Found a social media format for my client that works well on any short-form video site - as it leads to both high retention and engagement. This did 169k on Insta, 94k on Youtube and 91k on TikTok.

Don't get me wrong, I like Expedition 33 and agree they deserve most of their awards, but it feels like awarding best indie game to multi-million budget games is meant to water down what the term means so EA, Activision and other big publishers can start releasing their "indies"

Do NOT engage. Do not quote dunk, do not screencap. Do not @ with your witty zingers. Give them not one breath of oxygen here. Block, ignore, move on.

Porth Wen Brickworks - a very Ghibli-esque place. I know that Miyazaki visited Wales during pre-production for Laputa and I wonder if he visited (or at least saw pictures of it)?

How do you deal with redundancies? "We did hire the people who were made redundant back," reflects Spilt Milk Studios' Nicholas Lovell. "People might say, 'You should have carried that cost yourself'. We just couldn't, it would have killed the company." www.gamesindustry.biz/the-painful-...

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars. OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

An illustration of three cats. The first is captioned “miao”, with a black cat screaming. The second is captioned “mischief”, with a calico looking unimpressed with a potted plant knocked over in the background, leaves and twigs sticking out of her fur. The third is captioned “manipulate”, with an orange cat doing a flop while winking.

I love the way art creates more art by existing. It's like a microdosed religious experience. You get moved to creation. If I see an amazing painting, I have to paint. If I read a great comic, I have to make comics. Good art awakens something inside of you that you have to let out.

One annoying thing about being a content creator these days: for most platforms it’s not enough to make good content that’s optimized for the algo anymore, but you also have to be an active user with your content creator account (TikTok, Reddit).
