I'm gonna go out on a limb here: I think this sequence was modeled on an AI video.

logged onto twitter dot com for the first time in months and it's good to know that everyone there is still dumb as bricks
a tweet with an absurd amount of likes talking about Mixtape the 2026 video game reads:

"Given the context of this now clearly being an industry plant, the ambiguity of decades in the aesthetic, aimlessly floating through spaces including a two-way garage leading into a tennis court, I'm gonna go out on a limb here: I think this sequence was modeled on an AI video"

now that everyone i know at Ustwo has been laid off anyway i can say that this is fucking shite www.gamedeveloper.com/business/-we...
"We've been a little bit too romantic about the idea that we should have employees and give people long-term job security. I think that got us into a place where, reaching the heights of Monument Valley 3 [production], contractors were always a relatively low percentage of our employee base. I think that's something we're looking to change going forward," she continues.

posted a comment that bugged me the other day so here's a comment that made me smile a whole lot. its crazy the idea that people know me well enough to recognise my style (honestly its crazy that i have a distinct enough style to be recognisable!!)
a youtube comment that reads "Started watching this and immediately knew this was max turnbull! What a crossover! (edit: I used to love seeing your art on gamedev twitter!)

i cut down my caffeine intake from 4 cups of coffee to 1 cup recently and discovered that i actually am basically the same level of productive then i tried a few days without caffeine and these were the results
a line graph where Y is productivity and X is number of cups of coffee, decreasing from 4 to 0. the line is basically the same at around 100% from 4 to 1 cups of coffee, and then from 1 to 0 it drops all the way into the bottom right corner of the image, where some cartoon flames indicate that my productivity is in hell.
