Ig I need a place

[naive elm]

yeah idk then

[steady apex]

I think you can do is check your studio rendering settings

[tawny flare]

guh

bwaaah core effects

[naive elm]

im dying

[naive elm]

dying again

setting the atmosphere's parent programmatically doesn't update it, but doing it via drag n drop does?

i actually need help this is an issue that ive had for a while

it really breaks immersion too

[pliant knot]

Whoa well done the effects

put an image on the screen when someone enters the water?

[naive elm]

that... doesn't fix lighting

[kindred kettle]

the world if glass didn't make water disappear

[naive elm]

[hoary orchid]

i need advice, i don't know what to do anymore

my works in a really bad place

and i have no idea how to improve it

as i've been stuck for nearly 3 years

[neon obsidian]

although counter intuitive, try challenge yourself

think of models that you think normally you avoid due to its complexity or stuff and see if u can try to make it

try making models not related to sci fi too, could be faunas (plants), manmade objects, natural geology

try to slowly expand your pallet yknow?

or see methods online that improves your current builds (like a new edit feature you never realize, modifers, anythin really)

[hoary orchid]

alright, thank you

[neon obsidian]

yw, always feel free to let me or others know your progress :)

[naive elm]

OKAY

so i had tunnelvision and overlooked a thing i removed

i saw this

and this,

so i deleted that whole block

but then i realised inWater is changed down below

so this might be the fix

because it only broke when i redid the player state system

[gilded cedar]

are you sure theres nothing colliding with the spawn (assuming ur using spawnlocations)

[naive elm]

nope

no matter how much empty space it has it will spawn the character at the highest point

FOG IS FIXED :D

[naive elm]

i think that is-

fuck i forgor about flashlights

after flashlights the rework will be finished

[tawdry fox]

NPS v0.21 Update addition:
Hydraulic Control Rod Drive System

lmk if yall have suggestions for this

[civic charm]

Do you know if spawn locations use moveTo() or pivotTo()?

Or an entire different system

Because if they use moveTo() then any obstruction near the spawn will teleport your character to the highest point without obstructions available

[civic charm]

What is the spawn location?

The white part under the floor?

[signal palm]

its also fat

make the 15th gen thonkpad driven by the intel core i16 24900kxfs

[tawny flare]

zipbag

[naive elm]

-# using MoveTo() in 2025 is crazy
no, they don't, but:

• we use a custom camera
• characters do not autoload

[naive elm]

yes

[civic charm]

I dont use it 😭 I was just wondering

And wdym with "characters do not autoload"?

They're custom spawns or actual SpawnLocations?

[naive elm]

https://create.roblox.com/docs/reference/engine/classes/Players#CharacterAutoLoads

[tawdry fox]

working on a new primer system

old ones for comparison

[hushed shell]

how do I make it so that only the outer parts are selected?

[burnt cairn]

Alpha is indeed real

[naive elm]

alpha? what's that?

[burnt cairn]

wau screech noises

[civic torrent]

What do you mean outer parts?

Like the edges?

[naive elm]

idk if you figured it out, but if you hit 2, you can select edges

1 for vertices, and 3 for faces

[hushed shell]

I ended up doing it manually

But thanks anyways

Now for some reason Boolean makes the entire structure disappear

[naive elm]

try swapping between fast and exact

[hushed shell]

I did that and it didn't work

I need help with building something

I need to learn how to make a wedge peice that curves

[slender torrent]

funny joke cuz people keep comparing my game to qserf

also recreation of portal 2 ui because im unoriginal

[civic charm]

Blender

Create a wedge, subdivide it in lenght and make it follow a curve with the curveConstraint I believe

Idk I forgor the name

But thats how I'd do it

[naive elm]

you appear to be doing it in the most efficient way

OH WAIT

okay yeah if you want to avoid ✨ union hell ✨ you'll need to use blender

i can make it for you if you want

[carmine bronze]

Use the geom tools plugins, resize realign and some others can do this, or use blender for a better shape

Personally I hate moving around in blender so I would just do it with resize align

I should mention that it wont be smooth lol without blender

[sharp apex]

Archimedes works

idk what resizealign would do in this situation

[sterile rivet]

Makes sure that their lengths fit

[tawny flare]

the

[ashen star]

Thank everyone for giving me tips on the wedge turn peice!! :3

[ashen star]

Yeah that would be nice 😭

I need to learn how to use blender

Ive been meaning to learn for months

[naive elm]

i am in shambles

[hoary orchid]

how many tris is this?

[tawny flare]

zir its highpoly...

i didnt count

[tawny flare]

yeah i had stats on but like i didnt even bother looking at it

[naive elm]

😭

[tawny flare]

and im away fron my workstation sooo

heehaw

[hoary orchid]

is that even roblox usable

[tawny flare]

i mean

ill make a highpoly

[hoary orchid]

oh you're baking

[tawny flare]

then make a lowpoly from 16

yeah of course i am baking

if i import that into roblox my house will turn into a crater

[tawny flare]

barely know how to

id appreciate it if someone has like a tutorial for full bake and subsurf modelling along with retopo

[kindred kettle]

basically

it's hopeless

[tawny flare]

its over

[neon obsidian]

there is hope

let me relay you a vid i just send from my fourm

[tawny flare]

bless you xero

would this be considered a good bake

[neon obsidian]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3lwBDtC0ic

very quick tutorial but if you are familiar with blender, should be easy to get on

[kindred kettle]

it's certainly a bake

Real or bake... Call it..

[tawny flare]

yum

[kindred kettle]

bolts probably too much but it is good

[tawny flare]

needs more depth.....

[kindred kettle]

the that will have the bake is too much I think

why so high poly sire...

[tawny flare]

i liek indents zir

how can one not like 2 million indents zir

[kindred kettle]

no like

the one on the left

[tawny flare]

did you lose the one i gave you or something

[brazen crag]

no

i still have it

but i wanted to practice and make one myself

[sterile rivet]

Ooh that's a good idea

Apart from some gripes I have with it
It looks good 👍

[brazen crag]

i have made other computers

too

[brazen crag]

ty :3

[sterile rivet]

I know

i'm watching you.

[brazen crag]

can you tell me what else can i improve

[sterile rivet]

the screen is a bit too curved

[brazen crag]

the tube?

[sterile rivet]

anything that isn't like a 50s tv set shouldn't be too curved

[sterile rivet]

yeah the visible part of the tube

[brazen crag]

i see

thanks

also i need sugesstions on which pc to do next

[sterile rivet]

Go make a compaq plus portable

ctrl L iirc?

im unsure

[naive elm]

this is correct

@kindred kettle scream if you love elevation knob

[hoary orchid]

most high poly knob

how many tris is that lmao

[tawny flare]

TWO MILLION!!

55k

LOL!!

[sharp apex]

holy fuck

[kindred kettle]

I agree

I don't high poly model though 💔

[tawny flare]

yeah i made the mistake of using 32 vert cylinders for bool

[gritty terrace]

i would sell my soul to be able to model on blender

[tight smelt]

erm hello, in terms of development i was wondering if i could compose a song for the game? (any other musicians here too??)

[coral hull]

are you asking too produce for a project in here or qserf?

[tight smelt]

ah QSERF

SNL if you guys allow me

[tight smelt]

but i wanted to do QSERF

[coral hull]

sst handpicks contributors, and sadly they do already have a producer

also for future reference, this channel is more for community creations and less qserf

[tight smelt]

ah okay

thank u

[sterile rivet]

Oh don't worry that's an entry requirement

[pearl matrix]

Does anyone know what causes parts to randomly change in less than 0.1 degrees?

I.e. this, sometimes it randomly happens without any reason and it fucks up with build quality

[surreal vine]

i genuinely believe its a bug

[pliant knot]

Got this stuff for the position of my parts, now when I try to make them connected perfectly, I start having sizes of like 2.0431

[gritty terrace]

why are roblox cylinders and sphere not perfectly cylindrical/spherical

cuz its pising eme fdejaSAJBAWDFJBK DWBJADWBJ

[pliant knot]

solution: make a mesh

ALthough it's more work

Funny hoz this is easy yet I can't manage to do it on blender

blender is my only fear

[sharp apex]

do you use unions

https://devforum.roblox.com/t/next-gen-explorer-has-officially-rolled-out/3774759

[pliant knot]

let's see what disgusting abomination roblox did to our explorer

[sharp apex]

made it better

lol

[naive elm]

generally happens to me if I'm dragging parts onto some funky stuff, ESPECIALLY meshes (and unions) because their collisions are optimised

holding alt will fix that issue specifically, with the downside of having to manually rotate your thing

[kindred kettle]

I love this image

[pastel ember]

happens when im making fire trucks, it always comes off by like 0.5

and then i gotta zero it all over again

Yes ALL of them

[orchid topaz]

How do you get your blender to do that material thing

[stoic tapir]

honestly

not that bad

I find some things usefull

only nitpick I really have is the boxes that pop up when you hover over the top controls

I like that you can make custom tabs at the top

[naive elm]

mine is how shitty the folding is

I like to maximise my viewport space so I tend to have it collapsed

Ugh.

[lusty walrus]

Windows clear type shat itself on my pc

Because of my monitor

So I'm set

[pliant knot]

the worst update was when they changed the whole ui recently

While changing the ui

they changed positions

how some stuff works

the lock feature is also bad

because you have to have the part selected to unlock

but if it's locked HOW DO YOU SELECT IT IF YOU HAVE THOUSAND PARTS IN THE EXPLORER

[covert stag]

You search it up

The lock feature has always been like that

[kindred kettle]

ohhh

mfw,.. 15435654 objects named Part

[civic charm]

This is the reason I give a name to everything

[naive elm]

I usually don't use locked, I use StudioSelectable instead

which is useful cause you can just disable or enable that and keep it applied

yeah, it's suspicious that it's outdated

totally

[civic charm]

Any tips?

[prime flame]

pretty sure at most you can mash a shit ton of planes together

[civic charm]

elaborate for my tiny brain pls :)

[prime flame]

let me show you

@civic charm here
gave it my "best" shot (i'm too sleepy for blender right now sorry if it sucks 😭 )

[civic charm]

its ok

[prime flame]

however i'm pretty sure @waxen vapor MIGHT know how, considering those type of vents are used in SNL afaik

[civic charm]

[waxen vapor]

they are

in some places

[prime flame]

thought so lol

seen them in so many sneak peeks before

[waxen vapor]

theres a couple ways of doing them

[civic charm]

all ears

[waxen vapor]

in fact can you hop in vc its probably easier to explain it and actually show it

its alright if not

[civic charm]

gimme a sec

[stoic tapir]

beat me to it lol

by a lot-

[waxen vapor]

lol

you can share your method too

its probably different to mine

[stoic tapir]

to get this rough shape:
1: take a plane, rotate it upright
2: pull the bottom forward a few incriments
3: extrude the sides back till the back bottom verts line up with the top
4: merge the top verticies

[shy mortar]

Then i Assume you bevel the edges from there?

[stoic tapir]

pull the bottom back verts out a few then bevel

[shy mortar]

@civic charm Here is my attempt at it

[waxen vapor]

this is actually probably better than my way lol

[shy mortar]

Now i am curious what you way is?

[waxen vapor]

I use booleans a lot in blender

[stoic tapir]

what you could do as well is bevel the outside rim to the door, thatll be quite a few more tris though

[stoic tapir]

[waxen vapor]

So my way is kind of how you'd do it in roblox with unions

[shy mortar]

I mean they are better then unions optimization wise.

[stoic tapir]

[waxen vapor]

But obviously more optimised smh

[shy mortar]

But I find Unions easier to use the Booleans.

[stoic tapir]

this

is

12

[civic charm]

forbidden word, almost as bad as j*b

[stoic tapir]

TRIS

and Im probabbly like one of the most optimization crazy people on the team

when it comes to modelmaking atleast

[civic charm]

peak

And after all that

looking at the DMR gets me on 50 fps

🥲

[shy mortar]

Optimization is my weak spot...

[stoic tapir]

we do our best with optimization, as well as roblox releasing occlusion culling

[shy mortar]

Occlusion culling is just

[stoic tapir]

means we can add even more higher detailed stuff

[civic charm]

roblox proceeds to make occlusion culling somehow laggier cuz yes

my pc becomes a helicopter

[shy mortar]

Do you guys think this cargo door looks better with or without the dashed lines on the door?

[civic charm]

Try putting the lines only on the bottom part

[shy mortar]

What do you mean by only in the bottom part?

[civic charm]

you put the decal on all 3 parts of the door

try only the bottom

[shy mortar]

Ok i get it.

@civic charm What about now?

[civic charm]

look good to me

[neon obsidian]

im also kinda optimizaton addict with my models

if i feel like its possible, i will try to make a 2d plane mesh with pbr to do the heavy lifting LOL

eg: the 5.25" floppy models i made for a friend here (i forgot to showcase it here)

[hoary orchid]

wait these are just

planes

[neon obsidian]

which is just, a near flat cube (originally with planes but for some reason the lighting was odd on one side

which ticked me enough to just went with some depth on the plane 😭

[hoary orchid]

oh yeah i see the opacity artifacts 😭

i hate how roblox handles transparancy mode

[neon obsidian]

i kinda think its decent, just weird if you leave the transparency at 0 since it doesnt do it well (if thats how i word it)

[hoary orchid]

it fucks up like this

[neon obsidian]

oh thats

normal lol

[hoary orchid]

oh that's intended

[neon obsidian]

or rather me being lazy to

do the uv unwrap on the thin ass side to negate that

again i originally made this as a 2d plane

[stoic tapir]

it technically would make sense to have them there as it would be a hazard but you wouldn't reach that anyway

[hoary orchid]

how did you make the shape iteslf, the bevel seems clean across the whole thing

[neon obsidian]

before i decided to extrude it because the one sided lighting on the mesh bothered me enough to do so

[neon obsidian]

this was done with substance painter with some masking and beveling
and then i cut away the areas i needed for transparency in paint.net

[hoary orchid]

yeah that's what i meant

[neon obsidian]

and fixx any bleeding pixels (the actual black outline you sometime see in transparent textures for some reason)

with a webtool

[stoic tapir]

Those are just planes with textures?

[neon obsidian]

originally yeah, but i went and extrude the plane because one side of the plane was like, darker than the other LOL

[hoary orchid]

did you just make the things that should be removed black and then you deleted them?

[hoary orchid]

wait what tool

[neon obsidian]

yeah, to make it easier

[neon obsidian]

chipng :)

[stoic tapir]

Nice, looks great

[neon obsidian]

is it okay if i link it?

and ty

[shy mortar]

Yeah i ended up removing it.

[hoary orchid]

found it

[neon obsidian]

i believe it was linked here before but it is very good to fix any bleeding pixels

ahh alr

the bleeding pixels in question is the annoying black outline you see in some transparency assets

[hoary orchid]

xaxa saves lives

3d text, brushtool, and this

[civic charm]

can you send me the blender file?

im having a skill issue trying to remake that

🥲

[stoic tapir]

Gimme a minute and ill explain it better with diagrams

[copper marsh]

jesus I have that size of floppy in real life and they look just like it, and that's some great optimization work
regarding that thing ghastly pointed out, if you're using Substance Painter there's an option to export with infinite dilation, if you don't have it enabled I very much recommend you do as it usually fixes uv island edge artifacts

[neon obsidian]

true,,

and ty!! i actually wanted to get 5.25" floppies for myself (even if i dont have means of using it, unless i want to be extra motivated for it)

i did actually got myself 3.5" ones tho :))

[hoary orchid]

wait that fixes it thank god

[copper marsh]

if you want truly masochistic levels of optimization for that kind of geometry specifically, make two subdivided planes facing opposite ways, connect them, and slightly lift the center vertex of each

[neon obsidian]

ooo

[copper marsh]

then do cleanup to remove the coplanar vertex

[hoary orchid]

beyond insanity

[copper marsh]

it'll halve the tris of a cube and technically be more accurate to real life ones as they're very thin

it can also make unwrapping really, really easy if you don't need PBR or complex textures, I used it for the letter meshes in QSERF

[stoic tapir]

@civic charm go to chat station alpha

[teal loom]

substance painter

do it w normals

saves times and tris

And no, the reactor will not experience meltdowns since in the case of fusion reactors the reaction would just stop and/or the system would automatically shut down the reactor.

venice interface ui

[naive elm]

today we will break roblox's 3d size limits

[tawny flare]

whar..

[tawny flare]

did you texture in blender

[mellow jungle]

substance painter for the camera, but the ui was made in roblox

[tawny flare]

i see

[tawny flare]

how did you make the triangle vents and lines on the lense

lense tube i thibk

[mellow jungle]

for the vents I created a custom alpha in a different software, which I then used to apply a texture over stacked UVs. every other vent has the same texture but flipped vertically

[tawny flare]

and details like, straight dots on the dials too

[mellow jungle]

for the stripes, I used a brick generator in substance painter to create an alpha of lines, which I then masked to the faces around the edges. The alpha was used to create a height map, which I then converted to a normal map

[mellow jungle]

the dots are warp projected using an alpha, although you can and I used to do it by just painting it on. Warp projections, however, make it easier to apply and change later on. Don't project on the shape directly, instead project on as a mask so that you can more easily control the color, roughness, etc. of markings

[tawny flare]

oh my god i have so much more to learn 😭

i can barely understand you but thank you for explaining

[mellow jungle]

np, lmk if you need any more info or a more in depth explanation

[tawny flare]

can you explain it indepth in dms for me?

[mellow jungle]

sure

[cursive mulch]

We do a bit of tinkering every now and again

[hoary orchid]

give me dev it was stolen from me

i need to keep neco

it's mine fo steal

[cursive mulch]

LMAO

[shy mortar]

Would the "Now Entering Text" be disabled in combat teams, cause I can see it becoming anoying after some time.

But it would be a very cool effect, specially for new players!

[cursive mulch]

wdym combat teams

this is not qs related btw*

[shy mortar]

Oh ok!

What would it be for then?

[cursive mulch]

for a personal project that my girlfriend and I are working on together

I was just showcasing some of the cool functionality, the ui. The screenshake, placement system etc

[shy mortar]

Damn your lucky to have a dev partner

[shy mortar]

Yeah thats very intresting

[cursive mulch]

She is the dream 💜 @solar cloak isn't that right honey

[shy mortar]

Did you find out about her through dev pages, or did you guys just meet and you happend to be devs?

[cursive mulch]

although making something similar for qserf and snl isn't out of the question

[cursive mulch]

I actually met her through speedy funnily enough

Now she moved in with me from the UK to Canada

[shy mortar]

And you happend to live near eachother?

[cursive mulch]

well. We moved in together

[shy mortar]

Yeah

now for theming

added url data support

it's a jwt so it's exposed to the client but ill be able to know if the value was tampered with

this eliminates the need to keep data on the server

that way ill be able to use serverless functions (which are much cheaper)

this game has a mysterious tunnel in the back of the facility that leads to a blocked off door. what should i put behind the door
-# this game is supposed to be the eastern seaboard communications diode referenced in qserf but its basically a bunker because why not

(it can be literally anything because its blocked off by a blast door only openable from inside so you need commands)

[flat totem]

anyone got any good fonts for going on pavement?
literally everything on the creator store is too smooth

[naive elm]

for like the old 'concrete texture?

[flat totem]

literally anything that looks like the paint is chipping off or worn or smth

like you'd see on an actual road

[naive elm]

best results would be to use a font you like and apply a mask in a software like photoshop or photopea

that or just use an eroded font locally and export it as an image

[flat totem]

I don't have photoshop

I could

try and look for something

[prime flame]

what about boston traffic + editing on photoshop

[naive elm]

photopea is free

[naive elm]

sure whatever works

well atleast their walkman ui is cool

[brazen crag]

the ipod if it was japanese

[brazen crag]

so cool wtf

[tawny flare]

it has the cool conveyor belt thing

[mellow jungle]

true it's just that their camera ui is kind of infamous for being counterintuitive

[mellow jungle]

thanks

[tawny flare]

its that bad? what

[mellow jungle]

I mean yeah, there's a lot of arbitrary settings placements and odd word choices that might be mistranslations

not to mention a lot of times changing one setting changes another, and sony tends to make it difficult to fight the right combination of compatible settings for things like recording format and outputs

[brazen crag]

fucking peak

[naive elm]

gotta love how @ts directives work in js for whatever reason

[tawny flare]

yeah it took me quite awhile finding the AVLS setting for my walkman

[hoary nacelle]

So back in New Year eve's of 2023, I was a little bit drunk and thus ive made the (terrible) decision to create QSML3: Saturday Night Live. (And fun fact: I've made that game while I was in QSP. 😭)
Two years and One soberTrinity later, I've decided to seriously focus on this game and to make it as a fan game for QS, but instead of being like it used to be back in the day (aka bad), this game will be based on the old roblox vibe (2009-2015)

There is still a lot of work to do, but so far i am really proud on how it goes 🎉

[prime flame]

retro slop.

/jk

only thing I would do is chill a bit with the studs on some parts

and try to keep stuff sized to the roblox grid

so the studs don't look weird or misplaced

[hoary nacelle]

This is what im mostly trying to do right now

[hoary nacelle]

Most of the studs are locked at ~0.05 studs or at 0.1 studs

On the first pic, most of the things you see might be redone anyways since it's too modern

Although I might do it at the end as I want to at least get the small map done (which should include a topside and a security HQ, i hope)

Im trying adding metal edge wear in substance for the first time but some edges it just says no or adds too much

Anyone able to help me with baking the normals?

(Metal Edge wear done by white mask and generator)

[stoic tapir]

that seems to be a UV map Issue

[civic torrent]

i just use smart uv project, so i'm not sure what the issue could be

I even went and marked the edge seams

[neon obsidian]

when i try to make edgewear more pronounced, i usually modify the bake mesh settings a bit

on curvature maps, i think i increase smthing along the lines of "rays" (i forgot the full name of them 😓

to like probs over 100 or something and rebake the mesh to get me the edgewear i needed

[tawdry fox]

here gang take this elevator im working on for magnox

[civic torrent]

I don't think that worked, i have 0 clue about baking but if i had to guess the black lines are where the edge is defined.

[upbeat palm]

what are your opinions on this

[hoary orchid]

you need to pack the uvs with that if you don't want problems

go to the uv tab, select the uvs on the left with control a

press uv than pack and set margin to 0.001

i hate roblox sm

@cursive mulch i know you've dealt with this a lot, any i dea what's triggering it

[cursive mulch]

if i had to guesss

anything thats too small

will prob get flagged

[hoary orchid]

nevermind

[hoary orchid]

yeah, probably thought it was a barcode

roblox is so serious with those

like who's scanning a fucking barcode on a roblox game texture 😭

[spark obsidian]

i last got banned cuz a button texture got flagged as terrorism

like wtf

[hoary orchid]

somehow they're always on point with their appeals in my case

but it's still annoying

[spark obsidian]

the moderation ai is so shit

[hoary orchid]

final product, probably one of the best meshes i've ever made

[spark obsidian]

single mesh?

[hoary orchid]

well each part is seperate

each different server type

type a consists of a single mesh

type b consists of a holder and drive slots, which these go in

[spark obsidian]

im too lazy to texture for hours straight

[hoary orchid]

yeah i spent a good while on this

[civic torrent]

That done did it

What does packing the UVs do however

It just seems like it makes sure it takes up the whole normal

[hoary orchid]

yeah

it does that

the margin decides how seperate they are

and that stops overlap

[civic torrent]

I didn't see any overlap when I did smart UV project

Substance painter is just confusing for me

it's like the controls of a concorde when you first do it

[hoary orchid]

it also eliminates bordering

it tends to bleed when the borders are right next to each other

[hoary orchid]

yeah it was confusing at first

[civic torrent]

So with this do I need to do smart UV project still or can I just do Pack Islands

[hoary orchid]

you should do uv and pack islands helps fix up

just set margin to 0.001 every time

and make sure you apply scale before

[neon obsidian]

huh, i see
im unsure how to word it, ill probsblt make a quick model when i have time to see as i used smart uv before and still achieve decent edgewears

atm not in pc though

[civic torrent]

i mean tbf it didnt work quite well on the mainbody for the model and is still the same however it did fix the bottom

i will simply adjust the frame texturing as i can do without

and silly me thought 400 is already a big number

[dusty vault]

i'm not even a modeler, i barely use blender, i don't know how my playtime is that high

i've made one singular model for qserf and it was more of a cleanup job, which is the clothing stands

[tawny flare]

im gonna die

how

😭

[dusty vault]

oh right i've also extensively cleaned up the qserf jetpack model

[hoary nacelle]

Don't you mostly do it for uhhhh

and custom images

[dusty vault]

recently i only really use it for rendering ya

Yeah ive also been using that

it's actually pretty neat

[dusty vault]

my playtime also isn't being counted anymore since i don't wanna use the intel-only builds they have on steam

[hoary nacelle]

I don't use blender on steam

[dusty vault]

much slower than native apple silicon builds

[hoary nacelle]

😔

[tawny flare]

i dont think im cooking.... 💀

but i hear they're dropping support for intel macs so i might be able to switch back at some point

Since people tend to call me like that, well I had that idea to name a chips brand... Frenchy!!

[dusty vault]

so the 3rd last week i had 2 hours in blender

4th last week i had 11 minutes

it seems the data does not go any further back 😭
