one of the "quirks" your werewolves can get in the new Sims 4 pack is that they can turn into anti-capitalists

just found this blog that's entirely about dragons in video games

I have a mystery package on the way from the US

A shipping label was created on the 14th of April
It arrived at the first facility on the 9th of May
It then bounced around facilities in the US until the 22nd of May
It left the US at the 31st of May
It arrived in Sweden on the 11th of June

I can't see that I've bought anything around the 14th of April, so I have no idea what it is

this post brought to you by seeing yet another mod for Sims that's perfect except for the fact that the animations are stilted and odd

since I'm on my bullshit:

If you want a hot tip for how to instantly improve any animation you make - open the spline editor and give your key frames some smooth transitions instead of linear ones

shit has mass and can't turn on a dime, and that's most likely what makes your animation look odd

for a bonus, make sure nothing is symmetric - twist a foot a few degrees, make it contact a frame later, slightly tweak the splines, etc.

Also, when I doubt, consult reference footage, animation has a ton of details you just miss out on if you do it from memory

camera placement and optic effects (depth of field, realistic bloom and flaring) ground computer animation so much, and it's so often ignored

something I've noticed when playing MGS5 is that every single cutscene has a tracked virtual camera, as in they've had the cutscene animated, and then motion tracked a camera someone is carrying - it means you get dynamic camera poses, the slight shake from a handheld camera, etc

It's one of those things that elevate them above cutscenes in other games, and even some animated movies

VMware sucks

minio breaks the moment I want to post something here for the first time in weeks, go figure

before my mom got a tattoo of me and my sister's names on her arm, she asked me privately if I planned on changing my name

I should just set up a Raspberry Pi to print a few lines of color once a month and keep scrap paper in it instead
