Hi everyone! I'm sbird, and I like taking pictures of all sorts of things, whether it's nature, street, or animals. I shoot with the Sony ZV-E10 with the Sigma 18-50mm f2.8.

I am interested in #Physics and have a hobby of #programming and #gamedev

I’ve added death messages and expanded the part on Eurus, the east wind who brings the winds of storm!

Five blue rectangles representing CollisionShape2Ds can be seen. White particle effects emanate from the left of all these blue rectangles. There is a brown tileset being used with green grass on the edgesSpooky anemoi says in dialogue box: “It is funny to me. Haha! See, I’m laughing! Hahaha!”

Lots of rain and wind particles can be seen as well as spikes on the wallsPixel art duck with red tie says in dialogue box: “I’ve died so many times already, it’s not even funny anymore!”

I have made some levels relating to each of the four winds, or the "anemoi"!

Boreas, the north wind, bringing cold winter air. Zephyrus, the west wind, is associated with springtime and flowers. Notus is the south wind, bringing hot summer air. Eurus is the wind of storm and, according to Wikipedia, "the saviour of Sparta".

Two wine geysers can be seen in front of the pixel art duck with a red tie. The floor is covered with grass, vines, and glowing red wine glasses. There is a stone totem to the duck's left. Duck says in dialogue box: "Woah, that's a lot of wine. How am I meant to get across?"Spooky embodiment of wind says in dialogue box: "Who dares come near my presence?"Another red barrier is in front of the pixel art duck. In the dialogue box reads: "Okay, how many of these are there?"A large plant obstructs the path forward for the pixel art duck. The duck is interacting with a stone totem to its right. Tan embodiment of wind says in a dialogue box: "A civil dispute, that's all! We're not little kids! We're the embodiments of the winds! We are much more mature than that."

I've (finally) made my own player sprite for my game on the 12 Olympian gods! I spent a lot of time trying to get the animations to look half-decent, esp. the spindly little legs. The jump animation needs a bit of work, but other than that, I think it looks very cool!

Some more progress on my game about the 12 Greek Olympian gods! The Dionysus level looks really good, esp. with lighting!

You can use the power of the anemoi, the four winds, to break obstacles in front of you. Helios allows you to see things most mortals cannot. And Achelous allows you to raise freshwater from the ground to the surface.

Not pictured in the screenshots is a cool parallax background, which is a silhouette of trees and vines

The player is surrounded by vines, grasses, and wine glasses that emanate a red light. Traffic cones are to the left of the player. A dialogue box reads, “This is the realm of Dionysus, the god of wine and ecstasy. In some legends, he is linked to the underworld.”Player stands before a stone totem emanating a white light. Facing the player is a red steel barrier. Vines and wine glasses surround the player.The player faces a red steel barrier, a interact key indicator “F” appears to the right. Vines and wine glasses surround the player. The barrier glows redThe player is surrounded by vines and grasses, and a large wine glass emanates red light. Signs point to the right and downwards.

The idea is that the player can use the abilities/powers of some of the greek nature deities by interacting with totems, where:

orange = Helios, the all-seeing sun god (ability to see hidden areas)

green = Gaia, ancient mother of all life (healing)

blue = Achelous, the river god of the largest river in Athens (controlling water columns?)

white = Boreas, Zephyrus, Notus, and Eurus, the winds (freezing/chilling, moving plants gently, storms and destroying crops, and capsizing ships?)

some more work on my game about the 12 olympian gods! Now I have added water columns and interactable stone totems for each of your nature deity powers. Specifically for the Dionysus level, there will be seas/rivers/waterfalls of wine that you shouldn't go in, else you drown.

Water columns can be seen behind the player. Grasses, vines, and small wine glasses can also be seen on the floor

Three different photos, all taken at the same place. Lighting can really give you a different mood.

If you want and to combine, then you'll love photographer Bastiaan Ekeler and the work he put in to a vintage Game Boy camera with a custom printed adapter.

He printed an adapter to let him use Canon EF-Mount DSLR lenses and the results are incredible. I suspect he loves with most photos being on that subject.

Is it making me want a Game Boy camera? Yes. Yes it is.

Fireworks show in Disneyland ✨

There were so many people, insane to think that they all have their own lives, experiences, and struggles, but our fates aligned as we watched this amazing event! It was like an ocean of monkeys… #disneyland #fireworks #oceanofmonkeys

@McPoops Mojeek uses its own search index, so give that a try. I personally use a hosted SearXNG instance (you can choose which search engines to include and exclude!) so you might want to try that too.
