if you only ever stream movies you don't get to know the sublime joy of reading lots of abstruse forum posts about 8-bit shadow banding. artificial grain layers mean nothing to you. artifacting probably just refers to collecting old shit in your hollow, empty life

The Facial Expressions of Tethys by artist Julius von Bismarck. A suspended high-sea buoy that moves in real time. Sensors on a twin buoy out in the Atlantic Ocean send live satellite data to motors inside the museum. This makes the indoor buoy copy the exact, real-time movements of the ocean waves.

80 hours of embroidery! This aerial landscape is directly inspired by Dartmoor and I'd say I have another 30-ish hours to go? I'm now starting to fill in the fields for the sheep, the tor area will be done last as I'm still deciding whether I want a slope or not 😅 I hope you like it! #art

Going through old drives, i've found a few games that are completely gone from the internet. Stuff with developers that no longer have a web presence, jam games from 2010, stuff from extinct companies. Testing them on Lutris and trying to figure out the best way to share and archive this stuff

Like shadows

A digital painting of a forest path in the early morning, a crowd of peoples are wondering around, they are wearing mask. In the distance a giant figure can be seen inbetween trees.
The mood is dark and warm at the same time.

"Dream of Fire" Project Silverfish blender kitbash/digital painting composition

An inheritor (anthropomorphic lizard from Project Silverfish) kneels in the grass in silhouette next to a taller, dog-headed figure. In the background, a house and radio tower are consumed by flames, which light the whole scene.

The same composition but in black and white

A New Color (1/5🧵)

Page 1: A man is walking home, smoking a cigarette, being quietly trailed by a UFO above him. As he enters his apartment, two aliens watch from inside the ship. Alien 1, who has a large head, says, “that’s him. Let’s move.”

Page 2: The man walks upstairs as the aliens watch from the entrance of the building. The man enters his apartment and greets his little dog. Suddenly there is a knock at the door.

Page 3: he peers through his peephole, and sees the two aliens standing in the hallway. Alien 1 is holding a briefcase. From behind him, the voice of alien one: “don’t scream.”

Page 4: The aliens are seated across the room on the man’s couch. Sadie is in her bed next to them. Alien 1 says, “you’re not in any danger. Have a seat.” The man looks at his dog and thinks, “sadie is unusually calm.” Alien 1: don’t scream, or it’s a problem.

I was accepted for an art grant, so now I'm producing a textbook + course about illustration for gamedev! The course is local so news and updates for it will be only in Portuguese. The book will come out in PT + EN, *free and under an open license*, sometime next year. Thank you!

On the blog we have the 14th of AAA4's fifteen essays up for public viewing - here's @croomfolk.bsky.social with an exhaustive history of 1993's wholly-manufactured "Night Trap" moral panic and its parallels to the Current Moment! www.bpgamesinc.com/culture-carn...

Between 1993 and 1994, a series of congressional hearings in the United States were held over the matter of “violent and sexual content in videogames”, as well as their supposed effects on children. The hearings were primarily centered around the releases of Mortal Kombat, a game where characters get their heads and spines ripped out of their bodies or still-beating hearts pulled from their chests; and Night Trap, a Scooby-Doo-esque game with no nudity, gore, or sexual activity, explicit or implied, about capturing vampire ninjas. Feel free to read that sentence again.

The hearings, as stated, may have been focused on the lack of a ratings system for video game releases, an issue brought to attention by the release of these games, but it could be argued that for the people present, they were about anything but the games themselves. On one side, you had the man primarily responsible for calling the hearings as well as heading them: Senator Joe Lieberman (today remembered mostly for his tireless work in support of the ‘War on Terror’ military campaigns as well as his Internet censorship bills of the 2010s). Lieberman claimed that the player’s objective in Night Trap was trapping and killing its cast of female characters – in reality, less than five minutes of playtime are required before the objective of protecting the women and capturing their assailants is revealed. Despite these statements, the Senator claimed to have “personally examined” the game. On a seemingly unrelated note that, dare I suggest, shows a certain pattern, Lieberman would claim to minority constituents in 2000 that he supported the 1996 ballot proposition that banned affirmative action in California because he ‘didn’t understand its intent’ at the time.
