this was a great write up. I've been curious about Penpot for years, and I'd been hoping it would find some attention. I'm curious to see how collaboration feels I like figma, but my company is paying for it, so @penpot.app seems like a nice alternative for personal projects

Yay to the team! Congrats on the Xbox Ally release! Exciting times for PC handhelds.

Hades 2 is perfect. Amazing story, and characters. It's art direction is so inspiring. Here's a pub painting I squeezed in while taking a break lol. #hades2 #fanart

Playing Hades 2, I’m so impressed. The entire package, from the music to the characters and backgrounds, as well as the gameplay itself, is exceptional. I highly recommend it. Trying the new procreate brush update. They seem nice but I’ll stick to the brushes I like. #hades2 #fanart #procreate.

My first Pixel art wallpaper illustration. This was done for a work project. Drew it on procreate, exported with pixaki to scale it up. had a lot of fun with this, pixel art has a different set of challenges. #wallpaper #noai #pixelart

It used to be that a company was seen as successful when the headcount increased. Soon it will be reversed, firms will be rewarded based on how few employees they have.

What do you mean? How would that complicate licensing?

I'm searching for genuine discussions and information on AI's role in deep work within the design field. If there's a community focused on meaningful exchange rather than just monetizing the trend, I need to find it.

My team was just decimated by layoffs

Figma's product announcements were fun. The site builder being separate from the ai tool seems kinda odd long term

There's a movie coming through!!

The AI images going around right now are so tacky.

Super Saiyan wife. I'm not sure what's going on with the background here, but I really like the dithering that this brush made. more #supernote sketches

Wow only like 2 shades used and so much depth. Great stuff!

Late night sketching while working on a figma plugin I'm also making. #supernote

A black and white digital sketch of a person in a retro-futuristic spacesuit. The person has a gaunt face with one visible eye and is looking directly at the viewer. The spacesuit features a clear domed helmet, thick segmented arms, and various tubes and dials.

Could you imagine if Nintendo dropped an animal crossing game with the switch2

#supernote sketches. I use the empty book as my wallpaper.

What if there was a billionaire lottery system and every year a few lucky billionaires get to foot the bill for all of America's medical debt.

Nick M @phingdraws.bsky.social · 21/03/2025

Totally agree. Its just not a good 'deal'. Some platforms are also too opaque with their cut too.

Watching invincible season 3 is so good! #supernote sketches. #invincible

Ryan's Woof idea was actually good tho. we need federated notifications!

moving away from PS, and it seems that CSP is the only alternative? how do i pay for this? what's with all the versions and plans. drawing has gotten too complicated.

Nick M @phingdraws.bsky.social · 12/03/2025

I get a small sample when we have these broad discussions internally at work, but it's not packaged well and we can't share it externally.

Nick M @phingdraws.bsky.social · 12/03/2025

I read this and I loved it. And I agree I would love to read and listen to more discussion here. Given the huge amount of technical exploration that LLMs get, it's shocking how little we talk about the idea of interacting with a computer at a fundamental level. Great work @wattenberger.com

True but also back in the day there weren't so many Indies. Only big publishers had the connections to platforms and retail outlets. So financial success had a higher barrier. Goodole days aside, it's never been a better time to make your own game and make enough from doing it to keep doing it.

Nick M @phingdraws.bsky.social · 12/03/2025

Good context and examples. Games that are intended to be sold need to find ways to balance "art" and "product".

Nick M @phingdraws.bsky.social · 12/03/2025

Where does AA fit in here? Indies with publishing contracts? Are indie titles not a business?

dont forget your DUNS numbers, your piles of NDAs and proprietary tooling per platform!

curious how Kojima will turn walking with a toddler into a game mechanic. I cant walk a block without mine trying to run into the street, trip, or want to just play in the dirt.

A Supernote with a reading light?! I get that my iPad would do this job better but I'm really into the way sketching feels on this. And a bright iPad screen in my kiddo's room while he falls asleep isn't very subtle. #supernote #sketching

My friend had intermittent vertigo. He rubbed his temples and in front of his ears for a few minutes and he said it helped. Feeling dizzy and nauseous sucks!

I just got a supernote the other day! It's pretty great! I like your pencils.

It's kinda strange the way it is.
