The Lucas Museum of Narrative art blew me away. First time I have seen a Moebius in real life. Incredible.

Been improving the flow of my digital figure drawing. Procreate on ipad mini Modified "Waratah" pencil. Mimics thick/thin of conte. "Tidewalker" watercolor for finger smudge. Custom kneaded eraser. These let me hide the ui and never switch size/opacity/brush.

Figure Drawing, done in Proceate. Designed to look like Conte crayon.

Ted Chiang on AI: www.theatlantic.com/philosophy/2...

Being open to the possibility that LLMs are conscious is the same as being open to the possibility that Microsoft Word is conscious, or, more precisely, that multiple distinct consciousnesses are dormant in every Word document containing a conversational transcript, and that they are awakened every time the document is loaded. Should you consider the possibility that every time you open a Word document you are bringing multiple conscious interlocutors into existence, and every time you close one you snuff their existence out? No. Contemplating that scenario is not a good use of your time. Even if the Microsoft Office team employed a philosopher who said you shouldn’t be so certain, because consciousness is not well understood, that would not be sufficient reason for you to take this idea seriously. We don’t need to fully understand the nature of consciousness to definitively say that certain things are not conscious, and conversational transcripts fall in that category.

Ever noticed how Subnautica 2 has almost no seams? In the sand, on the rocks, in the cave walls. None! Check it out next time you are swimming around! 👀 Being able to say I had something to do with this game has been such an honor!

Hey! All of you playing Marathon, share with me one (or more) cool stories that you have experienced while playing the game. Try to keep them short (one post per story, please) and know that I might end up using them in a blog. Thanks! (Sharing this post is appreciated!)

Hello! New free rig: Hornet, Silksong. Modelled and textured by Igor Oskolskiy. I loved the model approach and recreated the intro of the game. Download it from: milio-serrano.gumroad.com/l/ykoral 4k video: vimeo.com/1130369517/9... @mgear.bsky.social @unrealengine.bsky.social

I'm still working on my YouTube video about a cheap erosion filter, but I've been tinkering with improving it as well. I recently had some nice breakthroughs overcoming various limitations of the original filter by Clay John and Felix Westin, and I can't wait to tell you all about it. #ProcGen

Eventually I want even quick poses to feel artistic, but for now I will settle for construction.

Trying to bring a little more anatomy into my figure drawings instead of just vibes.

Figure drawing focused on the Thorax. In Conte Crayon

Am really excited to see a triple A attempt at an extraction shooter. Bungie’s Marathon could be the game that finally cures my Tarkov addiction.

Built a new conte crayon brush in procreate. I wanted to capture the breadth of conte, from thin dark lines to large blocks. Pretty pleased with how it turned out! These sketches were all done without switching brushes, changing size, or changing opacity.

umberto eco's sentiment about buying "too many" books absolutely applies to games 🙏

picture of Umberto Eco in a room of wall-to-wall books that says:

“Umberto Eco, who owned 50,000 books, had this to say . about home libraries: "It is foolish to think that you have to read all the books you buy, as it is foolish to criticize those who buy more books than they will ever be able to read. It would be like saying that you should use all the cutlery or glasses or screwdrivers or drill bits you bought before buying new ones. "There are things in life that we need to always have plenty of supplies, even if we will only use a small portion. "If, for example, we consider books as medicine, we understand that it is good to have many at home rather than a few: when you want to feel better, then you go to the ‘medicine closet’ and choose a book. Not a random one, but the right book for that moment. That's why you should always have a nutrition choice! "Those who buy only one book, read only that one and then get rid of it. They simply apply the consumer mentality to books, that is, they consider them a consumer product, a good. Those who love books know that a book is anything but a commodity."
