Its almost crisis 🎅 #art #sharks

Two victims of previous school shootings — Mia Tretta, who was shot in the stomach in 2019 at Saugus High School, and Zoe Weissman, who survived the 2018 shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School — are now at Brown. Gun violence is out of control in this country.

"The work that client firms are settling for is not better when it’s produced by AI, but it’s cheaper, and deemed 'good enough.'” This is exactly what I feared. Not that AI would replace good writing (it can't), but that good writing would cease to be valued

2025 was fucking insane, to put it nicely

Aw yiss it’s that Time ✨

Looking back it's crazy how much BIG HOPS has changed over the years...

I think so many of us have stuck around in this industry because, despite all the dysfunction, you meet and get to work with some of the most wonderful and kind folks. Caring people you feel lucky enough to collaborate with, talk to, and call friends.

My only big post-game-award thought is that while Clair Obscur is obviously an excellent game (cmon, don't do the sour grapes thing, please?), it still doesn't come to mind AT ALL when I think of my favourite RPGs of the year That still goes to Look Outside, made by a tiny team in just a few months

OH GOD WHO GAVE HIM THAT

He can be ur angle…. or ur devil

That game I released last year only costs 6 bucks on Steam right now! - Cheaper than going to the movies but same length. - Difficulty depending on your country. - Cosmic and atmospheric horror. - Eerie and moody. People have enjoyed it thus far, why wouldn't you?

The best games of 2025 give a glimpse into a better world — where artists can invite audiences into their memoirs, where AAAs are thematically ambitious and small teams can sculpt epics. This is also my 100th(!!) proper video on YouTube, a milestone seven years in the making youtu.be/tJ4X6FsLn6Y

Yes it's true! Instead of the Game Awards I recommend watching my GDC lecture on the state of video game preservation. I put my entire ass into this and it would mean a lot if you watched. youtu.be/_00AjQNjgDk

We really need to double down on outwardly stating our work does not contain AI. We're seeing it in movie credits and books, we have to start putting it on things we make and pressuring others to label their work as human made, and normalize that as much as we can, I think. stuff like this maybe

around 40 game developers affiliated with @videogameworkers.bsky.social have gathered outside the peacock theater, where the game awards will take place in a few hours, for a “the industry is dead” demonstration

This is how pixel games are meant to look

Truly incredible work, no notes

Companies paying for the privilege of providing content for someone else's platform, all while losing creative control of one's own IP, was not on my 2025 bingo card but here we are.

Icelandic folklore tells of the Yule Cat that terrorizes children if they don't have new socks for Christmas. folklore does not specify whether the Yule Cat is adorable or not, tho. ❤️🐈‍⬛

A winter's night warning

kinda like NFTs this'll be a new shortcut to easily tell which companies or people to not work with and I'm not joking at all

absolutely the fuck not

Again, apologizing to all videogame environment artists who knocked up satirical posters for their games, I should not have rolled my eyes, yes, even you Cyberpunk billboard team, I am sorry

There's so much I love about this - the art style, the summer camp setting, the use of nonverbal communication, and all made in Godot! Really looking forward to trying this!!

leon’s back, baby

do you feel a weight lifted off your shoulders after ignoring the future class alumni and press who've asked you to comment on it's abandonment? or is editing hype trailers the most meaningful work you do

These mother fuckers are a threat to humanity and we should not be parading them around like celebrities to be idolized. Fallon has always been the worst so no surprises here, fuck him for doing it.

The Avarice Awards holds a mirror to the hollow glamour of The Game Awards, as workers continue to have their livelihoods upended by mass layoffs. We are speaking truth to the powers ruining the game industry with their greed! Stream begins on December 10th at 7pm PT / 10pm ET on twitch.tv/UVW_CWA

The way the sloppers pretend their organized theft is just as taxing as actual art is genuinely pathetic.

Some winter trees for your winter morning 🌲

Conservatives love AI because it's far easier to abuse a population that can't read, can't write, can't think, and can't tell what's real

The app lets people anonymously share the locations of immigration agents but Apple removed it from its app store under pressure from the Trump administration. Now, the app's developer is suing. n.pr/3XDeFVc

This is awesome. Print is such a good way to get around a bunch of distribution (and surveillance!) mechanisms that seem otherwise mandatory in this very gross economy. It is really nice to see it spelled out like this. It works great for us, and it'll work great for other places!

A half memory clings like a scrap of flesh on carrion. Once upon a time, in another life, the path you walked was that of a…

Buncha Krampuses

At some point someone just needs to say “you are an indecent person, you are lying to cover the slaughter of defenseless men, you know you are lying, and even under the tenets of your own professed faith you will certainly burn in hell if you continue down this path”

Artist alleys at comic cons bum me out sometimes because I’ll see artists who’ve inspired me my whole life grinding away hour by hour when they should all be comfortable as hell and doing whatever they want, making whatever they want. I want that for everybody!

… and he SERVED ✨

Can't believe our tax dollars are going to be spent settling the upcoming exorbitant defamation suit with Sabrina Carpenter, but maybe this is just how public arts funding is going to work now.

"I think if you go back 10 years ago, that version of Photoshop, you wouldn't want to go back to that version of Photoshop." Interesting, because almost every artist I know still uses CS6 (the last version you could own outright) which came out almost 14 years ago.

Forty years ago, 90% of media outlets were spread across 50 companies. Now, just 5 companies control 90% of the media market. This consolidation hurts consumers and helps oligarchs. 🧵

Here's a new sketch I did last night:

getting the onion newspaper is worth it alone for the ads
