Labour can only do one thing to stop Reform and it's make positive material changes to people's lives. That's it. That's all they have to do.

Being a digital artist is exhausting 🤷‍♂️

"The UK is very good – much better than most European countries – at integrating migrants, because most Britons, and most migrants, want integration... The rhetoric and policy we saw yesterday will take us backward to a much uglier, and more dangerous, place." www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Is it appropriate to call my therapist as ive just been exposed to some material setups off free assets from the blender marketplace. Anyone using the "mix shader" node without very good reason should be sent to the hauge.

FUN FACT: Since 2019, Nigel Farage's Reform has taken more than £2.3 MILLION from oil and gas interests - making up an astonishing 92% of the party's donations. Reform are NOT for ordinary people. They're in the pockets of the big oil lobby.

I should do some postprocessing here but there is something nice about photos straight from the film

Oh God I made the mistake of airing the opinion that valves "hands off" approach might not warrant taking almost a third of all pc profits. Whoops.

What is the lifespan of software? What if you make software that's silly and full of whimsy? Will people remember it? Anyway, here's a video someone recently posted of “Good Luck, Babe!” by Chappell Roan performed through the composer feature in Mario Paint, a game released on Super Nintendo in 1992

I'm not sure if tech art even if my primary occupation anymore or if it's a side gig as I'm a full time cat dad.

Do work on a Monday morn? Or pet the cat and call her unintelligible names.

It's rare that I see an entry-level writing job in games so I wanted to share that Media Molecule is hiring a writer. www.brightnetwork.co.uk/graduate-job... On site in Guildford.

Fellow tech artists; should we start insiting that the dept is called the TArt dept? (and that if you break file name conventions you have to buy pastries for your sins)

It's a straightforward relationship: high #inequality leads to the triumph of the far right. It will keep winning until governments deliberately seek to make societies more equal. I'm looking at you, Keir Starmer. This week's column. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Genuinely required reading, something that "makes sense" in a way little else I've read does.

Off to @gamestalkslive.bsky.social in a bit 🎉 If your in scotland well worth attending IMO :)

Its grea that blender is open source and all, but sometimes you wish they stopped breaking convention just to break convention. going from houdini to geometry nodes is *infuriating*; really no excuse to have such worse UX with 4.0s flagship feature.

Not to be a wide-eyed naïf about such things but... am I right in thinking that they levelled an entire building to get to one guy and *that* is not controversial to anyone in the American media or political class, only that this information was recklessly shared in an unsecured chat?

Ignore the terrible choice of header image, this is a great read. We cannot both be a defining medium of the 21st century, and also 'just games so don't perceive us'. Games won't make anybody fascist or violent, but the communities grown inside and around games clearly can.

I fired this off about Joe Russo a couple of years ago. Dude is anti-art, anti-intellectual and anti-human. And he's somehow become more loathsome.

Any pub or show not running or reporting on this comment right here is absolutely caping for this administration. Everyone knows education is the most kitchen table ass talking point ever and specifically saying disabled kids shouldn't have access to it affects so many families
