The "developers" I know outside the games industry use the word as a synonym for "programmer."

My knowledge isn't super up to date regarding specific models, but my current machine's been doing great. It's a Janome HD.

I chose it because it was low-tech (no screen or electronics likely to break or get surprise ads in a software update) and because it came in all black.

Then you'll definitely need denim needles for your machine, but you can change those on any commercial model.

AI can help authors beat writerโ€™s block, says Bloomsbury chief Publisher last week reported jump in revenue in academic and professional arm thanks to AI licensing deal

People who arenโ€™t writers think writerโ€™s block is at least as big and real a problem as I thought quicksand would be, as a child.

Hey there. I see youโ€™re interested in food. Well, watch out, because every food tastes different. Just because one food tastes good, that doesnโ€™t mean a different food will taste good too. Well, thatโ€™s all. I think youโ€™re ready to start your food journey. Come back if you need that info again.

Netease just went straight to my folio to copy/paste elements of my personal work to create their official concept art for their Wakanda map.

I tried to get answers for a while but no replies from them so here we are.

Drugs are cool but have you ever had a localization manager tell you that a line you were nervous about is really funny and in-character

I am 100% pro inappropriately sexy, tits-out designs, provided you can make me believe the character got up that morning and put that outfit on

Itโ€™s wild that half my career has been spent on projects that never shipped. They either got canceled or the studio shuttered. I donโ€™t mourn them with the exception of one sci-fi project that was so stunning. Years of work down the drain. I did get a couple Chris Foss sketches out of it though.

I have a theory that when designing a social simulation / generator, it can be useful to keep in mind a story youโ€™d like your system to be able to organically generate. not every system should generate the same story but I have a short list of high-salience interesting stories I reach for. (1/2)

video games are all about meeting a little elf

finding yourself fifteen years later saying "ah... the
