I don't get how people don't realize that a technology that replaces junior and entry level positions in a field destroys that field.

There's no skipping steps. You have to be a junior before you can be a senior, and if you don't have senior people, you don't have a field.

Remember, kids: A real big goal of "AI" is to entirely sever capital from labor, and no, there will be no universal basic income, you can all just starve and die, thanks

AI is already taking jobs away from entry-level workers

Software and customer service are most at risk right now and could be the canary in the coal mine.

Cover piece for an indie game called ‘The Bloodline’ which has been incredibly fun to work on. I also made an alternate colored sunset theme for them. #indiegame #steamcapsule #videogames

All in all, this is one elaborate way of saying you are doing fine as is so long as you’re trying a little everyday. There is no shame in that. Just be sure to take care of yourself as you do it and you will alway reach the end of the marathon :)

I totally get that. Depending on your job you probably do plenty of 3D/2D that it’s the last thing you want to do with your free time. Look at it like a marathon and not a sprint. Set up for an hour and do what you can. While it may not feel like a lot it’s more than never running at all.

I attempt to make a little progress every weekend on personal stuff. Im fortunate for still having a game dev job right now but I guess I like having the time alone to learn something new (substance designer mainly.) better to learn something new than brood at world news.

Sorry you’re going through that. I feel like I’m drowning making rent and I live in Canada so I got it easier. The sheer idea of living in the US where I’m from is insane. I still get butchered by US taxes as well.

I'm going for the same achievement setup. Got every achievement except Lent, but been really excited for Hardcore mode so I'm doing all the negative perks just cause.

TrashNomad @nomad3d.bsky.social · Apr 13

I 100% agree. Even now on the rare occasion I do go to a movie I always make that area spotless cause I’ve been on the other side lol

I worked as an usher at a theater years ago and maybe it’s not just this movie but I remember EVERY kids movie was a nightmare to clean up between shows. But seeing this stuff lately… yeah, wtf is wrong with people.

Looking back, I really regret scraping this bust (hah) sculpt of Lady Dimitrescu. Did this while still in school a few years back but never really felt happy with the overall result. Anyways, here you go.
