Last Wednesday the newest bus tunnel in Brisbane was opened to pedestrians only, so @ironicaccount.bsky.social and I went! They even had a band playing Australian songs — we caught an AC/DC song and an orchestral version of the Bluey theme. :) We also grabbed many tasty snacks at the nearby market

Stuck in a scene? Do what the pros do: use brackets. Write what the story beat is: [Our hero gets out of the fight through clever means] Then just keep writing what happens after. Maintaining momentum is key to getting the most words on the page. Meanwhile solutions often present themselves later.

My cousin got the new One Piece #LEGO sets, so last weekend we built the Going Merry together :) Utterly delightful build.

Hi Internet! I'm Drew and THIS IS MY FACE. If this GIF has ever brought you joy in the past, I humbly ask you to consider making a donation to the National MS Society. It would mean a lot to me and to those I know affected by the disease! Donate at blinkingguy.com

if i had a parrot i would put on a video of the smash bros character select screen all day so it would learn to randomly announce SAMUS

Just took this one in for recycling at the Apple Store. Goodbye, old friend 💙

please visit the link Jeff posted - even if you don't have time to listen to AAC's amazing soundtrack, do yourself a favour and read the track names meanwhile I don't think I get enough credit for designing a new key art just so I could create an alt version with instruments for the OST cover

Some hand sheets I made for the animation team! I looked at how Dana drew hands a lot and coupled it with my own anatomical knowledge of hands. #KnightsOfGuinevere

I'm all bruised and battered from my root canal treatment but oh my god, I'm finally free from the toothache I had for four weeks 🥹 I'm so relieved. I can drink without pain. Just hoping this heals up well so I can also eat on both sides of my mouth again.

Recovering from a root canal so I'm back on my bullshit #LEGO

It's been a while. Glad to be announcing a new game, and happy that it is something experimental and weird: a tiny, tense, turn-based strategy game about merging units into spectacular combinations, and then watching them evaporate thousands of bugs. store.steampowered.com/app/2396130/...

What's a good platform for casual blogging these days? I'm gonna be starting a new adventure soon and I'm considering writing about it as it unfolds. Might end up just writing privately for myself in a journal, or writing short form here on Bluesky, but wanted to know what options are out there.

Alright, feeling a little calmer. Here's hoping for a nicer tomorrow.

I don't post about my private life much these days but the past couple of years have truly been exhausting. I post about the little annoyances, not about the important stuff, because the whole world doesn't need to know. But I just wanted to say... I'm so tired. Same as everyone else, I suppose.

I've been saying this for months, and I see my students (who're dependent on junior level work existing as an 'in' into the field) worry about this exact thing.

Me: My fan is making a very quiet but annoying high pitched whistling noise on lowest setting. Dyson customer rep's notes: Fan makes high whistle sound on lowest setting. Dyson tech, returning my fan after 3 weeks: Fan did not make a loud whistling sound, it's fine. Great game of telephone there.

Finally deactivated Facebook, woo

writing an article about "I was at gamescom and the vibe was everyone wants to make games faster and then everyone secretly confided that the way to do that is with ai and they were already using ai and everyone is already using ai" isn't journalism it's propaganda

Generative art tools

when I saw this yesterday I thought "that's a cool book" then I looked closer at the cover and spotted a pig toy in a box and was like "oh my game is included!" then I clicked through to the store page and saw my name on the list of people interviewed ... look, I'm very tired

Absolutely wild to have my game in this alongside all these incredible games I've played and loved! We'll be getting our own physical copy for sure :)

Emily is an absolute treasure and I can't recommend her enough!

bro this sucks. what i once suspected to be passion might in fact be madness

Deskilling is real. This is the world generative AI peddlers long for, one where people are incompetent without their service. Don't outsource your brain to this shit. You'll regret it.

🥨🎉 NEW GAME RELEASE! 🌭🎈 Cook Serve Forever is now available for PC and consoles! Grab it on Steam, Switch, PS4, PS5 and Xbox! (links in the replies) Thank you so much for all of the support- I can't wait for y'all to play.

when people fool us with our knowledge and consent, that's entertainment, like a stage magician or visual effects in movies or a themepark when people fool us without or knowledge or consent, it's generally at our expense, and we call it a prank, a scam or a grift so which is genAI striving for?

Made myself sad by trying to search for button down shirts for women with bigger busts. Post after post of women saying "I buy a bigger size and get it tailored" or "I've given up on button downs". Have we really not solved this problem? Does anyone here know a brand or cut that's good for this?

Some of you will now argue it was always good, I just know it.

Our feature artist/ref today is on FORESHORTENING ARMS by @ruchikapose! The MID-POINT of the arm ( here marked with WHITE bands) SHIFTS BACK VISUALLY when foreshortening - combined with the OVERLAP caused by the WIDTH of the upper forearm, we see VERY LITTLE of the UPPER ARM!

Round

Maybe the real Ship of Theseus was the Ship of Theseus we made along the way

re: genAI placeholders -good placeholders are blatant enough there's no risk of leaving it in release -using gazillion dollar anti-environment tech to meet the nonexistent problem of throwaway placeholders is like buying tanks to crack peanut shells, it's very not a problem and that's not a solution

We're in the last 48 HOURS of #BigHops Kickstarter!! 👅swing, solve puzzles, lockpick with your tongue 🍏use powerful veggies to grow paths forward ✨free demo is out NOW 🎮coming to Nintendo Switch THIS YEAR We're at 123% funded, but still check it out here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/chr...

the main function of an LLM ai is to produce *plausible human output* someone who tries out chatgpt and comes back saying it's useful is a bit like someone who visits a psychic and comes back saying they're legit it shouldn't be surprising that something intended to trick people can trick people

Untitled Paper RPG was what Adam was working on at Stugan while @wrenegade.bsky.social and I were just starting on Unpacking! I have fond memories of this game

Finally, the one thing I am good at

In the last couple days I've had some very difficult news in my personal life, and frankly wasn't sure if I'd be able to make it to Queensland Games Festival last night and today. I'm so very glad I did, though. Thanks for reminding me how much I love the Queensland games scene. My heart is full.
