The whirly hand thing was an accident while I was figuring out what to do with my big ol' orange fella . I was hoping to find a cheat code to magically make the mesh more uniform and tried out the LoopTools addon. This is the option I chose instead, after witnessing my PC spend an alarmingly long time processing it Blender wasn't responding. No crash tho >:]
So I recently went for it and decided to try ripping sprites for the first time, because the art in Endacopia is just too good to live only in the game. I’ve extracted all the sprites and I was wondering if there was any in particular people wanted to see? Bearing in mind the entire game is made of sprites— I extracted well over FORTY THOUSAND sprites from the game, which is absolutely obscene for a solo project. I’ve started organising them, and putting together sprite sheets. Are there any requests out there? It won’t be done super quickly, it’ll take at least a week and a half.
Also Andy I’m sorry bro but your art is just chef’s kiss too juicy. I must look at it or I will perish, and ripping the sprites is my way of doing that (also it’s a good way to get drawing references for fan art)
Yesterday an aircraft sheet metal technician at HAECO HK fell from height and sadly passed away. He is 62 y/o and fell from a 6 meter tall fuselage dock.
I just wanna say my thoughts and feelings towards this accident.
Look at the pictures, just look at it. Everything is just wrong, what is that? Poorly designed, cheap looking little metal plates to keep you from dying. No warning signs whatsoever. I have heard the Hangar retrofitted the metal plates after the dock was built, not some original design. Not certified, not durable and DEFINITELY NOT SAFE. Many mechanics reported this case to the company but they decided to turn a blind to it, until finally it took someone’s life.
HAECO HK to keep deflecting the blames because this is what they always do, they are soo good at not listening to their mechanics and giving us shit for “not doing enough safety precautions” while these wack-ass facilities are out there.
RIP to the si fu.

Sorry for the shoddy photo quality, blame my sister for that. This is Damen, an unsexed jumper she bought back at the end of April at an expo (but like a decent expo, not like the ones I read about in horror stories 0_0) he’s been eating flightless fruit flies pretty regularly since she got him but has been refusing food for the last week, so ofc I advised that he was in pre moult since he’s pretty young as well, and the timing seemed about right. However, we’re worried as this does not seem to be a typical position for molting. He’s just lying on his back at the bottom of his enclosure, which is very odd. I advised my sister not to touch him in case it is a molt so as to not disturb him. She mists part of the enclosure regularly for moisture, and keeps an eye on the temp and humidity via an electronic thermometer thing in the cage.
Further info— Damen hasn’t been handled at all yet. He was a bit sleepy the day prior to this photo, and the uk has been dealing with a nasty heatwave this week, so there was a point when his enclosure was over 30 degrees Celsius before she was able to cool it down again. Afaik my sister didn’t use any potentially harmful chemicals in her room, I’ve drilled her a few times about the risks of seemingly safe chemicals and scented products around animals and she’s absolutely the kind of person to take that seriously. I did watch a video with a lady in a car giving advice on molting jumpers and she mentioned that sometimes they can be positioned weirdly (certainly some other spoods don’t seem to care where they molt, esp huntsmans lol) but I’m struggling to find info online for this specific case. This is my sister’s first jumper and first invertebrate pet. I have a few years experience keeping tarantulas but know comparatively quite little about jumpers. Any help is appreciated enormously.
