01: A girl labeled 'Artists' is holding a drawing tablet and pen under her arm. She is wearing round glasses and a blue sweatshirt. She has messy dark-brown hair and a brown skin-tone. She says "We don't really wanna MAKE A.I. art." 02: A guy labeled 'Art Enjoyers' holds his hand out while speaking. She is wearing a purple and yellow hawaiian shirt with a floral pattern over a white t-shirt, and has red hair and a light skin-tone. He says "We don't really wanna SEE A.I. art." 03: Behind them both, there is a cute girl in a business suit with a pink tie. She is blushing a bit and has pink eyeshadow, and looks upset. Her messy shoulder-length hair is parted in the middle, and held by two hairclips: one that looks like a red arrow pointing down, and one that looks like a green arrow pointing up. She says "Um ... I-Isn't there someone you forgot to ask?" She is labeled 'Shareholders'. 04: She puffs up her cheeks and pouts, a tear is on the verge of falling from one of her eyes. 'Artist Enjoyers' Guy is now in front of her yelling "AH!! SHAREHOLDERS-CHAN!!" while 'Artists' Girl is in front of her yelling "WE'RE SORRY WE HURT YOU!!!!"

I was BEYOND excited that Simon & Schuster chose me to do the copyediting on Kamala Harris's new book. I'm legally bound not to show you too much before its September release, but they allowed me to share a small sneak behind the curtain at the process of editing such a monumental work.

If compliments make you feel super awkward, this comic is for you When someone says something nice about us, it can make us feel awkward and uncomfortable. Researchers explain the science behind those emotions — and make the case for accepting genuine praise.

seeing people hit by the layoffs today who have worked in the industry for DECADES. one guy had worked on fucking STAR WARS GAMES FOR THE SNES, another had been at blizzard since starcraft.

that kind of continual experience in the industry is like gold dust, and MS are just throwing it in the bin

Photo of a book on a bookshelf in a shop. It’s by the late Pope Francis. Large picture of his head together with the word ‘Hope’.

Wow, what a horrific typo. Right on the cover.

Apparently most of the remaster was done by an external developer, Virtuos.
Without taking away resources from the TES6 dev team, this brings Elder Scrolls back on people's radar after a long time of radio silence. Fingers crossed this means we get some updates on TES6 soon then! 🤞

YouTube video by Chucklefish Witchbrook - First Look Trailer

Our first Witchbrook trailer is finally out!

I've been working on this game for five years and it's been such an incredible time! Can't wait for you all to see even more!

Looks incredible! Had it on my radar a while back and jumped out of my seat when I saw the trailer during the Nintendo Direct! Looking forward to play this when it's out👏

YouTube video by Robin-Yann Storm This 'Skateboard to Car' image grinds my gears

"Now throw it out and make it the way you need." is, to many folks, the Agile way. They see that as a good thing, rather than a bad thing.

It doesn't work well, because like you say: You can't test it until you have the real product. youtu.be/-HMoOa1kkBc?...

Cover of a tutorial on how to implement Laplacian Texture Blending in Substance Designer

I wrote something: www.artstation.com/blogs/hauket...
Implementing Laplacian Texture Blending in Substance Designer. Very niche topic, but it's helpful to have it in your toolbox when creating/combining materials

i'm absolutely devastated man... 52...

i don't use the word lightly but antonov was an actual visionary. his eye for art direction was unlike any other and has been so incredibly inspiring. one of the few who's work you could instantly recognise.

this is heartbreaking

I installed the Windows XP skin for Serum lmao

This isn’t the first time this has happened. Someone who had worked at Blizzard for 21 years doxxed me in a right wing of gaming server held up of gamer gate roaches. It’s disgusting, it shouldn’t happen and it shouldn’t be accepted.

never forget what they took from us!

Tiny #pixelart thing of the day! Changed the perspective for a change and tried using more saturated colours.

a green tenement-type building in pixel art

Little #pixelart tenement numero 3! Couldn't spend much time on this one, but i definitely feel like i'm slowly getting more comfortable with @aseprite.org! Looking forward to experiment more with different shapes and colour palettes next time

tenement type building done in pixel art

Ok, continuing my little tenement #pixelart obsession!
Perspective and composition is a bit shaky, but that's okay for today!

Two tenement buildings in pixel art. Left house is in a lower resolution and less detailed, while right one is more detailed

I really forgot how calming pixel art can be! It's been a while, but it's so much fun!

Hmm, what is the dominant source for where readers come from? If it’s Birdsite, it’s far less used outside of the non-journo/creator/media bubble in Europe
