Does anyone else find the speed at which true crime documentaries are made now deeply disturbing? Like i like true crime to an extent, but when you're releasing a diddy documentary like 3 days after that shit went down or making a luigi mangione doc before anything has really happened it just 1/2

I have no beef with smartphones, but it always saddens me that the introduction of the iPhone killed off the ecosystem where designers made the most mind bending, incredible phone designs known to man. It was approaching pure cartoon sci-fi back then, and was replaced by rectangles.

Today Civ 7 officially released, and I’ve seen a ton of people on my feed installing, anticipating, playing. It’s been an honor to be the game’s narrative director and to design the emergent narrative system. Surreal feeling to see all this, honestly.

BWUH where did you all come from, did someone add me to a starter pack or something Anyway hello new people, I am currently on a brief skeleton hiatus but my name's Seb- I'm a Chicago based indie dev/artist/organizer! I focus on 2D animation, writing, and sometimes even music. Here's a cat.

Maybe the coolest orange cat you've ever seen, wearing a denim jacket and holding a gameboy looking ahh device attached to a wallet chain with a pigeon charm dangling from it. He wears torn jorts and holds a greasy bag of Demon Dawgz in his other hand. He wears some sick shades and has Chicago star branded earbuds in.

all my issues with civ 7 so far are just a really rough usability, the fundamentals seem great so far; it's wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy easier to polish usability than fix broken fundamentals, so I think they made good production triage calls here, frankly.

once again thinking about this passage from David Lynch's book Catching the Big Fish

excerpt reads: "I hear stories about directors who scream at actors, or they trick them somehow to get a performance. And there are some people who try to run the whole business on fear. But I think this is such a joke -- it's pathetic and stupid at the same time.
When people are in fear, they don't want to go to work. So many people today have that feeling. Then the fear starts turning into hate, and they begin to hate going to work. Then the hate can turn into anger and people can become angry at their boss and their work.
If I ran my set with fear, I would get 1 percent, not 100 percent, of what I get. And there would be no fun in going down the road together. And it *should* be fun. In work and in life, we're all supposed to get along. We're supposed to have so much fun, like puppy dogs with our tails wagging. It's supposed to be great living; it's supposed to be fantastic."

It was beautiful

Mr. Lynch has lived in Los Angeles since 1970, in the days when he swears he could fill up his Volkswagen with gas for $3 and ''really live a good life'' for $200 a month. ''I love L.A.,'' he said, smoking a cigarette and drinking coffee from a mug in his diamond-shaped indoor-outdoor painting studio as birds chirped frantically in the background, a haze burning off to reveal his view of the city below. ''I feel a kind of freedom here. I love the light and it's a place where there's this feeling of all possibilities.''

''When I came out here I arrived at night,'' he continued. ''And when I got up the next morning and I went outside I had never experienced light that bright, and it thrilled me. It was like happiness coming into me. It was beautiful.''

howdy howdy I'm Wurm Fud/Seb and I do a lot of art, but mostly I focus on pixels as my primary medium, illustrated and animated. According to the rumor mill I also work on games occasionally and am known to make my own (according to the dark voices of the aether). #portfolioday #pixelart #indiedev

Pixel art of seven skeletal monsters; in order from top to left: a skeleton separated at the joints and dripping in slime, sludging forward; a gravedigger with lantern raising a shovel into the air as another skeleton emerges from the ground in front of him; a human in blue-silver skeletal relief armor wielding a spear; a tomb facade in the shape of a skull, with a burning candle in its mouth, resting on a piece of uprooted, hovering ground; a lycanthropic skeleton in rags, with a broken silver sword stuck in its ribcage; an urn with a skull stopper and ribcage relief with ash swirling around it in the semblance of limbs; and a skeleton in a wide-brimmed hat kneeling on one knee, holding a rat skeleton in one hand and a cage with a second rat in its right- a third rat skeleton peeks out of the basket on the ratcatcher's back. Text reads "Wurm Fud" in each corner.

Pixel art of a floating chunk of land at night, with a single figure smoking a cigarette. Town and highway lights dot the dark fields below, and the silhouette of a large skeleton crests on the horizon.

Pixel art of a large horned skull attached to a spine, with impact affects around it.

Pixel art of a worn down shed in the evening light, overgrown with weeds. An old lawnmower rests inside.
