this stream was a ton of fun! Elianora had fantastic words of support, and both players & devs were in chat to share their experiences. now folks have these sweet mods to show their support when streaming, capturing, and snapping. public support is essential to this fight. thank you, Eli!

🔴[LIVE NOW] STREAMING TO SHOW SUPPORT AND LOVE TO GAME DEVS! Come hang out while we make some cool stuff for Skyrim and Fallout! <3

SHE DID IT get that IV bag of coffee ready for your new job as an oracle

Streaming tomorrow to show support and solidarity to the devs laid off and still under the threat of being let go. I'll be making equipment and banners in Skyrim and Fallout 4 for players to wear to show their love! Come hangout at 11 AM EST www.twitch.tv/therealelian... www.youtube.com/@Elianora

i have been laid off by XBOX, as confirmed by losing access to several systems. i was a Senior UX Designer at Bethesda.net for eight and a half years. i'm most proud of our Verified Creators system that helps modders earn income from their creativity and dedication. i hope it lives on.

please vote for this, and share it with your friends and gaming communities. Player Voice has some weight in XBOX and the support of the public can help us win better severance for those laid off, and better protections for those who remain. all you need is an XB or MS account.

i overslept and don't know if i have a job. happy Monday?

remembering that a few famous skaters got mad about Lupe Fiasco's "Kick, Push" because he wasn't a lifelong skater, like Johnny Cash couldn't record "Bull Rider" without spending years on the rodeo circuit

show me a cool physical game the boxes for Spectre (1991) were so damn cool, and looked totally appropriate for battling pyramidal enemies in a vast vector space photo from this in-depth article on the packaging designer, Hock Wah Yeo: obscuritory.com/essay/incred...

everyone's standing around Schrödinger's Layoff Note; we both do and don't have jobs until someone opens it. in limbo, dangling swords wavering in the breeze, coming up with metaphors.

the kids get wonderful lessons in cooperation and interior design, but their language skills are atrocious

Juneteenth at Austin's Rosewood Park

some nice 120 photos from Costa Mesa, including a pretty dang good portrait of @jesawyer.bsky.social i mistakenly shot this Portra 400 at 100, so had it developed -1 to meed it in the middle. the overexposure is great in sun, but colors veer off indoors. Pentax 645NII + Portra 400 #photography

a glorious Bronco from last night (anyone you know, @artofcoop.bsky.social?)

we'll see how the 6x4.5 Portra 800 shots worked out. in the meantime, here's offhand with the Sony A7 IV and 45mm. i love the deep tint of the atmosphere: purple buildings' majesty. #photography

i gotta figure out how to draw this like the Joker

since we're talkin' wagons tonight, just today i saw this clean Benz while grabbing ramen in Costa Mesa. (and in such brothlust i didn't notice the front shot was blurry. my shame is boundless.)

a solid list that elicited a number of hoots and grunts the lack of the E34 M5 Touring is glaring, but the rest of the list is pretty solid. @jesawyer.bsky.social

there's a Santokua Ramen across the street from the hotel and you bet your everlovin' soul i made sure to go there before flying home

around Hyde Park with the Austin Photowalkers and a Pentax 645NII i gave Phoenix II a second chance and kinda like it - after exposing at 100 and lots of digitizer white balancing tweaks. #photography

i'm currently on a flight, but i'm just going to assume every game i've ever wanted just got announced

lol this thing came with a 150-300mm with shade and a 2X converter, so let's see how ridiculous it can get (pretty ridiculous)

my serious answer is Henry Mancini's "Lujon", because it starts with an easy rhythm, carries a very identifiable melody throughout, and features instruments of different frequencies and timbres the second song would be a vocal chorus, maybe something by Ladysmith Black Mambazo

in the highly-technical photographer's lexicon this type of camera is known as "biggun'chonker" shooting it sounds like a really nice staple gun. it's promising from this test roll, but i need to learn the metering as several shots were underexposed. Pentax 645NII + FF UltraPan 400 #photography

i desperately want to stage a serious funeral photo shoot here: mourners in suits & dresses, an old woman dabbing tears, a kneeling young man, a little girl at a podium reading a poem...

cooked with the wisdom of a dozen lifetimes

i was excited to share a post of the cool cars i'd unlocked in Forza Horizon 6, except - unlike every other game i've played - their photo mode requires extra steps and i never actually saved any of them. feels bad! really bad!

Kodak ProImage 100: i like the film vibrant in bright light, creamy when subdued, a friendly latitude, and not terribly hard to balance. Pentax KX #photography

hitting that pure stuff just to feel something

i'm Almost Sure. hmm, actually i'm Very Probable. no, wait, i'm Certain, Practically Certain. probably. i love to hang out with user researcher friends and rip on bad surveys - and this one was BAD. this ridiculous page was about *45 minutes* in!

spectral Santa Fe: strange and marvelous results from a $20 plastic camera and film not meant for photos. x-rays don't deflect easily, so x-ray film has no anti-halation layer to prevent scattering. expose it to light, though, and it glows from the scatter. Debonair + FPP X-Ray 120 #photography
