video games right now: half the people I know are out of work and the other half are in DMs with me telling me things like "yeah so Lobster Guy (guy at my studio who does no work and puts a live lobster into other people's cars as a prank) was moved to another project so HR can avoid firing him"

A tweet of a breakfast that says "Buttermilk pancakes with blueberry lavender compote topped with whipped maple butter and local heather honey" and a picture of these ingredients.
A quote retweet that says "Going to Dennyโ€™s and ordering the Annihilation breakfast", because the picture looks like the scene where there's a person spread on the wall full of colorful fungi.

corporations being able to control what kind of art we're allowed to see on the internet is bad

VILE: Exhumed may be banned for sale, but I refuse to let that stop people from playing the game.

Itโ€™s now available, for free, at WWW.VILEISBANNED.COM

Please share the site, share the game, and fuck anyone who tries to control storytelling and expression.

Building a team for a massive AAA game is hard, challenging work. I would not recommend it for most people - but seeing the collective vision come together through the sheer will and talent of every artist is more fulfilling than anything I could model or texture alone.

Another year completed at TNM. It's been a whirlwind four years and I'm incredibly thankful to work with such a talented and passionate team. I was the 2nd artist hired and now the Env dept is over 30 people. I interviewed (and directly sourced!) much of the team.

As I've mentioned before. Revenue is up YoY. there is no shortage of revenue. The games industry's revenue dwarfs every other popular entertainment medium.

My pals at @vidiots.bsky.social created an interactive experience during the film breaking fakeout scene in their screening of Gremlins 2: The New Batch last weekend. It's even better than what I had hoped to do in 1990! ๐Ÿ˜

Linked In post from Mike Matsel, Principle Development Lead, XBox Graphics: 

"The XBox Graphics team is hiring folks with experience with device drivers, GPU performance, or related validation or engineering system experience. If the positions are closed and you want to apply, please message me!"

And below it is an "AI" slop that reads in white on green "XBOX GRAPHICS IS HIRING" and an image of a woman in a green sweater wearing earpods typing on a computer, except the "AI" has put the screen on the back of the monitor.

The fucking head of fucking XBox Graphics used a fucking "AI" slop image to hire new engineers but couldn't tell that the fucking screen on the fucking monitor is facing backwards.

HEY SEVERAL PUBLISHERS, PICK UP ROMERO GAMES' PROJECT AND THE ENTIRE INDUSTRY WILL LIKE YOU. MAYBE SOME YOUTUBER WILL MAKE A DOCUMENTARY ABOUT HOW YOU SAVED ONE OF HIS FAVORITE STUDIOS. JUST SAYING.

an AI slop map of the united states that seems to be trying to indicate what the most popular food is in every state. it contains such gems as Alaska's favorite food being a reddish slab labeled "ALASKA", Oregon's favorite food being what looks like a steak sitting on top of a cereal bowl labeled "APPLE", California's being simultaneously a goblet full of red liquid labeled "SHRIMP COCKTAIL" and a beige slab labeled "TATO", Wyoming's being a crudely drawn bison labeled "WYMONG" and an oblong apple on Alabama labeled "CRANFISH". There is also a square to the right of Florida that just says "SALMON" for no reason.

Yeah, as a casual fan thatโ€™s generally burnt out on Marvel now, it really charmed me. One of those things thatโ€™s somehow way better than it has any right to be on paper.

A new Xcom campaign is never a bad idea. If you havenโ€™t tried it, Midnight Suns scratches the Xcom adjacent itch nicely, especially if you have any affinity for Marvel.
