I am going to create a source of truth that is so single

every project manager

I've learned that a lot of guys visualize our social environment like this: [image of a graph with two points] good men / crazed evil men but it's actually closer to this: [image of a graph that is a spectrum with the following points] heroic men who will intervene well-meaning men who underestimate the issue men who think predation is an unfortunate fact of life men who think certain women deserve it( but aren't active predators ) men who passively enjoy/consume/encourage predation textbook predators we're all aware of monsters so cruel we can't even fathom them

its dawning on me how much this dynamic played out in a previous relationship and how common this way of mistreating girlfriends and wives must be, without it ever being called abuse

This game is about to release into Early Access TODAY and I have a spare giveaway key. I'll post it into the replies for anyone to grab once this post reaches 500 reposts

With everything going on, a slow down in client work, having to put drawing on the back burner as I start teaching again, I have just felt really bad about life and my art for some reason

Saw my stuff for sale at the Portland Nursery today though and that at least felt encouraging

Any of you in HTX need an office chair? I'm selling my old staples Hyken model!

It's well used but honestly in pretty perfect condition, and the arms are easy to reattach. It's a little dusty from being in the garage but I'll clean it up!

I'm looking for around $80 but I'm willing to haggle.

I'm a game design genius

That said- I’m immediately looking for my next role! I am:
- remote or CA based
- 18 year veteran
- looking for principal designer, lead, manager, director roles
- love souls games, ARPGs, and MMOs
- expert systems designer, esp gear, progression, economy, skills
- easygoing, skilled communicator

Well- myself and a few of my peers were laid off this week.

Riot’s severance is generous, and I’ve got the opportunity to apply internally to a few roles, which I’m taking advantage of- and I’ve gotten some kind leads on external roles as well. I’ve got a little time to conduct a search.

ADAM, TURNING TO GOD: i feel like you could have roped me into this process sooner, there's critical context i'm missing. can you include my department at an earlier step next time?

I've seen your steam backlogs. Many of you should be hosting a Previous Fest.

How did you know my job is literally to write tasks

I think the reason everyone wants to be the next Steve Jobs is not because they actually want his success, but because the idea of refusing to communicate when assigning tasks is so delightful. No I won’t explain just do it right. Thank you.

Work in progress on the Florence painting, with only the portrait rendered

Since when it came out last Halloween, I've fallen irremediably in love with Florence and the machine latest album, "Everybody Screams", especially the song "perfume and milk". It's been a while since I haven't drawn a fanart, but this song pushed me to paint one.

Hope you'll like it !

Jan/Feb 2026 sees the publication of three children's books about Eunice Newton Foote, the 19th-century American scientist and women's rights campaigner who was the first to experimentally demonstrate the greenhouse effect, 3 years before John Tyndall did so in London.

The 40th anniversary of Zelda is all the excuse you need to submerge yourself in classic Katsuya Terada art.

I don't know what game this is, but importing the Space Marine 2 character models into it was genius.

i havent played deadlock yet but i like the sleepy creature

“But wehhh, I have to use AI to make my storyyy”
I just dropped a 60-page Garfield manga featuring all 118 current periodic table elements, which I researched individually for each design. AI’s NEVER going to give you that and I require way less water

also, when you are terribly mid at something, you enjoy it for its own sake instead of immediately trying to figure out how to monetize an otherwise fulfilling and enjoyable hobby. Normalize doing things simply because you enjoy them, regardless of how good (or not) you are at them.
