For the new followers! My names Shaun Mooney, I'm a concept artist and now Indie dev working on my first project based on my dinky street sweepers. Enjoy!

Whether you're a STAR WARS fan or just a model builder, this new X-wing deep dive is outstanding. @ilmvfx.bsky.social www.ilm.com/how-to-build...

Alan Dershowitz, Mr “I kept my underwear on” is not going to be happy about this. The redacted document says he negotiated the Epstein agreement in order to protect himself. More generally, Epstein’s buddies are not going to be happy, as there seems to be a way to see behind the redactions …

So one thing that's fun about these Epstein files is how easily the "redaction" is defeated by simply dragging your mouse over the text and then using copy+paste (small 🧵)

& yes, I'm definitely subtweeting @kim-hu.com @naniiebim.bsky.social @godivaghoul.bsky.social @calumalexanderwatt.bsky.social @barbarianlord.bsky.social & @schweizercomics.bsky.social (just off the top of my head) here ;D

LOL, as someone who is more comfortable painting, I'm certainly envious of the linework of others ;D

My conspiracy theory about genAI in games blowing up more and more by big companies is that they’ve all got a ton of investors insisting they use genAI tools otherwise they(investors) won’t be able to bankroll em anymore

Holy shit Gareth! This palette! <3's :o

remember when blockchain was going to get integrated into every game whether you liked it or not? how it was going to solve true ownership, pay you money to play, put swords from one game in another, make Mario jump higher? some of the biggest companies were on board! They did NFTs! how’d that go

The Black Hole (1979) “He said, ‘Would you like to meet with Peter Ellenshaw, our production designer and head of the matte department? He’s done some renderings of some of the spaceships and things like that,’” said Nelson. “I met with Peter, and he took me up to his office and showed me..."

free paper game for your kid (community copies)

easy to feel demoralised seeing all these game company CEOs talking about genAI but remember a bunch of rich people will lose a lot if we don’t suddenly develop an unquenchable appetite for slop so they’re actually the ones on the back foot and have every incentive to lie about everything

1/5 Seeing some tech/ai slop accounts online claiming that AI has always been used in games, pretending GenAi is a part of that, when its absolutely not. Yes, AI has always been a part of games in: NPC behaviors, Data Mining, PCG’s (Procedural Content Generation) etc All different from GenAi!

Indulging in little Christmas break model kit making

impressive friend stack!

"This promise of an AI future, is really just a collective anxiety that wealthy people have about how well they're gonna be able to control us in the future." - @tressiemcphd.bsky.social with an absolute mic drop moment about AI bullshit. Incredible words. Listen to all of it!

It's irresponsible to keep talking my dude

Get ready for a whole bunch of "Let's just drop the Epstein Story" guys to start turning up in Epstein Files photos ;D

When the subject of artists’ earnings comes up online, a question that often gets raised is ‘Why don’t you just work together to negotiate better rates?’ or ‘Why don’t you just form a union?’ If you don’t work in the arts or a related industry, this is fair question to ask. 1/

Me when I want to communicate an idea without using AI to burn an acre of rainforest. Have you ever heard of a fucking doodle?

incredible that the oldest scam in the book — “look away from the greed and poor leadership that destroy your chance to make a career, it is the [blanks] that stole your job!” — still works

We need more red computers

Game accessibility isn’t niche — over 1 billion people worldwide have a disability. Accessible design expands your audience by default.

It's always "Charge more for Games" or "Lay off some Staff" & never "Hmm... maybe we should re-examine Executive salaries & bonuses?" :|

There's Second prize. There's First prize. And there's Enterprise. #WIP

Shareholders, historically known for doing the better thing for customers

Hi, I'm the CEO of Glorbo, the company who enjoys near unprecedented goodwill in our field, I'm here today to talk to you about our pivot to using the Magic 8-Ball powered by children's bones that everybody hates, I've given myself psychosis listening to the 8-ball aaaaeeeeeiiiiooouuuu

When people use GAI I always think of Ronnie Coleman saying, "Everybody wants to be a bodybuilder, but don't nobody wanna lift no heavy-ass weights!"

So this Waterfox thing seems to be worth investigating? But I'm getting real tired of having to find "an alternative to" things just because some Tech Fuck decided to take a thing that had been working fine & break it :|

I try to focus on posting about art and comics and not my complaints about the state of everything but GOOD GRIEF

I don’t look at media at the moment but just received this text - so difficult for these poor journalists who are keen supporters of transphobia but also want to attack the BBC

Resharing this post cause I'm saving it and now using it anywhere to try and pin down "what kind of AI are we talking about???"

IF ALL YOU WANT IS LINE GO UP THERE ARE FIELDS THAT DIRECTLY REWARD ABSURD EFFICIENCY AND COST CUTTING GO INSTALL SPRINKLER SYSTEMS STOP RUINING ART

Using genAI for concept art is so fucking stupid because like... that's where you get the cool shit. Thats the blue sky phase where artists make pieces of art that will be seen by a teenager later and change their life forever. Why would you want to start from mediocre. Why would you do that.

Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977) Steven Spielberg: "After the film’s success, I went back to Columbia (...) and said, ‘Now let me finish the film the way I had always intended to. I wanna recut certain scenes and I want to shoot more sequences.’ And then they said to me ‘We’ll give you..."

97% OF PEOPLE: 'No Torment Nexus please.' 3% OF PEOPLE WHO ALSO HAPPEN TO BE PART OF TORMENT NEXUS PLC: 'Torment Nexus is good.' POLITICIAN: 'It's so difficult to know what people really want.'

When 97% is 'no clear consensus', and 52% is 'the will of the people', it's time to face facts that Governments do what Governments want to do regardless of what their people actually want.

More often than not, folks that say "[name] is an echo chamber" really just mean "[name] is having none of my bigoted bullshit" & those folks can get fucked ;D
