Hi new followers! I’m Rob - been in the games industry since 2002. I’m a game and level designer with a love and passion for environment art which I’m working on during my spare time. Don’t have much to show off currently but here’s my published games from the last 22ish years.❤️👍

I've signed this - it is completely pointless, open to abuse, an unnecessary expense, and probably more importantly another attempt to move us in a more authoritarian direction.

I've never watched as much American late night chat shows as I have recently...

Rob Shaer @robshaer.bsky.social · 23d

Could never justify the cost of it out of my own pocket but if I was asked to go for work I would decline - I have no interest in subjecting myself to travelling to the states and all the stresses that entails given the current climate there.

Rob Shaer @robshaer.bsky.social · 23d

Not that I would probably be asked to go to GDC, but if I was I would politely refuse - I just have no desire to go the US these days... for reasons too numerous to go into but I'm sure you can work it out.

“In Nazi Germany, satirical content was seen as an existential threat to the regime's authority and was systematically censored, controlled, or co-opted for its own propagandistic ends. This suppression was a key component of the Nazi effort to control all forms of communication and public thought.”

This is an utterly fantastic watch and proof that you can change peoples opinions and mindset.
This is exactly what is going on in the UK right now. Labour has for the most part abandoned the working class - they will come back if politicians listen to them and fight on their behalf.

Not content with Level Designing the absolute bollocks off stuff as my day job, I think I might also take part in #blocktober this year…

Love an Uncharted game so might have a go at something to do with that…

Hate to say it but the beserker fights in god of war ragnarok are some of the most unnecessarily hard rage baiting encounters I’ve ever had in a game. The game is otherwise fantastic but these are not fun in the slightest 😩

Rob Shaer @robshaer.bsky.social · Sep 11

OK - done! 👍 Amazing work btw 😍

Yes you’re right, after a long work day I could do some personal art stuff… buuuuut, and hear me out here, I could instead play a few hours of God of War Ragnarok before some much needed shuteye. 🤔

See also Rick Beato and UMG going at his YT channel tooth and nail. The only winners in all this are the ruddy lawyers.

You know what, fly the flag if you want to - but also I'd encourage all different nationalities and heritages here to do the same. Turn our streets into a sea of different flags with all the different colours of the rainbow that indicate how diverse and brilliant this small island can be.

Rob Shaer @robshaer.bsky.social · Aug 27

Awesome write up and very interesting - I'm a complete noob to all this but the results look pretty damn good tbh.

Rob Shaer @robshaer.bsky.social · Aug 11

It’s truly frightening and I don’t think people will realise how fucked it all is until it directly affects them and by that point it’ll be too late ofc. Keeping everything crossed you and family are going to be ok and safe during these crazy times 🙏

America, what the fuck is going on? If it wasn’t evident before you are now firmly under the thumb of a fascist dictator. Free elections will be next on Trumps hit list. You fuckers need to get in the streets en mass like yesterday.

Rock reference pic from the pool in Crete. Looks like granite or some other igneous rock to me from here. I’ll do some research whilst sipping cocktails in the sun today 😁👍

101 hours on vampire survivors and I just got my platinum. Yay me! 😁 more to do as I have all the DLC though 😅

Started trying to watch Broadchurch on ITVX last night - adverts every 10 minutes. totally pulls the viewer out of the experience. Had to give up - It’s no wonder people sail the high seas.
