With Tron back in the spotlight, Legacy for love and #tronares for, uhhhhhhhh well not that. I am here to remind everyone that the best thing to ever come out of Tron as a property is the Tron Uprising Cartoon. And a big reason is it has a gleefully horny Villain x Hero thing going on. Hope on peak

And shout out to @b00mrang.bsky.social for creating CRASH in the first place, @chrisofthedead.bsky.social for helping me get adjusted to the rigs, Athena for her awesome mod work, the other crew for the awesome shit and also @nocontextrvb.bsky.social for repping CRASH to RVB fans

(3 months late) Getting to animate on a proper Crash episode was so cool. RVB is so foundational to me, and CRASH picking up the torch for it, never thought I would get to work on something like this. Especially with how awful things have been in #animation lately

A source familiar with internal workings at MasterCard notes the company is paying attention to calls around the payment processor issue. These calls continue to make the company uncomfortable internally

It's strange, but I truly thing the best bit of animation I have done up to this point is her hair in this shot, particularly the end when she snaps into fighting stance. All hand animated. Am I out of my mind for being so pleased with it? #animation

Its hard to understate how god fucking awful things are in the #animation industry at the moment, so good news however small is extra important right now. Joining @b00mrang.bsky.social's CRASH Machinima team has been an amazing experience. Couldn't ask for a better crew

This is a fully independent animated feature film done with blender. Production budget of about 35k out of pocket with animation by me. Post-Production budget of around 100k thanks to kickstarter. Total budget: 135k. Even this release is indie with me trying to figure out it out! 3 years to complete

Adult games can no longer launch in Early Access on Steam. This is devastating for small projects (like my own!) because EA can be a much-needed lifeline while games are still in development

James used it as a springboard to say they should g egg rid of trusts, but thatโ€™s not what the actual video is about at all especially sense that wouldnโ€™t be relevant to overworld stuff bsky.app/profile/thes...

Paypal ramps up NSFW censorship by beginning to go after not just adult creators but also customers.

In a lot of ways, this is even more terrifying than the adult creator bans. With them, it's only me at risk, but how do I navigate a space where putting a game on Itch might put customers at risk?

Thats fine. its hardly a game breaker or anything, Could have been far worse, like I said I enjoy it all as individual parts, but as a total package I just found it to be to idealistic and jarring when going up against the new world building. Still a really special game

Which just doesn't exist in Rebirth. Its to clean. There's a very sharp line and as long as your not an Executive your completely in the clear, which flattens it to much for me, especially when so much is done with the World building going the opposite way

Thats sort of what I mean, to be clear everyone I mentioned, the girls etc. In a vaccum I actively like basically all of them. Its when I think about them all together that I have an issue. Because again no evil regime in history gets anywhere without plenty of fully bought peons who reveal in it

No evil empire/corporation in history has ever gotten anywhere with just the head honchos, willing enablers exist at every level, they have to. I just wish the game had more variety between Shinra people who are stuck with no choice and those that reveal in it. The latter just not existing is goofy

Its not that there are altruists working there, its that EVERY relevant NPC that isnt a board member is one. Like again, even the guy who doesnt like working in Nibelheim is still willing to help for no gain. There's no friction at all. It's just as cartoonish as them all being evil would be

31.08.2025 04:37 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Nibelheim, Midagar 7th, there commander, Middle Manager, Roach, Hojo's girls, every part of the company that isnt the Board members is actually a swell person in Rebirth. Which I feel undermines Shinra's evil. No evil Org gets that far with just its leaders. Vile middleman exist in every regime
