One of the most poisonous pieces to any creative process is when the “ideas guy” uses his undeserved yet pungent sense of confidence to convince actually useful people to go crazy fixing all these problems he creates. Then, if it happens to work out, watch this man take as much credit as possible.

I like Bluesky but it's still a pale imitation of Twitter in its prime

Lots of people have moved over here, which is great, but the game animation community isn't what it used to be, and some of the most prolific animators are still posting away on X 😞

FINALLY finished this personal animation I've been working on! It's been a big learning process for me! Glad I stuck with it and got it finished! Most I've animated in a while!

In the northern hemisphere the hay bales are always on the north side of the tower

I haven't played the game but I have the soundtrack and I know exactly which song they're talking about

I like how Pete Docter has that extremely unfortunate pull-quote that new Pixar films will shift away from directors' personal stories to focus on "stories with clear mass appeal and universal themes" only for Sony Animation's extremely specific "KPop Demon Hunters" to become a huge hit

This (impending Australian law) is so poorly thought out. We only recently let our two eldest kids start watching YouTube "on their own" (in our line of sight) and I set up accounts for them specifically so I could set limits on what they could view, turn off auto-play, monitor what they watch, etc.

Suddenly I want curtains that look like this

When I think "privacy and safety", the first thing that comes to mind is a robot kraken bed

This is so wholesome, and I loved the interview format--it was great to see a proper post-mortem analysing the whole experience and summing up what was learned from it

Well said!!

It's so good! I'd forgotten how much I loved it, and how formative it was in my childhood

Somebody should probably check Tintin for signs of CTE

My kids have been getting into the Tintin comics and we've been watching the animated series together

I've realised that Hergé was largely to blame for my early understanding of many "adult" concepts, e.g., chloroform and head impacts are 100% safe and reliable ways to render somebody unconscious

Mp5 wip! :)

Also, AI isn't "taking" anybody's jobs, the blame for that rests entirely on executives who don't understand or value what their employees do, and are looking to make a quick buck at the expense of people's livelihoods.

Screenshot of an ad for AI training (whatever that is) on Codecademy on Reddit with a meme image that says "AI can't take your job if your job is to use AI"

Pretty gross ad by Codecademy on Reddit

I work with people in the Bay Area and this absolutely does my Australian head in

Haha I love the headcrab ref

Steelcase Leap V2 is great. My first fancy chair was a Herman Miller Aeron, which is nice, but it really punishes you for slouching.

Panther / horse comparison of the 4 main quadruped cycles - walk, trot, canter and gallop #animation

Yeah we grew up on cartoons made in like the 40s without even knowing it and I don’t think we appreciate how cool it was to have a shared frame of reference.

Yes! Why would you admit this to anybody!

I remember when asking questions of random people on the internet was considered a Bad Idea, now you're asking an unreliable computer program designed to pretend it knows things, that was trained almost exclusively on random people internet answers??

This process always happens, but the number of children you have to kill varies based on how well/early you have planned things

Game development is all about creating and raising lots of children and then deciding which ones to keep feeding when you realise how little food you have

Here’s my reference for some of the shots I animated on KPop Demon Hunters.

This sequence of shots was particularly fun because it was a rare opportunity to explore Jinu’s goofy side 🙂

More Viewmodel practice. Always been a massive fan of Halo! Wanted to give this awesome DMR model a spin.

Thanks to CorkScrew, Haydn, Xander and Pat for the feedback :)
