Sorry to bang on about it, but Boycott Spotify

anyways, make video game

why is writing so easy and so difficult at the same time

Doing a little devlog as replies to this post for my own entertainment 😊

Something I get a lot of joy out of is #crafty projects. Currently I'm on a diamond painting roll. I've made a few Christmas ornaments, but am also experimenting with freestyle using pokemon sprites 😊

get past the idea of perfection. every artist you know and love is constantly learning and thereby constantly improving. perfectionism will kill your creativity. you gotta make stuff that looks bad before you can make stuff that looks good.

Gently nudging myself out of hibernation mode by giving myself something to work on - until the end of February I'm going to properly learn to work with React :) I did a crash course a few years ago and feel like I don't remember anything from that at all. Time to brush up on it!

The year is a week old and I've already had two absolutely amazing cups of coffee. Both made in my own home. One was with the perfect amount of caramel syrup, and the other was half chocolate milk, half coffee. I have to post about this to remind myself that life is about the little things.

Happy New Year! I’m starting 2026 off with foxes haha. Ink sketches of an island fox, refs from @animalphotorefs.bsky.social. And the weather was finally mild enough for sculpting so I made a snow fox :) #art #sketch #sciart #addmam 🦊

I really want to try to pick a project to focus on this year and see how far I can really come if I put the effort in. I love to move around between project wips, but the thought of ending the year with something bigger is extremely appealing.

My resolution for 2026 is to be employed 🥲

May 2026 be better, safer, and fairer. May all that was good in 2025 be better in 2026. May all that was bad in 2025 be things we put our efforts towards improving.

Happy new years everyone! ✨ I hope 2026 treats you kind.

Strongly feeling this again today. I want to talk about it but will it impact how employers see me? Visibility for my disorder is so important - I didn't know it existed until I got the diagnosis.

Hey you! Stop playing Fortnite!

There's always room for your art! I didn't even believe in my own art until recently! You got this!!

Since Polygon is leaving it out of the headline: Epic Games partnered with The Game Awards to put money into the pocket of a bigot who uses her wealth to further the genocide of trans people through lawsuits and legislation. Every 'free' game gives money directly to JKR, and they are complicit.

friendly reminder that you didn't waste your year. any moments of happiness or comfort. any small accomplishments, they all matter. this has been a really hard year, and simply surviving is something to be proud of.

march, my bird army #pixelart #ドット絵

@jopilatje.bsky.social and I made a little game based on snake for this jam 🥰 josienvos.itch.io/ozosnake #sinterklaasslowjam2025 #gamedev

Hi everyone I did the artfight arctic fight 2025 event this is what I made Dachsbun Bundled up in sweater on a bean bag with Fireside carpet and wall colors and icefishing outside background! #ArcticFight2025 #Dachsbun #pokemon #pokemonfanart

This has been a great year for the engine, but there are still a lot of things we would love to do. If each person visiting our website donated €5, we could hire 5 more developers to work on Godot full-time. 👉 fund.godotengine.org

Job interview tomorrow. It still feels surreal honestly. I haven't even been looking for that long compared to other devs, but I'm in a weird situation where finding suitable work can be pretty tough, and more than a month of rejections is no easy feat. Let's see if this one works out 🙏

I really have trouble with programming languages that have very few punctuation marks but only because it looks so naked someone please put my function's coat back on, she's getting cold

Pokémon Picross is genuinely so good, it's a shame they put huge paywalls on progressing. Most days I can only do the daily training until I have enough picrites to unlock the next area, which then only releases about 6 new puzzles before I'm stuck again. And yet its the best picross game I know!!!

agumon from digimon is very happy to see you for #pixel_dailies! more side view character practice, 24x30 sprite using the juice56 palette with inspiration from gba battle spirit! this covers the last two prompts, #reptilian and #mascot! #ドット絵 #pixelart @pixeldailies.bsky.social

This is a really vulnerable time for paypro call centers. It's already been reported that Mastercard is stressed by our persistence I know we're all busy around this time too but let's fire the engines 🔥

Hey everyone, here's a real simple way to disable "Super Resolution" on your channels: • YouTube Studio • Settings • Channel • Advanced settings • Uncheck "Let YouTube enhance visual quality" • Uncheck "Let YouTube enhance audio quality"

Here's a reminder that play-by-post forum RPGs are free, fun, and a great way to meet lifelong friends :3

People throughout your life will continuously tell you to live less authentically. Most of them mean well, but they think the only way to live in our society is by following the trodden path. You have to constantly ask yourself if that is what you want your life to look like or not.

"Quality of Life Improvements" are sometimes a bad idea for your game. Don't round out your interesting edges because you're afraid a player will feel a hard feeling!

With covid doing the rounds right now, its a good time to remind everyone that doctors recommend you avoid strenuous activity for at least 6 weeks post infection - EVEN IF YOU FEEL TOTALLY NORMAL. Covid is much more than a respiratory infection; it is busy ripping through all your internal organs.

It is genuinely dishearteningly difficult to find a job in front-end or gamedev as a junior with burnout symptoms 😔

Happy #PortfolioDay! I place and sometimes animate pixels. I really like top-down environments, tilesets and limited palettes.

My next game is a Tetris style word game called Writer's Block Spell words one block at a time and set up combos by sandwiching words between each other Aiming to release early 2026!

*and Affinity, if this suspiciously vague tease continues to walk and quack like a stolen image of a duck.

September is Bi Visibility Month, so perceiving me may be easier, as all bisexuals have disadvantage on stealth rolls until Halloween 1st.

Reminder: if you are worried about AI replacing you as an artist: don’t use AI voices, If you don’t want composing to be handed over to AI: don’t use it to write text. You get the idea. If you value your job: protect others jobs too.

Sharing a small game soon! Here's the cover image I quickly whipped up for it! #gamedev #comingsoon
