Its a really bizarre state you find yourself in when you work so much on commercial art that it becomes difficult to share. Because then, you stop existing, so to exist, you have to work double to make more, other art, which then doesn't represent your main career. So to solve that you have to -

Not for the first time, but I realized I could make these albums now. Whether streaming or buying songs individually. I have the power. "Direct from ~Europe~" ... where though. www.youtube.com/watch?v=AZJS...

I became Fabio and kitty let me pettt 😭 aaahhh I'm so happy

I wish I could tell Geppetto that his hair looks bad. I also wish I could break his spine into several pieces.

Developed a weird habit where I reapply lip gloss/stick and spritz with perfume before I kill a boss in a video game. Does it make me feel more powerful? Prepared? Idk!

[woman who is terminally online voice] has anyone ever noticed how having conversations in person is both more effective than text and also feels really good? someone should look into this

I have missed so many humanity side-quests, and it doesn't let you double-back. I'll never be a real boy ;_; (Sorry for all the Lies of P posting)

For years I couldn't play any major games bc I was too heartbroken over not getting a job in the industry. I'd start one, get distracted by the art, feel the inspiration sour in my gut, and I'd have to put it down. Lies of P is the first beautiful game where I've kept that sense of wonder. Finally.

Wage theft comes in many forms, and once you start seeing it, it’s everywhere. Layoff after ship? Wage theft. Not getting a bonus that’s in your contract? Wage theft. Doing Lead level work but still only a Senior? Wage theft. Misclassified contractor? Wage theft.

whenever someone only contacts me when they want business resources or information from me & never interact with me as a human being outside of that

free life advice: don't let people into your life that make you feel like you need their approval, or that you are constantly trying to gain their support or get them to like you. these are emotional vampires and they will suck the life out of you because ultimately they do not like themselves.

These are like candy to me. I want to equip them all at the same time.

if you enjoyed the partial release of @hbomberguy.bsky.social's Adobe video that's currently on his Patreon, you should give @endvertex.bsky.social's video a watch. it has a wonderful discussion of some of these things from a different angle www.youtube.com/watch?v=I4md...

Ok, Tubi

Completed summer desserts art! 🍧 #b3d

Just had an internet comment blow my mind. Social rejection contributes to burnout. I'm probably the last person to realize it. But of course it does. I keep trying to make friends, and that takes a lot of effort, so when it doesn't work, it makes me think that ALL effort will be unrewarded.

gumby was always saying this

Found out yesterday that I can't even fly domestically without getting that Real ID thing. Cool. Not that I fly ever really. But it's cool how much personal data is needed to ride the incredibly overpriced air taxi.

Never played the game, but the art of this trailer for Tainted Grail is outstanding. I've probably watched this over a 100 times. Especially at 1:10 right before the tight shot of the cult leader's black lips chanting. SO good! Love the Giger ref in the env too. www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8iA...

there's too much discourse it is stressing me out omg have dog

Only played Lies of P for 7ish hours, but I already purchased the art book Neowiz put out. Worth every penny.

Work is exhausting lately, but I'm still trading sleep to play a little Lies of P every night. It's so good.. Can't remember the last time a game captivated me in this kind of way.

As someone who has been struggling with this for months, if not years, without the ability to take any time off due to the crumbling economy and empty social safety net he helped create, I am torn between “glad you got the help you need” and “fuck off.”

Vanilla Bean sees all your sins and judges you accordingly

Imagine having been in there for 9-11

Welcome back, 2008. We missed your lovely job market.

Rejoice!

Right now the world is full of people who want to code and write and paint and film stuff and people who want to play and read and look at and watch stuff and nobody is allowed to do any of that because some unrelated third guy isn't making enough money off the deal

Obsessed with this stupid photo of my own dog

I don't have guns, but paging @millenia3d.net directly for this one to post in :D

Check out this video about space that I spent 3 months making! www.patreon.com/RejectConven... (It will be public on YouTube on Sunday morning!)

How much could a flower pot cost, Michael? 1 million dollars??

they asked us to look forward, but i couldn't be interested in doing that with a guillotine hanging over my head. i couldn't be interested in giving them more than i already have, for a future with no room for me or the people i care about in it. in a way, i feel vindicated for staying my hand.

as someone who spent 25 years in texas, this may be a bold take, but air conditioning and having people not die is good actually

What piss’s me off with Tim’s calm it’s takes millions to make a flower pot is just how low wages can be for a 3d artist. It may take millions on a larger production level but it’s not going to the people making the 3d models in my experience where for a long time I was on 20k a year.

Adding to my obsidian doc that's just responses to letterboxd reviews that piss me off. Because I am mature and don't start internet fights. Anymore. Actually, would the mature thing be to not have a doc like this at all?

'Emerald Glasses' - No stats? They just look sick? ...fair enough. Yes, I'm playing a game from 2023 leab me alon

Sign of the times that Millennial Hopecore is making a resurgence. Not a GOOD sign. But I am enjoying the tunes. It's all either stomp clap or cold neon. I prefer cold neon - example: www.youtube.com/watch?v=iSC4...

ig just asked if I was interested in notifications where someone has liked my posts. Obviously no? Please tell me whenever 2 people I don't follow talk to each other. And whenever someone I don't know joins threads

It's really funny that years ago we'd be passionately arguing about Unreal vs Unity in indie dev friend circles and now we're all just like "yeah... I've been messing with Godot lately..."

I like how the Fujita Tornado scale goes from EF 4 "Devastating" to EF 5 "Incredible." Like "That EF 4 was devastating. But the EF 5? That shit was siick, bro. I'm talking Blood-C ish I R L. Corpses rained from the sky. It was incredible. You had to be there."

They're predicting a 'swarm' of tornados in my area tomorrow. My overpriced apt is basically a cardboard box, sooo :/ Good luck to everyone else in the path of this!

the biggest takeaway to me in this incredible video is that actually the skills that matter are *your thinking about what matters in art* because even if you do currently pay for a powerful piece of professional software that doesnt mean you'll get to keep your workflow
