Hi a friend of mine worked with a small team on a hard but super fun pixel platformer, that constantly switches between dimensions, and teleportation is your only way forward.

If @bsky.app (and any other that follows the "phone/mobile" UI) actually cared about their plataform being useful and comfortable: Here's my take on what it could alctually look like. Do we really need -THAT MUCH- empty dead space? really? And don't get me started on the fucking gallery view...sigh

The thing about social media age restrictions is that it treats today’s internet as an inevitability we all just have to deal with. The internet (and the WORLD) wasn’t like this until like four dudes were allowed to own & monetize as much tech real estate as they wanted. Fix THAT problem.

This was a flippant response as many studios have fake titles, but I worked a few years in Crystal Dynamics’ CDC engine on Deus Ex: HR and a key component was the ability to integrate temp asset files before you’d even made them. Placeholder workflows are in CD’s DNA. Totally inexcusable.

Subways after dark: London, Tokyo, Warsaw & Rome.

London : Station entrance of Piccadilly Circus, glowing in deep indigo shadows, stairs leading downwards drawing the eye into a quiet urban underworld.

Tokyo: A lone figure descends into violet-blue subway light in Shinjuku, framed by geometric tiles and cinematic contrast. The colored light is achieved by a plastic gel over the flash on the camera.

Warsaw: Electric-blue escalator tunnel stretching into infinity, illuminated like a futuristic corridor of stars. A man descends the escalators on the far right of the frame. The image is captured on a wide angle lens to exaggerate the lighting. It is framed with perfect symmetry: the silhouette of the man breaks it up.

Rome: Emerald-tinted metro staircase beneath fluorescent light, the image is angled looking upwards at the stairs, evoking a moody late-night cityscape. The sign overhead reads “uscita”.

Someone in GW’s graphics design department is currently being yelled at then. Time will tell whether they’re being yelled at for using AI, not covering up the use of AI well enough, or making mistakes that look exactly like what people look for in AI. In 2026 it’s hard not to assume the 2nd one.
