Junior game dev peeps - something I would advise doing is I would keep a list of each new thing or responsibility I do in my job. Just a doc somewhere where you can add stuff to it as you work. Only needs a bullet point per thing. Makes it easier to update your CV and means you wont miss anything. 👍

Have now sailed past my 24 year industry anniversary. A few more titles to add to the image below but can't find the .psd I did of this at the moment - classic.😅

A screenshot of the post I put up on LinkedIn earlier (posting due to character limits on here) regarding the stuff going on in relations to the doxxing of RNLI volunteers (of which I was one for a number of years). Beyond angry about what some of the volunteers are now going to have to deal with.

Finally got round to providing a regular monthly donation to the Blender Development Fund (after many years of using it). But better late than never of course and hopefully donations like this can keep this wonderful software free and accessible for all ❤️. @blender.org fund.blender.org

Dust 2 is probably my favourite MP map of all time and is tight as hell in terms of layout and design - here's a fab @noclipvideo.bsky.social vid on it. #essentialLDlevels youtu.be/FWWhxfGq_yk?...

If you're a Level Designer or an aspiring LD you really need to be playing Titanfall 2 and/or the Dishonoured games. Some excellent levels in those. Would be good to see some other good examples of games and specific levels in this thread to take note of #essentialLDlevels

Did Alien War only the once and remember it being awesome. And yeah the amount of arcade machines in that place was unbelievable. :-)

Not a game project but I recently built a pergola and privacy screen - somewhat creative I guess (designed in Blender) 😁👍

Spent the first 6-7 years of my life in Wivenhoe (just outside Colchester) and we used to go to Clacton a fair bit - I think it was the first time I ever went in an Arcade which started my love of all things video games. No point to this anecdote other than just a warm fart of memories :-D

Wow - Musk is the first trillionaire then. Does that mean he wins? Do you know what though - he should donate all his money to good causes and do it all again just to prove it wasn't a fluke. That's what I would do.

All this shit going on with these twats terrorising people in their homes and generally being all round fascist numpties, and this is the one occasion most right minded people wouldn't bat an eye at a few mounted baton charges. 🤷

Just spent some time designing and printing off posters for the doors in Dad's apartment (which is within our house) so he can orientate himself as to where his living room, bedroom and bathroom are. Dementia is a fucking cruel disease. 💔

It's him but it's also those currently in charge of the PLP who have crushed any dissent or voices that don't tow the line. The Labour party used to be a broad church, getting left right and those in between. But now there is only one voice from it and that voice, to be frank, fucking stinks.

Ok Star Wars game idea time - the gameplay and good/evil systems of Infamous but with the art style of Maul: Shadow Lord.

The art direction and execution in Maul: Shadow Lord is utterly stunning. Amazing work to all those involved! 😍😍

The only hope is that the right wing vote is split between the Tories and Reform and that less fascisty candidates can sneak in - but it's a fools hope I fear.

Rob Shaer @robshaer.bsky.social · 06/05/2026
Tomorrow in my ward I cant vote for a Green candidate but I sure as shit am not voting for the Tories or Reform candidates... so I guess with gritted teeth I'll have to vote for Lib Dem. Where I live it is highly likely to be either of the 2 numpties that get in though but I'll do my bit regardless.

That's a Tamar class lifeboat - I was on the Bembridge RNLI crew for 6 and a bit years and we had one of those (and a smaller inshore D class),

It's ok - I'm sure if there is in fact a high power they also don't consider him a Catholic (or indeed whatever religion he now considers himself).

Nope not in my ward - loads of greens elsewhere on the island though thankfully. Given the demographic of the island I’m fully expecting the reform idiots to take the council 🤬🤬

Rob Shaer @robshaer.bsky.social · 14/04/2026
So in the local elections in my area I have a choice between Reform (absolutely no way in hell), Conservatives (see previous answer), and Lib Dem. That's it. I may vote Lib Dem as I feel it's a fundamental duty to take part but it will leave a bitter taste.

ok great - apparently my reply to a comment on a BBC article to do with "UK now 'ready' to seize Russian shadow fleet ships" which was clearly written by an anti immigrant idiot is declined. Yet at time of writing the original comment is still up. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Check out the top 2 comments on the Beeb online aricle about this - these look almost identical and I would wager are made by bots - the Beeb need to look into this imo.

The top 2 comments on the #BBC article about Refugee status' being changed look very similar. Isn't it about time they had a different, more stringent vetting procedure for users to leave comments. These look nigh on identical and smack of being created by bots. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The Blue Shell mechanic is awful, much better solution would be to increase power drops for people lower down the standings, or the ability to steal a power up from someone in 1st place. Fucking someone over because they are doing well is dog shit - lift everyone else up so they can compete better.

I'm re-reading the entire Game of Thrones series in the vein hope by the time I've finished George will have released the next book (3 chapters a night so will take me 115 nights). I'm imagining I'll be able to read all the other Westeros books too before that happens mind you...
