As a kid: Fellowship is the most boring LOTR film. As a quarter-life crisis adult: Fellowship is the best LOTR film.

In the pursuit of 'tradition' and 'gezelligheid' the Dutch have successfully burned down a nearly 150 year old church during New Year's Eve tonight - probably cementing the fireworks ban that was set to happen in 2026.

Reporting from: 2026 - it's pretty great so far!

Same Frodo, same.

time to optimize your UE5 project, kiddos

Honestly, why? Why take away a title that's common in music and other arts. You can have a solo expo in fine arts, you can make a solo record, or perform as a solo musician. There are stage technicians, session musicians or whatnot involved too. But in gaming, you're basically branded a cheat?

last letterboxd of the year my new year's resolution will be to be more consistent in logging the movies I watch but my phone keeps logging me out and it's really annoying happy 2026 everyone

Heading into 2026, I'm still looking for fulltime or contract work as a senior writer or narrative designer. If you need someone who can write sharp characters, poetic prose, and emotional stories, I'm available! You can find my portfolio here: www.hazelmonforton.com

4 games that defined my 2025

Avatar is all about vibes. Always has been. No studio can afford to risk half a billion on an Avatar-competitor. That's why Hollywood jumped on the legacy IP train. James Cameron always wanted to make Avatar. It's his life mission. His whole being is put into those movies and it shows.

tfw you google "biggest changes PoE1 and PoE2" and it takes you a minute to figure out they're talking about Path of Exile instead of Pillars of Eternity 🤡

Merry chrysler to those who celebrate!

Die hard 4 was cool until John McClane started saying some sexist racist 2000s macho shit lmaooo

Welcome, Twitter escapees/new Bluesky users. Four quick tips: 1. Starter packs are awesome. I made a game dev one here -> go.bsky.app/RxQCsKS 2. Bluesky's block is much more potent. Do not quote, or dunk. There's no pay-to-win so silence does remove nasty people. Blocks and move on copiously.

Hey mini painters. Is there a visual chart of how gold looks in various washes? Working on this boy. Can't find it on google. #miniaturepainting

they didn't need AI to make Silksong, it just needed some deeply insane guys to have a blank check for living expenses until their next thing was done, I think we should try doing more of that instead

If you want to be extremely black and white about it: if you use Google or any AI-powered search engine / browser to do any work related to your game, your game is technically made with AI.

you can only be an indie game developer if you submit your parents' combined income and the value of their holdings

This is incredibly painful for me. I have never asked for help like this before. But I have had people reach out to me asking if they can help, so I am sharing my story and finally asking for help. I've been lucky to have a lovely group of followers here, please share if you can, anything helps <3

Our upcoming game The Hearth and Harbour is fully 2D, but with some neat tricks we’ve made it look 3D. Ethan, our environment artist, did this with a special type of texture called a Normal Map. (Thread! 1/7)
