#gamedev tip: Whenever you are wondering if your LODs are too aggressive, consider that the visitors in Episode One's pod race were colored Q-Tips. And for basically every object, there's a distance at which it can be replaced with a colored Q-Tip.

#3089 - Modern

The image is a comic strip with a horizontal timeline ranging from 1850 to 2000. Various historical periods are labeled above the timeline with braces indicating the span of each period:

- From around 1850 to the late 19th century: “Early modern”
- From the late 19th century to the mid-20th century: “Modernist”
- Around the middle of the 20th century: “Mid-century modern”
- Just after mid-century to the late 20th century: “Postmodern”
- From the late 20th century onward: “Modern”

Below the timeline, a caption reads: “The use of the word ‘modern’ to refer to a bunch of specific historical periods is a fun prank by historians.”

Hidden text: "Scholars are still debating whether the current period is post-postmodern or neo-contemporary."

Hello #PortfolioDay

I'm a painter and game-developer. My dream is to make a gallery show and complete my first indie game. In the meantime, illustration is how I pay the bills.

If you want world-building illustrations or design sketches for games, tabletop RPGs, I can help bring your world to life. 🫡

Good one!

A tweet by Alex Cole (@acnewsitics
) reads, "My favorite sign." The accompanying photo shows a young person at a protest holding a sign that says, "BUT IT WAS THE GULF OF MEXICO AT BIRTH!" written in colorful markers. The sign also features a small rainbow flag. The protest appears to be outdoors on a grassy area with many people in the background holding various signs, one of which partially reads "NO MY." The crowd includes people of different ages, some wearing casual clothing and others in shorts, suggesting a warm day.

#3067 - SawStart

A person wearing a black hat is standing next to a circular saw table. The saw is labeled "SawStart." The person is pointing at the saw and telling two other people standing next to him: "When the saw detects contact with skin, an explosive charge starts the blade spinning at full speed within a few milliseconds." At the bottom, a caption reads: "SawStop’s less-popular competitor."

Hidden text: "Unfortunately, SawStart is one-use-only. Once started, the blade cannot be stopped, and must be replaced with a fresh blade while the running one is carefully disposed of."
