If you're trying to convince your friends to spend time on Bluesky rather than X, maybe show them this. X is not "the public town square" or about "free speech." It's "just what Elon Musk wants you to see." If you see stuff he doesn't like he'll step in to make sure you don't see it for long.

Earlier today, I was notified that someone was at my door. This is who it was:

happy transgender day of remembrance thank you for sticking around in the hardest of times. if you haven't, you are missed dearly please live 💜

game awards 2016: we signed a sponsorship deal with schick, here is a bit razor mascot man. he's buff for some reason game awards 2025: we signed a sponsorship deal with a company that knowingly sells ad time to the government agency that kidnaps immigrants

I bought, read and finished Arborescence by Rhett Davis today - I don't even know where to begin on how I feel, other than being totally annihilated. Some books make my brain feel content, but this hurt my heart in a way that it hasn't been in a while, and made me cry. Thanks Rhett!

got some actual variations going now 🏃

Using ai for reference is one way to legitimise it but also will make you worse in time. If you care about the art you make you should care about what influences it and where your ideas come from. The world is massive with tens of thousands of years of art and culture and history you can learn about

BoB has been BBQing my brain the past 24 hours, but the main base is finally done. Will be doing gender variants + headpiece / eyepieces tomorrow maybe. #marathonthegame #wip #fanart #3D

It's cool how we keep proving over and over and over again that there's a significant market for narrative-heavy, character-driven, single-player experiences in video games and publishers just categorically refuse to believe us

[Thread] Beltalowda! The Expanse will soon be celebrating its 10th anniversary on TV, and I'm starting to accumulate quite a few long-form resources on the creation of this show. For the Cant! Here is the list below. 1/8

‘Special thanks’ is for people’s dogs and cats. Not for people who spent five years of their lives actively developing a videogame for you

ok some really fucking crazy shit has gone down today in direct relation to this what even is the world we live in anymore

Interesting, sad read. These guys sound like dudes I grew up with, who got broken along the way or lack critical thinking or empathy. Then online misogyny convinced them they'd no self-reflection to aspire to, instead to rage against a world not bowing to their limited capacity to understand it.

did you know that CE Anniversary doesn't have a Library page for the Master Chief? I decided to fix that 🙂 #Halo #fanart #artwork #3D #BlueskyArt

fixed that for you

This nyt piece is just AI propaganda. It’s not hard to avoid using AI. They’re trying to make you feel like it’s everywhere and impossible to not use, and it’s not true.

NEW: I spoke to original Halo devs about that ICE Halo post One: "abhorrent” Another: "Using Halo imagery in a call to ‘destroy’ people because of their immigration status goes way too far, and ought to offend every Halo fan, regardless of political orientation” www.gamefile.news/p/halo-ice-d...

Python was awarded a funding grant, funding grant asked Python foundation to remove all diversity and inclusion initiatives they have. Python foundation said no and rejected the grant. If you use Python, send a few dollars to the charity to keep it going. I’m pushing a dono on behalf of ScamGuard.

They are REALLY leaning into the Halo bit, huh? I feel like Microsoft or Gamers should say something about such a beloved IP being politicized cause Gamers are all about keeping politics out of games, right? *taps ear piece* Wait a moment…I’m getting an update here…

Guillermo del Toro on wealth: "a wealthy man is a man who has enough, not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite someone for a beer? You're rich. If you have a yacht, planes, islands, and you still need more? You're not rich."

to clarify, I don't want to be antagonistic. But what does frustrate me is how what originally influenced and informed the design of everything from CE was wholly inspired by other forms of media, not inspired by itself. All it takes is returning to those roots, that's the fix. Genuinely.

why did that art director leave tho wccftech.com/halo-art-dir...

I really love Halo: Combat Evolved and love any excuse to replay Halo: Combat Evolved but I’m not going to lie, putting out another remake and rerelease of Halo: Combat Evolved feels like the most “we don’t know what to do with Halo anymore, hit the emergency button” decision one could make

friendly reminder that the BDS microsoft boycott is still happening

we are never going to get a faithful visual interpretation of Halo CE other than its original release 😪

Netease just went straight to my folio to copy/paste elements of my personal work to create their official concept art for their Wakanda map. I tried to get answers for a while but no replies from them so here we are. You can check one of them Dm'ing me on X.

I don’t talk about it much because the situation doesn’t really change but it’s still insane to me what an enormous amount of really talented game developers are out of work. just whole studios worth of incredible people, often people who worked on beloved games, unemployed.

F.E.A.R. turned 20 recently and I completely missed it thanks to the haze of root canal pain and creative obstruction. To say that it had a massive influence on me would be an understatement. I'd planned to do a commemorative artwork but hadn't found the time. Upscaled textures, kitbashed parts.

finished this just now! I was a little iffy about it when it was first announced, but it's genuinely so faithful to the IP. at times it felt like I was watching pages adapted from a novel that never existed. hats off to everyone who worked on this! you fired on all cylinders 💚 #SplinterCell

STOP adapting 80-year-old books into movies and TV series. Stop it. There are a million new novels published every year and 99% of their authors are broke. Stop giving dead people’s descendants money. Books were NOT better a century ago, they were WORSE. They were ALL WORSE. Create in THIS century.

it's not often that I watch a film and have an eye-opening visceral reaction to a scene, but while watching Inland Empire tonight I did. without sounding too much like a madman, it was so affirming to recognise that I'm fishing in the same ocean of ideas as other creatives and I'm thankful for that

unrelated to my feelings on Tron ARES, but I've finally got my ONI artwork up on ArtStation for those looking to peruse. Still pretty happy with how it turned out! www.artstation.com/artwork/P6Rxv4

after watching Ares I have such strong feelings and many many things to say that a thread would not be able to sustainably explain my opinion on it

Losing my mind and what look like video game assets but instead were used to justify war crimes and genocide in the real world

I'm finally doing my due dilligence and finishing my Lynch backlog. Watched Mulholland Drive a few nights ago, had me absolutely enthralled. But I'm afraid the introduction for Lost Highway (and its associated track from Bowie) is going to have a strangehold on my psyche for quite a while

This whole section really.

My friend and industry colleague Heidi has received the devastating news that her partner can no longer fight off his cancer and must go into hospice. She will lose him soon and she is a good person who has already lost so much. Please consider helping her defray the costs and survive the aftermath.

Rescoping projects isn’t fun, I don’t enjoy it. But given how much content exists for it, it makes more sense to do it than throw it away. So, my personal project is now becoming a novel! In-between reconsolidating and rewriting all existing content, I’m also working on its cover art. Very much WIP
