Stop using AI for placeholder assets.
Use sketches. Use lorem ipsum. Use bright pink materials. Use programmer art for fucks sake, literally anything else.
If your studio is using AI even for temp, even if they think they've covered their tracks, SPEAK UP because people WILL FIND IT

Here are some long curls I made. The hair cards were placed by hand with the help of Maya's nonlinear deformers.

Iโ€™ve shared a bunch of realtime hairstyles lately, and all of them will be part of a hair tutorial Iโ€™m putting together. Itโ€™s been a slow burn, but Iโ€™m excited to pick it up again.

The amount of people I know who have been laid off from games industry jobs and are deciding to leave games entirely as a result is not only extremely saddening (of course), but also genuinely scary. We have lost legitimately thousands of years of knowledge and experience in the last four years.

We donโ€™t use generative AI at Strange Scaffold and I can confirm that a *lot* of other studios are notโ€”whether indie or AAA.

Get outta here with this normalization bullshit.

Sure, every* game company** is using AI... but using it well? Is it actually helping with ANYthing? Or is it driven by a need to have AI deliver early on the promise of substituting for human labour because there's no other problem it solves?

* not every, not by a long shot
** as opposed to studio

Artist be like if I shift this line 0.05 cm to the left, increase overlay by 2%, and move this characterโ€™s head slightly by 3ยฐ will make a life changing difference that everyone notices

A photo of a newspaper advertisement, showing a zoomed in photo of a hand holding a Pilot brand fountain pen. "Make AI Jealous" is written in Japanese next to the hand, with "Write what AI can't touch" in English underneath.

Pilot had a massive ad spread in a jp newspaper with "make AI jealous" and "write what AI can't touch" written on it

Anyway I think everyone should own a Pilot kakuno pen

Japan's "Mundane Halloween" costume contest is back!

Each year website DailyPortalZ holds a contest where people dress up as something super duper ordinary.

Here's a thread of some of my favorites from the 2025 contest!

EA's AI Game Development Tools Are Apparently So Bad That It's Costing More Money To Fix Their Mistakes A new report suggests that EA's pivot to AI is just causing costly mistakes, and the developers hate it.

If only everyone could have predicted this

Really, truly amazing that OpenAI wants us to believe that they are worth a trillion dollars but also they are so desperate for revenue that they created an infinite SlopTok app that opens them up to a billion lawsuits just so that they can maybe someday make it even worse by filling it with ads.

Atsu (based on Erika Ishii from Ghost of Yลtei) and Ellie (from The Last of Us Part 2) sit on a cliff, making music. Atsu plays a shamisen and Ellie the guitar. A large wolf lies relaxed between them, eyes closed, one ear turned toward Ellie. A huge iconic mountain lies in the background, and yellow-orange ginkgo tree leaves swirl. The entirely hand-drawn, digital illustration looks like an ink work and is entirely in black and white; only the leaves and the kintsugi-repaired mask on Atsu's belt are yellow-orange.

I really enjoyed working on this image! Congratulations @suckerpunchprod.bsky.social and @erikaishii.bsky.social on the release of Ghost of Yลtei! ๐Ÿงก

It looks stunning, and I can't wait to play it myself!

Give folks their flowers

No, I mean right now. Go tell someone you loved their work right now. They're on social media just say it, it has never been easier

"They know how much people love--" no they don't go say it right now to a composer or artist or game dev or writer or anyone AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH
