Question for recruiters: Would a message template for job listings shared on discord discourage you from sharing your listing? Would it be too much effort, or would it be simply ignored? What would encourage you to add additional information that may not already be in your post? (e.g. location)

Again, my utmost respect for @polygon.com for reporting on Dreams on a Pillow when so many sites and influencers that claim to stand for inclusivity and diversity and equality have ducked speaking about the genocide, about Palestine, and about Palestinian stories. www.polygon.com/gaming/50447...

Dreams on a Pillow, the Palestinian video game about the 1948 Nakba, surpassed its funding goal

It’s follow-up to the award-winning Liyla and the Shadows of War

Btw artists if you want to help combat AI slop sneaking into your research I am begging you to STOP relying on Pinterest for reference gathering. Familiarise yourself with the free online collections of museums of which there are several and how to search them effectively

This is obviously a scam email but every time I get these I laugh my ass off. You love the colors in my portfolio? (My incredibly out of date portfolio)

A scam email that says "Hi Your artwork is awesome! The creativity, detail, and colors are incredible. Every time I look at it, I see something new to be honest. Is it Available for sale? Thanks!"

An image of my (Bryn's) portfolio. It is very notably grey with metals and devoid of colors.

There are people that seem to think that sharing an org chart is enough to explain how an entire team is supposed to work together, make decisions, and know where to go. These people are wrong.

Take a moment this season to credit things around you to artists! Love the design of your fridge? ✨ Artist ✨ I'm constantly forgetting that not everyone realizes art is more than a painter in a studio. So many people don't realize how immersed they are in the products of art and design!

"Meshtron generates meshes of detailed, complex 3D objects at unprecedented levels of resolution and fidelity, closely resembling those created by professional artists." no it doesn't

Screenshot of webpage about Meshtron, showing AI generated car and camera models, then a triangulate version and a quadded version. The topology is poor.

Text: "As almost all of the 3D representations can be converted to point clouds, Meshtron can either serve as a stand-alone remesher to improve the quality of existing meshes, or be used in tandem with a text-to-3D or image-to-3D model to generate artist-grade meshes from scratch."

Text from the Meshtron is an autoregressive mesh generator based on the Hourglass architecture and using sliding window attention. It exploits the periodicity and locality of a mesh sequence to achieve greatly improved efficiency.

Meshtron generates meshes of detailed, complex 3D objects at unprecedented levels of resolution and fidelity, closely resembling those created by professional artists. It opens the door to a more realistic generation of detailed 3D assets for animation, gaming, and virtual environments.webpage under title "Conclusion"

Motivation of the day: It's still progress if you don't finish and it's still progress if you don't succeed. Stopping after 3 steps up a stairwell is still making your way there. It's okay to take a break; it's okay to only have a bit in you at a time; it's okay to live at your own pace.

Exactly what I'm talking about! How many of the games getting nominated & awarded tonight still have the teams that made them? How many of those studios have lost many of their amazing devs, or closed down entirely? This shouldn't be normal

Hey ADHD friends! Remember: it's OKAY to be distracted ‼️ Bullying yourself for not staying on task prolongs your desire for escape and makes you suffer. Distraction is a great tool for mini-rewards so work to utilize it instead.

You never know what someone is going through in their life, especially those that suffer from an "invisible illness" like hEDS and Fibro. Just looking at me you wouldn't think anything is wrong. So I encourage everyone to try and give people the benefit of the doubt, and treat everyone with kindness

I removed the mold from my concrete pour and the corners are so sharp. Chef's kiss but also I was so scared of banging my hand on a corner when trying to peel the foam board off 😱

A corner on a concrete sculpture. The corner is very well defined and pointy. The concrete still has pieces of ripped foam board on the sides that were used for the casting mold.

The concrete sculpture flipped upside down on a work table.

I've spoken to many people who point out that things were bad when we grew up, homophobia and transphobia were endemic, and we survived. What people need to remember is how many of us didn't, and that this is a generation that has seen a better world already— one being taken from them violently.

It's easy to enable alt-text! It helped me get in the habit and now I just add it automatically. In the Bluesky app, go to "Settings." Select "Accessibility Settings" and toggle it to on. That's it!
