Insanely sick to find hidden in the TIFF for Jumping Flash 2's cover art, a sketch depicting the intended layout

My #1 favorite feature of this theme is the ability to disable metrics, I never have to perceive a number on my posts or anyone else's ever again and it feels great.

My tied-for-first favorite feature is that I get to stick the silhouette of a cool guy above my timeline!!!
A screenshot of the Bluesky timeine using the Firmament theme for Stylus. At the very top of the feed, where the Bluesky butterfly should be, there is instead the silhouette of a fox emoji. I have drawn two arrows pointing at it and circled it several times. 🦊

Just figured it out! There must be a weird conflict somewhere in Bluesky's Dark:Dark theme. Switching to Dark:Dim fixes it!

Another day, another UI mock-up made to convey a feature that doesn't currently exist, submitted to a github in the hopes that it gets someone interested. 🙏
github.com/GetPublii/Pu...
A mock-up screenshot for Publii, a CMS with static site generation in mind. This mock-up is attempting to convey the idea of a custom entry type within Publii's editor, complete with its own entry management tab. In this case, this is an "Images" tab for a dedicated gallery page. It features a thumbnail for each image, a title, tags, alt text, a caption, and data for upload date, last modified, author, and the entry's internal ID.

Sexy Mayflash GameCube Controller Adapter
Screenshot of Amazon listing for a four-port GameCube-to-USB controller adapter. The top of the page notes that I already purchased this same adapter five years ago.

If we do keep playing, I'm tempted to start over with the GameCube version so I can benefit from the GC controller stick's orthogonal gate, but also because the PS2 version has these turnstile keys that *allegedly* exist to mask load times… which were replaced with normal loading screens on PSP & GC

Played Super Monkey Ball Adventure (PS2) for the first time last night
A screenshot from Super Monkey Ball Adventure (PlayStation 2). A monkey stands at the edge of a cliff facing the player, framed in the center of the screen, in front of an ocean vista with islands in the distance. He wears a yellow TV-like helmet, an all-red suit with a big yellow star, and matching red gloves and boots. He speaks the following dialogue: "It didn't take long for you to get into trouble, did it? Do you like to dance Aiai?"

Also found while digging through old art. Yeah you did, 2015-me. Never do that to my wrists again you little shit. 🦊💢
A crop of the roses from my 2015 "Beastman Rhythm" pic, full version below: https://lollie.me/works/20150325/ This is a work-in-progress screenshot where I've finished inking a hand-drawn bouquet of roses. Next to these roses is a doodle of my fursona with a flat expression, saying "I've made a huge mistake". I'm pretty sure I spent the same amount of time inking this one bouquet, that I had previously spent inking three whole characters before it.

Pulling another design from the Super Quarth portrait pool. Although, I've actually had this guy hanging out in my sketch folders since… 2012 lol. I just never really made anything to use him in - beyond one other finished pic from 2015.

I still have old sketches though, look at how he's grown!!
A compilation of old sketches for Skip, a wolf man. From left to right: 1. From 2012, an unfinished character ref. His hair is completely lacking, and the only thing that suggests him being a wolf is maybe his cheek tufts and tail. He's very twig-limbed, because I knew how to draw exactly one body type. At this point, he was only known as "pilot". 2. From 2017. He didn't have a name yet, but he had form now! Big wolfy ears, a thicker muzzle, and an outfit: A button-up long-sleeve, long pants with belt, and a visor cap held in his left hand. At this point in time, he was hotel security; I was repurposing him for a "rhythm / dating sim" game idea that never came to fruition. 3. From the same sketch page in 2017. He's sitting on a folding chair while removing the lid of a water bottle, viewed from behind. He wears a tank top, shorter pants, and flip flops, in an attempt at drawing some muscle definition. From 2015: a crop of a poster for "Beastman Rhythm", a rhythm / dating sim idea that I was toying with for a good few years. Full picture can be found at my site: https://lollie.me/works/20150325/ In this image, proto-Skip can be seen on the left, draping himself all over an intentionally featureless "player" character. His tail is curled upwards, and a barrage of hearts are flying off to the side. This was the first time I had ever put him in a pic, and he wouldn't show up again until 2024, as a portrait image in Super Quarth. Also visible in this image is a tiger making a big kissy face at the player, dressed in a tuxedo and grasping a bouquet of roses. His tail is playfully curled through and up between the player's legs. This was the first and only time (to date) that I have drawn a tiger. Two portraits of Skip, created for Super Quarth. The first is a small front-on illustration, created as reference art for pixel art. He has light gray fur with even lighter gray around his muzzle, neck, and eyebrows, and darker gray fur on his ears and the top of his muzzle. His eyes are an amber brown, and he wears blue coveralls (barely visible). The second portrait is a pixel-art version of the same portrait. This was the portrait that appeared briefly in the ranking screen for Super Quarth.

Portrait of Skip 🐺
Illustration of a gray wolf man, wearing blue coveralls with a black shirt underneath. He is lit primarily from the upper right side by a warm light, with cool shadows cast down towards his lower left. The background is a flat warm orange with a white vector drawing of a stylized aircraft zipping off into the distance, cutting through clouds and leaving trails behind.

Portrait of Pipp 🐭
#furryart
An illustration of a mouse guy (Pipp) with ash brown fur and a cream colored muzzle, wearing a white sleeveless turtleneck top. We view Pipp from behind, looking over his right shoulder. Pipp looks back at the viewer, flashing the "peace" gesture with his left hand. The background is a warm schoolbus-yellow with a one-color line vector impression of the sun casting a scattered reflection over an ocean, complete with stylistic lens flare.

An illustrated portrait of a deer woman with platinum blonde hair, lit as if she's had a flash camera pointed in her face, poking her tongue out at the viewer. The background is vector-line sparkles arranged in a tile pattern against a deep red fill.

What I hadn't accounted for was battle environments. They get caught by the same checks that fix texture brightness on character models and the world map. But the thing is, battle environments DO appear correct on PC. So these fixes make environments TOO bright.

(PC original, PC with my edits, PS1)
A battle environment on FF7 PC. It appears at correct brightness compared to PS1. A battle environment on FF7 PC with my shader edits. Various objects in the background are now too bright. A battle environment on the original PS1 release of FF7.

These shader edits almost worked. In fact, they DO work for the cases I was accounting for: Textures on character models with lighting, and the textures on world map environment meshes.

The lighting itself is still broken, but at least the texture brightness is comparable to how it appears on PS1.
Final Fantasy 7, a comparison of Cloud's eyes textures before and after my shader edits, and how they appear on the original PS1 release.

So now it was time to isolate meshes in the pixel shader. I needed to double the brightness of textures that use cutout alpha, but the wrinkle was that this would also catch *unlit* meshes.

My theory was: If the vertex color is white, it's *probably* unlit, and so I can ignore it.
Final Fantasy VII's pixel shader, with edits. I added a new float4 to grab the blend mode data that I was storing in the vertex shader. I added a new int called "fullbright", and a new check: if all three vertex colors are 100%, this vertex is white, and so "fullbright" is "true". Then, I needed to isolate the two different instances of "blend_mode = 4" being set in the vertex shader. One would appear here as "blend_mode.r = 1", while the other would appear as "blend_mode.r = 0.5". If either one returns true AND the vertex is NOT fullbright, then the texture color can be multiplied by 2, doubling their brightness.

If I wanted to brighten textures on models, I needed to target anything that used cutout alpha. But blend_mode is only passed to the vertex shader, and I needed it in the pixel shader. I needed some way to pass it along.

Okay, I'll just, cram everything into a new float4 and store it on the vertex.
Source for the newly edited vertex shader. I added a new float4 labelled "blend_out", and modified the vertex struct to accommodate this. Here's one of the two functions for handling vertex data. It's used for *some* models. I originally wanted to store the blend mode exactly as it came through, but this wasn't working for whatever reason... so instead, I stored each different blend mode as a separate color channel. I hate it, but it works. There is a second function for handling vertex data, which affects other meshes. I had to store the data into the same float4, but in a way that would separate them from the first function... so I stored these in the decimal place. I'm very sorry.

(Actually, it's more accurate to say that "blend_mode" is used *here* to handle common cases used throughout the game. eg: "if vertex color alpha is greater than 50%, clamp it to 50%". I cannot imagine why any game would do this, let alone Final Fantasy VII released in 2013 for PC, but it's here.)
if(color.a > 0.5) color.a = 0.5; if(blend_mode == 4) color.a = 1.0; else if(blend_mode == 3) color.a = 0.25;

My throughline was in the vertex shader. There is a single integer parameter labelled "blend_mode", which is used to determine how an element is meant to be composited in the scene. ie: completely opaque, additive, subtractive*, or cutout alpha.

(*subtractive blending is also broken on FF7 PC. oTL)
