Reminder to our international friends that under no circumstances should you be travelling to the United States. Avoid all unnecessary or leisure travel for your safety and privacy. Palantir doesn’t stop spying on you once you leave the country and it puts your nation at risk. Be aware.

The international boycott on the US under Trump continues. We call on our international allies to continue boycotting the United States. Canada alone has reduced alcohol purchases by 85%.

The US is welcome to join us by launching a general strike. #3E #BoycottUSA

Trump is destroying the White House. Another step in Trump’s attempt to demolish the United States.

New album time!
This is 'Genesys - Music from the Megadrvie' - made to evoke a long abandoned #Megadrive game soundtrack.
Tracks were made with a #Liven MegaSynthesis synth, or using Plogue's MD VST, to be as authentic as poss.

Look, it’s really straightforward to get a publisher as a new name indie in 2025. Simply do 95% of the work making and marketing your game, and if your metrics are trending towards almost certain success, a publisher will swoop in to promise the remaining 5%, deliver 3%, and collect 75%

Pro tip for gamedevs who just upgraded to Windows 11. Having trouble saving screenshots to disk? That thing where windows 11 hijacks the Print Screen key to launch the snipping tool can be turned off under Settings, Accessibility, Keyboard, 'Use the Print screen key to open screen capture' #psa

I am looking for 2-4 days a week work on games projects as a VFX or environment artist.
I wear other hats that might be useful too, like level design & art direction. I'm also fairly technical.

I have indie rates too!
