When I was growing up I actually didn't watch many movies. I didn't care that much about movies at all. But once I found a camera, my brain started FIRING THE FUCK OFF amd SOLVING PATTERNS dude. It just made sense to me.

I began to love movies after that, and started catching up in college.

I think a lot of people just mindlessly think they want to recreate the things that bring them joy. I knew a few "animators" in college who definitely actually hated doing animation, they just liked watching it.

Even if I didn't enjoy a story or th dialogue, I WANTED TO MAKE MOVIES so im thinking about where all the lights are. Where they must be to make the shadows like that. How the hair has an outline making them easier to see, where is that light?

If your brain ain't doin that you don't wanna make SHIT

I didn't really know where to start, so I watched whatever my textbook talked about. I didn't like every one, but I never had a problem finishing them because I wanted to make movies?? Like how the fuck do you wanna make movies and not have 1000 thoughts to process every shot??

When I was in film school back in 2013, I watched 4-6 movies almost every weekend. Though it did help that we had three day weekends!

I actually can't believe Resident Evil Requiem is only like a month away

This one really looks like it could slam all my fave shit about modern RE games together perfectly

⚠️ NEW VIDEO ⚠️

2025 was another amazing year for indies but there were too many that didn't get anywhere near as much attention as they deserved.

Here are 5 of my favourite underrated titles and a montage of 129 upcoming ones, so get your wishlists ready!

Easily the background spritework I think about the most. Idk if anything I saw in pixels as a kid stuck with me as much as this scene here

Now "you can do ANYTHING" just means you can move the character to any X/Y/Z coordinate.

I meant to say Skull and Bones. Sea of Thieves was a little bare at launch, but it wasn't a DISASTER like Skill and Bones was hahaha

Every new Elder Scrolls updates fidelity, UX, and makes the controls more contemporary. But they also remove actual gameplay features each time too. We want games that DO things guys.

Most Elder Scrolls fans I know that have been playing these games for 15+ years all conclude that Morrowind is their favorite because you can actually do the most things in it

"Beyond good and evil 2 still lives according to Ubisoft creative director"

"Beyond good and evil 2 still lives according to Ubisoft creative director"

At this point I wouldn't be surprised if it launched in the same state as Sea of Thieves

Love this pair of shots in The Thing '82. By now the audience is expecting something to appear in that negative space behind Macready, but it doesn't happen and the scene is allowed to fade out. The scare is delayed for a couple minutes later when Fuchs encounters the jumpscare instead.

All the gravity and movement in that game is so much fun!!! I still boot it up every now and then just to fly around.

Screenshot of a tweet: "My son's drawing of 'safe'. " 

Attached is a child's drawing of a kid happily sitting between his protective parents on a bed.

Comment says: "Safe" is more profound and emotionally impactful than anything AI could generate

When we first took home Mr Pickles as a kitten, he was so shy and scared. Kept his distance and hid around all day. But at the end of the night when we went to bed, he crawled up between us just like this. He felt safe.

Nothing generated by Al could EVER connect two lived experiences like that.

If the Bloober countdown actually turns out to be Rule of Rose, that'll actually be remarkably interesting.

You know id be playing it be one, good OR bad...
