They always tell you how amazing it feels is to be the parent of a loving child 🥰🥰🥰 But what they DON’T tell you is how amazing it feels to put that child to bed at 8:30pm to then have the rest of the night to do whatever you want 🥲🥲🥲 🎉

Long Legs is the movie equivalent of the David Cage game Indigo Prophecy. Phenomenally compelling, thrilling, creepy, first 2/3rds that utterly and completely falls on its face in the last third. Very disappointing.

Over the last week or two I rewatched season season 1-4 of Breaking Bad (on season 5 now) and it cemented my opinion that Better Caul Saul is the superior show.

Imagine idolizing the worst people on the planet and then truly believing they have your best interest at heart…

Story time! In my firs ever full time gig as a junior env artist I was tasked with making a thick metal sign that was going to be hanging in The Secret World. I didn't know how easy it would be to create text in 3D, so I decided to make it an alpha card instead... 1/

This is a sentiment only parents might understand but today I chose how to interact with a machine specifically on how loud I knew the buttons were when I pressed them and that’s a level of critical thought I never thought I would have to utilize in my brain.

Finally getting enough sleep and free time to work on side projects again, which feels great! (Being a Dad is hard work!) Here are some WIPs of my latest UE5 environment! #UnrealEngine5 #GameArt #EnvironmentArt #3DArt #WIP #UE5

This thread went absolutely viral on twitter- reposting again here cuz I think more people need to see what a shitshow Google AI is turning out to be 😵‍💫

Politics and policies aside- I find it so bewildering that you could look at Donald Trump and with pride think to yourself, “yup… that’s my guy”

Okay so this is wild. I just got a call and voicemail from an attorney who is calling to complain about content in a video game that “his son and his friends are playing” (Conan Exiles) - Weird. 1/

Art tests in game dev often harm diversity and fail to reflect real skills. "It’s time for the game dev industry to evolve and adopt hiring practices that truly reflect the collaborative nature of our work."

Was lucky enough to be featured on the official Game Developer Blog! Please enjoy my article titled: “Why art tests fail artists and the game dev industry”

How it feels to be a game dev in 2024

Yesterday, my Father, and one of the brightest lights this world has ever known passed away at the age of 68, losing a battle to a cancer we only found out about 3 weeks ago. Please read our story consider donating if you can. gofund.me/ed46aa6f

I’m at the cardiologist and I heard one of the receptionists say “[…] and if she actually does that, it’s going to be World War 10” … Yall … did I miss something??

For the first time in many months I had a panic attack today. It was very intense, and typically it would have lead to me wanting to go to the ER. 1/

If you think about it Tea is just leaf broth.

I used to think that everything happens for a reason. It doesn’t. Everything happens. We create the reasons.

I’m not a huge Kaiju fan and I’m not a huge Godzilla fan in general BUT GODZILLA: MINUS ONE IS MY FAVORITE FILM OF THE YEAR. Absolutely phenomenal. Literally can not say enough about how good that film is, so I won’t and will instead just say: SEE IT.

Literally my biggest toxic trait is working in the level before making sure it's not checked out. When I tell you I do this EVERY DAY 😅

Never been more excited to be a Jets fan than right now!! Please don’t mess this up!!! LETS GO JETS!!!

If you’re working at a studio owned by Embracer… I am so sorry. I couldn’t imagine living with that level of instability, chaos, and uncertainty. Sending good vibes to my Gearbox homies and the rest of the Embracer-owned crews ✌🏽 🫶🏽

“Pearl” was very very very good. 10/10 Thriller/Horror with stunning visuals and incredible acting. Mia Goth is built different.

Best feature of iOS - you can shuffle your phone background hourly with pictures of your cats that it automatically detects from your photo library 🙌🏽 💕

Excited to announce that today is my first day working with Skybound Games!! Skybound Entertainment has published multiple amazing projects across comics, games, shows, and movies but I am excited to be joining their start up game dev studio as their first environment artist!

Today is my last day at Obsidian Entertainment! Wishing Obsidian the best in all their future endeavors!✌🏽🫡 Not yet ready to talk about what is next for me, but in the meantime taking a little bit of time to mentally, spiritually, and emotionally recover from this extremely hard year.
