Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy: www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employmen...

When you're animating and you look up to see you're sitting on... #animation

We are thrilled to announce that our NEW Large Language Model will be released on 11.18.25.

Someone should make an Enshittfication video game that teaches you a set of inputs and interactions then changes them every level for no good reason. That'd be so fun.

OpenAI employees are very excited about how well their new AI tool can create fake videos of people doing crimes and have definitely thought through all the implications of this

A fun #UX thing in Germany is how the language option is often not a flag or localized word for a language but somewhere in a menu under "sprache" which requires a sliver of German to escape German.

Hand rigging challenge number 2: What do you call this finger?

When you're rigging a Mickey Mouse type hand with 4 fingers, do you call the last finger the Ring or the Pinky finger? #animation #rigging

A conversation Friday was relevant here. LinkedIn's transition to social media, annoying as it is, might be the most successful social media in 2025. I didn't want to believe that but was convinced.

Actors and animators learn about the importance of body language while a lot of people miss it in fixating on written word and voice acting. Travel and interaction with people who you don't share a language with is also a good lesson on body language, of you're paying attention.

Nobody on Bsky is famous enough to have the ability to reply turned off. Tech savvy people not here describe Bsky as an echo chamber and that functionality reinforces it.

More software needs to acknowledge and follow industry standard hot keys. Does Krita really need a different "deselect" button than Photoshop, Clip Paint or Asesprite? No. it doesn't. We need standardized (but totally customizable) hotkeys for: -image editor -video editor -3d software #gamedev

#animation is the best

This month I hit 24 years in professional #gamedev #animation. More than half a lifetime! Feels... weird. Especially with the state of things now. Been thinking a lot about "One Keyframe at a Time", the song @latienie.bsky.social and I did at GDC19, especially the last/late career verse.

Adjusted for inflation Spirited Away cost $22 million to make. The Triplets of Belleville cost $16.5 million, Cartoon Saloon's Wolfwalkers cost $14.28 million, and Oscar winner Flow cost only $4 million. These critically acclaimed, made by real people films, cost less than this pile of actual vomit.

Sometimes autocomplete on my phone guesses I want to follow a word with an "a" and I don't immediately notice. "That's what I'd do" becomes "that's a what I'd do" and suddenly I am typing like Mario.

Doctors I trust more than RFK Jr (except RFK Jr isn't really a doctor)

There's a weird dialog about #silksong credits, as if "three devs + some contractors" couldn't make a Metroidvania in 8 years. There's a danger in claiming teams must be big, even in small #gamedev but also in normalizing a half a generation to ship. Here are the actual credits:

Do it. Search your name. Take their money. It’s yours anyway.

Golden Sun remake wip

#Weapons was an incredible movie. The trailers for everything before it (Eddington, in particular) also make me want to get to the cinema more often. Between all the corporate slop and the shaky industry, there are some really great things being made and you should support them.

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars. OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

The toilet was not a joke. Our game has flying toilets. #gamedev #previs www.youtube.com/watch?v=_eRc...

The "Quiet" bikini sniper silliness and it basically not having an ending aside, MGSV was an excellent game and struck a good balance between response and grounded weight for a 3rd person game. MGS is what sold me my Playstation 2, 3 and 4. I'm sad there won't be any more "real" MGS games.

Our costumes for @gamesground.bsky.social are ready so that the game announcement creates some real BUZZ 🪰

We have an announcement date. Let's see which organ gives out this time

A few industry veteran friends and I are doing some #gamedev stuff and are sharing bits of progress daily. www.youtube.com/@agency_games www.instagram.com/stories/agen... www.tiktok.com/@agency_games

Lot of parallels to games. Suits waste profound amounts of money trying to will the industry into a consistent repetitive slop machine when, as with all entertainment, the only consistent rule is that inconsistent, original and good is the way of maybe getting a hit. Maybe.

Why do you need my name to edit a video?

I got the complaint in the horrific OpenAI self harm case the the NY Times reported today This is way way worse even than the NYT article makes it out to be OpenAI absolutely deserves to be run out of business

Ive always said this is the real reason why starting art at a young age gives you an edge. Obviously time and experience matter but getting the shitty frustrating beginner drawing phase out before you've developed true self awareness is a huge boon

GDPR cookie bullshit has destroyed the magic of translating foreign websites.

Battlefield 6 is looking really good! Congrats to my former colleagues at DICE and Ripple Effect. The mojo is back! Also, cool to see the "dual optics" make a return from MoH: Warfighter in 2012.

I wrote and recorded this song last summer in Southern California but today, I dedicate it to Berlin, where it is way, way too hot. Presenting "Fuck You, Sun." #heatwave www.youtube.com/shorts/yhW73...

Writers should internalize Lao Tzu's lesson about how the emptiness at the center of a wheel is what makes it useful, and how a pot is valuable because of where the clay *isn't*. Corporate geek culture has warped us into thinking that negative spaces are flaws that need to be fixed.

Mafia says FBI investigation could financially ruin heist industry.

So nice. Growth forever doesn't have to be the goal.

Now imagine how many CEOS are getting away with cheating because they have good taste in music.

1)"hello" is inefficient. "This is <name>is better. 2)GenZ answers their phones? I'm GenX and I prefer calls to be scheduled. If I don't know the number, it's a scam. 3)A functional society would have legally obliterated spam calls by now. It's destroyed critical infrastructure.

Bye forever, WeTransfer.
