do u have any navi thoughts from your oot replay

i've been waiting to answer this until I actually beat the game in my current playthrough because navi is another one of those characters that i think of in like a "set" with several other characters who serve relatively the same thematic purpose; in this case that purpose being the "mother" character, and i wanted to have all the characters in that set fresh in my mind. it's notable that while oot shows us very clear and consistent instances of the ways in which the adults of hyrule fail to protect their children, there ARE several adults who DO go out of their way to both oppose ganondorf and protect and nurture the children under their care. All of these characters are adult women, and all of them explicitly help the children out of some sort of parental responsibility or sense of duty towards them. in this group I include link's late mother, impa, nabooru, and navi.

all 4 mother characters, despite being adults or adult-coded, reject the inaction mentality which characterizes other adults in the game. they become either direct supports or shields to their children from the conflict the world has to offer them, and they are always explicitly punished for their interference--link's mother is killed trying to protect her son, impa's village is burned, nabooru is brainwashed. The mother's fatal flaw is that she will protect her child above all else, even in a world in which children cannot truly be protected. however, with the exception of link's mother, these characters manage to persist even in the face of her punishment, and this is where I think navi becomes the exemplary character.

Navi, after a lifetime of being link's only support system, the only adult in his life he could truly, consistently count on, receives her punishment at the hands of ganondorf--in the final battle, she is pushed out. she is unable to reach her child. she cannot protect him. However, BECAUSE link has grown up with her at his side, he is strong enough to take ganondorf down. and when ganon rises again, navi is there to support link, promising not to leave his side, and the intuitive targeting of that battle (a mechanic which navi is inherently tied to!!) makes it a cinch to win. Navi, and the other mothers we meet, are a reminder to the player that the world doesn't HAVE to be the way it is. Their persistence when punished, their insistence that their children ought to be protected, is a reminder that good adults do exist, and that good adults raise good children. link and zelda are able to win in spite of the adults who refused to help them, but also BECAUSE of the adults who DID. It's a reinforcement of the core theme of oot--that childlike idea that the world SHOULD be good and fair and if it isn't, it should be changed until it is. The mothers of oot are examples of what the world COULD be, reminders that it is possible to grow up without losing hope or growing bitter, and they are examples of the next step for the children they've raised to change the word--to continue fighting even in the face of punishment, to refuse inaction, and to foster that same hope and persistence in the generations to come.

was inspired by @funky-dealer 's little lickilicky model and was hit with the inspiration i needed to finally finish a 3D model so thank you!

I'm finally figuring out how i want to work in this program and it's incredibly exciting

Hey all! Interested in maaaaaybe selling these lil replica Pinkie Cooper heads. Would anyone be interested? Mostly making em for myself, but I am curious.

They come with eyes, front head, back head.

I’d also be happy to do trades for em, if anyone is interested.

Stl by

Currently fresh off the printer and un-sanded, back of head is still printing. Will be sanded soon.

I know everyone does odd stuff to justify large purchases, but 3D printer enthusiasts love to go about problem solving in ways that seem more difficult and less accurate than if they would just forget about using their 3D printers.

like, this person didn't need a 3D printed tool to sew straighter hems. they just needed to iron their folds first.

This is so fucking goofy to me (derogatory)

Also to be clear I'm joining Nintendo's war on piracy on the side of piracy. Btw. Hack your 3DS (do NOT update your 3DS if you haven't hacked it yet 🫡)

probably the earliest sign that i was a bit silly both gender and attraction wise was when i got really into this harvest moon game at like 10 and i really liked this one girl character but this game came out in 2011 and did not allow you to be gay so i reset a pretty decent amount of progress to make my character a guy so i could date her. and i proceeded to never really think harder about this choice for years

hello there! can i ask you what app do you use to draw and what are your favorite brushes if it’s not too much trouble? :D

i used photoshop for a long time. official CC and cracked versions but things got to pricy or kept braking so i switched to Clip Studio Paint. Its a good program all in all i like it but it takes some time getting used to everything. i have this post about what brush i like to use and how LINK but so far i couldn't manage to recreate it in CSP yet and the settings are still a bit to new to me. but i like the SOL brush so far the most. probably uhm... idk just for understanding. i use an intuous 4 tablet. its like... old but works like one the first day. so nothing fancy with a screen in it or something.

finally got around to recording and subtitling my performance at the Augmented World Expo 😤 it's 6 minutes long, but worth the watch if you wanna understand more about what I do!

this was part of a competition centered around using XR technology (virtual reality, augmented reality, spatial computing - whatever you want to call it) to fight climate change.

we were the only ones competing in the category of Replace - and I gave this performance showing how Figmin XR, a software that can create free-to-download digital objects (aka 'digital twins'), could be used to massively reduce material waste in the future.

AR glasses and haptic feedback technologies are still in their infancy, and they're not YET at the stage where they can be as ubiquitous as smartphones - but as someone lucky enough to work with them every day, let me tell you:

this stuff is powerful. being able to to see, hear, and FEEL digital objects in 3D space changes the wiring of your brain. it's truly indescribable unless you've experienced it yourself, but everything feels real, like it's there with you, especially if it's something you've brought into existence with your own two hands. I share my virtual inventory with my friends - we play with confetti together, paint together, make things together - all in-person, the entire process feeling so natural that we forget all of it is just made out of light.

this is the entirety of what Figmin's mission is about - empowering people to re-learn the joy of playing (which so many of us don't have the time or money for anymore!), while also reducing material waste in the process.

once this new form of 3D computing finally becomes accessible to the public (and it will - it's too magical to be forgotten), we could see a huge cultural shift of innovation similar to what happened with the rise of the internet and personal computers in the first place.

and, like the original PC, it's only going to get better once it does reach people. I'm not going to say that every person out there will use XR for good (we all know how corporate greed goes by now), but that doesn't mean it's inherently bad or scary.

all technology is still just a tool, and we can still use it to connect with one another, to learn, to create... and, hopefully, to change the world for the better.

Finally back in the lab and I’m so mad at myself for not getting my pipette tip organizer done already. It’s so tedious :(

I was gone for a little more than a week so there’s just piles of BOXES needing TIPS and AUTOCLAVING

[vaugarde]

ive said it a million times and i’ll say it again. pmd gti deserves a dx-style remake far more than pmd2 does

[salemruinseverything]

im gonna need whoever gets that welcome to paradise cartridge to dump the files bc im not buying it [dont own a gameboy to play it on] but i am too obsessed with nintendo AND green day to not have that in my life in some form
