It's all bad of course, but it is the most c-suite brained thing to think of it as "just" concept art because it doesn't appear in the final product. Concept art is the creative bedrock of your entire project. If you're comfortable using it there, the entire thing is rotten.

We can fight and we can win

I'm not sure if people realize the murder strikes are taking place across a large region. It's quite staggering. www.newsweek.com/map-us-strik...

I think it's important not to misunderstand what these social media platforms are. They are not public arenas where we bravely take on reactionary forces in honorable combat. They are apps that expose you to stress and thereby simulate the feeling of having done something useful

The hill I will die on: as Belle dances through the village, the baker who yells to his wife, "Marie, the baguettes!" The term "baguette" used to refer to an elongated loaf of bread did not enter use until the 1920s. The half-timbered architecture suggests Alsace. Therefore: BatB was interwar.

This headline actually made me cry. I wish I could convey to people in countries with gun control how very, very precious it is.

"I had not touched a cat in 15 years when an orange kitten wandered over to sit with me in the grass one day. I was left without adequate words to describe that experience. It reminded me that I am alive."

another day making control 2. everyone keeps asking me if they can kiss ahti. buddy, they won't even let ME kiss him.

my name is cow and wen its nite and when a star is shiyning brite and three wise men give me the nod i walk up close I lik the God

Reminder that if anyone is setting you up online to do some crime, THAT PERSON IS A COP. ALWAYS. WITHOUT FAIL.

"Hanukkah is a story about surviving. Not forever. But just for a little while. It’s about not having enough: enough oil, enough light, enough time. And then going on anyway. ... It is a holiday not about salvation but about enduring despite everything having gone wrong."

With this piece of bread on the ground in Ottawa, Canada and the one below in Perth, Australia, @drstip.bsky.social and I have successfully created an Earth sandwich. The hot dog vs sandwich debate is concluded. If the Earth is sandwiched, everything is a sandwich. HAPPY EARTH SANDWICH DAY!

The speeding discourse really underlines how many people think that everybody gets one day of their life when they're in an action movie

gravy boats imply the existence of gravy maritime law

so far tonight msnbc has interviewed two students from brown university that are also survivors of separate high school shootings. insanity.

Gen X, finally roused from its ideological torpor, gathers outside the White House. the police are called, the fire hoses are turned on them but they start drinking it and only get stronger

I will never forgive the tech bros for ruining cute animal videos.

I am so proud of them. the kids did it. they made a new stupid number to say. they may now take their place in history.

Sharing this because it's funny.

The #BEASTLab won second place in the departmental holiday decoration contest!

Looking for an *L.A. based* artist who (against all odds) has time for a poster gig before the end of the year. It's for a science + art event. We can offer $500 for the gig. Dreadfully sorry about the timeline. Link a portfolio if you're interested, I'll delete this post when we found someone.

The original is marketing which used immigrant workers to promote a building. This piece is showing feckless morons who think they deserve immortality at the expense of the people in the original, and everyone else.

i also believe in building a better world for workers. i also believe that all people are entitled to respect and dignity and that there ought to be social sanction for those who openly degrade others. you call me a “n*gger” to my face and i am not going to smile and shake your hand.

note to everyone else they're trying to intimidate: telling the administration to fuck off remains the single most effective response

See also: BAFTA's "Game Beyond Entertainment", which ends up as a catch-all for games with PoC in them + social impact games. While it's an honour to be nominated for a BAFTA I was utterly baffled that *Thirsty Suitors* a game about fighting your hot toxic exes and wuxia cooking was in this category

I hate this idea that stepping outside of white narratives is medicinal rather than entertaining. And it's patronising to be sidelined from the creative awards, as though all our craft, design and ingenuity is secondary to our work "being good for you" or meaningful solely in identitarian terms.

It's so fucked up to have been a kid during the D&D is the devil freakout and the Tipper Gore dirty lyrics freakout and live to see the teen suicide machine get such a pass.

The Fellowship of the Ring (2001) is now older than Ralph Bakshi’s Lord of the Rings (1978) was when Fellowship of the Ring was released.

You could probably substitute RFK jr for the antagonist of any mainline resident evil game and it wouldnt change anything about the game

I made a Chrome extension that swaps Times New Roman for Calibri on every site or just .gov. It also had Open Sans and Open Dyslexic, because f**k these people. I’m waiting for Google’s approval for it to install automatically, but you can download it and install it in 90 seconds. Instructions 👇

I was one of the other authors whose free games were used as a basis for this (by permission, under contract). Read the thread for details; I agree with every word Alan has written (both the positives about the game, and the negatives about Jonathan Blow).

Bet. First, I'm gonna cheat and get four games from Enigma Studio because I really want to get around to talking about them and i haven't yet. First, play The Enigma Machine. It's a short (~1-2 hour) horror game about managing an AI's dreams.

Google ReAIder, a reading app that just makes shit up for you to read that might have been posted by sites you used to read but can't trust anymore.

The question for me is whether the actual conversations in government sounded this clownish and obvious in those days like it does right now. Like are we just more easily duped or has it always been this blatant throughout history?

I want y'all to tie this directly to the history of things like cointelpro. When Black people say things like "the government intentionally flooded Black neighborhoods with drugs to drive criminalization." Whiteness has always been capable of this. This is what it does.

This exchange is wild. These people are clowns.

schumer caved on the shutdown so he could get this

It seems people want to ponder orbs—I mean learn about Matcaps! They're great for gesturing at complex lighting and reflections within a stylized art style. And as a bonus, no UV unwrapping! ^.^

furious that the trump administration has somehow figured out how to make piracy uncool

Reminder to drop positive reviews for games you like to counterbalance the world's worst people

Importantly, this wouldn't have passed without Dem support. There was enough of a split within Republican ranks that if Dems had voted against the bill it would've been doa. Giving Trump a blank check to warmonger *and* passing an anti-trans measure was a choice.
