PANEL 1: A shirtless tattooed wizard in sweatpants walking to a mobile home. WIZARD: "What's this now?" PANEL 2: Wizard in closeup. WIZARD: "Problem is most people have tangled up their idea of wizardry with a pastoral never-was England." PANEL 3: Wizard in medium shot, smoking. WIZARD: "But, well, Indiana needs wizards, too. An' maybe it ain't the worst thing in the world if we had more wizards who c'n change the oil in a car." PANEL 4: Close up side view of the wizard's face, still smoking. WIZARD: "Like ev'rybody *loves* Gandalf. But Gandalf'll never teach a local kid how to shoplift baby formula to help his momma." PANEL 5: Wizard in medium shot, looking down. WIZARD: "Nah, people don't like magic around. Reminds 'em they *could* have a different way of doing things than the one that hurts em so bad, an' lotsa folks can't handle that."

Senator, I’m a constituent in Washington. There is no reigning in an extrajudicial organization like ICE that feels they have the authority to murder citizens in the street. You must move to abolish ICE, and prosecute.

For those outside the Twin Cities, the person posting this GoFundMe is a member of Minneapolis city council (and among the many locals doing absolutely heroic resistance to ICE), so it's legit.

Really wonderful overview of some of the workflows you all used! Its always such a treat to see how folks built stuff. The lumen lights and stroke-foliage-brush in particular were really intriguing!

Hey! My job at Moonshot got fragged last week and I am now looking for a new role making stylized Environment Art.

I'm really sorry to hear that Lucas - I've always been a big fan of your work. Hope you find something new very soon!

In love with the tone and earthiness of all the art I’ve seen so far - very excited!

Hey game narrative designers, wanna work on something for Meow Wolf with Devon? Yeah. Yeah, I think you do.

Awesome stuff Robert! Really love the sense of scale looking at these shots.

Gorgeous work! I love all the hue variations in the tree in particular!

Congrats to you and the team on the launch! Excited to jump back in soon!

... also A+ character selection.

Checked out @deadstaticdrive.com today - not sure I've seen something so immediately stylish and suffused with atmosphere in a long time! Very dreamlike experience so far...

SEATTLE!!!

We’ve now taken the lead by 91 votes! 🤯 This thing is certainly not over! Over 1,000 ballots have been challenged, so if you haven’t tracked your ballot yet get on it! Our trusty volunteers have been working hard to "cure" ballots so they count! We're so close!

And we have an exciting candidate too! Felt like a big surprise to see that low a turn out.

I wouldn’t trade the experience of working with the team at HSL for anything ❤️ 3/3

I’ll always hold a special place for the game we worked on at Hardsuit - it was certainly rough around the edges, and probably an over-ambitious project for a small, green studio - but it also had a ton of personality poured into every bit of it, and a lot of characters I fell in love with… 2/3

With the release of Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 recently, I’ve been thinking a lot about the time we spent with it at HSL. The version put out by the Chinese Room looks really stunning and I’m excited to try it, and I’m so happy they brought their vision of it over the finish line... 1/3

Let's help those hurt by the halting of SNAP food aid benefits. We'll be collecting non-perishable food and encouraging folks to donate to the Rainier Valley Bank on Saturday, Nov 1 noon - 3 pm at Cal Anderson Park in Seattle. DM me if you'd like to volunteer. cascadiademocratic.org/event/snap-t...

If you've ever faced food insecurity in the past: you know how it stays with you. Things are about to get tough for 40 million people. If you're in a place where you can donate some money (or TIME) to your local food bank, please be really intentional about it in November.

Seattle paid for shelter beds that it left vacant despite a massive need for housing Early last year, the city signed a $2.7 million lease extension to continue using a hotel’s rooms as shelter space. Yet despite committing to pay the rent, the city stopped sending people there.

By December, Seattle taxpayers were paying a hefty $4,200 a month per empty room — at a time when thousands of Seattleites were without a roof over their heads.

Had a great time playing this with my partner one evening by candle light when we lost power in a storm!
