1/2 I'm working on the snazzy weapon Bowmark finds in Oath Of An Exiled King (coming soon) trilogy. Bowmark slowly learns the properties it has and how it can be used, finally upgrading it with the help of a 'magician' in the 3rd book. The basics are:

"My media diet is mostly jangling keys" DED. If you're a genX/millennial nerd and want to face a difficult truth, boy do I have a video for you below. www.youtube.com/watch?v=6RNX...

For those of you more contemplative than celebrative this weekend. I offer my favorite modern day prophet. (not the telling-the-future kind) It's a sober reflection of what the most powerful nation in the history of Earth is, and what it could be. www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQjL...

And for the record: yes, I said the same thing when dems were crowing about the same thing during Biden's term.

Nobody: Game Designers for some reason:

I didn't work on this one, but I'm pleased at how it turned out. If you like horror games and have a Netflix account you can play this using your phone as a controller/flashlight/phone. It's only about 20-30 minutes long. Definitely best to play at night with the lights off. CW: graphic gore.

Don't be a freak. Let us taste your pee.

JOKER: Not so fast, Bat-JERK! My LAUGHBangs will leave you BLIND as a BAT! BLUESKY BATMAN: Oof. Many people suffer from reduced vision. Not funny. JOKER: It's like, it's a pun. It's just wordplay. BLUESKY BATMAN: Sorry if I'm not in the mood for "jokes" while SCOTUS shreds our constitutional rights

I was a kid before the internet so sometimes I would stare at this for an hour.

Thinking about Bungie layoffs. Fifteen years ago you could shed these jobs and most let go would land on their feet because other local studios were hiring. Now? It's a desert in Seattle.

Well, I've been affected by the Bungie layoffs, and I guess I'm now looking for work. I'm a senior narrative designer on Destiny 2. I'm going to thread a little list of stuff I've done on the game; normally I go out of my way to avoid attention, but today I'd appreciate reposts.

I'm grateful that I have a dad who taught me what self sacrificial Love looks like with his actions. This aspiration is core to my spiritual and ethical being, and something I strive to apply in my action and art.

Don't ask questions

I love Seattle Summer 9pm skies.

At the start of my terrorism studies course, I ask students what most terrorists have in common. They always say: 1- Mental illness 2- Religion. They are, of course, wrong. The two most common traits of violent extremists are: 1- Gender 2- History of domestic violence and online mysogyny.

Look at this fun candle effect I created for this display I'm working on.

Ah the beautiful sounds of nature!

Paramount+ wanted to use the image on the left as a poster for the wrath of Khan, so they used everyone's least favorite technology to generate the rest of the image.

Ok this is a truly great tweet

There sure are a lot of unprecedented things kids these days are being impacted by. This one makes me especially sad.

Place your bets now! This could be your big chance!

Someone needs to go into the past and assassinate all the sci-fi writers to save the present! (Maybe someone should write a book about that)

Weird that so many people resist a technology that promises to ruin the environment, steal your data, ruin art and make you unemployed. Buncha luddites.

vertex animation textures in action! for reference, this is essentially encoding an animation as vertex offset data into a texture (remember, r g and b are just 3 numbers, you can put anything in there) and applying that offset to vertices in linear playback via a shader

My mother selling our book. I'm incredibly blessed to have a mom who has helped me kickstart my Big Dream. (She's an incredible writer.)
