The Groyper Wars

One of the first sketches I ever made for Bloody Hell 2. This was also one of my first ever isometric sketches, and I quickly learned that overdrawing engine blockouts was way quicker than doing it all by hand :)) Check out @punintendedgames.bsky.social for more! #pixelart #gamedev #isometric

We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art, the art of words.

Um... I may have gotten carried away in writing my review of Strange New Worlds season 3...

still rattled by the sheer giddy glee with which some queers are coming for itch.io, one of the largest collections of queer games in existence. i know it's scary to accept, but we do actually have good things worth defending. we have things it would damage us to lose

Movie you’ve watched more than 6x using a gif (no Disney, Star Wars, LOTR, or Star Trek)

To be clear about my viewpoint: GenAI is only inevitable if we let it be. The only way to fight against something that we are being told is inevitable is to not use it and disprove the theory. We don't need to find "ethical" ways to create GenAI. We need to blank it out and make it embarrassing.

This article is a perf exp of how folks are going to use any excuse then can to feel ok with watching Harry Potter because they care more about getting to watch their show then systemic harm against trans people that they can distance themselves from. And Nick Frost is actively helping that.

The season unfolded for sure.. I have a lot of thoughts but I think I’ll write a blog post about it sometime.

YEEESSS oh please make the creature book accurate…

THE RISE OF END TIMES FASCISM My first major piece of the new Trump era, co-written with @astra.bsky.social. The governing ideology of the far right has become a monstrous, supremacist survivalism. Our task is to build a movement strong enough to stop them. www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

The new Doctor Who episode was so much fun!! I already adore Belinda, can’t wait to see how the season unfolds 💙

I finally started watching Voyager and Janeway might be becoming my favorite captain after like half a season

The industry loves nothing, devours everything, and will never care for anything but its own growth. If we want a better games industry, it has to be about people. It has to be caring for people, building up people, supporting people, protecting people, empowering people, connecting people.

i just published... "Why making art matters: We no longer have a type of industry where we can chase financial success. We can only sustainably fail." www.nathalielawhead.com/candybox/mak... about sustainable alternatives to existing in the game industry, and the positive impact of failure. #GameDev

NEW TOMODACHI GAME NINTENDO I OWE U MY LIFE

Artists feel pressured to make new art too quickly at the moment. Normalise artists fucking disappearing for months. Just walk off into the woods for a year and come back with a single sketch. It’s good for you

Great article on why nazis love AI Art. No longer do memes and communicating agenda require nazis to have a single creative worker in their corner willing to sign off on a hideous vision of society, AI offers direct brain-worms-to-audience communication newsocialist.org.uk/transmission...

A conversation I had with my best friend about mushrooms (The book is Entangled Life by Merlin Sheldrake)

Aloy's story is about fighting back against the apocalyptic effects of hubristic tech CEOs whose greed and short sightedness destroyed civilization

Ripley and Jonesy 👽

Ursula le Guin, on the accusation that fantasy is an escape from reality

I spoke with trans and genderqueer developers about working in games in the US amid an anti-trans administration and harassment from online communities. Many feel left behind by the companies they work for. “Can’t piss off the bigots, because they spend money.” www.wired.com/story/game-d...

this turned up again so i gotta share it again. it’s a wonderful resource! htmlforpeople.com “HTML isn’t only for people working in the tech field. It’s for anybody, the way documents are for anybody. HTML is just another type of document. A very special one—the one the web is built on.”

I've had a very long month this week
