Snow Bear has won 30+ awards around the world.

What began as a very personal story told through 11,000 drawings & 3 years of work has grown far beyond what I ever imagined.

Thank you to everyone who’s supported this film. It truly means the world. ❤️

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems... SIMON: What? SHAPIRO: ...Or saying... SIMON: You imagine that? SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over. SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level. SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this. SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

Fuck all the way off. Fuck off to infinity and beyond. Fuck off to where no man has gone before. Fuck off to a galaxy far, far away. Fuck off there and back again, except don't come back.

Love the 'suddenly cant animate' days

Sketchbooks filled with scribbles I wanna finish

In the four years I've been at IGN I've watched its staff shrink and shrink, all while those who remain are asked to do more and more. I see colleagues skip lunch, stay late day after day, and burn out.

IGN staff are passionate and love their work. But we can't keep letting that be exploited.

Happy Birthday to Psychonauts 2! It's been 4 years since the sequel to Psychonauts dropped, if you can believe that.

FYI, You're all currently attending a big Psychic Subconscious Birthday Party right now. You don't realize it, but we assure you, you're having an amazing time!

💚🧠🎉

I Need Help Hey guys. I'm in a bad spot. I've BEEN in a bad spot for a long time. Close friends have known about these things for a while, but I’ve been struggling with opening up about them for a long time. I fe...

"X official thing looks like AI"

No, the AI has been stealing and leeching of X thing.

Nothing thats hand made 'looks like AI'. The AI stole from them and is posing as it.

If people really want to be against big corporations using AI, then make sure you understand what you're even saying 😫

Here's another showreel!

If i ever manage to buy a house, i wanna turn the back yard into a native paradise. Get rid of the lawn, the pavers etc.
A nice deck next to a pocket of wild sounds amazing.
I want all the birds and critters to be my neighbours 🙏

Ive played games that balance it really well. I dunno how we got so far from that. Would be interesting to know if its something devs choose or are expected to do by forces above.

I like it when characters chat as you play single player games. I dont mind in game dialogue giving hints if youre taking a long time to do something.
But i really really dont like how a lot of games are solving puzzels for you or giving those hints at an unreasonable rate. Let me explore first :c

Today, IGN Entertainment announced that it would be laying off eight members of the IGN Creators Guild. This is 12% of our bargaining unit, and comes just days after our sister union, the Ziff Davis Creators Guild, underwent similar layoffs impacting 15% of their members. It also comes just months after our multibillion-dollar parent company, Ziff Davis, instituted a company-wide buyout that shrunk our unit numbers, with the express intent of avoiding future layoffs. And it comes just a little over one year after three of our members were laid off almost immediately after our union went public. The company has told us that the reason for this layoff stems from a Ziff Davis-mandate to cut costs despite several quarters in a row of year-over-year revenue increases, to which IGN Entertainment responded by coming for our members' jobs. This is perplexing to us, as we are told again and again that IGN Entertainment has had a tremendously successful year thus far thanks to their hard work. In just the last few months, our members have been absolutely essential to major events and livestreams, including San Diego ComicCon, Summer of Gaming, and IGN Live. Every single person impacted today was involved in and critical to the success of those events. Meanwhile, IGN Entertainment continues to spend money on costly acquisitions, only to turn around and gut those companies in the same way it is cutting away at IGN itself. For instance, last year, it acquired Gamer Network, and almost immediately laid off a number of staff critical to making those sites successful. The company has not responded to the union's questions about whether its budget for future acquisitions is being reconsidered as a cost-saving measure alongside these other apparently necessary personnel cuts. At a time when it is more necessary than ever to support its creators, IGN Entertainment is choosing to eliminate the individuals who ensure IGN remains competitive as generative AI

threatens our reach. We have been told that expert opinion pieces, original interviews, and work that leverages our staff's deep knowledge of gaming, tech, and entertainment are all essential to combating AI summarization and regurgitation of our work. Management has responded by cutting several individuals who do that exact work, as well as others whose job it is to ensure that these written and video pieces are published in a speedy manner — another component of combating AI we're told is critical. This continued cycle of repeated, aggressive cuts to our staff and being asked to do more with less, only for management to continue to spend on new business it isn't interested in sustaining cannot continue. We will enforce our interim agreement that guarantees better severance and other protections to laid off members, as well as demand additional support for those impacted. We will continue to bargain over our first contract with the aim of enshrining even better protections against further layoffs, working conditions continuously degraded by understaffing, and the encroachment of generative AI. And we won't stop fighting to ensure IGN remains the best destination for trustworthy, original, exciting, and creative work covering video games, entertainment, and tech. While IGN Entertainment management may not value us, we value one another and the incredible work we can do together. Behind the articles, videos, social posts, playlists, and maps of IGN are human beings, not just numbers on a spreadsheet to be pushed around when some number at the top isn't big enough. Without us, there is no IGN.

Today, IGN laid off eight extremely valuable members of our union and workforce via directive from our parent company, Ziff Davis. This, after two incredibly successful live events IGN Live and SDCC, and yet another corporate acquisition.

Just learned about the Tatzelwurm, a sort of half cat/half lizard creature from European folklore, and found them incredibly fascinating. Couldn't help but draw a kitten version of one, since I couldn't find any out there.
