i think NIN was really onto something with Year Zero

Digital asbestos.

my immune system is real bad these days x_x

relevanter and relevanter thinkin today about the way the ai freaks used to (maybe still do) talk disingenously about "gatekeeping". we aren't keeping enough gates anymore, really. anti-ai is gatekeeping in the way that not letting a person drive without a license is gatekeeping

this is gonna be a weird year i think

my medieval social deduction game, Amongst Us

most pleasing when your video game's level editor becomes full of meaningful debug shit imo (@sleightofhand.game)

the perpetual cycle of applying for a job, being "considered", and then not getting so much as an interview anyway

i knew RAM prices were bad but jesus christ i didn't realise it was like "6x more expensive than a year ago" bad

machine girl was so fucking good live

goin to see Machine Girl tonight!

this TF2 mod I worked on like a decade ago is out today -- classic TF2 gameplay with some extra stuff to shake it up a bit, tons of QoL stuff, lots of fun. check it out! store.steampowered.com/app/3545060/...

still looking btw!

still looking for level design work! I can work in Unreal, Unity, and probably whatever in-house engine you'll throw at me. I have worked on DLC for Sniper Elite 5, various community mod projects, and custom maps for TF2 and Half-Life 2. portfolio ➡️ iibo.games

the move back to working in-office after everywhere was all remote during the height of COVID sucks, especially in games where studios are few & far between. it makes looking for work so difficult because everywhere wants you to relocate to suit them. it's not something everybody can or wants to do

these models so perfectly encapsulate what sucks so much about generative AI to most people after years of work and billions of dollars, this thing can kind of generate a knock off of a thing we've had for almost a decade what it can't do is create something that feels as new as BotW did in 2017

wuh oh

Sourceops is a really good blender plugin

Some days I get very sad thinking about how many workflow advancements in level editors were lost by way of teams just offloading level design to environment artists and standard 3D packages.

source engine's self-shadowed bump maps are really interesting and i'm both wondering why it never took off but also not surprised that it didn't

when I started working on @openfortress.fun again last year I made a new folder for it in my modelling directory. however, in my infinite wisdom I put this new folder inside the 2025 folder. it is now 2026.

domestic terrorism is when you do the exact thing the 2nd amendment is there for

“Everyone should be allowed to carry a gun for their safety but the government can murder you in the street if you have a gun” is an incredible endpoint for the conservative moment

Video games do not cause violence. But we as an industry are clearly not ready to have a conversation about how we've normalized a military fantasy

it's gonna be crazy when they have to edit the united states article on wikipedia from "is" to "was"

cookin up some collab work with @iibo.games !! #TF2 #TeamFortress2

irreversibly broken games industry theory

In today's episode of 'everyone THINKS they can be a game designer'.

The second your post escapes from the direct group of followers you get direct access to the most insane people you could ever imagine.

woke is what i become every morning after sleeping for 6 to 8 hours

i love doing game dev. can you tell

folks are always blaming UE5 for how a lot of AAA games look nowadays but i think that "unreal engine look" is merely a symptom of a larger issue in games

applied for one (1) job today hopefully more spring up soon

applying for a new job listing with the same viciousness one would consume a glass of water after days without drinking

Residents of London in the Doctor Who universe every six months:

of all the things going around today i do keep coming back to this one, in the sense of: how must one live their life such that everyone involved in an official my little pony comic agrees there's adequate gas in a joke at your expense that's not even a silly pun but just about how you're an asshole

i am the mipmap enforcer. if you don't import your textures with mipmap generation enabled you can expect a home visit sometime soon.

can somebody explain to me why american conservatives are obsessed with their gun rights? i always hear the bullshit reason of "oh it's so we can fight against a tyrannical government" but we all know that's not happening

Keep hearing devs say that they only use ai for "pre-concept art" There is no pre-concept art. There is concept art. That's where the idea starts. With the concept. You're using ai for concept art.

all i want for christmas is 64 gigabytes of ram
