The main way in which AI has negatively impacted games industry jobs is not through actual automation of those jobs or even untrue claims about automation. It's by making capital unavailable because it's tied up in AI investments while also destroying the consumer base for video game hardware.

Reminder that my amazing friend made a hot evil elf dressup game and you can make her hot and evil in many different configurations 🤍🖤

Since the stroke, iconic Eugene S. Robinson (Oxbow, Whipping Boy, Buñuel) cannot speak, sing, read or write. In a word: devastating. Recovery costs will be steep. I know Eugene has devoted fans here — please share

Home after a long, hot Develop! Immediately hosting a garden lunch afterwards! Fuck were we thinking! Had a joyous week - I'm so fortunate to know so many wonderful people and to have met so many new ones. All goes well, I'll be back next year! Especially since we found fossils on the beach 🥰

Twice a year, Hawai'i experiences a strange moment where the sun appears to be exactly overhead & anything that is completely vertical casts no shadow. Let's learn about Lāhainā Noon, subsolar points & 'Kau ka lā i ka lolo', meaning "the sun rests on the brains."

I've been thinking about this sign for 6 months. a phrase I'll treasure forever. a metaphor with boundless potential

Dear Jimothy

I'm so fortunate to own an original from Chloe - it's among my most-loved art and she shipped it with care and the most darling note. Give her gallery a look if you're looking for something for yourself or a loved one 🥰🥰🥰

The Entity looks like this today, in its absolute yard sale of a hotel room

Fucked that there are a million songs about love but only one about being all alone like Tarzan Boy

losing my mind at how ruthless this sentence is

skincare is very important

If I met you at this please feel free to add me on here! I have the memory of a single celled organism in this heat 🦠

Sam Neill and his active tautoko for young artists ❤️ it can change the direction of a life, that kind of support and validation, and it stays with people forever. sometimes it can save a life (and from posts today, Sam's kindness did save a few). beautiful, from Kiwi actor Kerry Fox @kerryfoxacts

Every photo I tried to take of my "come say hi at Develop" outfit is so backlit my face looks like it would be in an X-Files cold open as Photographic Proof of The Entity

Pictures from a friend of mine who works on a crab-fishing boat off the coast of Newfoundland. I love the nightmare crab door.

I didn't know Sam Neill closely, but we were 'pub and shopping neighbours' for over a decade. Not a bad word to say, never crossed paths without thinking "what a lovely, funny man." Would often see him at wine tastings, pouring glasses and tidying up alongside the bar staff. Normal as bloke.

RIP to the incomparable Sam Neill

This will never not make me smile.

If the moon didn't go to sleep in its little moon house every night, why did my parents always make me read a book about how to say goodnight to it? Checkmate

It’s hot here and the Cotinis are thirsty! Not much room at the fermented tree sap bar, so it’s become a bit of a brawl.

Scorcher in Cambridge today but that hasn't stopped me for going on one bike ride for every g&t I drink (five of each)

RIP Bonnie Tyler. And RIP Tandi Iman Dupree. This remains the best stage entrance by a drag queen of all time, even some 25 years later, and the best use of Tyler’s “Holding Out for a Hero” ever. youtu.be/IHQA5vqn6rw?...

Two year anniversary of when I first posted this comic

Deer Social is very old and an abandonware. Use witchsky.app, it's updated and far better than most other clients.

This feels like a romanticised take vs the reality of anyone who's ever been so unfortunate as to have to use a travel agent (a human who pretends to be an expert plans your whole trip for you, they know nothing, they answer emails when they feel like it, you can't edit any of your own bookings)

Whew, @nicolecarpenter.bsky.social in usual fine form, but she lets @nazihfares.com absolutely lay it out in this piece. Well worth your time to read

Roses are red I love my wife

It’s a shame that bad ass poster for the Mexico England game was AI. Anyway, this one I made quickly on the bike at the gym isn’t

Cannot wait to check in because there's a goth shop 4 mins from the hotel with reviews that all say the staff are mean women who will treat you like shit

I was absolutely encouraged to pursue university and a 'real job' when I was young, but never at the expense of giving up on writing. My folks preferred it as a hobby, sure, or a side-hustle. They wanted me to hedge my bets. But they always appreciated my output and accomplishments and craft
