Absolutely essential viewing from @chrisbratt.bsky.social on Rockstar’s sackings, which appear to be the single most flagrant example of union busting in the history of the videogames industry. Rockstar has provided absolutely zero evidence to support any of their claims. youtu.be/c9nOwjeznjI?...

While developing Artful Escape, our 3D artist Mikey, made an oven asset. It was a nice oven - the work of a true pro. He even put the knobs on. And that’s who we are at Beethoven & Dinosaur. We put the knobs on. Mixtape is almost complete, we’re just putting the knobs on. See you in 2026.

🚨DEAD STATIC DRIVE HAS A RELEASE DATE!!!🚨 www.deadstaticdrive.com/releases NOVEMBER 5TH Y'ALL. Congrats to @mike.reuben.games, @leena.reuben.games, and the whole DSD team - I've been DYING to play this one.

Did anyone see that post using the rarmango rigs, where it's like a town hall meeting, and the characters are saying unhinged stuff??? I saw it this morning but i forgot to save it and it was INCREDIBLE

I wake up & it breaks my heart.

It's finally (fantasy) out! 🌵⚔️✨🐤 My work for Summon: Yojimbo is out, found in the Counter Blitz commander deck for #MTGxFINALFANTASY! I had so much fun with this merc-for-hire, and I hope y'all do too! 💰🪙 AD: Vic Ochoa #mtg #ffx #ff10

Mixtape is a game about music, teenaged hijinks, and feeling nostalgic for "the glow of youth"--especially if you're still young yourself. And as the Devo song on its soundtrack says, that's good. www.pastemagazine.com/games/mixtap...

Cannot believe we've been seen like this.

today sag-aftra filed an unfair labor practice against an epic games subsidiary behind AI vader because it failed to bargain appropriately with the union. more power to them, but this whole endeavor is rotten to the core, an affront to the legacy of an actor who can no longer advocate for himself

I tried out Jeffrey's new animation machine. And let me tell you, it went beautifully. NO NOTES. Asked for a "stand to sit at a table" and got this really production ready animation. Can't wait to put it in my GAME or TV SHOW, and show my director. Investors must be THRILLED this cost $10million.

Mixtape is joining the Tribeca Festival lineup! 🎧 Come play the demo by visiting the Tribeca Games Gallery June 11–15. Grab your tickets: tribecafilm.com/festival/tickets

After having watched over 600 episodes of One Piece, I can say with unwavering confidence... The live action series is a really REALLY bad idea. The VFX task for even just the first three arcs is monumental, even if you edit the series down.

Quickly now! Go support this kickstarter for Malys. I WISH TO PLAY WITH THE DEMONS

CITIZEN SLEEPER: SPINDLEJACK is the solo, print-and-play Citizen Sleeper RPG. It is free and brilliant, and you should be downloading it here: jump-over-the-age.itch.io/citizen-slee...

Let's, go

Expedition 33 is incredible. The balance, the pace, the art. It manages to ride this insanely thin line where you play the most powerful weapon and the weakest tree frog. Constantly aware of your potential, always reminded of your inadequacy.

I have told so many people to watch this doco, and NONE OF THEM HAVE. PLEASE, just watch Hayao Miyazaki and the Heron. Find a quiet evening after work. Pour a cup of tea. And just sink into this documentary. m.imdb.com/title/tt3240...

forgot I made this lol

Fades to black Text appears "It was, in fact, that deep"

Arch Tempered Rey Dau is no joke

Once again, there's too many games. On the go at the moment for me is: Monster Hunter Wilds Kingdomcome Deliverance 2 Expedition 33 Blue Prince Help

"elder scrolls" is just me looking at my phone

Bethesda (derogatory)

Fatherly ambience

It's my birthday ✨

I get so much joy from simply hanging out in the world of monster hunter wilds.

Remember, stock market gains are privatised, and stock market losses are socialised. If you're hoping to capitalise on this, just know that all the smart money has already left the market. And now is the time for dumb money to try and catch the knife as it falls.

Cool, so because the artist finishes their work in 1/3 the time, they get to work leave early and see their families... Right? The veil of "allows the animator to focus on artistry" hides the ugly truth of "we are going to use this tech to replace you all very soon".

Why are people so obsessed with taking the craft out of the craft? (Software is Cascadeur)

New game: Packing. Lovingly crafted pixel art about a person carrying a weapon.

I am so dead serious when I say that if no one is interested in learning art and animation, every single thing in our lives will rot.

Gonna go buy a bunch of Ghibli Blu-rays.

Zelda Williams (the daughter of the great Robin Williams) sure had a lot to say about the “Studio Ghibli style” AI images that have been trending recently. I think those people should read these posts and really think about what they’re doing.

The game feels so epic all the time it's insane.

MH:Wilds has tons and tons of little details throughout the game, just an absurd amount of one-off fun things; I think my favorite one is Nu Yaya, a very rare type of endemic life (that you can catch with the capture net!) that only shows up at a very specific time.

MH:Wilds coming out prompted me to finally write an essay I've been thinking about for a long time, about the series' overarching approach to combat design and specifically weapon design: azhdarchid.com/monster-hunt...

Ka-boom

Rewatching True Detective season 1. It's just incredible. They nai EVERYTHING. Like every single aspect is S tier. The pace, the characters, the action, the cinematography. Felt my heart beating out of my chest for the whole episode 4.

Kinda wanna rewatch Frieren 👀

Hey why is this game a million dollars.

All I wanna do is hunt the monster. Why does this video game even need me to do animations for it.

King Dumb Cum: Deliver Ants. Is this anything?

What if I did come here to fuck spiders?

Monster Hunter Wilds is just so charming. The set pieces are epic, and really helped along by the slightly more involved story. I knew when I put a pretty red and white dress on my cat companion, that I fashioned out of a dead spider, that this was a 10/10.

The job market has never been better for shills, stooges, and toadies of all stripes. Linkedin absolutely buzzing if you're a sycophant, a flunky, or even an unctuous little worm
