Im a small voice in a big world but if any folks in games are looking into next steps for themselves in their game making journey I'm always more than happy to talk cooperative studio stuff.

Solidarity and condolences to the folks laid off from Marvel Rivals. Thankless, thoughtless, unforgivable institutional betrayal that is now the status quo in our industry. You all have many great things to give the world. You will get back on your feet, to spite the bastards.

One of my favorite things I recently special interested about - the malicious compliance of Otto Wagner's Vienna Secession government buildings. 'Oh, I will make the most neoclassical building you've ever seen!" (Dont tell them about the other shit)

There's a petition to ban conversion practices (targeting LGBTQIA+ people) in the European Union. We need one million signatures, and we currently have 180,000+. If you live in Europe (even if you don't), spread the word ! 🌈🔥✊ eci.ec.europa.eu/043/public/#...

Dear folks, looking for inspiration and information! Been thinking about kinds of rewilding of man made natural spaces and monocultures - what kinds of processes, projects and attempts at this would you like to see in a post climate world on the mend?

Hey Devs! Anyone with networking experience in UE5 willing to lend some advice or do some consulting with us? Currently researching best ways to approach two clients interacting with a shared entity, with prediction.

I gotta say, the scariest narrative tabula rasa I've encountered is working on fiction depicting a radically alternative side-future. I find myself falling prey to the deceptive notion that valid future visions need to be all encompassing, totally above criticism, perfect, elegant - {1/5}

Notes the first few weeks of 2025 from the perspective of running a coop - 1. We put the "ass" in General Assembly 2. Mondays are at risk of being a big meeting/hangout 3. I love these people

20 years ago we were suing teenagers for millions of dollars because they were torrenting a single Metallica album and now billionaires are demanding the free right to every work in history, so that they can re-sell it. The law only ever serves capital.
