Seymour Guado Awarded Blitzball Peace Prize hard-drive.net/seymour-guad...

Been thinking on the use of GenAi for mood boards. Ethics and legal risks aside, I truly believe using GenAi as references deprives one of many pivotal things. Here’s a blurb on what I mean:

Unfortunately I learn yet again that when I'm bored and my mellow is harshed, the solution is to just Log Off and Paint Something 🎨

As an environment artist, my 2c for using AI in concepts is that it doesn't actually help you 1. make informed decisions on how a scene works, 2. doesn't help you communicate to your team as to why you made a decision, and 3. doesn't tell you where it's pulling from to use as further reference.

Ripping the plumbing out of my house and replacing it with a series of humidifiers and dehumidifiers to effectively teleport water around for House 2.0

With the Game Awards happening later this week, here is my opinion on any art/media-based awards, but specifically for games:

"Why are you doing it like this and what is it intended to achieve" is one of the most important unspoken questions in pretty much all creative work and the moment you're making choices on purpose the quality of the result improves enormously

Got almost all of Christmas shopping done, made stew, made bread FOR the stew. Good Sunday 😌

What options are out there for paid ad-free podcast listening platforms? If one were to want to leave Spotify....

You know it's winter when you wrap up your work day at 5pm and see a full moon outside 🌕

Replying to every "how much is this worth?" In r/CoinCollecting with the literal value of the coin until I'm banned

Listening to A Game Dev Podcast that interviewed Eastshade's @dannyweinbaum.bsky.social that touches on the hate of free camera. As an envi artist coming from theatre tech and set construction, I fully agree 😂 Let *me* decide what players look at, dammit - I know all the best angles 😂😂

Fifty patterns you can make with a standard brick www.architekwiki.com/wiki/masonry...

The Northern Lights have been so close to the equator lately that they've renamed them to just "The Lights"

I know this won't happen, but news orgs should follow up with everyone who made these statements and then publish the results showing how much bullshit they were actually talking. Or maybe news orgs should just stop publishing this trash when it's obvious these people are just spewing nonsense.

Well, Well, Well, Not So Easy To Find A Mayor That Doesn’t Suck Sh- wait what? Really? Thank god

How is it already November??? It feels like only a few months ago is was summer wtf

Hey bookbinders, we've all heard the "just ask librarians for trashed book covers to use for card stock" and I had my doubts thinking it was a weird question to ask. But I finally asked, they brought out ten books and said "help me break these" then said to come back if I need more 😎

My opinion if you're using AI to write your emails I think you're just shit at writing emails and not interested in learning how to collaborate. It's not even a case of "I don't care to learn bland office job" this is regular collaboration comms and you will not find a job that doesnt use that skill

"have a good day, you're going to be sore 😁" the soft-speaking nurse says after I just got a COVID, flu, and B12 shots

Imagine how many Jutsu hand seals a caterpillar could do at the same time

This Saturday, you're all invited to my birthday party! I'm going to be live October 25th, noon to midnight eastern, playing Deep Rock Galactic to raise money for Direct Relief! Come see me, Matt, and some awesome guests hang out all day! Rock and Stone! For Charity! Twitch.tv/extracredits

I need to get back into book binding I really miss it but also making covers is haaaard

The voting age should be like, 12. And politicians should be forced to retire at 70-75. The reason: people who will not be alive to see the long lasting impacts of their decisions on others should not be in positions to make them.

No kings but short kings feel good about yourself, man 😌❤️

No kings includes Ulfric Stormcloak, the true king of Skyrim

Remember folks. The original bluesky ethos by us bluesky elders (apparently I count?) is block and move on. Don't quote dunk, don't pick fights. Block, and move on. This is what made this site unpalatable to the right early on, and we can continue to make it unpalatable to them.

I'm the way I am because as a kid I ate the wood veneer on an atari 2600. Not even all at once just every so often

It's been a great day today. A real 10/10

It's #solorpgday, so all my games are 75% off for the next 25 hours. Enjoy! itch.io/s/161173/sol...

Every time I play Wordle I'm surprised at how many five letter words DONT exist

Jesus is going to come down tomorrow Qudmaxxing on his steamdeck all Live and Drink and people will reject his message and then get stun locked by His freezing ray for a few turns hoooly fuck

Please be patient with environment artists, we have to figure out how to model so many different kinds of crates and barrels

I haven't seen a Disney movie in years but I read @clarkesworldmagazine.com monthly (and also they have a podcast that's fantastic).

Worried that I'll pick up a boomerang and never be able to get rid of it 😭

I had to make a fake manga book (Cover/Back, empty pages to "flip through" asset for work and I'm reminded that people really want to turn to AI for this??? This IS the fun part!!! AI can't have fun and doesn't care!!

Of course video games make people violent. All the video games being played during the middle ages and through both world wars is why it was so violent during those times. Henry the VIII was in the top 10 in Valorant

Borderlands 4 sponsored Printables and put up free 3D print files designed/prepped for cosplay, and I think that's a really cool thing that more studios should do

Not to brag about Canadian Health Care, but last Friday I had a blood test, Tuesday I went to my specialist who told me I needed B12 shots, yesterday my family doc office called me to set up an appointment for the shot for today, and today I got the shot. Paid $4 for parking.

Letting the Etsy Witches use your backyard for their spellcasting and rituals is now praxis

Trying to devise a way to make flags double mast

of course I'm hoisting myself on my own petard. I'm not going to use someone else's that's gross

Carrot day! We really achieved our goal of having the most colourful produce 😎

anyone else having a real tough time with this boss in silksong???

Has anyone checked to see if RFK Jr is actually a horseshoe crab and he's tired of humans using their blood for LAL tests for vaccine safety? That's got to be more possible than whatever else is going on

Surely this has been done already

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/...
