When you realize there actually exists a whole economic class that is able (and willing) to spend 1/4th of the cost of a house on one night's worth of entertainment. And that this is so normal that event coordinators can reasonably expect those 6 court-side seats to be filled.

Y'all. Please remember the artists that drew these things when sending around memes. I feel for these artists who NEVER get credited for these (and some, nowadays, are even being accused of being AI!) Here's a few common ones I see (feel free to add others, I want this to be a living thread): 🧵

Good morning. Someone please put Hank Hill in a fighting game so his intro line can be: "I don't usually condone violence; but for you specifically... I'm pro-pain."

Thanks, Vonnegut. 💜

Can't stop watching the GENER8ION - STORM music video. Genuinely mesmerizing and artfully executed. www.youtube.com/watch?v=x6_m...

"I have a lot of financial stake in the tech industry that bet it all on AI. Please assimilate... I need this to do gangbusters."

The Sea of Thieves demo got me. AI: "So hop on board, raise your anchor and start figuring out the ropes" "Ok, how do I get on the ship?" <AI spends rest of demo spoon feeding instructions to the player so they don't need to 'figure out' anything> 1 step away from: "please play the game for me"

Long live 2D animation (& practical effects).

trying to work on your fun little games while the industry falls apart around you:

Had a dream that there was global panic about the world running out of oxygen, Nintendo was the only video game company to make a statement about it, and the internet collectively spent its final hours on Earth debating whether Nintendo was being genuine or not

Fuck You Coinbase, fuck you fuck you fuck you fuck you. Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck you for preying on my nostalgia for music from the 2000s with your fucking karaoke superbowl ad I fucking hate crypto even your ads are predatory. Rest in shit you motherfuckers.

Posting this again to remind you you dont have to be an amazing artist to draw comics!

I'd like to add that like in all industries, when we stop understanding how our tools work, we become entirely dependent on the corporate entities that own the mold. We are trading the ability to build and repair for the convenience of being permanent tenants in someone else's infrastructure/subs.

Sad night... doodled a happy fluffy fella. Very therapeutic.

how it feels to breathe wrong in your 30s

Musk: "We want to make Star Trek real"... (y'know minus the racial / gender inclusivity, post-scarcity society, egalitarian politics, emphasis on peaceful diplomacy, appeals to scientific evidence over superstition, acting honorably, thinking rationally, engaging in honest debate, being empathetic)

it’s come to my attention that my tumblr post has been crossposted to bluesky, so I’m posting it on my account here #AntiAI #GenAI

Ok, so now that our president has decided he is allowed to (at his sole discretion) delegitimize a foreign leader, kidnap them, take over their country and its resources (defying and thus eroding international law), what's to stop Putin from..... Ohhhh... OHHHHH... Uh oh...

holy fuck what an intro

here.. abrotchabuger... *PAFF*

Elf-on-the-shelf is a government psy-op to normalize the concept of the surveillance state in the minds of impressionable young children.

$1 million for a Game Awards Trailer is a way over our budget. So, we are going to post our dog game here for free and reposting is free as well! What a great deal!

Going into 2026, a reminder for everyone who's fallen off the creative wagon, game dev, writing, art, music, whatever, no matter how long:

ordered food here. the server did 7 frame-perfect turnarounds in a row and launched themselves through the door speeding past my table at 700km/h but the plate was perfect. 5 star service, would eat here again

need-a-penny, take-a-penny

I will be lighting the candles, painting the sigils, drawing the salt circles... 2025 has been the year of "Fucking around" I am manifesting 2026 to be the year of "Finding out" for the shameless, the greedy, the dishonest, the callous.

I think there should be a law that as soon as you are sworn in as an elected official in any capacity in the U.S. you are not allowed to use ANY form of social media. You got elected, great! No more farming for likes or making cheap political dunks... put your phone away and do your fucking job.

Post something random, or you'll have an awful December.

incredible that for big companies, this is gonna be considered the 'uncompromising take'

At its heart, Star Trek is a utopian fantasy about a society so advanced that they are capable of holding productive meetings that last no longer than three minutes

Hello! After an entire year, I finally finished working on this animation! And apologies for being silent for long periods of time recently, but I was completely locked in😁 It should premiere this coming Friday, 2:00 PM PST. More details in the video link below 👍 www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7_9...

Reflecting on a thought from a few years back: "God I wish we could just move on from crypto / NFTs being the biggest tech fad" *monkey paw curls*

10/10 take. No notes.

Not now, carnivorous death ball

I REALLY just wanna go to a flat earther convention and like; set up a debate between a disk-earther and a square-earther and just watch them duke it out as I ask unrelated questions like "Which continents are close to the edge?" "How thick is it?" "Do tornadoes wrap around like in Asteroids?"

Every single day of my goddamn life.

Begging on my hands and knees for the day that modern video games move past this "temporal smearing" approach to rendering tech. I gotta hold the camera still for 1-2 seconds to allow the TAA / RTGI / SSR to fully settle. I would much rather have fully rendered frames than noisy smeared garbage!

Yeah, I'm done with this company. (would've done this sooner, but things have been busy)
