I think about this little guy all the damned time.
I saw him in the DIA collection almost ten years ago and he's remained a permanent fixture in my brain ever since.
Art is fucking wonderful.

I am considering preparing a proposal for a MultiMeshEditor node in Godot.
I truly believe that the engine needs a basic option to use multimesh nodes, with limited functionality (unlike existing plugins).

I tested a machine learning model designed to detect NSFW content. It marked this image as unsafe, because of Tim Allen's breasts (marked in blue) and my hand-penis (marked in green)

The damned in hell are not more powerful for the fact that the fires do not consume them; it is part and parcel of their torment.

Alright! Let's actually talk about this waterfall thing. It is an amazing showcase of many things that I adore from late 90s/early 2000s graphics.
I am replicating this in Blender through mere observation, so some things might not be fully accurate to the mind-boggling effects of the PS1.

re: roblox dude's interview crashout. the thing he wants to say but can't is "at scale, kids are gonna get hurt. that is the price for scale." the thing nobody wants to say out loud is "maybe scaling to a level where harm isn't manageable is bad, and scale should be contained"

This post is incredible in that IYKYK kind of way
So in Arc Raiders there is a door glitch. You don't need to know what it is, just that the gamers are brainstorming all the "easy" ways to "fix" the doors and it's simultaneously hilarious and horrifying. My two favorite solutions are "add a kill volume" and "put a second door behind the door".

in its latest scumbag move, google added nebulous "smart" features you can only use when you consent to let them scrape all your data, added a "when you check this box we get all your personal data" box in settings, then, in an act of generosity, ticked it for themselves and didn't tell users.

Audio (sound effects, music, and dialogue) has a weird relationship with temp assets, mostly because of issues revolving around human psychology.
Problem #1: How do you communicate that something you're hearing is temp?
Problem #1: How do you communicate that something you're hearing is temp?
The annoying thing about the "oh we left a placeholder" generative AI slop excuse is that that is EXACTLY NOT how you should be using placeholders. Anything "not obviously terrible with a panicked hurried half-awake glance" is getting shipped.
In gamedev, if you're using a placeholder asset, best practices involve marking it as placeholder so garishly and offensively clearly PLACEHOLDER that you can't possibly miss it. Also flagging that asset in the dev process so it can be identified quickly before the final build.

ok they deleted and reposted it for some reason but, reminder: this is a survey of GDC attendees only which self-selects for highly paid, senior devs and management
which is to say: this is most likely what a result skewed _against_ unionization looks like right now
