if you make games or art with UE5 you might be interested in my Auto Material Instance Maker, which automagically makes instanced materials for you from a pile of textures (even if some of them are normals/roughness/whatever with your own weird naming scheme) www.joewintergreen.com/auto-materia...

I once made a pizza. It had a bubble. That bubble looked like a character. So I took a photo, and photoshopped the bubble into a character. Then that character looked very familiar... so I went back to photoshop and added the the bubble to a familiar character. #pizza #characters #vader #darthvader

Giving away these On the Edge cards to raise money for @ppfa.bsky.social. The base game is by @johnnephew.bsky.social & me, with expansion sets by @robindlaws.bsky.social, John, and me. The game works great for sealed deck play and supports 1-v-1, multiplayer, and team play. Let the weird begin!

Elon Musk grew up in an apartheid country, backed a German political party that seeks to rehabilitate Hitler, was sued by the federal government for abuse against Black workers, promoted pro-Hitler tweets, and gave a Hitler salute twice in a speech. But what are his real political beliefs?
