WHAT IF WE HAD POLITICAL WILL? Transportation dollars are scarce, but a new progressive mayoral administration can make a big impact without breaking the bank. Here’s my list. 🧵

DE-PAVE OUR STREETS. Car infrastructure is expensive to maintain. As we de-motorize, places like Paris show that we can peel back the layers of asphalt and concrete to create a renewed, re-humanized, and re-naturalized city.

Don't sleep on the new solarpunk colony sim from devs behind Firewatch, Mini Motorways, Gone Home and more Generation Exile has been swallowed up by the storm of end-of-year releases on Steam.

PC Gamer wrote a very generous article about our game Generation Exile:

I'm just gonna keep turning it over and over in my brain

an incentive to re-develop large parking lots, too

The Deskford Carnyx - the head of an Iron Age war trumpet shaped to represent a wild boar. The carnyx was found in 1816 at Deskford in Banffshire when digging for peat. Now part of the collections at the National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh. 📸 My own. #FindsFriday

Show me how you draw armor 🗡️

Absolutely love the hue variation you got in the textures!

wow its been over a year since i made this model. what a game changer

I've seen some friends recommended Deezer, there is a handy feature that imports your music library from Spotify

So happy for the Marinaras

this is not a walkable, affordable, livable, or climate adaptive future

but rather one that focuses most density on the most toxic and unlivable streets.

and no. EVs don't solve this. it's a geometry problem. not an engine problem.

They're still accepting students and collecting tuitions though 🙄

The article also includes a map I made of all data centers and natural gas power plants in California, including emissions from those plants.

Some gas power companies that see profit in the AI boom say they can capture their carbon emissions, and deserve clean electricity credits from the state.

Today is my last day at Blizzard! Working with the World of Warcraft team has been such a fun, positive experience. I can't wait for players to see what we made together. Now I'm looking for my next role in games, full time or contract, indie or AAA. You can check out my portfolio on my website! 🖤

HOLY FUCKING SHIT

blue pen sketch of a small forklift, though the front tines are cut off since I couldn't see them in the photo. It doesn't lift very high, because it doesn't seem to have the front array other similar machines have.

a zoomed in photo of a small forklift parked in front of a platform, likely something it moves often. It is yellow and black, tines going into the platform.

Today I study this lil fella! I was halfway through before I realized I was looking at the back and not the front...

Comes from my previous sketch inside Hoover Dam. Turned it to make a better study. #oseiarts

A fucking gorgeous bikeway in NYC, paved, separated, bollarded, and bordered by lovely trees and bushes buffering the space between the bike lane and adjacent sidewalk and car road on either side.

We need an environmental movement that builds things*

*bollards, concrete barriers, vegetated buffers

I grew up in the foothills outside of Port Angeles, Between the Elwha River spill and the fires I've been having a very specific form of grief for the ecological destruction facing the area where I also once called home.

Sending you and your family much love and support Keezy

A large fortress sits atop an rock at the center of an asteroid belt. Two characters look up at the fortress from one of the smaller foreground rocks. A comic panel in the center of the image shows a close of the characters.

First prototype is done. Some tweaks to make but think we cracked it at this scale. Who would be interested in purchasing this as a high quality large scale model?

big thanks to @locusdio.bsky.social who did the dirty work on this!

Done. Let me know what you think?

this is a great summation of how much the mayor watered down the comp
