Oh the ping didn't come through for this posts! Love seeing the new stuff now on my desktop, great work. I'm going to implement the @3dmodeling icon immediately.
I'll repeat myself here - these renders just look so tasty and tangible. Really great job on the texture details, and I love your explanations for your design choices.
We have a new icon! Thank you for this tasty render, really nice job on the colors.
Gonna have to agree on the ortho view... It's a stylistic choice but realism matters, too.
@fearout
was replying from mobile - so I'd like to add here... Great work on the texturing! The materials really look like their real life counterparts, perhaps even a bit more edible than supposed to. Which is a good thing.
@fearout
These look great! Just the right amount of detail.
I have created @3dmodeling and @zbrush here, so if you’re interested in sharing these there too I’d personally love that!
They behaved as if discussions of other Fedivese microblogs themselves were some sort of existential threat to the Fediverse.
The web keeps evolving, and honestly in the end usability and accessibility will be key. We're waiting for a project that can lower the bar for the 'common' user who wants to click a button and yell into the void. Probably Meta's intended audience. I expect that this future project will in turn become more of a containment zone than an actual place for discussion, but hey at least the folks who want more than Twitter/Reddit 2.0 will have an entry point to the rest of the fediverse without having to deal with the semantics of it.
Incidentally, where in kbin does it show what type of service other users are using?
Ah, I meant the hostname, not the specific type/kind of instance. Still, to at least be able to differentiate on source rather than claiming everything as its own content, is something I do appreciate. It would either teach me to ignore or value certain contributions more or less, given their origins - i.e. an instance ran by propaganda machines or big business.
Glad to read I was somewhat correct in my assumption.
It's one of the main reasons I don't really watch the Dutch news broadcasts anymore, 50% of the content is American drama not relevant to me.
If I recall correctly, the name /kbin originates from linux development, where /sbin relates to essential system binaries. When developing this platform, the term /kbin came from a joke between @ernest and friends. I believe it also refers to a Karabin, a Polish rifle. Ernest is Polish.
QRD on Calckey and Misskey? I'm afraid I missed that whole conversation.
Tribalism is a big issue in the social media space, and I hoped the whole 'connected platforms' thing would kind of alleviate that. Still, everyone wants to be part of the 'winning' team, and folks are less likely to socially invest in a platform without good reason.
SPACE! 🚀
Not to forget, mentioning @fearout for his great suggestions and critical eye!
Nice one! Was this done in Aseprite?

Us vs. them is as bad as ever. Just use emoji if you want, but don’t overuse them? Live and let live I say.
This whole 'we need a name and a mascot' deal has big 'Stop trying to make Fetch happen' vibes.

I knew I made a mistake somewhere 😂 I’ll get to it - I’ve been focused on #artemisapp the past weeks, so slowly catching up on my magazines!

@spacemanspiff
Absolutely amazing, love your contribution here!
I’m in this picture and I don’t like it.

Fair points! Glad to have a choice, at least. Even though some people like to think otherwise and astroturf a lot.

Shows they're open to supporting non-standard platforms, and seeing their potential.
If you build it, they will come. I fear the same regarding corporate, but money does make the world go round. We're in the wild west!

As stated, I am glad kbin denotes instance origins. Some folks are just too set in the 'my team has to win' mindset, and will dismiss or disrupt any other information received from elsewhere.
