If our reality was a TV show it’d be hilarious.

I’m in the middle of drawing my next long comic and I think it’s my favorite work ive made so far

we laid off the people who develop the games, we laid off the journalists who cover the games, everyone is freelance and there’s no freelance budget. It’s probably fine though

If the team that made a game gets immediately laid off it's perfectly legal to pirate it Look I don't make game law but I do fancy myself something of an expert on this so you can definitely steal the pirate game whose devs got laid off and they didn't even let em have a real launch party its legal

oh no it finally came for me

I have an uncanny ability to be in a place/account before stuff gets deleted online. I have developed a reflex of just screen shoting/downloading things,because I always find myself days if not hours from online hostility or an accusation thread "Post not available" "private account"

If only Sharma could read this... This has the voice, attitude and empathy of someone who's been there and i respect it. Probably the best article I've read regarding Xbox's layoffs.

"You just sent 1600 people into one of the worst job markets in history for the industry, and you’re talking about an install base of a billion, are you fucking high?"

I swear, the number of Xbox fans bending over backwards trying to justify this by blaming past management or saying it was the studio's fault for being shut down is astronomically stupid. I'm beyond giving Microsoft the benefit of the doubt at this point. #Blutoid

A comment I left on a @mintblitz.bsky.social video titled "Halo Fans Have Wanted This for Years - The Great Xbox Reset"

I wish a journalist would ask Asha these two questions, plain and clearly: 1. Why should anyone buy an Xbox? 2. Why should anyone want to work for Xbox?

"These are delusional, careless, and tedious people who will never suffer consequences like these, attempting to massage a bad message so they can get patted on the back for it" aftermath.site/microsoft-xbox...

It is precisely these outcomes, which were obvious from the beginning, that so many were opposed to Microsoft buying Zenimax, and Blizzard. Yet people still cheered on the biggest anticompetitive merger in the games industry.

i know. different departments. Still, absolutely insane to me Microsoft has pumped 200 billion dollars into an algorithm that shits broken data and loses money everytime it is used, but looks at 52 artists and developers with decades of experience and thinks "i see no value here"

i hate that all discussions of every hobby online is inundated with these fucking losers man what do you mean people are celebrating microsoft shutting down studios because "devs are woke" they so obviously just don't like any fucking games

This is relevant once again and this is in regard to the recent Microsoft layoffs

once again, some random copyright claims on my own songs on youtube...very bold of them to do it to the person whose name is on the cover lol...

another far side blender recreation! gary larson is my GOAT

One way you can show Microsoft your concern is here through the XBOX Player Voice feedback platform: feedbackportal.microsoft.com/feedback/ide...

Understandable reaction

Faithful devotion

What really makes me mad is that Microsoft is not laying off people because they don't have money to pay them or even because they're seeing smaller profits, they're not! They're doing this because the shareholders demand infinite growth. This whole thing is ridiculous and makes no sense.

Can you imagine if Disney wanted to connect to billions of comic-fiction moviegoers, and their first plan were to gut Marvel Studios? People would riot. We should riot.

It's hot outside. Remember to water your werewolves

well, another year breezed by and it's my birthday again; i didn't know what to draw but i've been reading a bunch of music manga recently and it's been a while since i've drawn my own WoL so here! hoping for an even better year ahead!! 🖤✨ // #FFXIV #FF14

Finger web studies, learning from the Taco anatomy books #anatomy #animation

Passing this most excellent image on

Generational pull

Finally got the ocean animating in the game and I can't stop watching it loop 🌊 #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #godot #godotengine #pixelart #cozygames

I wonder how much knowledge we don't have in comments because people want to skip the work of arguing the proper use of "their" and "there". While I get Grammer correction, it's soul crushing to write a detailed response and the proceeding comments are just about Grammer and not what you addressed.

quick tipp for artists, always make sure to use the body language of a character to convey a story/emotion, they make a wild difference in making the characters appear alive! Use it to your advantage <3

Fuck Microsoft, fuck Adobe, and fuck all the other companies that changed their software business models from “one-time purchase” to subscription-based! Bill Gates and John Adobe (idk who runs that), you will burn in Hell with Mitch McConnell!!!

SUPER MARIO 2026 JUST DROPPED!

Just a warning, if my +18 Twitter account (JP_Lewd) sends you a DM, don't answer it, that's the hacker. I'm recovering my accounts already, thankfully. Hope it doesn't take too long to take that account back as well. Be careful, people.

On my way, Clacton.

My phone rang at 3:45AM. My friend was calling to let me know that she was packing to go to the hospital. She'd been notified that, after 3 years of dialysis, they have a kidney for her. I assume she's in surgery by now. I'm waiting to hear from her daughter.

I don’t understand how people can run for office knowing they have insane baggage and/or crimes. Like I spent the entire campaign expecting AIPAC to somehow dig up my middle school livejournal fanfic account. I prepared my family for it. I’m still amazed it didn’t happen.

Huh.

I know we live in a clown timeline but Ashton Kutcher being a survialance merchant trying to back door a survialance system under the guise of child saftey never stops being uniquely irritating. With chat control back for the 5x+ time I remember he is finagling behind the scenes to get it.

i like these two #deltarune

More than 3,500 deaths are confirmed since the earthquakes in Venezuela, the UN reports that the death toll could reach 10,000. Bellingcat has geolocated footage that appears to show several coffins placed in newly dug trenches. www.bellingcat.com/news/2026/07...

Does anyone else find it a bit tone deaf to be glad Microsoft isn't shutting down any studios but they are gutting them and laying off thousands of people or is that just me

Nabil was the student who got online teaching up and running when Covid shut the school on the third day of my class. I've admired everything he's done since. If you want this to be the sort of world where the pure of heart are rewarded in this life, go support his show on Kickstarter!

THE MEANS OF DESTRUCTION KICKSTARTER IS LIVE NOW!!! SUPPORT LABOR RI-- [squints at notes] ER I MEAN, INDIE ANIMATION!

I keep getting ads for "Airtasker" while listening to behind the bastards, and between this kind of shit and the push for at this point I'm genuinely amazed the tech sector hasn't seen a drastic rise in suicides at this point.
