Today's Easter and I like to post bunnies around this time. These innocent little bunnies get stolen a lot, so I made sure this is the original artist. Giving creators credit is the most important rule in Floating Is Fun.

I found another 3D model remake of a 2D art. Wow, people get really good at this!

Really? I haven't posted any Yukihiro Nakamura since moving to the Fediverse? I used to post him all the time! It's time to get this anti-gravity train rolling again.

I know, I haven't posted any 2D art in a week. I like to change it up, you know? If I could find water this clear, I'd swim in it all the time, and maybe try to build stuff at the bottom. I still need to solve that drowning problem, though.

I'll tell you, gathering information on this was tough! I think what I'm writing here is the first English language information about this TV special that aired on March 23, 2007. Boy band Arashi made six of these specials where they conduct wild experiments suggested by their panel of 11 college professors. All of them agreed this balloon would fly, but Arashi took the opportunity to select Sho Sakurai, who is afraid of heights, as their test passenger. This special also has some experiments aboard a Zero-G parabolic flight.

Losing interest? How about some shorter games that are super high quality all the way through?

So, what kinds of games do you normally play? We can help you more if we know where you're coming from.

True, it's not that easy to find the good ones. Try browsing around RetroAchievement's hubs, click a category you're interested in, and then sort by "most players". The popular games there might surprise you.

This material looks like it's as light as smoke, but it's crazier than that. These carbon nanotubes are so thin and so strong that their tendency to straighten out is just enough to hold up its own weight. I kind of want one of these in my house, but we don't know the consequences of breathing in microscopic particles of this stuff. Safety first!

On this day 25 years ago, Bertrand Piccard and Brian Jones became the first to fly non-stop around the world in a balloon. They suffered multiple mechanical failures through their flight, resulting in a icy cold trip that was definitely not fun but historic for nonetheless.

By the way, how do you like my new two-column layout? Since we're very visual-focused, it makes sense to present Fedia's thumbnails at their full 380x380 size. I still need to make it look better on small displays like phones, and I'm thinking I'll allow more columns on wider displays. It's too bad my CSS doesn't federate to any other instances and isn't used when browsing by tag.

@e@kbin.run Oh wow, thank you! I didn't realize I had an Mbin developer in the crowd here. I come from Old Reddit where CSS is all we had to work with. People pull off some sorcery with CSS, such as /r/GlobalOffensive's and /r/LeaguePBE's sidebar craziness and /r/AdamNeely's transparent background. It's a shame my CSS doesn't federate to other instances, so it's only possible to see it on my own instance.

A few things would help, though:

  • Add magazine panel options to display thumbnails at their full size, which on Fedia is 380x380, togglable for the main page and for all article pages
  • Make article pages download the attached image automatically and replace the thumbnail with the full image when loaded
  • Fix formatting of the magazine description so the line breaks federate to other instances
  • Get article badges working like Reddit post flairs
  • Add a magazine panel option to allow multiple columns and specify the maximum columns allowed
  • Throw an appropriate error message if an image I'm uploading is too large, which on Fedia is 6,000,000 bytes
  • Add a CSS variable for if we're currently in a dark mode
  • Write theme colors in RGBA instead of Hex so CSS writers can do math with those colors
  • Add a user option to restrict text string searches and tag searches to one magazine or all federated magazines

...That ended up being more than a few ideas. I should quit being lazy and make GitHub issues for some of these.

This group is Qu4rtz from Love Live! Nijigasaki High School Idol Club, an ongoing spin-off of a dead mobile game. I'm not even going to pretend to understand how this scene happened. Maybe it's some sort of astral projection ritual, I don't know.

I've been slacking again. I didn't even post Hatsune Miku on 3/9, but that was because I was posting a Mario character on Mar10 Day instead. This version of Miku apparently rules the galaxy with her music. The artist said that, so it's canon.

I would have posted this yesterday, but it was such a nice day outside and I was spending my birthday out of town. When OGQ took over Grafolio, they broke all my old Grafolio links and I had to find this again. Aeppol's forest girl really gets around as we've seen before and we'll see again for sure.

Tekken? Nah. It's a four button game, and you only need to map the shoulder buttons if your character has a good move with a weird button combination like Square+Circle. Street Fighter Alpha 3 really needs all 6 buttons, though.
