself—benevolent or malevolent. you violate the spiritual sanctity of the mountain with your trash and your hubris. you disrupt the spirits that have long dwelled there. if you must summit sagarmatha, it isn’t and shouldn’t ever be from a place of bragging rights or bucket list goals but as a spiritual journey to connect with the spirit of nature at its most powerful.

Turns out if you put too much pain ointment on yourself you can in fact experience the joy of tingly skin and nausea for free!

[silurisanguine]

Finally enjoyed drawing after a long ass time and I'm starting to suspect that maybe I'm just sick as fuck of drawing humans all the time?? It'd be so fucking funny if it turns out that's the only issue I have, I'm not even kidding.

[karnivil]

I haven't drawn personal art in maybe years but tonight I was suddenly possessed with the need to draw something anthro.

It didn't start out well but I really wanted to draw a Leonid. I used to draw a lot of em when I was younger.

But the improvement I could see with each drawing, the feeling of studying something, practicing: it felt so good. I've been depressed about not having the motivation to draw for myself for so long, but tonight I have a little Leonid scribe. And later I will draw a Leonid bard :D hopefully I'll finish it lol.

But for now

Hello little fur friend

I love you :D

>> mage design comm request form here! <<

that time of the year again! now that i'm living alone and dealing with a lot more expenses, comms have become even more important for me while i look for more stable work. if you've ever seen one of my designs and thought "hey, i'd also like a cool wizard!" now's your chance! all the relevant info is in the forms, but to summarize:

use em for anything except ai, blockchain or crypto-related projects.

I work best when given lots of room for personal interpretation, but feel free to indicate in the form if you want any specific design elements or aesthetics incorporated into the design.

no dnd player character requests. sorry! i think you're better off working with a different kind of artist for something very specific and personal like that.

paypal only, upfront.

submitting a form doesn't guarantee a slot.

dm me for any additional questions you might have!

>> mage design comm request form here! <<

ALTERNATIVELY: if you like my funny wizards and would like to support me in other ways, consider throwing a dollar in my general direction!

[itsmissing]

opening up some slots for the next batch as i finish out this current one!

[kibumkim]

If this is real they need to do it again
