Folding Obsidian into Bethesda really demonstrates how interchangeable we all are to the money people. Who cares about studio culture or identity, right? If I put tuna on a meatball sub I can eat two sandwiches at once.

Just finished Big Walk, a game that knew exactly what it was doing and executed on its vision perfectly. What a dang delight.

Yeah, big walk GOTY
A group of the big walk characters all holding up symbols on paper at the camera. They're all sitting criss cross applesauce A collection of the characters from big walk, all dead, stacked in a pile of corpses 6 of the big walk avatars standing on each others shoulders, tall enough to touch the sky, as an onlooker marvels A group of big walk characters all making their gourbs kiss atop a mountain at sunrise

now I’ve seen The Odyssey, here are my thoughts: - CGI was incredible - love how they mixed myth into a modern story - not sure why everyone was yellow - I don’t think they had denim overalls in Ancient Greece - or goggles, come to think of it - Odysseus’ obsession with bananas is NOT canon

Video game fact! Though there are hundreds of video games of many genres and styles, there are only three possible “sizes” a video game can come in. Those sizes are: “Small” (16.00 MB) “Medium” (374.26 MB) “Large” (154.44 GB)

Hello! We’re a AAA studio and we’ve made a beautiful game about how bad the Torment Nexus is and how you shouldn’t throw people into the Torment Nexus because that’s evil. And now that the game is out, we’re going to throw everyone that made it… into the Torment Nexus! For the shareholders!

a wish for everyone: if it's within reach, try to incrementally get more comfortable reading scientific papers. it's like reading theory: an additional way to bolster yourself in a hostile propaganda environment. you can cut through nonsense around birth control, trans issues, climate change.

Get into a wire-frame of mind this #ScanlineSunday with Vib-Ribbon, from PaRappa the Rapper creator Masaya Matsuura 🐰 while vibing to the same groove as his previous work, the iconic simple visuals place your focus on audio instead help Vibri through each level by using 4 buttons to stay on beat!
title screen with rainbow artifacting from my tv set. i chose to emphasize this to add some color to the picture // Vib-Ribbon for Playstation, photography on CRT TV columns, gaps, loops, and traps go Vibri go! i always found it easier if you don't get hit, the timing just seems to line up better all clear!

I was asked to give my thoughts on generative AI usage in games - here they are!
From the article: 
"I think that until the bubble bursts, AI will be used by quite a few game companies, and perhaps even beyond the bubble," says Brandon Sheffield of Necrosoft Games, which released the RPG Demonschool last year. "Look, I am not a fool – I understand that AI has some uses. Primary among those being the devaluing of work, the cheapening of labour, the laying off of creatives, and the generation of busywork for humans to fix whatever AI generates."

"It's also useful for burning through water, raising the prices of RAM and chipsets globally, and poisoning anyone near the data centres that run them. So there are a lot of use cases for AI. From spurring on the death of the creative endeavour to dissolving our economy, AI is absolutely gangbusters at what it does. We don't use it in our studio though."

happy twin peaks day!! #BRart #art
Ilustração digital feita por @livousart. Um retrato da Laura Palmer, personagem da série "Twin Peaks". Com ênfase no rosto, Laura Palmer está gritando exageradamente, com força e uma expressão insana, com uma distorção/estilização em sua boca fazendo ela ficar ainda maior e grotesca, distorções estas que parecem movimentos de um desenho animado. Também há a presença de uma grande onomatopeia de grito escrita "AAAAAAHH" bem grande, contornando sua cabeça e ficando menor até a parte debaixo da imagem.

it's genuinely stunning to me you'd keep a game in the hopper for a decade and then do huge layoffs after a single month. a month is nothing in live service terms. less than nothing.

Once again here to tap the mic and say Texas is a gerrymandered, voter repressed state, not a "red" state. And every one of you celebrating the (significant) win in Tarrant County better not be the same people in my mentions saying to throw the whole South away. There are good people fighting.

People keep saying the codenames in Metal Gear Solid sound like Megaman X bosses, so I decided to give them actual designs. Matches the scale of my other X mockups. Something I've been sitting on for several years that I finally decided to wrap up tonight. #megaman #pixelart #ドット絵

I got the message for an "extreme cold watch" in San Antonio, but now that I see Ted Cruz is headed to Laguna Beach, I know the weather's gonna get real bad. That boy really can't stand the cold for someone who sucks so much ICE.
