I just think, in general, I want more places that have tiki bar vibes. I love how tiki bars have a theme and just fucking run with it. They just seem to be having more fun on every level.

Is there such a thing as a tiki coffee shop? Like, a cafe that serves coffee drinks, but with tiki vibes.

...cuz if there isn't, there really should be.

I gave a talk for Seattle Indies the other day about my journey thus far as an artist learning to code! Bottom line: you can do it!! It is so empowering, and I highly encourage it to help bring your art to life in new and interesting ways.

9. If you use Al to write something for you, it is meaningless and we'd all be better off if you had never said anything in the first place.

This is the thing: Writing is meaning. The reason we write things is to express some sort of meaning, to pass along important information, to convey a human emotion or sensation. It doesn't matter whether the writing is grammatically correct, or vividly expressed. It matters that it came from you. That is the point of writing. If you ask a Chatbot to write something for you, you are being fundamentally unhuman and foundationally dishonest. I am not going to bend on this one. If it requires an Al bot for you to express something to me, you and I are probably not actually friends.

๐Ÿ•š Very overdue for a post! Another โœจ UI overhaul, and new mechanics coming online.

This is a puzzle room prototype, where you pick up letters as you put them down! This way you can strategize for your next word, and unlock doors with word locks. ๐Ÿ“–๐Ÿ”’

Hey #portfolioday! My name's Kieran and I'm a senior artist making games at Polyarc. In my (very limited) spare time I also sculpt toys and collectibles, and I'm working on a solo tactics game project in #godot called Farmageddon. I love stylized aesthetics and learning new things.

Also feels like they thought of that name way later and were like "Well... shit. Might as well use it!"

I know Crystal Chronicles is a spinoff Final Fantasy series, but it begs the question: why was the main series not called "Crystal Chronicles"?? The name makes WAY more sense than "Final Fantasy."

Finland ends homelessness and provides shelter for all in need - scoop.me In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Why? The country applies the "Housing First" concept agains homelessness.

โ€œIn Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.โ€

It costs a lot less to house people.

one of the few things people developing it know with mathematical certainty about its output is if the bots train on it they'll rapidly go off the rails and lose any touch with reality. I am again urging parents to not feed their children information we know isn't even safe for consumption by robots

wow I wonder if the cops who lied about the sitting senator even though everything they did was on tape are also being less than honest about the presence of violent agitators at the protests in los angeles. they might even not have told the entire truth about other protests

I've been meaning to watch this. One of my best moments during my time at Funko was when I was sculpting the Pee-wee Herman POPs and I got to talk to Paul Reubens on the phone. He was critical but kind and respectful, and I could tell it came from a place of deep love and care for his product

Hey! Thanks for hosting! I'm Kieran and I'm working on a turn-based tactics game set in the post-apocalypse called Farmageddon. You are trying to grow, save, and collect plant/animal hybrid creatures while being set upon by waves of radiation-mutated bugs.
