With CGMA gone, does anyone have any recommendations for online animation classes, or other resources for a beginner animator? #gamedev #animation

Some of the dialogue options in Palia are absolutely unhinged and I LOVE it.

Living in LA is so funny sometimes. My apartment complex sends out warning emails anytime it's going to rain lmao

BREAKING: Democratic Representative Ro Khanna has said: "Senator Schumer is no longer effective and should be replaced"

Did you know that in Canada, if a budget doesn’t pass the government doesn’t shut down? Federal workers aren’t furloughed. Funding for social services doesn’t dry up. Failure to pass a budget triggers an election. It puts the politicians jobs on the line. They get the budget passed.

Left a message for Schiff but @padilla.senate.gov doesn't even have an option for voicemail. Awesome. 👍

If they cave after all of this. If they cave over a "promise" that the other side will "definitely totally negotiate later for real this time"

Been playing Species Unknown (affectionately nicknamed Space Phasmo) with my friend group and while it still has some growing to do, we've really been enjoying it! Definitely recommend it (as long as you're okay with the occasional game breaking bug and some curious design choices 😅)

What a great night 🥰 www.youtube.com/watch?v=yBLd...

I don't wanna get too hopeful but seeing the good news start trickling in from the elections tonight is helping ease some of the terrible memories of this time last year 🥹.

I took an elective in HS that everyone (including me) joked was a "blow-off" fun class, where we watched movies and had to write critical analysis essays on them. Given the state of 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨⁣ now, that class probably should've been required to graduate.

Going on hour 4 of fire alarm testing in my apartment building today. :)

Got my flu+covid vaccine and voted YES on prop 50 today.💪

In other news, apparently I'm on an "AI HATERS" blocklist which honestly, I love that for me. 😆🙏

Maybe there's something to be said about who is actually more replaceable by A*I if the executive class is the one finding the most use for it....... 🤔

Game developers. I am begging you. PLEASE. Make your games start at 50% volume by default or don't make them so LOUDDDDD. WHY is everything so LOUD?? 👵😭

Hi #PortfolioDay, I'm Lee! A technical artist with a focus on lighting and rendering with many years of experience. I am becoming old and grizzled. I'm not currently looking for work, but here are some sheets I put together last time I was and I think they are neat

Still looking for work, it's looking like full-time work may not happen for awhile so I am open to taking on Freelance work if anyone happens to need some 3D Assets. I'm available as soon as possible. Thanks❤️ nataliespitzel.myportfolio.com

Guys, my cats are SO GOOD. 😭

If you see this, QTP with your top 4 Final Fantasy games 🎮

Warms my ancient emo heart to see the kids discovering Mariana's Trench through Josh Ramsay's insane cover of Defying Gravity. 👵🫶

Love continuing the cycle of waking up, checking my phone for 2 seconds, and feeling the sinking weight of nonstop bad news. Everything is exhausting, but especially the state of the games industry rn.

I know it's my fault for still having amazon prime but the amount of ads they're shoving into the "The Summer I Turned Pretty" stream is fuckin OUTRAGEOUS.

My 81 year old grandmother sent my mom and I out with a grocery list this morning. 😂

So excited for the Wolverine team, congratulations on a kickass trailer!!! 💛

I miss who I was 10 years ago.

Looks like I'm saving $20 a month now, good deal!

So now that TikTok has officially gone the way of Twitter, has anyone tried out Skylight?

I'm not feeding the news cycle. I'm not giving clicks or views to these articles. They are gleefully milking this for views, rage bait, and ratings. Frankly, I'm more interested in the Certain Someone email dump that came out today...

Here are some things that Charlie Kirk said in his life. The man is dead, and so it only seems fair to share his legacy by cataloguing the values he spread while alive.

Man, here I thought going to war with Russia was gonna be the biggest news of the day.

It’s gonna be so weird watching establishment dems be performatively sadder about this than they were about the colleague and her husband and dog who got shot and killed

Huh. So anyway, look at my sweet cats. 😍

Did I miss some crazy game dev discourse or are folks just talking generally rn? 😕😂

Everyone I talk to is struggling in some way, financially and/or mentally, and we all talk about the same thing - wanting to build a community somewhere where we can live together and help each other. It's crazy how impossible such a simple concept feels right now.

Maybe it's just me but I get the ick when I hear that ultra wealthy people are playing the lottery. Like, don't you have enough? Back off.

So admittedly it's my fault for watching a Reality Show, but I've been watching Love Thy Nader and the forced A*I usage in the show is WILD to watch. I wonder how much they got paid to pretend they use it like that.

Why are there so many rumors that it happened right now, wait, what is going on, don't get my hopes up 😭

The absolute satisfaction I get when I'm lighting and just pick some colors that I think go well together, then decide to double check myself with adobe color later and it's a damn near exact match.

I don't have the proper words to say more than this now but I was just laid off. My role at Giant Squid is being eliminated. If your studio is looking for an environment artist, please let me know ASAP. I have 5+ years of experience. thank you

My mom showed up with a new cat tree for the boys and they are loving it. #cats #kbspets

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck. I'm so sorry to all the Cloud Chamber folks affected by the layoffs. jfc what a nightmare. ❤️‍🩹🫂

Why does all of Los Angeles only have one single 24/7 animal hospital? I am endlessly confused by this city.

On a positive note, it's been about 2 1/2 months since I started @ Insomniac Games, which is wild. Time is FLYING. As a whole it might be the most collaborative and communicative team I've worked with yet & everyone's so genuinely welcoming! It's just been a really nice experience so far. 🤗

Hey look at the bright side. Only 179 more mondays left in his second term.

They never sold it. Nothing changed. That group is just trying to get people to turn against Costco.

It should get easier to just go about a normal work day while each week brings a new surprise by the orange dictator but somehow, it just DOESN'T get easier. 🙃

Been noticing an underlying desperation in recent media communication about A*I. An intense wave of "it's coming to take over your life, submit now, don't get left behind" propaganda by companies with billions invested... not a great sign when you have to use fearmongering to push your product...

Happy 2nd Gotcha Day to this little nightmare, Luka.
