Almost finished BG3 (at almost 100 hours on this playthrough), then planning to start Starfield!

Thank you!

Keep practicing, I’m still pretty new and learning myself, but setting aside a bit of time for it a few times a week has helped me improve really quickly.

Thanks!

Thank you!

Thanks!

Thanks!

Most of the post processing was photoshop. The only elements “added” in PS were the water dripping off of the ship (thought about doing this with a particle system but for a still image that seemed like way too much effort), and then I put a little smoke and fog above the ground to give it some depth. Some basic contrast and colour-adjustments aside everything else was blender. I’ve tried doing more of the post processing with the compositor before but honestly I think photoshop yields a better result faster.

Good luck, you got this!

Been another week of pointless stressful bullshit at work for me, which eats into my real life outside of work more than I’d like. That being said, making some progress on finding a therapist (a surprisingly difficult process it seems) and also a driving instructor – almost made it to 30 without learning to drive, but the time is now!

Also starting the process of ditching music streaming in favour of Bandcamp, which has been fun. Been feeling some real nostalgia for the old days of buying tracks off iTunes!

Loved the first article, as a relatively recently out bi man, it’s always nice when I read something else that makes me feel seen, y’know?

I’m only relatively recently out, and still feeling out what label works best for me, but I like bi, it feels right. And it’s the nicest flag so 🤷‍♂️

I absolutely relate to this - I worry my stopping to let people pass so I don’t have to walk on grates makes me look totally unhinged

I do this and I don’t even have a reason like you do.

I think it’s just become so ingrained in me now that it’s not even a conscious choice 😅

Apollo all the way, sad to see it go

That’s fantastic

Thank you!

Mostly from YouTube and doing lots of experimenting on my own, I particularly like Max Hay’s stuff on YouTube, he’s recently released a paid-for course which I’ve done about half of and can say that it’s also very good so far. Normally I just try and get a good picture of what I want the outcome to be in my head, block it out in Blender with cubes etc, and then start googling for specific techniques to make things look the way I want.

Thanks so much!

Thank you!

Love that expansion for all the lore, some cool weapon/character mods to pick up too if you poke around for long enough.

Brilliant! Hope you enjoy

An absolute masterpiece I also went into it mostly blind on my first play through and it was a great time. Planning to play through again soon and pick all the most out-there dialogue options I can.
