✨ hire humans✨ you get— -actual real thoughtful solutions to complex problems instead of random regurgitation -society gets to continue

Develop “concept art”?? 💀 💀 💀 All the image models solely rely on stolen work of countless of artists to function at capacity. Using them not only is deeply unethical but puts the company at risk. Not worth it and I truly hope ( hell, I’m begging) that they reconsider 😭

Again I say: how fucking interesting that remote work technology is bad and not worth adopting despite all research pointing to productivity gains, but genAI which offers NOTHING is so important to adopt and force on people who have no use for it despite all the horrible things genAI does

Mega congratulations to Jennifer English on her performance in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, and win for "Best Performance" at the Game Awards! Jennifer stars in our film, “Divine Intervention”, a queer fantasy rom-com, coming to a streaming channel in Spring 2026!

Tried to make a piece with a colored background for once lmao Chaos - Hades II 🧿 #art #digitalart #hades2 #videogameart

The most powerful narrative device a game can deploy is "throw you back to the main menu but it's different"

Burned out.

Please bear this in mind if you consider grabbing Hogwarts Legacy for free, thinking that you can accept/play it without it now doing harm. It's free to you but comes with a cost elsewhere.

Maybe slight hot take, maybe it's just cynicism now knowing how things end up getting cancelled or not living to hype set by these trailers, but 9 times out of 10 I just don't enjoy an overly produced cinematic game trailer (that is clearly not made in house and they probably spent millions on lol)

more frog, again. seasonal frog

I painted Marcus the Worm for my bestie @katakemi.bsky.social 🖤🪱 He was painted in oils, alla prima, "inspired by" the great John Singer Sargent (read: ripping off). A video chronicling the creation of this masterwork can be seen on Insta & YouTube (I'll link below).

That feeling when you realize you’re in a dream 💭

friend was thinking "what if gummy dratini" so this happened... i also used to really like gummy sharks #b3d #pokemon #art

Went to see Zootopia/Zootropolis 2 and ate loads of sweets and had a GOOD end to this Monday Don't sleep on Zootopia 2 btw, honestly really enjoyed it!! And beautiful animation

I just wanna make cool things and have people go "hey, that's cool" in return. Thank you x

I spoke to @fortune.com about my upcoming book Super Nintendo and the secret(s) to Nintendo's enduring success - a large part of which is cultivating and caring for developers instead of hiring and firing everyone in yearly cycles. (Book deets: linktr.ee/super_nintendo) fortune.com/2025/11/28/s...

Keeper update! ▪️Noir mode! ▪️Ultrawide monitor support! ▪️New accessibility features! You would think a colorful game like Keeper would loose a lot going black & white, but this version has been tuned by @leepetty.bsky.social himself so it really highlights the drama. (As well as his love for AC/DC.)

Silksong fanart Acrylic gouache and ink on paper

Let me give some insight on this, as a producer in the dub industry who worked with major streamers, who's witnessed first-hand where this push for AI is coming from. tl;dr: Only CEOs want this. Tell them how much you hate it. Be loud, email, call, @, post. You will kill this. 🧵⬇️

NEW: I spoke to Team Cherry about Silksong DLC, cut content, difficulty settings, storytelling, what they were thinking with Bilewater, the lack of signposting for Act 3, whether they'll do another Hollow Knight game, and much, much more www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

It's kinda crazy hearing all this stuff with the R* situation, their crunch and that whole "slack policy". I don't know when studios will understand that time does not equal more and better work.

I'm really really struggling to find potential Sponsors for @limitbreak.co.uk at the moment We're not looking for huge amounts of money. We're a very lean programme thanks to our amazing volunteers! Can you help? Look at out Sponsorship Deck or share this post 💖 limitbreak.co.uk/sponsorform

“THE NON-ARTIST FIXATION ON HYPERREALISM AS THE PINNACLE OF ART IS CLEARLY PART OF THE REASON SO MANY ADULTS THINK THEY CANNOT DRAW OR CONSIDER THEMSELVES TO BE FAILURES, KAWAII, FOLK ART, DOODLES, OR OTHER EASIER ENTRY POINTS ARE CONSIDERED CHILDISH, WHICH IS WHY JAPANESE DRAWING BOOKS ARE BETTER…”

Hi, looking for some illustration work at the moment, send me a message if you'd like some art for your project. You can also email me at [email protected] Thanks!

Inclusion of all kinds means an actual seat at the table, with actual power, actual progress and actual actions as a result, not a closed door and people with power asking why people aren't trying hard enough to get in.

making art in the time of AI lately i've been getting more questions (and occasionally downright accusations) of using AI in art and music. rest assured i have not and will never touch that garbage. thank you

Just want you to know that when I asked Geoff why he gave the silent treatment to an open letter written by his own "future of games" program (& co-signed by 3000+ industry peers), he replied: "Because that's my show and nobody gets to tell me how I should use my platform". 💀💀💀

“Don’t gather some of the most brilliant activists in the industry, treat us like crap, and then expect us to do nothing about it.” After the Game Awards cancelled its Future Class programme, @alyssamerc.bsky.social talked to its former honorees www.theguardian.com/games/2025/n...

I went to meet the 'Rockstar 31', the developers who were suddenly fired from their work on GTA 6 for what the studio has described as gross misconduct. That's not what the workers call it though. They have another couple of words they prefer to use: union busting. www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9nO...

Realised that my form of doomscrolling is scrolling through the property websites 🥲

just leaving this text from an oooold blog post of mine here re: TGAs ditching the future class

I was a member of TGA Future Class 2022 and lemmee tell ya, my skin has been crawling since pretty much every interaction I had with them (few) & story I heard about other members' interactions with them (many) was bad. & by bad I mean, so many shades of being used as photo op tokens & nothing more

Just seen that new cola ad and it is CURSED

Royal Warp you say.... (Don't tell the king I still put it on social media)

wish I was here

Just a rough ol' mental health time 🖤

The Coca-Cola Christmas ad, made with AI, used at least eight AI models known to be trained on copyrighted work without permission. This is a huge middle finger to the artists whose work these models exploit, at scale, for huge commercial gain.

Hey folks! I hope ya’ll are well! Just a lil reminder that if you like my art (or Echo) you can support me on Ko-Fi as I look for work and try to get back on my feet. All money goes to paying bills. If you’re not in a position to help, sharing means a lot 💙 Thank you! ko-fi.com/belgianboolean
