Now that the Great Exodus is happening...

Hi! I'm Xavier. I'm a 3D character/technical artist who's been in games for over a decade. I've worked on some stuff you've probably heard of and a lot you haven't.

And yes, I am the guy personally responsible for making Rivet jacked.

‘TRON: ARES’ has earned $14.3M in its opening day at the domestic box office.

For comparison, ‘MORBIUS’ opened to $17.3M.

I know 14.3 and 17.3 aren’t great numbers but in Jared’s eyes anything under 18 is prime picking.

I've been testing out adding greenscreen footage into Unreal, but compressing it to look like it's a 90s FMV game

My big conspiracy is that due to our overall systemic decline in both cultural literacy and actual literacy we have spawned a generation of people who don’t even know how to get horny anymore

Now that I've recovered from my cold and isn't sneezing my brains out, I finally managed to finish up my piece from @paulscottcanavan.com 's mentorship :D

Knew I wanted to paint a horse, so decided to draw some inspiration from the wild hunt folklore and ended up with bonus doggies.

A male rider dressed in leather armour rides across the sky. He's carrying a spear, and a half cape is flying out behind him. His horse have blue glows across its body, and they're flanked by two demonic canines with red glows across their body. Behind them is a eclipse and clouds.

Alas no. Because of their distance from the Prime Meridian, Japan is subject to other heavenly entities.

All my baseball knowledge comes from watching Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, so if someone could explain why everyone is so invested in it all of a sudden that would be great

I think the guy's a weirdo, but I tend to agree with that. I think it extends to all media and art, however. I think it's very important to see the hand of the person who made the thing in the thing itself. It gives it humanity and connects you with it in a way a polished product doesn't.

I've been noticing more and more lately that many of my favorite things are deeply flawed, and in ways that cannot be fixed

I've decided I LOVE that about them and I want to embrace it

God, yes

There are so many huge swings in terms of generally weird and off-the-wall stuff, and I love it

Even if a large portion of them miss because of problems in the structure, the whole is absolutely greater than the sum of its parts

Truly a flawed masterpiece

100% correct on both counts

I remember following guides on GameFAQs to get my GFs to the highest power possible, and spending hours grinding so I could beat Ultima Weapon and Omega Weapon, and it was THRILLING

FF8 was my entry to the series and no other game so far has matched its bizarre energy

I have a genuine soft spot for it despite all its flaws because it stretches so far into the weird

It’s pretty bleak that The Wire, looking back, is a romanticized picture of American policing

never been on a production where I didn't at least help sneak something in that later became a huge hit with the previously-skeptical team

I'm already typing an "I know how to sneak this in" message on Slack in a group with one of the other artists and a narrative designer

what is the point of any of this if we're all just gonna be repeatedly subjected to the flippant incompetence of these stupid, stupid men, and paying the price for their bonehead mistakes over and over

NEW: Nearly 100 current and former developers at MindsEye studio Build A Rocket Boy slam Leslie Benzies and the rest of studio leadership for poor management and botched layoffs.

They say crunch was mandated leading up to release only for 250 people to be sacked afterwards.

The bit where you bank into a left turn and then continue the roll to pull into the opposite direction is incredible
