"but I need AI for my concept art and placeholder art"

The closure of the Strait of Hormuz has trapped a third of the world’s commercial helium, threatening the irreplaceable coolant that makes MRI scanners and advanced microchips possible

Sure are a lot of dying canaries in this coal mine.

Man, this. Even in story heavy games.

It’s crazy to me that the US educational system doesn’t teach you that you can buy a big bag of sticker-backed googly eyes and stick them to whatever you want

On this Scavenger Sunday, we have a fence post.

Spite is a great motivator. If the marketing environment for cameras wasn't so annoying I never would have spent time learning what the terms & specifications actually meant.

THE BEST PLACEHOLDERS ARE THOSE THAT REMIND YOU EVERY DAMN TIME THAT THEY NEED TO BE REPLACED ASAP. IF YOU'RE DOING 'PASSABLE' PLACEHOLDERS YOU ARE SETTING YOURSELF UP TO FAIL.

This is why I unapologetically tell the economics students to change their major to something respectable.

In other ways there wasn't a winter: found a surprise crop of carrots in the patio cracks next to a vegetable keyhole garden.

Now I could take the time to properly edit this. Or I could just share the 🪶 experience as is.

Pope Leo is the first Pope to have ever experienced the US healthcare system, so there's that

Trying very hard to keep this in mind as my area moves into a Fool's Summer (please please please be Fool's season)

It should be fucking embarrassing for companies to only have the absolute bare minimum staff. It should be disqualifying from good opinion to have your business model rely on being understaffed! It’s not classy!

🦆 Laws are nothing without enforcement. I consider environmental protections pretty darn important. What protects the critters in turn protects us. It's win-win. Let's go. Don't make me send THE GOOSE. #wednesdaywisdom #nature

I was asked to give my thoughts on generative AI usage in games - here they are!

Narratively having Ever Given getting stuck in 2021 to set up Hormuz in 2026 is great foreshadowing. You want your audience to understand the basics of international shipping in a lower stakes context so you drop the real plot without a lot of saggy exposition about the minutiae of cargo logistics.

All the fruit trees except for the apples have decided it is Really Spring. Still 2 months before historic last frost date, so...

On this Scavenger Sunday we appreciate that migratory scavengers are starting to move back to their summer range.

Sad to see the Ides of March becoming commercialised like this. I really feel like we're losing track of the true spirit of the holiday. It's not about how many knives you can stick in a tyrant all at once, it's about the whole community coming together to stab the tyrant as many times as possible.

I think about this a lot.

Well... this should be fun.

Landfills can be major sources of methane, a potent greenhouse gas. With new technology like auto-tuning wellheads, landfills in Washington are working hard to reduce methane emissions — with support from an Ecology grant program. Read more: ecology.wa.gov/blog/march-2...

Why Do Some People Still Wear Masks In 2026 And On A Completely Unrelated Note Why Is Everyone In The Office Sick Right Now Apart From The Guy In The Mask?

I'll often not be able to tell people what I'm thinking because there are so many thoughts happening at once. I realised recently that it feels like when a flock of pigeons descend on a fresh pile of crumbs. Loud, chaotic and entangled. #pigeons #neurodivergence #illustration #procreate #art

"California Queen" - acrylic on board, 8x10" I've always loved condors and while this was a challenging painting, I loved creating it. Will work on getting prints made with some of the proceeds to benefit condor reintroduction, so stay tuned! #birdart #wildlifeart #sciart #condor #birdpainting

It recently came to my attention that a friend who escaped an abuser wasn’t familiar with DARVO, an acronym for understanding how abusers operate. So we’re all going to have a little education tonight:

"war in the middle east" causing "cost of living concerns" kind of implies that the blame lies on the middle east and not the united states, and israel, who in fact started this war. i *am* concerned about the united states and israel making my life harder for me.

You're not going to make any money doing this and no one is going to read it, so you must hope for a secret third thing to happen
