Kinda Fucked Up that in our lifetimes we've gone from "never share personal info on the internet" to "hand over your identity to the most incompetent corporations imaginable".

Had to move whole communities before and will do it again.

for probably the last time i did some tweaks to the player sprite to animate more nicely on the inbetween animations and generally just have a better shaped head. 8-way sprites are hard.

no further spinning wheels on these sprites, they're good enough now ahaha #Addlemoth #gamedev

Holy hell that's awful. I'm so sorry. If you need a recommendation or anything else please let me know.

Its happening!?

6 years ago today, Granblue Fantasy: Versus was originally released on PlayStation 4 in JP/AS. It was developed by Arc System Works and published by Cygames/Sega.

I used blueprints plenty even as a programming lead, but on the other side of this I worked on a last gen console port of a title where all the gameplay code lived in one giant character actor blueprint. Thousands of functions. Prettiest blueprints you ever saw though!

Who could have seen renting instead of owning being bad path to go down?

Funny part is designers in Japan are often required to do this job as part of their muti-role "planner" position. Actual production roles are more rare.

There are a lot of roles in game dev where someone bad in a role can do damage, but a bad producer can be so unbelievably damaging that it truly would be better to have no one in the role at all.

Just as good producers are force multipliers, bad producers are like throwing sand into a gearbox.

Congratulations to your Top 8 Vampire Savior at #FFXVIII2026!

Good Fuji Morning

Forgot Frosty Faustings was this weekend so won't be streaming today.

Man I wonder why coders, famed for enjoying writing code but hating reading code, aren't taking to the tool that turns them into dedicated code readers for the hallucination machine

Heyo, anyone in my network available to do key art? Also looking for recos 🙏 shoot me a DM and I can give you comparable examples

If you disagree with GenAI being used for art in games but think it's ok for writing code please think again. I've worked with amazing programmers that have contributed big time to the creative side of our games. The same goes for QA too if you think that's also ok to be automated away!

Overall: 28% laid off in the last 2 years
US: 33%
Design/narrative: 20% in the last 12mo (most impacted discipline)

48% said they haven't found a new job, and the survey admits these numbers are likely an undercount.

Fun fact: the survey would boot you out if you'd been out of work >2 years.

The only solution to fix a rotten institution is to dissolve it.

Gonna try to do a longer stream this Saturday to make up for the lack of them these past few weeks. Burnout is hitting early this year.

I had an idea very late at night #darkstalkers

The people of Minnesota have executed one of the most impressive civil resistance campaigns I can remember:

- Organized a city wide general strike
- Maintained nonviolent discipline amidst violence
- Mobilized 10,000s in subzero temps to protest and watch ICE
- Flipped public opinion against ICE

FUCK OFF

The Washington Post published a clear video of federal agents removing Alex Pretti's handgun moments before he was fatally shot. There's nothing in the video to suggest Pretti even reached for his weapon.

"Law enforcement doesn't assault anyone" is very telling.

Absolutely not and never.

BWEH!

to young people: you may at some point have heard about the Y2K problem. some people may have told you it wasn't a big deal

i need you to understand the only reason it wasn't a big deal was that everyone spent loads of time fixing code before it could become a problem, which is why it never did

Check out Hisako from KI since I worked on that character.
