I feel like there has to be a kinder way to explain to someone who balks at the idea they could be wrong and not just a matter of mutual agreement, that you dont need to make an assumption about things they do or dont know if they demonstrate their level of understanding to you.

If we let ourselves act like an in group broke it- that there wasnt a problem before, & willfully ignore what was, that is a fast road to fascism & generally antisemetic style narratives that are dangerous and unhelpful. We need to be serious and take this as such and get people to engage and read

This is the 2nd time ill violate my new years resolution; We have to be careful about how we treat the epstien files as a narrative- making it about some cabal instead of a system that constantly does this makes this seem like people corrupted capitalism, when in reality, this is just what it does

look i'm sorry to say but if you don't have marxism i'm afraid you're likely to just descend into ever-deepening psychosis during what's coming in the coming years

"microtransactions in games started by cabal of pedophile elites for the purpose of indoctrinating kids into an economy" Ok. Well, we all knew it was evil somehow but I really didn't expect Epstein to be responsible for why video games are bad now. That's just not what I would've thought.

Doodling with a new pen that has a funny bent tip so you can get really thick or thin lines depending on how you angle it. Highly recommend

Man i really gotta work on my shapes. Ive spent so long trying to focus on a handful of foundations and gest my gestures back that now im realizing how far gesture and shape can take you....

sketching some stuff tonight

MARS :: FUI A lot (most?) game UIs are cleanly rendered on top of the virtual worlds. It's understandable - clarity, usability, accessibility are paramount. But I'd be curious to work on a project that tries to ground its UI by making it visually imperfect, damaged, slightly off.

If you are an artist you should watch "no other choice" by the guy who did old boy. You will resonate with that film in ways you arent ready for.

Hey folks! I'm a concept artist & illustrator with over 10 years of experience. I've worked at 343, Ubisoft, Bungie, Adidas and more. Looking for fulltime work but always open to freelance! www.artstation.com/belgianboolean You can always help me pay bills through my Ko-fi ko-fi.com/belgianboolean

one of my game projects ive had on the back burner for years is a passenger rail Densha de Go! style game where you work as a driver/ conducter but the other staff keep telling you ghost stories and urban legends about the lines you're working while you try and focus on actually doing your job

#goblinweek 2. this will definitely be the most finished goblin drawing for this week since it's doubling as my patreon print for PHYSICAL WORLD subscribers this month.

Sorcerer time.

RIP Michael Parenti, you were a real one. Let us mourn him with a brief clip from the legendary Yellow Parenti speech. He will be missed.

If you spend your life justifying your own cowardice/passivity/complicity to yourself as an expression of wisdom and reason, there might come a time when the wind turns and you risk finding yourself on the losing side, but you've gone too far to back out. This is one way people become conservatives.

You don't need to watch the video but please keep yourself aware and in tune

messing around with some character stuff

as promised, new art tommorow. ive made another resolution; on top of my very busy schedule, making 2 different games, working a full time art job, and studying, i want to try speeding my work up to post more. im going to start with a new one per 2 weeks and move down from there.

Couple of characters for my character selector in the animation I'm slowly chipping away at, honestly I might just keep coming back to this section for the whole project. The fella in the wheelbarrow is called Bruckle, and I love to sneak him into any asset I have to hand over to my colleague,

saw a review of pathologic asking why all 3 games were "exactly the same thing" and i realized that its such a unique experience people generally cant understand it coming from almost any other gaming background. I feel someone who played the doki doki literature club would be the only exception

i know i made a joke about russian sherlock and pathologic just the other day, but seriously i think some of the passive NPCs are modelled after the actors from that

there's a comment in the thread about a swede getting mad at an american lady who "shared his perspective" and I can, with 100% clarity, imagine this lady, how she approached the conversation, how she said "I'm one of the good ones" and I 100% understand why the swede did not give a single shit

More art this week to show i hope, finally. Still doing it, after all this time. Ive rried to be good about stopping the political posts, but as a result i also stopped posting a lot in general- so now i gotta rebuild that to have at least one routine weekly art post and maybe a quick stream

Non-starter

going to tell people this is a clip from the pathologic tv series

Artstation is full of some of the most amazing artists making work i basically never see made in a production setting. Genuinely it has me thinking a lot of the stuff there is more marketting art that something during dev. Maybe its just that large timeliens for preproduction are fairly rare?

Libre model GR

Trade lane marauder making a breakout attempt from lowberth

Do i have any 3d modellers and animators, specifically specializing in first person shooters who follow me available for small gigs? If so dm me or reply here so i can reach out

I’m tired

Lol some i see the people simping for ai are still trying to add people to lists that look like other things in order to vindictively get people to block or mute you. Its just another reason lists can be trusted. Starter packs do mostly remain great though

Grim ritual. Oils, 16x20, sold

Anyway you dont need any of those fancy survival mechanics, just kick a trashcan, do a quick shot of morphine to come down from the rush of the trash can, and then become so suicially depressed all the mirrors you broke get lost on your way to understanding inaction

I dont think everything needs to be challenging, but i do think some things should always be. To be challenged is something that is to be enjoyed in a specific and unique way- its to ask yourself what you need in order to enjoy it. Sometimes something about ourselves has to change to learn how.

A quick shout-out for the recently-retitled SeverLink (formerly Project Kvasir), a very promising looking PS2/PSP-styled stealth game in the works. It really does look like a game from that era running through emulation. 'Looks like a PS2 game' [Positive] energy in a big way.

Stop trying to push AI and other bullshit into this site. Give us basic features like private accounts and muting reposts by accounts you follow! This site is enshittifying before even becoming functional.

the best quote in pathologic 3 for me so far: "the biggest lie in chess was convincing the pawns they could become queens"

everything is fine

it's actually a gun, but I guess you can make fun of them, too.

Frustration is the enemy. Seperate any notion about needing to do it good or right, especially on the first few tries, from any attachment you have. Redo it all from scratch as many times as it takes, as if it were nothing. Redraw it. Repaint it. Externalize it as a series of things you can do.

Do not deprive yourself of sleep. Make sure to eat actual meals. Separate your self-worth from your output. Be realistic about what you can actually accomplish within a window of time. Plan days / time off as part of your work schedule, they are not optional!!!

Pathologic 3 is such a crazy entry in the series. It may be my favorite of the 3. I like a lot of elements about two and how it made you interact with its world, but having experienced that its gives me so much pleasure to see another take from this other angle that works as well

found some games to try in russian on stream, i want you, person reading, to tell me which of these two you want to see more: atomic heart or crying suns

Entering 2026, with a new name announcement coming soon! #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev #stealth #lowpoly

so to speak more russian more often, i want to start streaming weekly-i tried a few games in russian, but all were too complex. I would appreciate a reccomendation for a game with simple russian. Мне нужна игра с простым русским языком, чтобы стримить и пытаться изучать его для вашего развлечения.

Deleting political posts to keep up with new year resolution. Compulsively posting stuff out of frustration and the foolish hope anyone who is on the fence would be swayed

Finished re reading goodnight punpun. I remember it being uncomfortable and depressing but kind of beautiful but as i read it today it comes accross closer to some kind of extreme and deep horror mixed with slice of life. Im kind of in awe of it

Human artists get one peice to convince folks to follow ya. Heres a classic

Quake Brutalist Jam 3 is breathtakingly gorgeous and cleverly constructed. Incredible work by the team and in my opinion - worthy of joining the modding pantheon with Arcane Dimensions And it's free, you can go play a standalone version, even if you don't own Quake: www.slipseer.com/index.php?re...
