Currently working on a story about the Xbox boycott and hoping to have it up on the channel before the end of the year. But in the meantime, I'm very happy to have my name (and PMG's) attached to today's pledge from @nogamesforgenocide.com.

We can all do our part to help untangle our games industry from the tendrils of genocide. I'm proud to have been part of the team to put this out, I've been working hard on the web dev side of this and I'm happy to see so many sign ups already! #gaza #genocide #palestine #BDS #gamedev #gamesindustry

Came across a nice video by @camelCaseDev talking through some apparently slept on HTML tags: www.youtube.com/watch?v=HgND... Not all the elements mentioned are baseline yet. I was sad to see that the closedby attribute isn't, but I learned about template and the inert attribute! #html #webdev

Wow, the #ThreeJS prerequisites manual page is a surprisingly good crib sheet of ES features: threejs.org/manual/#en/p...

I just dropped my newest (100% free✨) Blender guide - this time made with your help! It’s a 19-page collection of tips and tricks from some of the coolest Blender artists out there. It covers everything: Advanced Modeling, Rendering, Hotkeys and more! Okay, enough teasing! ⤵️ t.co/Ht4LUy538q

Was cleaning out my codepen today, saw that a DVD Bounce sketch I found from 2 years ago no longer works. It used the <marquee> tag to achieve its animation, but sadly that has since been deprecated. So for my own collection, I've written an implementation in JS: codepen.io/liyiz/pen/Ea... #webdev

Michael_Foote on TikTok posted a video about how to quickly help a migrant friend who may have gotten nabbed by ICE

Absolutely loving Ropuka's Idle Island. Just a lil frog guy gardening on my desktop

My typing speed takes a huge debuff, but my other stats are buffed.

I recently designed some merch for @gaby_cosplay (instagram/tiktok). This one I'm particularly proud of you can check it out here: gabycosplaymerch.dashery.com/products/794... #merchdesign #disabilityjustice #graphicdesign

For those who want to participate in a community committed to games making for learning and the joy of it. I highly recommend it!

Posted this a few months ago when itch went offline (following the bogus phishing report from Funko), still very relevant today for different reasons

fwiw i view itch as a victim in this and think they deserve some benefit of the doubt for everything they’ve done. payment processors are holding a gun to everyone’s head and itch is no exception. this is different. the death of itch, like so many are rallying around now, would be detrimental.

The games industry is complicit in genocide and imperialism. It’s time to divest. If you're a game worker, journalist, streamer, or gamer, and feel like you want to get more involved, you can head to our website for more: nogamesforgenocide.com

Don't wait until you're thirsty to dig a well. Don't wait until you're hungry to plant your crops. Don't wait until you need a powerful union to build one.

CEO compensation graphed next to employee compensation. 🙃

Woah, when did github add this feature that let's you use a kanban board??

That 2s clip of mantling over an edge in first person was enough to hook me. A solar punk Mirror's Edge that's made by students, sign me tf up!

I would like one motorbroom please! 🧹✨

I was tinkering around with @heytibo.bsky.social's Godot Plush character, trying to wrap my head around how the facial expressions work. Learned a lot about animation tree and animation player nodes today. I swapped in the relaxed eyes and made them open when lil guy sprints. #GodotEngine #gamedev

Take the fictional characters quiz and post the first four you know: openpsychometrics.org/tests/charac... Kinda lost, but kinda not 😅 always trying to do the right thing

Reconnecting with the graphic designer in me ✏✨

I recently got caught out by AI generated music playlist videos on YouTube. I'll link an informative article about it in a reply, but suffice it to say I'm relieved to discover human DJ videos, like these by Humano Studios: www.youtube.com/watch?v=OIvG... Hitting the spot for some background music!

Getting back into Godot. Hehe, button

I spent well over a month talking to investors to get the actual data behind what’s happening to the games industry. I was going to say “enjoy!” but it’s, uh, not great. youtu.be/9HM9nmqNioQ

Heck yeah, unhinged (and honest) is the new meta. Also, go support witch motorbroom game

How Xalavier Nelson does it aftermath.site/xalavier-nel...

Read this story in full. It is horrifying, disgusting, and barely a glimpse. Even with all her privilege she was still kidnapped for 2 weeks Private prisons get government funding: money for each detainee. That's the only reason a LOT of folks are in jails. And yes it includes random travellers.

Didn't know that Terry Pratchett once (and very directly) helped with an Oblivion mod. www.eurogamer.net/the-story-be...

This is one of my favourite stock images of all time. That is all. #asfia #shutterstock #penguin

share this if you want me to make more papercraft of indie games (jk i will keep doing it anyway)

Good read on video games from a different perspective: felipepepe.medium.com/the-gentrifi...

After years away from game dev, I couldn’t stay silent about my people’s dehumanization. I made Dreams on a Pillow 🍉a game inspired by a famous Palestinian folktale about the 1948 Nakba. I’m crowdfunding it now—please back & share! 🔗 launchgood.com/1948

I want to make a personal appeal for the beautiful new game of Palestinian gamedev @rasheedabueideh.bsky.social. As nobody will fund a game about the 1948 Nakba, Rasheed is crowdfunding via launchgood.com/1948. I've been doing production advice on the game pro bono, and it deserves to exist.

I updated my portfolio website with my latest work, check it out here: liyizhang.com#card_wilderm... I am currently in Quebec, Canada looking for new remote opportunities. Let me know if you're looking for some creative services muscle 💪✨ #gamesMarketing #creativeServices

The Mr. Rogers advice for moments of crisis is a useful thing to remember right now. Look for the helpers. Look for the people organizing to protect the most vulnerable. Look for the people who have been concretely planning for how to respond, and are ready to implement. Join them, if you can.

Hello @ozone.birb.house I'd like to apply for the Game Dev and Game Business labels please 🙌
