I gotta hand it to whatever advertising firm Informa hired to make these, there really is something almost poetic about GDC's advertising being "an AI-looking depiction of an industry staple being destroyed with no clear elaboration of what comes after." Masterclass in unintentionally nailing it.

She didn't even include this in the album

Where buzzards make circles,
And tillers make hay:
In windrow and bale,
With tedder and rake;
Where Adam made ribs
And cattle make steak.”
(And the rattling nib writes,
“What did I make?”)

And how was I to know
Seeing my seconds pass in a line
If there was a way to reckon love
Except as a symptom of time?

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

That's why it was always so funny to me when one art school professor of mine would say "nowadays there are no art movements, each individual is doing their own thing"

It's so funny the alt-right loves the Roman empire so much but they don't seem to understand why it collapsed

un poco como el famoso "if only you could talk to the monsters", que se hace chiste pero hay algo de razón de fondo

mentorizando equipos (tanto juniors como seniors) hay mucha obsesión en que el estilo visual esté refinadísimo desde muy pronto.

no solo hay que trabajar con placeholders, el desarrollo visual es algo que se itera y se madura.

he ido a buscar un video de 2022 de Cult of the Lamb para demostrarlo.

Artist friends, lend me your sword (designs)!

I'm working on an installation that features a vending machine where you customise a sword by mixing-and-matching parts, then print it out on thermal paper.

There's an idle game component too.
