feels like Ive been waiting 15 years for this funko single-handedly seems to have ruined the floor real estate in every hobby, comic book, videogame store. I travel anywhere in the world, visit a comic shop or used game store, and 1/3rd of the floor is these fucking useless, dead-eyed funkos

that’s what I’ve been saaaayying maaan

I've spent about a year trying to cultivate my #BlueSky feed into a garden of inspiration and artwork. My feed is still full of uncensored sex videos. I don't think the show me less button does anything.

Heads up. Linkedin are about to use everything they have on you to train their LLMs. You can opt out of Microsoft using your private data for AI training here: www.linkedin.com/help/linkedi...

Redrew and coloured my upscale of Tiny Tiger from the cancelled Crash Bandicoot 5 game. A few days later the Netflix series was announced. #CrashBandicoot #Art

I can see the Latino community outcry to defend Trumps government...

The Whitehouse is essentially stating all #Democrats are not #American #shutdown

Remember, Human creativity is obsolete. Creative thoughts and works now require a subscription. #AI

Spent an evening watching The Addams Family and drew this in Procreate. #Disney #Oswald #Procreate

Budapest Memorandum on Security Assurances (1994) was signed by: United States United Kingdom Russia Supported by: France China What use is another defence pact going to be when the last one was violated? #ukraine #russia #war #putin #standwithukraine www.bbc.com/news/live/c2...

Washington D.C. getting the Pyongyang social makeover I see. It's already awful for the massive amount of homeless, without national guard soldiers being deployed to remove them to no-one knows where.

I was really hoping the practice of "hosting" a hashtag in order to shamelessly promote yourself would stay and die on Twitter. We already have hashtag hosting, it's called BlueSky!! It's so obvious and disingenuous.

Ah, gamedev Reddit

If you just really want to hear me explain why so many publishers are just utterly useless now, here's a talk for you.

YouTube just can't stop recommending videos about horrific air crashes to me, despite the fact I tell it "Not interested" and "Don't recommend" every, single, time.

As a severely overworked teacher I resorted to using Chatgpt just to try and get my schedule done in the miniscule amount of time I get a month. It couldn't even do that right! I asked it to explain itself and I am BAFFLED that big tech think this can replace humans. #AI #Chatgpt

Great work by PC Gamer showing MasterCard shares much responsibility for what happened to Steam www.pcgamer.com/games/master...

I had an idea for a PS2 aesthetic short experience game. Quickly sketched out a character. I want to replicate this (or something like it) in lowpoly 3D soon. #art #gameart

I. love. designing. game logos. Capturing the soul of a thing, and keeping it captive within a small picture with some type. I just love the problem solving and the beauty of it.

Can I just say how fucking ridiculous it is that queer and nsfw art is more heavily regulated than the fucking plagiarism machine destroying our planet that is genAI

Posts should lead with this information. It's always buried deep in a thread or article, when it should be the damn headline. Collective Shout convinced the payment processors. Itch cannot do anything against something as massive as that other than comply given what we know.

It's been 8 years since I last had a vacation. I'm getting sick of constantly having to work just to exist.

Once upon a time I attempted to make a total conversion mod for Cities: Skylines Attempted. I have some nice low-poly models out of it though. #Oddworld

New #GameDev with a new game to share? This sounds like it could be ideal.

A lot of very bad, ignorant, misinformed and intentional misinformation around the situation with itchy.io today in such a short space if time. An entire strata of YouTube will at least shut up about Pirate for five minutes.

I feel this sums up social media as someone is is socially inept online as well as in meat space.

Tired of manually matching collision to a mesh in #GodotEngine? Or constantly creating new nodes with the built-in collision generation feature? I made an addon that automatically syncs collision with meshes, with lots of neat features. Grab it here: github.com/CozyCubeGame... #gamedev #indiedev

A friend of mine who has to use MidJourney AI for work let me have a play around with it. It's fucking useless. Frustrating and completely incapable of being consistent. If this is the future of games then shit is fucked.

Urg people don't seem to get that living with #chronic pain means the pain is only managed and doesn't turn off for convenience.

Installing Half Life, I seem to replay this at least once every year. This time I'm going to think more like a designer. Got a notepad and everything!

I should be stressed as hell that I'm going to be extremely late to work on an important event day, but I feel so zen this morning. Sitting on an empty bus writing design notes for my dream FPS game.

Haven't done a #gamejam for years, giving #GMTK #GMTKJam a go this year to blow away the cobwebs 🕸️

Made a low poly head as a meditative exercise. It's 90 polygons, could go lower but I like the definition it has. #PS1 #lowpoly #PSX

DOGWALK, Blender Studio’s open project made with @blender.org and @godotengine.org, has been released! Play the game for free on Steam and Itch.io and access production assets, documentation and the source of the game by signing up on studio.blender.org #b3d.

Anyone else tried to find game dev or art related #tutorials on #Youtube and been met with a never ending stream of "Shorts" that have barely a tangential connection to what you're looking for? I waste so much time scrolling through crap now that I am about to give up in frustration.

I was once chased off a beach by a Sherman tank. I ran the cheapest, legal, guest house in Osaka for a year. I once made a clown that gave a Microsoft executive nightmares and had to be changed in the game level. Drank all the rum in Edinburgh Castle*.

Imagine thinking your kids futures are secure and then ✨poof✨ I can't imagine what that must be like. And I bet #xbox and #Microsoft execs will be getting record bonuses this year.

As GDC talk applications have opened, I want to politely remind you that GDC remains one of the most inaccessible, unfairly expensive, and dangerous for-profit game industry events out there - and that offering your labour for free to it just adds value that pressures people into going needlessly.

Amazing to see the history of Artillery games goes back so far.

Yesterday I got through an entire doctors appointment without resorting to translation software. Today I'm utterly stumped at the pharmacy.

Literally all the tutorial channels I follow on YouTube for #gameart or #gamedev now mostly do purely AI generated stuff. Considering these channels may be the first encounter a fledgling artist has, it's genuinely saddening to think their first lesson will be: "Use AI".

Do I (or do you?) know anybody who does commissioned digital art, is available, and can (with urgency) create an incredible, soft, ephemeral magical water painting-style piece? While I know tons of incredible game artists I sadly never paid too much attention to their waterpainterly work.

#IndieDev socials posting conundrum: Trickle of the small tasks I get done each evening. or Holding off and doing a single post a month. The first may be too spammy and show Iittle progress. The second may be too infrequent to get noticed in the first place.

NEW: EA CEO Andrew Wilson was paid $30.5 million in cash and stock this past year, up about $5m from a year ago Since the U.S. requires companies to compare CEO pay to employee pay, I made an EA pay chart To make it work, I had to make it VERY TALL Take a look: www.gamefile.news/p/ea-ceo-and...

There's so many of these #gamedev videos 🤢🫣 I wish YouTube had a nice big Block button 🛑 I just wanted to learn about cameras in #godot

It's only July and we're going to hit 35°C. I would like to Mulligan the weather. 🫠 ☀️

UNSIGHTED is 60% off on Steam Summer Sale! Almost at 1.6k reviews! (5 remaining 😭) Purchasing UNSIGHTED also helps fund our next game, ABYSS X ZERO! (For those asking abt crowdfunding: we're fully funding AXZ through UNSIGHTED’s sales, so this is the best way to support us!) #gamedev #indiegame

Tried a vintage silhouette recognition poster using the tank. #Gameart #Indiegame
