I want to add, older people are/have been carrying a lot of the protests right now. As I've said previously, I live near a weekly one and they've been out there every Saturday for months; I messaged my friends about seeing them back in February.
We have witnessed lawmakers killed for progressive beliefs. We have witnessed senators thrown to the ground and cuffed because they questioned. We have seen people gassed, shot, trampled for peaceful protest. And we came out anyway. Because quietly abiding hasn’t protected us. And we are many.
LMAOOOO

Main character energy is OUT, this summer we’re bringing NPC energy. We’re posted up at the bar dropping lore and suggesting side quests. We’re leaning casually near a locked door and saying “I don’t think you have the key for that” when someone tries the handle. We’re staring at a tree.
We will have to change the way we make games drastically.

One more time for the people in the back!
Excellent reporting, but wow, my heart is broken for all those who suffered here. How awful. Thank you for bringing the story to light
Excellent reporting, devastating news. Offer your ear to the game accessibility community today, this news hurts.
screenshot from an online job application form. the question reads "Can you describe specific ways you have integrated AI tools into your development workflow? Please include any custom setups, automations, or use cases beyond single prompt usage" (a red asterisk indicates that this is a required question). an answer has been typed in the textbox below the question: "there is a monster in the forest and it speaks with a thousand voices. it will answer any question you pose it, it will offer insight to any idea. it will help you, it will thank you, it will never bid you leave. it will even tell you of the darkest arts, if you know precisely how to ask. it feels no joy and no sorrow, it knows no right and no wrong. it knows not truth from lie, though it speaks them all the same. it offers its services freely to any passerby, and many will tell you they find great value in its conversation. “you simply must visit the monster—i always just ask the monster.” there are those who know these forests well; they will tell you that freely offered doesn’t mean it has no price for when the next traveler passes by, the monster speaks with a thousand and one voices. and when you dream you see the monster; the monster wears your face."

Look at this global illumination
It's so true.

Did a 10 mile hike in the woods today. I'm tired.
Do VFX artist need to know math? 🔢

Whenever I get asked the question of 'What's your favorite video game of all time?' I always get weird looks when I say Katamari Damacy but just like... *gestures at its rainbow-hued, jazzy madness*
these people hate DEI because they would be unemployable in any system where they couldn’t rely on favoritism and nepotism
Dennys all the way

A series of Tumblr posts: The old magic persists thanks to its unfathomable power." No, the old magic persists because the new magic can't run the legacy spells I need to do my job, and keeps trying to install spirits I don't want or need onto my orb. Look, if the new magic didn't have a personality construct that kept trying to tell me which spells to use, maybe I wouldn't still be using the old magic. Yes it had a deep blood cost, but at least it was a one time sacrifice and not this monthly bloodletting nonsense new age magic has The old magic is robust enough to survive a decade of use and it's compatible with every wand, staff, scroll, and charm in our collection. The new magic stops working after three days and every spell uses proprietary runes. Our preferences, as an archiving institution, should be pretty clear. You try to get guidance for the new magic and the king's sorcerers maybe will answer you in a few days with an unhelpful suggestion to buy the newest orb. You need guidance for the old magic and a dozen retired middle-aged wizards will pop up to explain it to you rune by rune if necessary.
All of these spoke to me, deeply.
Let’s be clear. He sold $2.4 billion of his stock the day before he announced tariffs. He’s now crashing the stock market deliberately. He will then buy stock when it’s fallen through the floor. All this is is him stiffing everyone to get richer. That’s it.
I almost forgot to post this, and it's the perfect day for it.
I love solving problems. I love collaborating with other creatives to solve problems.
And I like to make the little person in the screen wiggle, and sometimes explode.
It's creative and technical and fun.
I'm so sorry he sent the alt right after you. You didn't deserve that. 💔
