Throatussy edition.
/med/ + friends
I was just about to bake one with pic-related kek
Throatussy mentioned
is it healthy?
Marvellous edition
Today at the job the two back end engineers asigned to what I'm working on are out so I'm a bit stuck without nothing to do because I need them to keep moving.
There was ample time for someone else to bake.
I even had to wait 300 s before baking.
Also I hate texture baking I hate texture baking I hate texture baking.
Just play some vydia
It's probably what I'm going to do.
And also some blender if I feel inspired ig.
I worked on something but now that I modelled it and created the material I have to do texture baking and I dread it.
I would also need to add some extra detail by texture painting because there's something I that can't be done with materials and that requires fine motor skills I don't have.
Last night's dream: I entered an antique shop and I was browsing around, and at one point I met a French girl in there - who later turned out to be the cashier/co-owner or something like that - and I tried to speak French to her but we later switched to Maltese because my French sucks. I kept browsing and came across this little statuette of what seemed to be a cute puppy-like creature. It had a note beneath it that showed the statuette's name, "Dagan *puppy/dog/something-similar-which-I-forgot*". The note also said that given the thing was pre-owned, it had some discolouration underneath the creature's neck. I started playing with it - scratching underneath the neck and it started to respond. The thing was really cute and it was trying to grab my finger with its mouth. Of course, the mouth was like you'd expect it to be on a toy or a statue. I was a bit weirded out by it but at the same time I wanted it and it only costed 50 cents. I finally decided to buy it and went to show it to the girl who was now at the cash register and show her the statuette reacting to the rubs and she confirmed that it likes it when you do that to it. Anyway, I went to pay and she refused the money given it was only 50 cents and I got it for free.
You know, I'd be rather annoyed right now if I was the originator of that Ghibli style thing.
I don't even know what texture baking and painting means
So essentially there are a series of algorithms that can be used and combined to replicate the look of materials.
For example, if you want to create a rock, you would use a noise algorithm, noise algorithms create non-repeating, random looking patterns, and then you use those patterns to add variation to the surface of the rock, creating crevices, variation to the color of the rock and variation to the smoothness of the rock.
Then once this is created, you save the values generated by these algorithms in textures, textures are images that save information used to create computer generated graphics, this process is called texture baking.
Then you can edit those images so you can add some detail you can't add with algorithms, for example in my case I want to paint symbols in the texture, this is called texture painting.
Once the textures are created, then rendering graphics in real time is much easier, because instead of having to use some algorithms to color the meshes, they values are saved and they can just be read and asigned.
I don't think I drank too much yesterday but it fucked me up bad enough to have some weird sleep paralysis.
I dreamt some guy with glowing eyes was at the foot of my bed but he disappeared when I opened my eyes.
He is
I see, it seems quite complex
Kino dream, feels like the start of a wholesome adventure.
I wanted to bake but it seems I cannot even post from my phone. I had a fascist scum edition in mind.
I only had one class and the professor told us we could leave as soon as we were done reading our exercise, I was the second one to read so I'm home already.
Have you asked out that girl from uni yet?
I don't blame him.
I'm pretty sure that French girl sold me a demon lol.
Haven't seen her yet. There's a very slight chance I'll see her on Monday, if not then I'll have to wait until Thursday or Friday next week, that's if she decides to go to class at all.
Gave me*, because I kept my 50 (or even less, now that I think about it) cents.
I see. You could just ask her if she wants to get a coffee. That's a pretty low stress way to get to know someone better.
Do you have her number, why don't you text her to ask if she wants to do stuff on the weekend
That seems like a good idea now that the weather's a bit fairer.
I do, from the class whatsapp chat, but it feels a bit desperate since she has not given me her number helself. Does this make sense to younger people? Maybe they don't mind, but I'd find it a bit creepy.
¡Hola! [her name], hope you're doing well! I got your number from the class group chat. Hope that's okay. I was wondering if you'd like to grab a coffee this weekend?
good morning
καλημέρα
some guy with glowing
turk anon
u hate me >:(
I still haven't worked out if she has a bf or not and I'd rather ask her out in person, verba volant scripta manent.
kek, just having a laugh kiddo
I even said good morning
Agreed, always ask in person so that she'll be forced to give a clear answer (as clear as women can physically be of course)
By the way, remember this meme?
If she's interested in you, she'll see your text message as taking the initiative (which is something women find attractive in men)
But, if she's not interested in you, she'll find it creepy KEK.
Yes, I was also kidding, that's why I wrote it weird :P
Don't listen to them, they are so pushy.
You are supposed to stare silently and wait for her to approach you.

In-person makes sense
Once on the internet I saw someone comment on that comic, and they said it was an incel comic, because it falsely supports an incel theory that women respond differently to men depending on their attractiveness
Why they thought this was only an incel theory, I don't know.
Today I kept staring at women who I caught looking at me. It's fun, they keep their eyes on me until we go separate ways.
I've had the opposite happen to me too, you never know with women.
Me on the bottom left pretty much.
I already do this and I'd say it's worked better for me, it spares me time and hurting.
There sholdn't be anything to be ashamed of in asking someone out, but I'd rather have plausible deniability.
women respond differently to men depending on their attractiveness
That is true and that is NOT a bad thing. Everyone does that lol.
U be overthinking this WAY too much my dude
I don't think a girl would respond well to that. Have to do it in person first.
No, I'm not. It's happened before. Yes, some women think that I should be ashamed of thinking I had a chance at taking them for a date because of my attractiveness.
Had it been the other way I would've politely said no and forget about it, not spread it around and make fun of that person with some friends.
If she was a total stranger, the sudden text would have been weird. They saw each other and talked in real life before.
The way the question is asked, whether in person or with a text, doesn't change her level of attraction to him.
If she wants to have coffee with him (which is something super simple and can be done even in a non-flirty way) she will regardless of how he asks the question.
Do you think she'll say "Just because you asked me with a text, I'll say no. You should have tied a letter to a fucking pigeon and sent it to my window"
In fact, asking in person, especially after overanalyzing every possible way to phrase it might make it feel even more awkward.
I see
I think doing it in person makes sense, it shows you have the courage to actually ask her face-to-face
If she says no then fine, but you should feel better for having at least asked
If she says no then you shouldn't feel ashamed. You should feel proud that you asked her in a respectful way.
Exactly. I don't know why that person thought it was just an incel theory.
"People remain unconvinced by the government’s plan to offer €25,000 to those willing to give up their driving licence, unless significant improvements are made to Malta’s public transport system."
It is an interesting paradox, because there is not much a bus can do if it is stuck in never-ending traffic, which is of course caused by private cars. Having less cars on our roads would automatically make the service better. Now, of course, we all know what the main issue is here but that of course would not be addressed. The suspension would last for 5 years.

Daily reminder that Malta has Turkish buses
Overpopulation worsened by the state's policies to base the economy on foreign sla- I mean workers. It has affected traffic, energy generation, health services, waste, etc. etc. etc.
I didn't know that Otokar was Turkish. I like that this bus is 666 and it takes you to the capital via the public general hospital.
I almost became one of those foreign sla- workers.
That doesn't mean I gave up though >:)
hi med, ill be going out tonight yay
BUS 666 should be an album name kek
Istanbul also has Otokar buses, and some Mercedes ones
Crazy how even Tel Aviv has Otokar ones, but if anyone asks, we stopped the trade with Israel shhh
Awesome
Oto-Kar
No. We are not full. We are overspilling.
BUS 666 should be an album name kek
Or a band name.
but if anyone asks, we stopped the trade with Israel shhh
I wouldn't be surprised if we were still selling passports to Russians.

holy fuark didnt expect an Invizimals video on my recomended
