Blender is integral to future indie pipelines in ways many have not even imagined yet. Blessed be those that support Blender.

this abhorrent decision cannot be allowed to stand. it’s long past time the abuse of the notwithstanding clause was addressed.

Moments ago, Premier Danielle Smith's government made a terrifying decision and introduced legislation to suspend the charter-protected rights of transgender young people in Alberta. Now is the time to act. Visit www.stop-smith.ca to sign our petition denouncing this draconian erosion of freedom.

Real glad I've stuck to Windows10. Real glad.

#3157 A helpful tutorial

As kids, my younger brother and I would help my dad sell some garments at flea markets and such. We honed our sales skills by touting the goods saying "we got some small, extra small, large, extra large, medium, extra medium". It was a successful tactic, among others (or we were just cute kids, idk)

This is what ally ship looks like to me.

Xbox made the certification documents public (this is it takes to ship/pass the checklist/QA to launch a game on Xbox) for everyone; and Nintendo/PS should consider the same. There are a lot of things that if were common knowledge would save hours/money to everyone. developer.microsoft.... #gamedev

QT my own post cause I do think more people should know about Kagi. We've only been using it for a week but it's already avoiding so much daily frustration help.kagi.com/kagi/company/

This is supercool, a real-world validation of the Belyayev Russian Fox experiments. But also the raccoons at my house seem to be getting more and more thuggish, so I dunno. www.scientificamerican.com/article/racc...

We don’t use generative AI at Strange Scaffold and I can confirm that a *lot* of other studios are not—whether indie or AAA. Get outta here with this normalization bullshit.

Really weird that "Extremist" hateful content by default is on the "warn" setting while rudeness is entirely hidden

I am no longer employed so I'm not blogging Zohran tonight but I can just repeat exactly what I said in June :-) he won on the back of a pro-migrant, pro-trans, pro-working class campaign. and also: Dem pundits are full of shit

Also because I saw this on LinkedIn and you’re gonna get a lot of math for responses: If a client wants a minute of animatic, think about how long that animatic will take to make, add two buffer days, give them a day rate. If that math is below a thousand dollars, up your day rate.

I swear by Affinity for photo editing over the Adobe suite (I know how to use it but I prefer Affinity), and they just announced that the entire thing is completely free now they’re part of Canva Only features locked away are AI, which to me is a win Highly recommend

I'm glad there's at least SOME official guidance on this at least in some places, because yeah. If you definitely have covid, or you suspect you have covid, you have to become one with your couch. Be the potato you've dreamed of becoming. Let your body *rest*.

Gamedev friends, this is more proof that we are not to blame for the current state of our industry. These are the same executives that follow every trend blindly and ignorantly. Aggressive MTX, everything is a live service, DRM that only punish paying players, NFTs, and now AI. What a shitshow.

There is an infantilization of Greta in some online discussions that really bothers me, and though I am finding I have a weird time trying to explain why I am so bothered, I think it boils to: Neuro-divergent people are not inherently more naive, more innocent, more righteous, or more childlike.

These kinds of stories are so important to tell

Geez... CAQ in Quebec trying to claim that inclusive pronouns and word endings make the language too difficult is rich. We require 8 year olds to memorize like 10 verb tenses, QC French generally is full of portmanteaux and neologisms, and everyday people use pretty creative grammar and spelling.

I took a Bitsy game I never finished, about a maple syrup heist, and turned it into a poetic memoir about finishing things, for a @gamepoems.bsky.social submission. I'm told it will be shared this weekend at the Winchester Poetry Festival in the UK, which I'm excited about. Takes ~5 mins to play.
