Using the Steam Deck docked has been a dreadful experience for me. Is it just me going wrong?
  • Using the official dock? Most of my problems were solved by updating the firmware. That does NOT happen automatically via the regular Steam Decker updates btw, need to trigger it yourself.

  • Be careful or the time will be blown off your bones
  • Nice gradients. Together with the limited color palette it reminds me of illustrations from Sci-fi story prints I read as a kid.

  • Emptiness Will Eat the Witch, 2024
  • What did you use for the vertical stripes? Pixel sort? A special brush? Overlayed another image? Looks great either way!

  • Kestrel at a Berlin S-Bahn station, watching some Pigeons
  • Honestly, I much welcome kestrels as natural deterrence over those ugly anti bird landing spikes they put on many surfaces:

    Edit: internet says kestrel only occasionally hunt down pigeons, but maybe they'd still be rather elsewhere in that case.

  • Gnome 48 ist da: Erfreulich viel Neues für den Linux-Desktop
  • Bei meinen Androidgeräten ist es so, dass die Software mit der Hardware kommuniziert. Will heißen: die Software kann eine Anzeige und Einstellungen dazu haben, aber das Gerät selbst, Kabel und Ladegerät müssen entsprechende Protokolle unterstützen.

  • I released a fully open-source album of Game Boy music [link in body]
  • Always thought of the noise channel giving the Gameboy a unique character among low bit rate music. Glad to see you make use of it (I like Thunderking arena for instance).

  • Imaginery comic city, Alcohol markers
  • Charming. Feels very handcrafted due to all the unique features, asymmetry and avoidance of straight lines. Also reminds me of the backgrounds in point & click adventures like Machinarium.

  • Mixed media on photo paper
  • This one has a nice glow to it. Looks a bit as if you painted it on a semi-transparent sheet and put a backlight behind.

  • Dandelion, watercolor on paper
  • Love the strokes on the yellow flower head.

  • Latest doodle
  • Nice, has a very biological quality to it.

  • A quick Doggo Painting Study
  • You nailed the oily/glassy look on the eyes. 100% huggable.

  • Crystals in the Dark, digital

    feedback appreciated

    I tried different brushes and strokes on different crystals, ¿which ones look best you?

    GIMP 3.0 Release Planned for 2025-03-16
  • Would it theoretically be possible to replace the base image with a different one (of same dimensions)? Basically like a template file where you store a bunch of modifications, filters, etc that can be applied to any image...

    I sometimes manually clean up scanned documents and if there's many pages I would love to apply the work done on one page to subsequent ones. If it doesn't look good the try only took a couple of seconds.

  • It's the predominant direction of the wind.

  • GIMP 3.0 Release Planned for 2025-03-16
  • So if I understand non-destructive editing correctly GIMP will store a sequence of transformation instructions (basically 1 for each undo/redo operation) rather than overwriting the actual pixels each time? Ie no matter how much editing you do, the original input data is always preserved?

  • Knifehand strike
  • Knifehand, now that's a great name for the top henchman of a movie villain.

  • global watershed map
  • Wikipedia says:

    The Simpson Desert is an erg that contains the world's longest parallel sand dunes.

    parallel dunes

    I'm guessing this part of the map uses the actual surface topography, ie how precipitation would run off through the troughs of the dunes, rather than the underlying aquifer structure. Hmmm 🧐.

    It has more detailed maps for each continent too.

    Eiger Cliff Face, digital

    Trying to emulate the style of traditional landscape printing my grand parents had at their house. I guess those must have been painting with oil (I wouldn't know).

    Skull octopus thing.(septapus) base sketch before importing into Procreate.
  • Love this. Care to share the final digital image when you are done?

  • Einen Vogel Haben! Rare Ural Owl Spotted in Germany
  • My head canon is that "having a bird" being equated with being crazy comes from these old mechanical wind up clocks where a bird quite literally jumps out to announce the passing of a full hour:

    a wooden cuckoo clock

  • Owl-natomy: Eyelids
  • That lower eye lid sounds so useful for sleeping. I have trouble falling asleep in rooms that aren't perfectly dark, to the point that I cover up LEDs from electronic devices with dark tape. To be an owl!

  • The Flower Woman
  • Don't remembered the context. Stumbled on upon this picture on a blog some time ago and saved it.

  • When typing multiple logical statements on the same line (connected through ; or &&): ¿how does one bring up autocomplete suggestions for subsequent statements?

    I often write multiple statements on the same logical line. For instance short loops that converts one image format to another.

    Is there a way to bring up tab completions or history search for subsequent statements? After beginning a new command with ; && &or | I want to be able to make use of suggestions again.

    TIL of a boy in Pakistan that would stab himself with knives to entertain others. Researchers found he carried a rare gene mutation that prevents pain nerves to transmit their signals to the brain.

    Feeling no pain is actually terrible as you won't know when you hurt yourself and you don't properly learn to avoid dangerous situation. People with this mutation have to rely on others for danger assessment as for example they won't notice easily that they have open wounds or even broken bones. Tragically this boy died at the age of 13 when jumping/falling off a building; the sources differ but it's likely that he engaged in risky behavior if he couldn't feel any pain from falling.

    Edit: The original title improperly stated that the boy was from India. Corrected it to Pakistan.

    Lethal Weapon, Richard Donner (1987)

    Thought this was a nice shot (hihi, shot) near the end it symbolizes that the two men who started out as foils have become inseparable friends. Visualized in this shot as one body with 2 heads and 4 arms acting in unison.

    ¿Anyone else found it bullshit how the only thing that actually matters is whoever touches the triforce first?

    Windwaker has my favorite portrayal of Ganondorf.

    He's made out to be human, sympathetic almost. While he may be misguided in choosing his methods, his actual motivation isn't. Thru his background story we come to learn why he behaves the way he does. He's tragically misguided, not mindlessly evil.

    All the more I felt for him thusly when he gets cheated out of the fruits of his labor near the very end based on some technicality he couldn't possibly have foreseen. It's notable how only at this point, he flies into rage and draws his swords to destroy his enemies.

    DemonStar OST - Intro by Bobby Prince

    This is the remastered version. In the og game many players didn't get to hear the flute depending on the sound card they used. Imo the flute adds a lot, good to have it baked in now.
