This is awkward, but as of yesterday I'm no longer employed with Nightdive Studios. I'm currently looking for full-time work and would be happy to share more info via DMs. I'm also open to freelance work!

Concept Artists Say Generative AI References Only Make Their Jobs Harder “The ‘early ideation stages’, when worlds are being fleshed out by writers and artists, are literally crucial to the development of a game’s vision,” said one artist.

We spoke to a dozen professional concept artists who are currently or have previously worked in game development about whether generative AI image tools have made their jobs any easier.

Zero said it did. Most said it made things harder.

Happy patch day/hello new hairstyle @en.finalfantasyxiv.com

This entire situation is shocking as homicide is looking into this. Like, oh my god.

Genuinely feel like the world is working against me lately even though I’ve also had some good things happen. Idk. Maybe this is a weird early mid-life crisis happening.

Never did I have Tom Morello collabing with Final Fantasy XIV on my bingo card but hell yeah 🔥🤘

Genuinely hate this this

Not to beat a dead horse, but I don't have rent money for December, a way to get holiday presents for my kids, money for medications, or groceries. If you're hiring or know someone, please pass my name along.

Been running a Fabula Ultima game and the FF vibes are there but also a bit of LoZ Tears Of The Kingdom as well.

What is it like playing #TTRPG with you as a GM, Nate?

Expect Final Fantasy influences as they’ve been a major source of inspo for awhile.

The LA city council just voted on a major change to sharply lower annual rent increases in rent stabilized units — 660k apartments — to between 1% and 4% depending on inflation. Story to come

Great fucking job, Schumer.

I'm single. No kids, no claims, no pre-existing conditions. The cataclysmic leap from paying $50 a month to $1,228.28 a month is a level of devastation the depth of which I'm struggling to articulate. I wasn't going to be able to afford when I thought it was going up to $350 a month. And now...😵

Important to understand this. There's a reasonable chance that your Dem Senator who voted against it and is acting mad now was in on the play. It's the same reason why they scheduled the surrender for AFTER the election this week. They didn't want people pissed at Dems right before an election.

Tonight was a very bad night.

Hello, Final Fantasy XVI.
Already loving what I’ve played so far.

Voting is the coolest

When people hear that I'm returning to part time work they often ask "are things not going well with your art?"

The only truly ethical response that a self-described artist can make. Anything else is a betrayal of one's colleagues.

An astonishingly large crowd!

When you see Perfect Blue is playing on the big screen you buy a ticket and go immediately. Much needed movie outing on my day off.

Yoga/stretching everyday is a literal lifesaver. You’re back and body will thank you for this later down the line.

When I was a kid, bedtime was 9 pm.
I couldn't wait to be a grownup so I could go to bed anytime I wanted.

Turns out that is 9 pm.
