Started designing some characters for a computer game this week, also designing some props and environments. It's a smallish indie game, but it'll be cool to see the 2d things I'm drawing become living characters in a 3d world.
Never thought I'd do that sort of stuff again.- niiiiceprophetone
- Sweet!YakuZoku
- Awesome stuff. Finally finished Scavenger Reign. Some of the characters in that were amazing. Truly mesmerising.Ianbolton

I sent an invoice off this morning for recent work... on of the line items was supposed to be 'consultation'... instead I typed 'consolation'.
I've received a few emails from the 'team' all being smartasses... one of them even called me 'Kevi-poo' and demanded a hug when we finally meet in person.

where are drgs, Bennn and Scarabin?
- Bennn is actively with us.
pali tells me drgs is living his best life.
Sarabin, no idea. I expect he's lurking anyway.Continuity - woman hitting Bennn is hiding behind a pseudonym, but if you can read, you'll develop a strong idea of who it is based on the way ol' heavy hands types.imbecile
- also is where is Geroges? you think he still pokes his head in once in a while?_niko
- Georges has been silent for a long time. Last I checked his site was still up, but he has left us. It's a shame, he was both talented and a contrarian..garbage
- ..but a contrarian with jokes. Not just somebody who went to racist and homophobic slurs when he was out-thought.garbage
- hiHAL9001
- @HAL9001 oh hi Bennn!Krassy

Why is linkedin so ugly?
- it's work stuff, where work people try to hook up but not at the water cooler.AQUTE
- LinkedIn is the worst.instrmntl
- I found out recently that it's not a work site anymore, apparently you can upload videos now... its a proper social media site like snapchat or youtube.cherub
- Problem is, it is butt ugly. Maybe I'll try night mode.cherub
- and it just keeps on doing it. Every redesign is shitballs ugly.milfhunter
- Because it belongs to Microsoft, and Microsoft can only do ugly clusterfucks.Continuity

- Found my last 3 roles by cold applying on LI. Best social network evernb
- It’s ugly, stupid, phony, and just awful. But so is corporate America and I don’t see that ever changing, so suck it up and get that paper or go your own way!nb
- It's not like Snapchat or YouTube, it's like Facebook. If you're in HR, you might as well be on Facebook.CyBrainX
- However ugly it may be, I've gotten all my jobs and freelance from linkedin and Glassdoor for many years.CyBrainX

On the verge of finally getting some funding for our startup! Big company here has said they are very interested to put some $$ in.
Very gratifying after so long...but also mildly terrifying having other people's money, and associated entanglements in the business!
- good luck! remember all the big guns take other peoples money to run businesses. like musks twitter take over, trump, etcephix
- Good luck!skinny_puppy

so this might be sacrilegious to ask, but what happened to design websites? like obviously there was a peak, but surely peoples appetites for this kind of content hasnt evaporated.
or is it just jaded old bastards who care about this kind of website anymore? like where do 24 year old design nerds go now?
Reddit? Discord?just feels like there was such a momentum at one point and now there is barely anything..
tried googling and most of the responses I found were from like 8 years ago asking the same thing.
I feel myself using literally the same 4-5 websites everyday, and then unable to break out of that rut.
- instagram and pintrest destroyed it all people gave up curating things it seemed like.PhanLo
- jaded old bastard here. stopped caring and just do my own thing.ephix
- yeah i do my own thing too.. but when im skiving off at work, i like to browse the garbage and instagram is a bit too obviousautoflavour

I know it's been said before, but these videos coming out of people in the street, train, cars and cafes wearing these new headsets really does make me very sad. Seeing peoples faces/eyes is such a massive phycological aspect of living in a society. It feels like a horrible progression.

my dog has such an interest, fascination obsession, hatred, disdain for skunks that I almost enjoy having to smell it for a day or two after she terrorizes another one. on the other hand, skunk shampoos do not work as advertised. #cognitive #dissonance #reduction
- Water memory.palimpsest
- Hydrogen peroxide, warm water, and a little dish soap works a treat. Use a sponge to apply. Careful around the eyes.monNom
- The oxygen in hydrogen peroxide binds to the sulfur (I think?) in the skunk spray that makes it so hard to remove. Makes it less ‘sticky’. soap does the restmonNom
- Disclaimer. I am not a vet, this is not medical advice. Use at your own risk. But it worked for a couple of dogs who really liked to get skunked, almost monthlymonNom
- this works well, an anise scent seems to neutralize it. https://www.amazon.c…imbecile
- i'd avoid hydrogen peroxide for it's ability to dissolve flesh, but i have found vinegar works for the tub cleanupimbecile

I tried potato milk alternative. It's not great. It tastes okay, slightly acidic. Potato water background taste definitely there. Might work fine on cereal or cooking. NOT for drinking.
It's awful in coffee, which seems to be its intended use. It separates, makes your coffee look like a cup of brain matter. Blech.
The verdict: stick to oat milk, the unrivaled king of dairy alternatives (so far).
- "potato milk alternative"
https://giphy.com/gi…palimpsest - I don't know what you expected from something called "potato milk" ¯\_(ツ)_/¯OBBTKN
- WELL, ACTUALLY it's called "potato drink" or "potato-based dairy alternative"
*adjusts nerd glasses*jagara - Wood based dairy alternative is comingjagara
- Of course, this might have untapped potential in some vegan food concoctions.jagara
- I'm reassured because potato milk alternative would be an alternative to potato milk. And in that world potato milk would be norm.palimpsest
- po...ta...to... milk......
.......pango - Don't throw it away.
Ferment it and make vodka.
At least then it would be good for *something*.Continuity - THE GENIUS POTATO!hans_glib
- Mix it with potato flour, shape goop into French fries, deep fry it. Voila! Reconstructed French fries.thumb_screws
- Potato water cold-soaked instant potato powder. #loopthelooppalimpsest
- Oh god no. Oat or Almond if you can't have dairy, 100%. Potato milk is fucking disgusting.garbage
- @garbage tried it, or just assuming?jagara
- Have you tried Badger Milk (tm)nb
- Go on, pali.
You know you want to.Continuity - What if you just hold a fist full of dehydrated mash potato powder in your mouth and drink this hot potato milk?
#thepangomethodContinuity - Who the fuck named this? Yeah I want to think of dirt when I drink this barely drinkable milk and alternative_niko
- Just use Coffee Mate. I can’t imagine it’s any less healthy than this concoction.monNom
- I've not had this brand, but DIY potato milk that was enough to scare me off.garbage
- Should be in the NOPE thread. Barf!sab
- call me heartless, but I'd rather puree a cow than milk a potatorzu-rzu
- Potato teats, you say?Continuity
- I hate the design more than anything. Cut off the cumshots and keep the letters clean. Potatoes don't spurt.garbage
- Almond milk is where it's at but everything, literally everything sucks in tea and coffee other than actual milk.kalkal
- I'm all for alternatives that taste the same or better, but there isn't one for milk yet.kalkal
- Been using it on cereal. In that case, it works fine. Coffee, no. Interesting to try, won't buy again.jagara
- I like how committed you are to this, jagara.palimpsest
