This touches on a lot of the ideas about the creative process and how important working on something is to finding out what it'll turn into in a lot of the ways I've been thinking about over the last couple years Also very cool tf2 development lore. www.youtube.com/watch?v=GNv-...

I just think they're neat

Anyway I will have a whole bunch of these on my person at TFcon Toronto for sale Will also have some printed at a larger size with a blank space on it in case anyone wants to get David Kaye to sign one

we live in an age of wonders

WebUrbEx 1.0 has been out for a couple weeks now and we're grateful for the attention we received on launch and for everyone who's followed this account. This being said we're by no means resting on our laurels and a blog post on future development for WebUrbEx is currently in the works. Stay tuned!

really fucking hate how "accessibility" has been hijacked to mean "let's treat everyone as if they're children at all times"

No, the assumption that disabled people require our colleagues’ stolen words and illustrations chopped up and spewed out in order to participate in art is ableist. We have BEEN creating art. Many of the works you love? Made by someone marginalized out of traditional jobs.

She wears those shades because her future’s so bright #grogart

If I were in charge of Metroid Prime 4 I would make it so it carried if you were in ball mode to cutscenes. I want to see people talking to Samus but she's just a ball.

new version of the advert:

I felt like I was having a stroke when I realized they're getting Tupac's likeness for a character in the game that isn't Tupac

Yeah shoot maybe I am!

Entire series where it's just the adventures of the doctor setting out to tidy out all the other 20,000-odd rooms in the TARDIS so he can find the TV remote. No adventures, just watching a guy clean up thousands of scifi rooms. Once an episode he gets to use the pressure washer.

How ridiculous! Someone arrested and thrown in jail (community service) for simply asking for a kiss??? Wait a second… let me just click on the link and scroll down past the headline

if I seem militant about AI it's because a lot of my friends are writers, concept artists, QA people, etc, and they are the ones who are currently having their careers obliterated by that shit. not speculatively. happening right now. I don't see a need to be soft towards ppl who shrug at that

Knife crime is actually falling in the UK, though certain individuals are trying to trick us into believing the opposite is the case. Ask yourself why. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

*stares at the camera with a weary, knowing look*

This fills me with love, light and joy.

Honestly it's really sad to see your art form viewed like this not just from outsiders but from a (former) insider. Programming is rewarding and creative and zen and frustrating and an art form where you shape the experience you have in the process of doing it. Sad for someone to have lost that.

Game Devs Reveal All Their Ugly Placeholder Assets Made Without AI Who needs AI when you can make ugly and very charming placeholder assets like this? kotaku.com/crimson-dese...

oh I love learning about indev stuff. here's a fun fact: during wanderstop dev I set up a spot in the animation test level that would automatically load bbc fish videos on the wall as a web-render-to-texture when I needed stress relief

This is what every game developer sounds like right now.

"Apple, Google, and Meta are very excited to announce the release of new AI-driven products. We guarantee that they will respect your privacy. Unfortunately, these products are not available in Europe, as they have laws to protect your privacy."

Tomorrow he's going to announce he's banned the teams from showing up too in case they have more fun playing than he has watching.

I firmly believe that PLIPT belongs in the same iconic category as SNIKT and THWIP

Thinking about this a lot, today. (Also, weirdly pleased John Romero has kept his long, luscious hair.) www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ukoi...

Describing the economy as "K shaped" feels like some sort of newspeak to hide how bad things are behind technical sounding terms.

Hearing of soldiers, any soldiers taking potshots at doctors and medical professionals always makes me sick. These people have dedicated their lives to helping, saving and healing other people. It's a gruelling and traumatic occupation to choose and they play an essential role in our modern society.

Something I appreciate about Marjane Satrapi is that she didn’t let them pigeonhole her into a career of nothing but autobio comics. She did so many things that were like “Really??? The Persepolis artist???” She directed a a serial killer horror comedy starring Ryan Reynolds!

A DaThings classic, updated for this particular day:

I’ve worked in TV animation for the past 16 years and “stunt casting” voiceover work has the worst ROI across the board and executives never get tired of doing it.

Love this bit on Ai from the Royal Society. A classic case of the probability engine getting itself in a mess and revealing its complete lack of understanding
