A hero's final rest. #lego #bionicle
A colourful drawing of line art and watercolour of bionicle Toa Tahu. The Red Orange one. Resting against a tree in the woods. At his feet are the 5 masks of all the other original bionicles heroes. A Spot of sunshine comes through the trees. Wide enough to form a circle in the shape of Tahu and ailluminate him in the otherwise dark forest. Toa is covvered in rust and dust. Leafs spout from his shoulders and mask. His plating looks old and battered. One may wonder how long he has been here.

I'm helping a friend look for a job in games, and thought I'd share job openings that seem decent as I find them! I'll be posting: - permanent roles - (primarily) UK companies that allow for full remote - not a mobile game slop factory - preference for indie, or smaller-sized AA #gamejobs

There are 24 hyperscale data centre applications in Scotland. If they're all built they'll consume over 1.5 times the peak energy demand of the entire country. We urgently need a pause to develop a national approach that works for people and planet, not just tech billionaires.
