I am slowly adding to my Women in Games Ambassador list! Check it out and let me know if you or others you know are WIGJ Ambassadors <3 go.bsky.app/zWRCDF

there are only 3 kinds of game producers. i will not explain

Question for recruiters: Would a message template for job listings shared on discord discourage you from sharing your listing? Would it be too much effort, or would it be simply ignored? What would encourage you to add additional information that may not already be in your post? (e.g. location)

Again, my utmost respect for @polygon.com for reporting on Dreams on a Pillow when so many sites and influencers that claim to stand for inclusivity and diversity and equality have ducked speaking about the genocide, about Palestine, and about Palestinian stories. www.polygon.com/gaming/50447...

Btw artists if you want to help combat AI slop sneaking into your research I am begging you to STOP relying on Pinterest for reference gathering. Familiarise yourself with the free online collections of museums of which there are several and how to search them effectively

CONTEXT: I wrote/drew this in 2020. Lol. Happy New Year!

I'm sobbing he is so beautiful

For my musician friends who don’t want their music stolen for genAI www.knoxnews.com/story/news/e...

new definition of everyone just dropped

Humble Games is dead, and Humble Bundle has become a soulless husk. Cancel your subs, don't renew

This is obviously a scam email but every time I get these I laugh my ass off. You love the colors in my portfolio? (My incredibly out of date portfolio)

There are people that seem to think that sharing an org chart is enough to explain how an entire team is supposed to work together, make decisions, and know where to go. These people are wrong.

oh so EA won't take a chance on beloved franchise but will take a chance on whatever the hell this is 🙃

Well happy holidays to me...my unemployment benefits ran out 😓🤡

📢 ISO OF DISABLED GAME DEVELOPERS 📢 ♿️🎮 I’m making a disabled game devs starter pack! 🗣️ Neurodivergent &/or physically disabled game devs reply below with games you’ve worked on & what you do 🔁 RTs Appreciated! 🔁 #disabilitysky #disabled #disability #neurodivergent #indiedev #gamedev #a11y

Take a moment this season to credit things around you to artists! Love the design of your fridge? ✨ Artist ✨ I'm constantly forgetting that not everyone realizes art is more than a painter in a studio. So many people don't realize how immersed they are in the products of art and design!

My holiday gamer buyer guide recommendation is just this

"Meshtron generates meshes of detailed, complex 3D objects at unprecedented levels of resolution and fidelity, closely resembling those created by professional artists." no it doesn't

Retweet to save an artist's life

Motivation of the day: It's still progress if you don't finish and it's still progress if you don't succeed. Stopping after 3 steps up a stairwell is still making your way there. It's okay to take a break; it's okay to only have a bit in you at a time; it's okay to live at your own pace.

Exactly what I'm talking about! How many of the games getting nominated & awarded tonight still have the teams that made them? How many of those studios have lost many of their amazing devs, or closed down entirely? This shouldn't be normal

how it started… #gamedev #substancedesigner

Hey ADHD friends! Remember: it's OKAY to be distracted ‼️ Bullying yourself for not staying on task prolongs your desire for escape and makes you suffer. Distraction is a great tool for mini-rewards so work to utilize it instead.

You never know what someone is going through in their life, especially those that suffer from an "invisible illness" like hEDS and Fibro. Just looking at me you wouldn't think anything is wrong. So I encourage everyone to try and give people the benefit of the doubt, and treat everyone with kindness

I hate it when I click someone's profile and start scrolling, but then forget I'm on someone's profile and start liking a bunch of stuff. I'M NOT OBSESSED WITH YOU I'M JUST FORGETFUL LOL 😥

I removed the mold from my concrete pour and the corners are so sharp. Chef's kiss but also I was so scared of banging my hand on a corner when trying to peel the foam board off 😱

I don't even like concrete but here we are!

Hi I'm Bryn and I couldn't make a game level for my thesis because it's not interactive enough. They then approved my proposal to concept a virtual learning platform..

Hello lovelies! I need to fill out our Women in Games Ambassador pack which means hunting down all the accounts 👀 Please tag any Women in Games Ambassadors (usually stated in their bio) or introduce yourself so I can fill out the starter pack with a little community help 💕 Thank you!

If you see this, post your favorite pokemon!

rock challenge 🪨

Any other game artists find themselves sitting in the shower too long because you're staring at the water droplets on foggy glass and walking through every step of making that a material in substance designer because it's just so pretty? I KNOW I'm not the only one lost in the sauce here

Picture you took (no description) to bring some zen to the timeline.

A number of artists and creators have made their home on Bluesky, and we hear their concerns with other platforms training on their data. We do not use any of your content to train generative AI, and have no intention of doing so.

I made a starter pack for Women In Games Ambassadors! I only have a small handful of people so far but I hope to fill it out (and create followup packs) listing any WIGJ Ambassadors who are active on Bluesky! HMU to get listed 💕 go.bsky.app/zWRCDF

how to make an artist happy

Someone please explain to me why this cloud looks like a whole wing 😱

I've spoken to many people who point out that things were bad when we grew up, homophobia and transphobia were endemic, and we survived. What people need to remember is how many of us didn't, and that this is a generation that has seen a better world already— one being taken from them violently.

Me when I have like 5 minutes of downtime:

Here's a basic one I threw together in a few mins. It should work (I think?) It's currently empty, but should pick up any non-reply post with #GoodLunch or 👍🥡 emoji combo bsky.app/profile/did:...

2012: “join Twitter? just so I can learn what some moron had for lunch?” 2024: “I’ve joined Bluesky to follow the ‘Good Lunch’ Feed. People post their lunch and others reply good lunch when it’s a good lunch”

#GoodLunch memory from 2020

Fun fact from my brother while he procrastinates on grouting tiles: "Bookkeeping has three pairs of letters in a row" Delightful. Thank you, Drew

You should feel emboldened to cut off the polite conservatives in your life, too, if you please. They vote to outsource the violence done to you onto the government so they can pretend their hands are clean at Thanksgiving.

Question for friends who have made starter packs: are we asking people before putting them on one? What are the formalities of this 🫥

It's easy to enable alt-text! It helped me get in the habit and now I just add it automatically. In the Bluesky app, go to "Settings." Select "Accessibility Settings" and toggle it to on. That's it!
