Decided to get into a video game for the first time in 15 years. Chose Baldur’s Gate 3 (cuz D&D). I’m in WAY over my head. Tell my family I loved them ☠️

Hey all 👋 Does anyone have any experience with Loom alternatives? I need to do a screen walk through and have a file that I can easily edit and self host.

Just learnt that purple is NOT a real color - and I'm not ready to handle it at this point in time. Also... I have been in design and art since the mid 90s - how the hell have I not heard this until now?!?!?! www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQt5...

Lately I’ve been reading The Music of the Primes by @marcusdusautoy.bsky.social — one of my favourite authors. He has an incredible gift for making vast, abstract ideas feel accessible.
