A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

See how many tickets you have to open at precisely the same time to make the server grind to a halt. Given how long it takes to load even one, my bet's on about 10 before other users start seeing issues.

In my experience it's more like a to do list on paper with 10 things you want to open a ticket for that will grind the server to a halt, as soon as you bring it near your computer....

Lemmy is just a simulation video game about trolling online.

Iโ€™ve been leaning blender casually for the last 3 years and itโ€™s definitely gotten to that point. Maybe itโ€™s the inherent feeling of making something in 3d but it feels a lot like mastering video game controls.

I should finally get into that. I keep putting it off for silly reasons that will never be addressed by putting it off. Can't get better at making models if I never make any, much less texturing a model if I never texture anything.

Also one of my favorite finds in a related area were voxel editors. Highly encourage anyone into voxel art from games like VoxeLibre or Minecraft to look into them. All the fun of building with blocks with a lot more flexibility.

Got for it! It looks a bit overwhelming at first with all the different things you have to learn but once you get through the basics it starts to get really fun.

Been wanting to look at some voxel editors. Any you can recommend?

That was the case for me when I was learning different design pieces of software. I might have gotten too settled now and kinda miss that feeling.
