Headcanon Wednesday: how not to crash your brand new cross-species spaceship
A team of six mathematicians working on the Normandy SR-1 project have a nightmare job: they have sole responsibility for converting everything into base-10.
The Normandy’s design schematics are turian, and arrive in base-6. It takes the engineering team a few days to realize this, because it didn’t occur to anyone from either species; it’s only when an intern frowns at engine output optimization and determines that those numbers would make space collapse in on itself if they were accurate that anyone gives a turian’s six fingers compared to a human’s ten any thought.
Everything screeches to a halt (which causes a minor political uproar everyone - from both species - on the project ignores). Before any real work can start, all numbers have to be converted into base-10 so the humans can understand the math and build properly.
Those six mathematicians go home with headaches every night. Sure, they could run the numbers through a conversion program and be done in seconds…but given that humanity crashed the Mars Climate Orbiter because the flight system used metric and the ground system used imperial, no one’s interested in taking chances with the Normandy.

I’ve been looking for this for ages now! Why is there no angry shouting emoji
a small Texture Tutorial
I’ve been asked a few times about how I use textures, especially gold textures, so I’ve decided to try and do a little tutorial about it. I’ve never really done a tutorial, but I hope it’s easy to understand, since it’s not difficult to apply :)
There are a hundred ways of doing the same thing, this is just one of those ways.
For other (BETTER) tutorials explaining more about textures and other ways to use them, I point you all towards the 3 tutorials that taught ME the basics!
fyi deviantart announced they're doing ai generation using uploaded creations on the site
All creations are automatically opted in to be used in the program, so if you want to opt out you have to do it manually one by one :/ :/ not even mentioning what this means with creators who have passed away with their creations on the site...
overall a real scum move. I only have a few old pieces up there so im just going to be deleting my stuff from the site. I feel so bad for artists with hundreds of art pieces on there having their stuff stolen like this...
(Btw I would be sitting with the bigbois, I really really love the cold weather and this is the time of the year when my brain can actually function 🤣)
