"too big to fail" is a conspiracy by big big to sell more fail

Curious how we approached Mina’s pixel art? 🎨 We’re resurfacing an old Mina the Hollower Kickstarter update about how we tackled Game Boy Color-inspired sprite sizes, palettes, and visual restrictions. 🐭🕯️ Check it out in the link below! 🧵

The recent announcement about Anthropic joining the Blender Development Fund as a Corporate Patron member has raised concerns from the community around how we engage with AI topics. This is how we plan to address the issue: www.blender.org/news/upcomin... #b3d #DevFund

good tweet

There's a lot of misinformation floating around saying today's VRA opinion is fine because it all turns on the question of "intent." After all, they're saying, all you have to do is prove discriminatory intent, so what's the problem? This is a THREAD.

*megaflares you* #jrpg #tacticsrpg #indiedev

Microsoft losing the plot to the extent that games running on Linux through a compatibility layer are now not only faster but *assumed to be faster* than games running natively on Windows should be an even bigger story than it already is

I spent the first couple years Blending not touching shapekeys because they looked like the brute force "cheating" version of rigging. I still feel like that but now I see it like Prometheus stealing fire from the gods. Vertices bent to the will of mortals so we can blink good

Listen, yes, gross - but if the deal is Anthropic funds Blender -which is a free, open-source commercial-grade toolset available globally- in exchange for what's effectively Python API improvements that benefit everyone, then sure whatever. Let them spend on something useful for once.

I truly try to build my workflows on open source because even then, in a situation like this where it is *so* despised and advocated against by the user base, the rot seeps in. The only way to trust you'll have working tools in five years is to have access to source, forks and older versions

when we mourn le guin, we mourn one of our greatest writers & thinkers. but we also mourn one of our all-time greatest haters

Damn. Thread.

Jucika on a date

new bsky image carousel is soooooo perfect app design with zero UX sensibilities or considerations. users universally hate carousels and we’ve known this for over fifteen years of web and app design. they only exist for ungrounded UI designers and their behance portfolio from the 2010s

I generally avoid hourly/daily content accounts but I follow this one mostly so I can do the Leo pointing meme at this every time

“Conservatives are saying this unhinged thing about [GAME/BOOK/MOVIE], isn’t that wild?” No. And why are you making us read it

Made a template for an Oblivion style persuasion wheel in #pico8, for the upcoming #wheeljam. CC0, free to use for this jam or any project. Not the cleanest code and the animation gets messy if you mash directions fast enough, but it'll get you through a jam just fine. #gamedev

you should make a game using the Oblivion persuasion wheel. fun to make things spin

I am eternally thankful for this @citationspod.bsky.social podcast from years ago that rewired my brain from seeing gambling as a stupidity tax to a targeted attack to drain resources from vulnerable populations who have less and less hope for any kind of "honest" financial stability

the passive voice store was visited by me and you were known by everybody there

I found it using the wayback machine god bless the internet

remembered a good tweet

new blogpost 💫 How to make ONE master concept to rule them all charlesboury.fr/articles/fak... #gamedev #conceptart #3dmodeling

I keep thinking about dipping my toes outside of Pico-8 and then I read something like this and. You know. Maybe I'll give gamedev tech another couple years to sort its shit out

what started off as a random idea is now months away from launch! 🎮 #indiegame #gamedev #newgame

I think about this tweet every time I feel something online start to curl its annoying little grip into my head

Working on some topology stuff. Trying to make a hand that deforms nicely with minimal loops. ✋🔧

i know enough about LLMs to understand bluesky being down is probably unrelated to their recent statements about vibe coding but the timing is so funny i think they should just take this one on the chin and give it up to the haters

Been having fun drawing lately using @hairic.bsky.social's random symmetric sprite generator as inspiration for some warm up drawings. #pixelart #ドット絵 hairic.itch.io/random-spr

despite his archaic-ass writing style and busy fucking pages Loomis does remain the best authority on the subject:

A lot of people dont like "death dates." And I get it. Why focus on the day someone died - something sad - and not just celebrate the day they were born? But for me, there's something a death date represents better that a day of birth doesnt do as well. Reflection. 🧵

Seeing people posting their favorite Good Friday tweets, and I'd feel remiss if I didn't share this amazing @bransonreese.bsky.social comic
