Share a 90s movie you think deserves more love.

If you care about video games at all, read this. A lot of the greatest game developers are marginalized people that face harassment both inside and outside work. They should be protected at all costs to keep making great games, but all too often are thrown out and abandoned instead.

EXCLUSIVE: So far it's been unclear what proof Rockstar Games has to justify its firing of 34 union members, who it claims were leaking "confidential information in a public forum". PMG has now seen some of the messages which contributed to this decision being made. www.youtube.com/watch?v=8TvW...

Feedback should only be used to help interpret actual behavior data. The actual actions of people are what matters, and this applies to everything from game design to civil planning.

A movie that takes place where you’re from.

I got into it from a random contract for doing QA on a Japanese shopping site based in NYC, and I had a degree in Japanese and experience doing webdev. Stayed in webdev for a decade and then pivoted into games because I've been a huge game design nerd for my whole life.

Post your favourite Star Trek character. Wrong answers only.

Ahahahhaahaaa I guess didn't poll a single person I've ever worked with?

Always stand with workers fighting for a fair deal! ✊️ #NoContractNoCoffee

Sometimes, I love Irvine drivers

BREAKING: Starbucks baristas at Downtown Disney couldn’t stand another day of their managers’ unfair labor practices & kicked off our nationwide strike this weekend. These workers have shut down one of largest Starbucks stores in the country — and we’re just getting started! #NoContractNoCoffee

The biggest accomplishment of Apple has been making technology friendly and appealing to more people. The greatest sin of Apple has been making technology friendly and appealing to more people.

The far less interesting fact here is that in almost every European language, the old root word for "apple" was just a generic word for fruits or whatever non-leaf things that grew on trees. Pinecones were even originally called pineapples, and the fruit was named after the resemblance to them.

Happy Halloween 💀🖤

If you're looking for work in gamedev, here's a thread of guides I've written about everything from setting freelance rates to writing a good cover letter I've been in gamedev for over 13 years and been on both sides of the interview table a lot, so these are all the things I wish I'd known 🧵 1/6

Iria is the one that locked me in, but a bunch of others also airing Saturdays on the Sci-Fi channel in the 90s got me into it. Akira, Venus Wars, Armitage, Robert Carnival, and so many more.

I can't overstate how much transitioning improved my life in every single way possible. Beginning my transition over 7 years ago has directly led to so much progress in my life, personally and professionally.

happy Intersex Awareness Day, everyone, from VGAPride!

I support people making a living wage and being compensated adequately for their labor. I support unions fighting for that. I support Starbucks Workers United ✊️

I've hit the point where I've now lived in LA longer than I lived in NYC. Overall, I love LA, but when somebody asks "What time is it?" and I shout "IT'S SHOWTIME" and do a flip nobody gets it =/

I can easily imagine the prop artist just having to get this done from a photo reference, not giving it any thought and just needing to get their work done that week. But like, come on dev teams. This ends up being world building in such a negative way.

Just completed the FFTactics remaster. 10/10, even better than the game I've loved for decades. Massive kudos to everybody that worked on this, and especially amazing work by the writers and voice cast. 👏

I was explaining this to my gf on why there's right-hand vs left-hand, and her response was just "WHY WOULD IT DO THAT?!" 🤣

He's just so cute

Don't engage. Just block. They want to push their rage bait on here. Don't give them the satisfaction. bsky.app/profile/did:...

Working on modeling this concept by @etiennesavoie.bsky.social , initial blockout done ✅️ Now to start pushing some geo around to get those fun angles

Today, nearly 400 workers with Blizzard's Platform & Technology department have formed a union with @cwaunion.bsky.social! “We are forming a union to hold leadership accountable and to ensure that we can focus on building amazing experiences for the gaming community.” 💪

Oh heck yeah, another Barbarous book 🖤🖤

Rendered out a closeup turnaround of my puppet Cammy model.

I worked with a lot of these folks back when I was at Respawn, and I can't praise them enough. If I wasn't super happy where I am now, I'd be jumping on this myself. Go apply to this, tell your friends to apply!

I kept Des's photo sitting on my computer for a bit before seeking out more references from Abney Park to use for figuring out my own cemetery stone material as my way of learning Substance. He's a treasure trove of material references, and I'd have never discovered Abney Park otherwise!

I've never watched Buffy, Game of Thrones, nor Breaking Bad.

Another school term done, another project to show off. Really had a lot of fun with this one. Based on art by the toy designer Valerio "Dreelrayk" Buonfantino, one of my favorite Cammy designs mixing together her classic and Alpha looks. #3dart #zbrush #maya

Updated my Cammy model with full texturing and grooming! Loved learning Substance, XGen, and Renderman for this! #3dCharacterArt #SubstancePainter #Cammy #StreetFighter #Maya

Newsom sucks, the definitive megathread

it's so nice to see what a functioning judiciary looks like "A transgender woman in the East African nation of Kenya has won a landmark court victory in which the judge not only found in her favour, but ordered the government to pass a Transgender Protection Rights Act." fuck yeah

Just saw the Knights of Guinevere pilot and liked it, definitely has me wanting to see what story will unfold! A little bit on the nose in some aspects, but those parts are also very warranted. Amazing job @danaterrace.bsky.social & @glitchprod.com !!

probably the realest thing ive ever seen posted on that website

Megaman Legends is still gorgeous and a pinnacle of style & animation almost 3 decades later. I will forever love this game despite how clunky the actual gameplay was.

You - yes, YOU - can help protect the LGBTQ+ community here in California by telling Gov. Newsom to sign eight - yes, EIGHT - equality bills currently sitting on his desk. This link will help you do it in one step, today: app.oneclickpolitics.com/campaign-pag...

Really sucks to have a back injury that makes working at a desk unbearably painful when my work, education, and hobbies all revolve around that =/

30 years ago today, one of my fav movies came out. It's fun and idealistic in so many very 90s ways. And just so sooooo queer-coded. I love it so much 🖤

I love Star Trek for its generally optimistic view of the future, but as somebody living in the 21st century I am not very excited about experiencing that part of the timeline 😬

Here is some non-satire for you: Trans rights forever.
