This is Jasper, she is our chief of security. (lemmy.world)

Jasper (so named for her jasperite like patterning, my daughter likes minerals) adopted our family as a skinny little street cat. My daughter begged us for a cat for months and she just kinda showed up which was perfect. Shes got what we think are siblings that come by but shes the runt of the litter as she has remained small...

That was how me and my friends would get around the Foolproof software on the macs in high school.

Put a bootable os 9 system folder on a zip drive, boot from it, open the Foolproof control panel in resedit, delete all the resources, reboot into regular os 9, open quake3arena, profit.

My Grandfathers pre-war Signal Electric MFG Co. Morse Key (lemmy.world)

I’ve inherited all my grandfathers radio and telegraph equipment. I have lots of memories of sitting on his lap in his radio room while he talked to people on the other side of the world before the internet was really a thing. He passed away in the mid 90’s and I think he would have loved this modern world and all its tools...

It is yeah. His other key has his call sign on it.

I meant WW2 but I see the term I was searching for was “Interwar”

Maybe its less like a number as we know it, and more like an ant poem or other mnemonic representation?

The best part was finally getting more lore on Grandpa Bob. Im so glad none of the internet theories were correct.

Ensign Sonya Gomez over here thanking the replicator

TNG “Q Who?”

SONYA: Hot chocolate, please.

LAFORGE: We don’t ordinarily say please to food dispensers around here.

SONYA: Well, since it’s listed as intelligent circuitry, why not? After all, working with so much artificial intelligence can be dehumanising, right? So why not combat that tendency with a little simple courtesy. Thank you.

GIMP is great but it definitely needs its own Blender 3.0 moment where they just completely overhaul the UI.

I’ve used it as my primary raster app so I’m way used to it now, but I totally understand the people who just never even bother to learn it because they are so turned off by the absolutely bonkers design decisions.

If that were true Steve Jobs would still be alive I guess?

Incredible detailing. So atmospheric!

We had a black cat once that jumped in a preheating oven when a back was turned and we didn’t see her. We heard her crying before she got hurt but it haunts me what could have happened.

Old Macs and Trek, two of my favourite things.

Here is Denise Okuda in front of her Quadra 700. She used it to make all the wonderful LCARS and other alien UI panels on DS9. This was her taking a break while working on the DS9 pilot in 1993.

Connections, the Day The Universe Changed, The Secret Life of Machines, and Beakmans World. TLC before it sucked was awesome.

I wish Eric had given us pebble v2 instead of beeper, honestly.

Agreed. I also see them all over youtube videos and stuff and I just can’t keep reading/watching. Its not like an ideological thing, i don’t hate generated art. I just find it so distracting.

Thank you! Yeah its been fun, some of the most fun has been collecting reference.

Look at this neat model I found. I think it was used for production? I can’t be sure but its awesome.

I feel like such a fake fan. This is obviously one of his most personal and sincere artistic offerings as a film maker… but I was just bored the entire way through. It was beautiful and whimsical, but the story left me so cold and unsatisfied. Nothing resolved, nothing really mattered, nothing felt like subtext. And I know I’m wrong, it MUST be something I missed.

I guess I’m just basic, but hit me with that Porco Rosso or Wind Rises or Laputa vibes. But thats art, there’s no accounting for taste. I’m going to watch Heron again and see if it takes a second viewing for it to hit home.

Regardless how I feel about it, I was so happy to finally catch a Miyazaki film in theatres with my kids. That was great.

Just finished rewatching season 4 of Babylon 5. Definitely seems relevant in this age.

Starting to get the hang of exterior renderings (lemmy.world)

Got this design and was asked to produce an outdoor riverside rendering. Im not fully happy with it yet but I’m liking how its going. It needs more refinement and stochasm to help drive the realism, but for my first real blender archviz attempt with all assets and shaders my work I’m pretty happy with it so far.
