Yesterday's news about Jacob Geller broke my heart, so much that I couldn't stop dwelling on it all day. In an effort to make sense of this horrific news and my admittedly complicated feelings about it, here is my article on the Jacob Geller situation: epiloguegaming.com/what-do-we-d...

Take a break from being depressed that everything you love is being destroyed by slop for a moment and let me tell you about the beautiful symbiotic relationship between graffiti writers, train yard workers, and model train enthusiasts.

Just launched Teams 101 - the most complex course among the eight. It covers everything from hiring to firing, motivation and trust, leadership and conflict resolution - it's a lot, dense, and sadly a course that many indie studios could benefit from their founders, directors, and leads taking.

Teams 101 - Levelling the Playing Field
The healthy way to lead a small team, from giving good feedback to handling the conflicts you'd rather avoid.

referring to metroidvanias as "hollowslop" to simultaneously piss off people who like metroidvanias, people who like hollow knight, people who want a better genre name for "metroidvania", people who are sick of the word slop being misused, and gradius fans who want to see more checkpoint recoveries

#Blender #Addons #UVMapping I like smart tools that just figure it out themselves rather than me having to fiddle with 100 settings. I also like addons with a clear focus and not 1000 tools I need to make a custom favorites menu to deal with.

Blimps are so handy for signifying that a story is taking place in a parallel universe. You open a scene in iconic London but holy fuck is that a *blimp*? and you know you're in a parallel universe. Easiest shorthand ever. I think Fringe did it?
