Sharing an old lil side piece I did a while ago to get some VFX up on this platform.

I love Jack-O's and it was just after Halloween, so I made a haunted, explodey one. 🎃

Wow! Look he posted on bluesky!

Here's a thought: Go DO something useful to actually help stop him from deploying troops.

You fail us every day. Step aside, find some new work, and let someone who actually wants to attempt to care give their energy.

Someone shot up my kid's school today, and our governor is paying tribute to a guy who thought that is an acceptable price to pay for having the Second Amendment.

Jared Polis has failed Colorado.

Charlie Kirk spent his life‘s work and all of his energy and time targeting out-groups while arguing for a world in which gun massacres would be easy to enact, plentiful, and inevitable, and he became famous and wealthy doing it, and we’re now not supposed to mention that because it’s not polite.

They’ll ask you to mourn the deaths they mourn, and no others. They’ll ask you to cherish the lives they cherish, and no others.

when gun violence happens to children at schools it’s not political it’s just the cost of freedom in america. when it happens to a guy who makes his living in part by telling people that gun violence is the cost of freedom in america gun violence becomes political

I always love those lists of "35 under 35," but as I get older, I find that I would love to know about innovations/art from people over 65. "65 over 65" please. Elders have incredible ideas that are the result of having seen the full lifecycle of previous ideas and learned from it.

here's my take after years of study: making games is a distinct craft with disciplines that are specialized to that craft.

programming a game is different than programming a website.

animating a game is different than animating a movie.

writing for a game is different than writing a screenplay.

some real fuck shit. i was just a programmer and i saw what @marykgames.com was adding to the game

Gods not you too, NPR. Keller Gordon, please... be better and just click the credits option in the game and look at how many MORE than 3 people contributed to this production.
