Hellooooo

[redundantz]

Take me back to the early 2000’s where video games were colourful beach adventures~

The more I study design, the more I realize I will be able to perform a very evil and vile plan, so devious I should definitely be locked up by now... I will bring FRUTIGER AERO BACK!!!! I WILL BRING BACK THE PROMISED FUTURE THE CORPORATIONS NEVER GAVE US! I WILL SNEAK IN DESIGNS WITH COLORFUL TRANSLUCENT ELEMENTS AND FUTURISTIC DETAILS THAT CREATE PEACEFUL AND FRESH SURROUNDINGS FOR EVERYONE!!! REJECT SQUARE AND COLORLESS MODERNITY, EMBRACE CURVY AND COLORFUL FUTURISM!!!!!!!

Aaaaanyways that's just a random comment I wanted to let out. Hi people who see this message, I am currently goin thru the last weeks of the semester, so I'll be able to post again very soon! I really wanted to try and post more but weekly art project assignments weren't letting me focus on almost anything. Expect new art from my ihnmaims au (no, the brainrot hasn't died yet and I doubt it will), new papercraft models (like V1 *cough) and possibly new art projects!!

i think the reason i love silent protags a lot because the limitation of this staple necessitates indirect storytelling. yes it's primarily a device to allow player inserts and roleplaying, but a character's inability to state or directly show how they feel forces one to analyze much more.

when speech is filtered out, you need to reverse engineer what they could've said by how other characters reacted. Multiple choice dialogue options become concurrent thoughts in the character's mind, different facets leading to indecision, with the player only truly deciding which thought comes to the forefront.

definition comes through body language, idle animations, emotive portraits and noises of exertion. if a choice is railroaded, was the protagonist forced into it, or did they decide without player input? what do the available gameplay styles say about the character you've created? what does it mean to accept every single sidequest?

like, well and truly, making a nothing character is impossible, even in video games, because saying "yes" when asked to save the world, that's already a decision, isn't it? there is already an implication, a shadow of belief and value, in the act of playing.

Was playing with that one filter on ibis and made a guy. You guys can look at him but please don't hurt him

does anyone know what kind of design this is called?? the soft bubbly colorful but not too shiny skeuomorphs found in winxp and 3d jumpstart games. its probably in other places too but this is where i see it most. ik a lot of people love very shiny skeuomorphs and aero and thats why those tend to be more popular but i really wish i had a word to look for design like This bc it scratches my brain so good

how many threads are you using on the cmyk test print? i started it yesterday w/ 2threads on 14count aida & noticed your pic looks much fuller (i am intending to continue as-is and not undo everything but was curious regardless)

I also used two threads! I have noticed my designs tend to come out a little more filled in than the work of others, and I'm not really sure what part of my process to attribute that to 🤔 I do tend to stitch a bit loose, and sometimes I'll go back and sort of "smooth out" the top cross of a stitch in order to make it fill the space better. It's sort of a neurotic approach but it has the end result I want lmao

I've been thinking about how everything is so sterile and boring now? I remember when everything looked interesting and cool! devices were weird and angular. they looked like sci-fi devices! the menus had funky music. the website you went on to buy it had a unique vibe to it. the logo of the company you bought it for was cool and unique to it and not just Text With A Basic Logo.

A lot of my nostalgia for the past, I think, comes from the fact that most of my life everything has been getting slowly and slowly more boring, lifeless and personality-less. that's the appeal of frutiger aero I think. as much as the aesthetic is genuinely great and warm and nice, it's also a reminder that we were promised a future that was not only good but fucking interesting instead of boring and uninteresting and fucking worse.

yall weren't kidding european chocolate really is better

[lcpmon]

why did i ever try run aerospray for funsies the jr is so much better in every conceivable way

[n-anon]

Been playing VRchat recently on PC, kind of just vibing in private cozy spaces.

[holymaccaronii]

I think I got frutiger aero fever or something. I realized that it makes me really really happy because it combines machines with ocean stuff and those r my two favorite things ever. I'm currently decorating my bag for industrial design school n I'm gonna cover it with sou much stickers aaaaa I'm excited.

A thing that I like about my school is that people are more open with the things they like in public, and I might do so as well ^u^. I'd like to buy some merch of my favorite characters soon too

[hollysoda]

I think frutiger aero might be my favourite aesthetic of all time. I always loved the era where technology felt that way (even if I was a kid during it) and I never thought in the year 2024 people would bring it back. Anyways so whenever I get my own place I’m making my bathroom look like it came straight out of the 2000’s, fish toilet seat and all

[cyberspacebear]

sometimes it hurts so bad knowing the internet will never be young again

that it will never feel new and bright and technological again

[perenlop]

ugh i knew i was right to be worried about V :/
