Friendly tip for folks. My discord got hacked yesterday and my computer was acting funky ever since. Turns out it was malware installed through a blender file I bought as part of an asset pack on CG Trader. I didn’t know blender files were being used this way, but I figured I’d spread the word.

“0% woke shit”

a black man with a physical disability leads an environmental terrorist cell trying to save the planet from mega-billionaires and you play as a cross dressing twink femdomed by two different women ending and the final boss against the gayest angel of all time

I've been working on my OWDB addon for godot, specifically adding multiplayer support.

That's right, multiplayer open worlds with very little setup! Even supports nodes with zero configuration, they just need to managed by OWDB. Join the discord to follow development discord.gg/dPYxs3gXWQ

My spouse is still looking for a Product Manager role.

He has 10 years of Product Manager experience in the networking and tech field.

Hoping to get the right eyes on this. Reposts appreciated!

My spouse is a wonderful human and outperformed at their role. He LOVED his job.

Unfortunately, his role was eliminated last week, which was our only stable income.

It was a complete shock to us, and everyone he worked with.

If you need any of the services listed, please reach out!

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)
SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems... SIMON: What? SHAPIRO: ...Or saying... SIMON: You imagine that? SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over. SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level. SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this. SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

I don't have the proper words to say more than this now but

I was just laid off. My role at Giant Squid is being eliminated.

If your studio is looking for an environment artist, please let me know ASAP. I have 5+ years of experience.

thank you

Bluesky is the only platform where I consistently see original, authentic content that isn't algorithm-optimized, and I absolutely love it! Just a constant feed of free thinkers and creatives.

Bsky is "stagnat"??
Went over to Xwitter Account...

Oh look a multi post treatise from Jonathan Blow of him punching down on 2 indie games that look 5x more interesting & appealing than anything I've ever seen of his. (never played his stuff)

Closed Xwitter.
Happily came back to "stagnat" Bsky.

Today is my birthday! Could you, please, share my art, it is the best gift an artist can get 💖
A close-up photo of me, a gremlin cat artist trying to pass as human 😸 An green/gold illustration of an elven maiden casting spell, with spirits gently surrounding her. Dragon Age inspired. A portrait of a redhead aasimar with 4 spread wings and a blue eye on her forehead. A poster-like illustration of Solas, Cass, and Fenris from Dragon Age. A ghostly, shining hand is touching Solas' chest (it's Lavellan!).

I hope you get lost in fantasy worlds as much as I do 🔮

I've been working on a demo for a godot addon I've also been also working on. Possibly having too much fun in the process.

The UK's Online Safety Act is like giving a child access to every magazine in the world, then writing to Playboy asking them not to show nudes.

We're normalizing mass ID verification by often non-UK companies. Wrong solution to a real problem.

This is very good.

AI is a tool (sorry!) that people who are bad at their jobs will use badly and that people who are good at their jobs will maybe, possibly find some uses for. People who are terrible at their jobs (many executives), will tell their employees that they “need” to use AI, that their jobs depend on it, that they must become more productive, and that becoming an AI-first company is the strategy that will save them from the old failed strategy, which itself was the new strategy after other failed business models. The only journalism business strategy that works, and that will ever work in a sustainable way, is if you create something of value that people (human beings, not bots) want to read or watch or listen to, and that they cannot find anywhere else.

Did some work to make the ground a bit more detailed. Quite happy with it! The grass meshes could be improved, maybe just made smaller/more detailed, but was mainly focusing on the local terrain structure.

I need to get back to item destruction/dropping!

A screenshot from a 3D video game showing a lush green meadow with tall grass and scattered yellow wildflowers. Coniferous trees dot the landscape, and a majestic blue mountain rises in the background against a bright blue sky with white clouds. The interface shows "SERVER - 1 (DEBUG)" in the top-left corner, coordinates in the top-right, and a row of inventory slots at the bottom of the screen. A small animal, possibly a deer, can be seen in the meadow. The scene has a vibrant, open-world nature setting with rolling hills.

I updated (replaced) my work site with #SvelteKit and some fancy new #WebGL 3D effects.

Now I just need some clients! 😆

Just watched this video about the movement to stop killing video games - really good! The below graphic is perfect. If you're in the EU, please consider signing this petition www.stopkillinggames.com

A meme comparing basic commerce to online-only video games. The image has white text on a black background. At the top it says "Basic commerce: Customer pays money" with an illustration of a hand holding dollar bills. Below are two options separated by "OR": On the left is a burlap sack with grain spilling out, labeled "They get to keep what they bought." On the right is a colorful illuminated Ferris wheel at night, labeled "They are informed upfront when their access to something ends." At the bottom right is a white-bordered text box stating "Most online-only video games:" followed by two bullet points: "Customer keeps nothing" and "Customer is not informed upfront when access will end." The meme criticizes how online-only video games differ from traditional commerce by not providing permanent ownership of purchased items and lacking transparency about when access to the game will terminate.

Went to the Game of Thrones studio tour today. Great fun, lots of minor details in the show that you otherwise wouldn't know about. Was sad to read they're making a loss at the moment.

Been doing some prototyping of cutting down trees, specifically adding realistic damage to the trunk, kinda like Son's of the Forest 🌲
Shall I keep going or stick with decals?
