Otherwise, it has been a lot of stress recently.
I've said goodbye to several colleagues, one of whom hired me 8 years ago.
We haven't been on the same project for some time so I didn't notice how much older he now looks.
I wish for every producer who cares - to have a good solid rest and vacation.

Fell with Flu (ugh) but looking forward to first time trip to US soonish.
At this point I've seen so many references of NY, that experiencing it irl will be surreal.
Touching nearest trash bin: "Hi. You're real"

Peter Hummelgaard, Danish Minister of Justice, remains defiant:

"I indisputably believe that surveillance creates an increased sense of security ... and given that the prerequisite for freedom is security, yes, I believe that more surveillance equates to more freedom"

Started with various pinterest studies and then proceeded to fill two pages with imaginary buildings.

I want to get more solid at drawing from eye level pov,
and doing very basic cel shade.

🦇 D R U L 🦇 @drul.bsky.social · 22d

I'm trying to get more familiar and intuitive with perspective and how building volumes relate, how they open and reveal.
At this point everything I do, one way or another, is a form of level design.

One gives me Justin Bi**er mansion vibe,
other is David Umemoto inspired.
Crazy that a lot of this architecture was done during Great Depression. Crazy but also makes sense.

Discovered a tonn of nice buildings in Miami -- I hope they put them in new g.T./\

I have such good news for executives and industry leaders - it is incredibly easy for *you*, specifically, to put a stop to this. Tell these bad-faith harassers no. Loudly and publicly support your employees & industry colleagues.
Shut this shit down once and for all to protect the future of games.

An excerpt from the article that reads: "In my opinion, every company that has caved to their demands has contributed
to the harassment and climate of fear the rest of us are enduring, and game companies that have done so, in particular, have painted a target on the back of every single person in this industry," the developer said. "Frankly,
I'm pissed."

A disabled double amputee named Rodney Taylor has been held in ICE custody since January.

He’s been denied his new prosthetic legs and is now in solitary confinement.

His “crime”? A burglary when he was a teen for which he received a full pardon. 🧵

Actively talk about how insane this is let people who are not online know how much this will impact them and how fucking creepy is. Stuff like this pass easily due to apathy and distractions like what’s going on in global politics. Once shit like this is in no government will chose to remove it

For-profit age-verification providers are now pushing for "continuous biometric monitoring" — AI scans of your face, your voice, your behavior — while you're online to protect children.

Every session. Every website. Every keystroke. Monitored and recorded.

I made a pixel art upscaling/rotation algorithm called cleanEdge! It makes rotating pixel art as clean as possible

I made a tool for it too! drop your sprites in and get some nice rotated or upscaled versions :)
