I've been a @dailymaverick.co.za subscriber for years because I want to support journalism that isn't funded by a billionaire. But they're partnering with pro-AI companies, hosting AI workshops, using AI to do research, parroting AI investors, blind to the dark future they're helping to push. :(

So I'm currently dual booting Linux Mint after being a lifelong Windows user, and instead of doomscrolling I've been reading documentation, wikis, tutorials and figuring out whether to try and make Photoshop work. Krita is starting to look really good...

@marmoset3d.bsky.social Hello! I don't see anything about the team on the website. Last I met folks from there was Joel, Andries, Mira, but they all (perhaps wisely) seem to have dropped off social media? Are any of them still at marmoset?

In honor of National Poetry Day, the greatest parody rewrite of all time:

Screen cap of parodic version of William Blake's "The Tyger" that begins:
Tyger! Tyger! Burning bright
(Not sure if I spelled that right)
What immortal hand or eye
Could fashion such a stripy guy?
What the hammer that hath hewn it
Into such a chonky unit?
Did who made the lamb make thee,
Or an external franchisee?

I played @techartjon.com's DRESSMAKER and really enjoyed it! I like the large amount of control you're given with designing your own dresses, and the textile gamefeel. The devs are looking for downloads to help find a publisher: elyaradine.itch.io/dressmaker Here are some of the dresses I made:

Check it out! This is super cool, being made by some of the people behind the awesome Terra Nil, and I really want this to get a chance to become a full game! They just need downloads to be able to prove that it can be a full project... 🥺

We've updated Dressmaker with a bunch of new things, like adding buttons and bows, viewing previously made dresses, more garments and fabrics and more! I'm making a push to get more downloads, because Free Lives is pointing at the "low" download count of 11k as not good enough to make the full game.

Watching this YouTube video of @spudcatsyt.bsky.social playing Dressmaker made me want to draw this... 😅 (I don't know what they look like and could be totally off, but the image in my head needed to be released!)

After three weeks in the prototyping oven, we've launched Dressmaker on itch! This is the most excited about a game that I've made that I've ever been and I don't think I've ever wanted a prototype to be a full game this much. I just hope enough of the rest of the world agrees. 😅

I watched an art demo by Dani Diez where the first few markings of his sketch already had me imagining what the final painting would look like. He ended up taking it in a very different direction, and I left wanting to draw the thing that I couldn't stop thinking about... 😶

Three children and a very nervous cat ride a mechanical stingray as they... uh... flee from responsibilities and head off on an adventure. The first child points a pencil forward menacingly, with a tie tied around his head. The second child calmly drinks a smoothie, his head protected by a colander. The third looks down at the view below in excitement.

This is a great thread @hillsguy.bsky.social, I'll add a bit more context here for anyone interested. Yes there's no fancy sim - it just uses a water interaction buffer as a target for the particle system rendering, so we could use the power of particle system we already have.

I've been trialing a paid search engine. Their "small web" tab is like browsing the old internet. Blog post after blog post of passionate people writing about their interests for the sake of it, not fluff and clickbait for ad revenue. I'm so tired of having to filter out so much noise.

I just finished this and it was a really good time. It's shortish but focused and has lots of personality. Felt a bit bad about plucking bugs from their habitats and making them fight each other, but it also made me more interested in bugs, so... 😅

I get this question a lot. I don't have strong views on how transmasc people should dress, but since I often get the question, I've thought about it a bit. Will share some thoughts in this thread. 🧵

Someone on Twitter writes: "Derek would you ever consider doing a thread on how transmascs can dress well and have clothing that helps hides hips and stuff? Only advice I've gotten are straight leg jeans and a boxy shirt"

Just a shout out to @meydan.itch.io who wrote the Terra Nil soundtrack. He's easy to work with, does excellent work by default, but also takes feedback very well. If you want music that can make people cry, dance, or feel anything at all, I give him the strongest of recommendations!

Being a person with deadly, incurable cancer who is nonetheless still alive for an indefinite timeframe gives me an interesting metaphor that helps me deal with things like large-scale corruption in government or commerce. Bear with me for a second while I try to explain.

I don't know how anyone gets it in their mind that writing a GDD is a good thing to do when making something for a game jam. I think of game jams as being spaces for exploration, experimentation, and raw creativity. GDDs lock you into decisions that you haven't even tested.
