I've been branching out with my lathe work and the results are available in my shop! Grab a unique handcrafted wood vessel to show off your new shiny (objects) and help some artists pay the mortgage! www.galdrecraft.com

you can def network vertically, but prioritize networking horizontally surround yourself with kind, hardworking, and talented friends, and it’s only a matter of time before your careers go places also: if you can’t take an opportunity, pass it on to a friend who’d do just as well if not better

That's an interesting favourite character you got there Would be a shame if they were doomed by the narrative

Hey, I’m Kat - I’ve worked as a visdev artist on the Spiderverse films, KPop Demon Hunters, The Legend of Aang, and more! It’s nice to meet you, welcome!

New follower surge why? Where y'all coming from? Am I on a list? Am I in TROUBLE? 😂

Losing my mind trying to get an old Thunderbolt 2 cable Old Mac hit the 🚫 wall before I'd finished transferring via Migration. Now I can only access it in hard disk mode to get the last of my files, but I need a cable they DON'T MAKE ANYMORE? If y'all know where to find one plz save my life

this stupid menu does absolutely fuck all. useless.

Okay watching bestie play the Eternal Strands demo. I think it's time to finally bring my Twitter playthrough thread tradition over here 😤🫶🏾 First Bluesky playthrough thread let's goooooo

I like being an uncle for the holidays because: Mom and dad are responsible, and will discipline you. Grandpa and Grandma are indulgent, and will coddle you. But the uncle... the uncle is unpredictable. The niece and nephew cannot know what the uncle will do, because the soul of the uncle is CHAOS

Jesus, can you hear me? Good, the comms are working. Now, you're gonna need to run if you want to evade those Roman soldiers. Hold down A to sprint. Go ahead and try it. ... Good work! You just might be the savior yet. Now pick up that AR-15 and let's do some target practice.

Couple days into break and I think I'm about 60% of the way on my "it's okay, you can just vibe" meter Not bad! Hopefully just need one day more to charge up to my max 90% 🙂‍↕️🔋 100% guilt-free relaxation remains a dream both my therapist and I must continue to aspire towards 😤👍🏾

Having now spent a year as a producer at a studio, I'd say this is my best depiction of what game development looks like

Task difficulty tier list of game development

I hate that when AI is wrong people are like "But isn't it amazing that it thinks it's right?" but when I fuck up my taxes it's "a crime." Hypocrisy much?

It’s time for some nice sweaters [oc]

Lol I can't watch the Avengers Doomsday thing cause it just feels so hollow now? Hearing they're bringing back Steve + Thor on top of RDJ Doom is WILD to me Anywhere here's a strong MCU moment that ironically gets overlooked, from Falcon + Winter Soldier Isaiah Bradley, the first Captain America

Love it when the people on wanted posters in games are very obviously the developers. This is what gen AI will take from us.

Animators and artists and voice actors are so cool man 🥹 Y'all out here makin pictures that hurt my feelings. Got me in my emotions about some lines and colours 😭 Beautiful perfect excellent I love stories and art and the folks that make them 💕

60 minutes CECOT segment. Recorded through my browser. HD quality. Not phone. Spread it around. If you're press, it's yours. Go nuts. It's streaming on a Canadian website, but there is no telling for how long. www.filemail.com/d/wkcdttnacp...

I highly recommend watching this segment, not just because the CBS News execs and the White House didn’t want you to, but because these men were tortured and they deserved to have their voices heard.

Modern times Mari Lwyd is disappointed that nobody wants to follow traditions and rhyme with her anymore, so she has to go to the store and buy everything herself

This is like if the leopards ran on a platform that your face type specifically is the kind they'd like to eat, and also you were at those meetings

Pirate the series. Make your own physical media. That's the only answer when this happens and they haven't put it out any other way.

“The last-minute christmas rush at the bookshop.” - my latest cartoon for @theguardian.com books

Very proud of @indiegameawards.gg for standing by their values + regulations against GenAI. It's a tough call to make A hard rule that you actually enforce is the point, rather than letting exceptions creep in until normalized. Consequences are part of drawing the line Congrats to the new winners!

Oh to be knitting in my quaint little town on a Saturday, not a care in the world... 🪦🌾

Trying to plug GenAI into a concept art phase feels very "we microwaved some frozen pasta so our chefs can visualize how to make fettucine alfredo" Like brother they're a CHEF. It's actually crazy you didn't just say what you wanted and let them do their job They know what fettucine alfredo is

That… seems pretty worth paying attention to.

I like that the main villain of Mighty Nein is just a guy named Trent

that’s him officer. that’s the guy who loves snow too much

This exactly

Indie Game Awards are HERE Y'ALL!!! 🎮🧡

I hate "it's not going anywhere" and "it's here to stay" inevitability language It's not brave or bold to latch onto something you've been convinced is powerful, it's cowardly & pathetic Things don't just happen to you. Surrendering your agency to avoid the fight at all is spineless, not wise

Researching my Heimdall cosplay 12 years ago had me learning about the anatomy of greatswords + bladed weapons, the difference between celtic & norse knotwork - I even found images from the original forge and bladesmith. Showed him my work years later GenAI is a blight on curiosity & connection

The thing thats so insidious about using AI this way is that one of the main ways artists get hired are studios looking for art references and they find us and reach out. This is removing a major avenue to get work if they can just generate nameless derivations of our ideas.

You don't have to go down swingin for Harry Potter. You can simply become obsessed with something else There are so many cool things to be obsessed about, you may never run out in your lifetime. Ask people for recs, I dunno A key to happiness is like... loving 3-5 creative works every few years

we can kill them all if we just work together and ✨believe💫

Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.

If there's anything AI has done for me this year, it's awakened a hunger for person-to-person connection. Hanging out with a baby, going to see live theatre, eating food someone made, appreciating art from 200 years ago, from 800 years ago, from 10,000 years ago... Human creation is so wonderful.

The Internet was never perfect but it used to be usable, functional. I know how we got here and I want the old Internet back. I want forums back. I want personal sites. I want stuff not written by a machine. I just want shit to work again.

My Sunday Take is you don't need to find a new term for indie games If anything, maybe call the massive corpo big budget stuff some equivalent of "blockbuster". Or like... "shareholder title" or something. Put THEM in a weird little categorical corner of "what even are you" instead 🤭

I love paying human artists and I hate gen AI 🩵 I'm not here to fight about whether or not AI is ethical (I've made my decision and I doubt I'm gonna change yours.) I'm just here to talk about what I and many other artists have been dealing with as we adjust to a new media landscape.
