Yay, a Mastodon artist! We need more cool people like @thesleepypencil@mastodon.art flying high enough to show the whole world what the Fediverse can do!
Well, 95% of Mechrot’s work is NSFW. It tracks.
I thought I did a pretty great job with this GIF. 29 seconds at 12 fps at 400x225, coming within a few KB of Fedia’s 5.72MB upload limit. It’s worth the optimization if this reaches someone who needs to see it. There’s just one catch. If you look any deeper into Mechrot’s portfolio, they usually inflate…um…people. But hey, if that’s your thing, you’re welcome.
That’s goals for me. If you’re not supposed to use magic for fun, is it really magic?
hitstun@fedia.ioOPMto Floating Is Fun@fedia.io•The nightclub - Endless Space 2 by Sylvain Sarrailh1·14 天前Oh hey, it’s concept artist Tohad again. This studio has a knack for fantastic concepts that never get the follow-through they deserve. I think this nightclub ended up being flavor text for a ship you can encounter in a strategy game. That’s too bad.
Your post title needs to credit the artist makoron117. It’s rule #1 here. If PieFed lets you, please update the post, otherwise delete this post and repost. Don’t worry too much about the extra sources and alt text and stuff I do. Those aren’t required, but we really need the creator name in the post title.
Thank you for posting this. Jellyfish totally fit here for #underwater tag.
This is Joel Pett’s cartoon for the USA Today on December 13, 2009. It’s the highlight of his career, and yet still it hasn’t reached the people who need to see it most.

Interesting: so Nitter instance links are OK here. I added an xcancel link where the Xitter link used to be.

I went back and played June 24th’s puzzle.
I’m using Cromite, and I also got stuck on a static Loading screen until I allowed JavaScript JIT to run. After I turned that on, the game worked great. You might want to add an error message asking the user to enable JavaScript JIT if it’s disabled.
Also, I went back to play June 11th’s puzzle. It’s Copy Result is correct for the this puzzle, except the date listed in the Copy Result is the current puzzle’s date instead. I played this just before midnight on June 24th.

Well, that’s an interesting game. This was easy because there are a lot of letters to guess, but I could see this being difficult with short game titles.
Done; crossposted here. 😊 Good job finding this! Friedbaens has many accounts, but as far as I can tell, they only posted this one on Bluesky.
OK, that one’s really cool. @FloatingIsFun@fedia.io needs to see this. Want to crosspost it?
Oh? OK, it’s removed. It’s a shame so many artists used to use that site as their primary social media before they went off the deep end. This art is the only reason I still find myself there.
Sometimes I have to pretend I’m in space, far from the Earth and its dictators and dictator-wannabes who would gladly kill us all for political clout.
hitstun@fedia.ioOPto Gifs@lemmy.world•Cirque du Soleil Corteo: Helium Dance by Valentyna Pahlevanyan and Mauro Mozzani1·23 天前You’re mostly right. Fewer, bigger balloons means less balloon material to hold the same amount of helium.
However, Valentyna barely has any midair control at all. She relies on basically jumping in the direction she wants to go, or the crowd pushing her the right way. Maybe if she pulls down one of her balloons and holds it closer to her, she could change the balloons’ angle of attack while jumping. Strategically let go of that balloon to make its line go slack for a split second, letting her drop a few feet. That’s probably the extent of Valentyna’s control.
If anyone in the theatre has an air vortex cannon, they could control Valentyna’s flight a lot more than she could.
Oh, @MichaelWhelan@mastodon.art is on Mastodon! If you like this, you’ll want to read what the artist has to say about it.
