I finally played Minecraft for the first time!! A first playthrough in this day and age is a rare experience – so I'm lucky that mine was with my lovely friends, who can turn the game into an improv show at a moment's notice.

Here's all my favorite memories, condensed into an hour – please enjoy! 💖

I played Minecraft for the FIRST TIME and it was unforgettable 💖 | Stream Highlights ~A-Side~

or worse: braindead questions (see also them asking the nyc candidates whether they'd be attending parades).

Skysometric @skysometric.co · 7h

i meant the televised ones are too restrictive – respondents get a minute or less *and* the candidates all ignore the questions anyway, like you said. it feels like exhausting and pointless political theater

Skysometric @skysometric.co · 8h

...primary debates i can see the point of, yeah. i worry the format is still too restrictive for much of anything constructive to come of it

Skysometric @skysometric.co · 9h

that's one of the few things i consistently see, yeah. and it makes debates seem more like a liability than an asset at that point

Skysometric @skysometric.co · 9h

*very* interesting example! the internet has certainly added some interesting wrinkles to a situation like that.

Skysometric @skysometric.co · 10h

okay NOW we're talking

Skysometric @skysometric.co · 10h

it would definitely make sense if this is a recent phenomenon, yeah... though i wonder just how recent it is.

Skysometric @skysometric.co · 10h

do these debates even bring new information to the table in the first place, or are we all listening to sensationalized sound bites that *desensitize* us to real sources of new information? my question is mostly about whether the debates themselves have value

Skysometric @skysometric.co · 10h

okay political question. who actually watches debates and *doesn't* already know who they're voting for? or who watches them and changes their mind?

anyone? anywhere?

here's one from the archives i don't think i've ever posted before! this is Isometry, one of many 3D pipe mazes i made in my teens – but i believe this is the first i did where the pipes are at a proper isometric angle. given its position in my notebook, this would've been from around 2013!

Photo of a hand-drawn 3D maze with blue and silver pipes drawn on square graph paper. The pipes twist around each other at impossible angles, creating an optical illusion.

The PS2 truly is the best console ever because it is constantly becoming more powerful. Each time we say something "looks like a PS2 game" we're talking about a game of a higher fidelity than the last. What the PS2 is capable of in 2025 is so far beyond what it was capable of in 2003. That's amazing

look into the LAB color space and use *that* to adjust lightness values instead of HSL. it was like unlocking a color cheat code when i found it

i'm thinking about doing some intermediate colors for blending / hue shifting shenanigans, and jade would slot nicely between emerald and ocean! the original green i used as a placeholder for a while was also more of a jade-ish green and i might revisit that

thank you!! opening the file crashed my desktop at one point~
