A barren planet with dark clouds in the background. The scene is lit by a figure in sci-fi armour raising their hand, projecting a golden orange sphere depicting a map, and orbital patterns. Text indicates this is concept art for Mass Effect Andromeda. The artwork is by Brian Sum.

To those who fight for the Milky Way, and those who dream of far-off galaxies... Happy #N7Day πŸ’™

A graphic from an old BioWare Blog - a banner for N7 Day. The text "N7 Day: November 7" is shown in white and red, along with the N7 logo, set against a backdrop view of Earth from space. In the top right hand corner white text reads "#N7Day". Stars speckle the sky above Earth and a classic Mass Effect lens flare beams across the center of the image.

The billionaires can buy the newspapers and buy social media and buy attack ads, but they can't buy their way out of how much we fucking hate all of them.

I've been working in sketchbooks more as part of a class assignment; here are some of my recent sketches πŸ‘‰πŸ‘ˆ I've been trying to draw what comes to me in the moment, and not worry too much about the output or making everything perfect, but also put time into each to make it feel 'done' as a sketch.

I do not want to enable location services. I do not want to create an account. I do not want to sign up for special offers and news about your product. I would like to engage in a simple transaction where I give you money in exchange for a good.

One of these rich dudes invested in a food company with all proceeds going to kids in need. The other started Sundance Institute, boosting the lives of countless artists. Hey modern rich dudes, don't be a typical greedy AI crypto-prick, be like these two.

Charlie Kirk’s Legacy Deserves No Mourning The white Christian nationalist provocateur wasn’t a promoter of civil discourse. He preached hate, bigotry, and division

The Nation pulls NO punches, from @espiers.bsky.social

"There's no requirement to take part in this whitewashing campaign. Refusing to join in doesn’t make anyone a bad person. It’s a choice to write an obituary that begins β€œJoseph Goebbels was a gifted marketer and loving father to six children.”

A lot of video-game publishers spend hundreds of millions of dollars chasing after "realistic graphics" and "massive open-worlds" when what players really want is just a shitload of weird little guys

AI impoverishes us at every step of the process: 
- data centers pollute our environment
- energy use drives up costs
- content theft robs creators of income
- the actual output is used to displace workers and depress wages
- using it harms our mental health and impairs our competence
- the flood of AI slop is damaging our sociopolitical landscape

All in service of making a worse product - and world - to enrich a handful of already spectacularly wealthy people

Nostalgia is a toxic impulse but also I miss the time when tech trends were things like "let's put everything in a translucent colored plastic case" instead of "let's add software to everything that lies and also accelerates climate change"
