the horse fan drama on jorvik has got to be insane. imagine if the most annoying of horsegirls had like, an entire origin of life legend and mythology and culture to back them up. if i wasnt into horses and lived on jorvik i wouldve started killing indiscriminately tbh

those days i’ve been trying to paint differently

[blog-of-gourd]

here are my biggest gaming hot takes:

- no game actually needs to run faster than 30 FPS

- no texture needs to be bigger than 2k, and most don’t need to be bigger than 1k (save for megatextures). A good chunk should actually be smaller than 1k

- lower poly counts > high poly counts

Once you pass a certain threshold, it doesn’t even affect the style of the game that much, and you’re just using exponentially more power to get exponentially smaller results

Like, for example, the original Skyrim was 4 GB. The remaster is 22 GB. That’s five-and-a-half times more space for the exact same content! The graphical improvements are honestly negligible, especially when you consider the massive leap in storage and RAM used.

These sorts of things just hit diminishing returns so quickly— My eyes can’t tell the difference between 1k and 4k textures.

We have so many fun ways to get the maximum mileage out of every pixel and every polygon. It’s sad to see those techniques slowly trickle away from big-budget games!

Even as storage space becomes less and less of a concern, there’s something satisfying about keeping everything as small and tidy as possible

Bizarre footage has emerged of a horse on the loose at a Sydney train station, alarming passengers and at one point chasing a commuter down the platform at a canter.

because i love horses i am basically mentally broken. i don’t know if i’ve ever loved a person as much as a random horse i pet over a fence on the side of the road. every day i don’t get to see a horse is gut wrenching. laugh out loud. sometimes i see a horse and i get literal chest pain.

Shout out to all the Black ppl that can no longer participate directly in the fandom they love because of the stresses of racism 👍🏾 you contain multitudes of value and I'm sorry that the color of your skin and the power of your voice makes people not want to acknowledge that.
