I think environment artists are safe right now.

Storyboard: The struggle of choice in MMORPG stories

Contrary to popular opinion, story-focused MMOs can actually work super well - FFXIV, Warframe, Secret World. But they don't offer you much choice in their stories, do they. Let's discuss why in this week's Storyboard:

Méliès shot first! Pioneering filmmaker Georges Méliès is widely regarded as having produced the first science fiction films, as well as having originated the art of cinematic visual effects.

Do not be discouraged when you fail at something new. If it was easy, its value would be as low as the effort spent to obtain it. A true warrior knows that sometimes you have to work hard to make it look easy.

📢A GIGANTIC limited-time sale on potion bundles, bags and bag bundles is going on NOW!🎒

original Star Trek Lower Decks Moopsy design that looks like a load of bread with a face and feet. Purple dry erase marker on whiteboard.

Lower Decks pals just reminded me I designed the original Moopsy, which I had totally forgotten. The artists love to laugh at me for my crappy drawings. Enjoy.

Half Life 3 confirmed. 👍

Also, hydration is important. 💧

So, Xan and I were floating a casual D&D campaign to our 3yo and 4yo, and when discussing alignment, they both declared they want to be Bad Guys. Told Xan, "Welp, I guess you're doing the diplomacy." He replies, "You mean cleaning up their messes." #D&D #5e #KidCampaign

Turns out, we’re missing a few bards, and not just that one. Only 1.82% of all players managed to earn 100 gold from playing music. PlayStation players are more musically inclined (or Platinum-motivated), with 2.26% of all PlayStation players having earned this achievement! 2.07% of players wobbled their way to victory, defeating twenty opponents while drunk. PlayStation players were the ones most often drinking from the bottle, closely followed by Steam players. 3.87% of players managed to defeat Gortash in Wyrm’s Rock without activating any traps. Steam players had the fanciest footwork, with 4.37% successfully avoiding triggering traps. 2.30% of players managed to multiclass their way through every class in a single playthrough without asking dear old Withers for a helping hand. 1.1M players have completed Baldur’s Gate 3 in Tactician Mode.

We've seen you embrace characters, rewrite the rules, and make the world your own for two years, and we’re still in awe of your support.

To celebrate, we’re sharing the rare achievements and the even rarer choices that you’ve been making!

Meme with Star Trek: Deep Space 9's Garak telling Sisko: "Go ahead, take me to horny hail. Everyone there is horny too."

I personally feel like they should be drawn with only consideration of population and geographic lines, not by political party. It's the best way to get an appropriate representative for the AREA is if it reflects the area, and not a jigsaw puzzle piece.
