I can't find a title for this glorious painting of autumn Aspen, but it's by Oregon based (Ukrainian born) artist, Anton Pavlenko, and I love it 💛

I've reposted many posts made by folks who were recently laid off from Heart Machine, but here is a thread that highlights them all.

I am also including folks who were previously laid off & are still looking for work. I will be linking their Bsky posts, as well as LinkedIn.

Please, share this. 🖤

White people’s insistence that other white people—especially the ones exhibiting morally questionable behavior—deserve the benefit of the doubt is going to kill us all.

We have to penalize blatant lying, particularly by public figures. We’ve slid
into a post-truth world and nothing but sheer cultural gruntwork is going to get us out.

NEW — I dug into the story of ICE abducting a 13-year-old boy in Massachusetts and moving him 500 miles across state lines without notifying his mother, local cop's complicity, and how the federal government's justification for such cruelty is already falling apart:

ICE took a 13-year-old they said had a gun. Local cops say he didn’t.

Now he's detained 500 miles away from his Massachusetts home.

Zack Polanski refusing to pander to reactionary boomers may ultimately limit the Greens' electoral prospects but it's a *huge* problem for our dysfunctional news media, who repeatedly put him on TV to mock him and get made to look like apoplectic bigoted clowns

This is not a call for pity but more to put into perspective how 2025 has been impacting a lot of artists:

Between losses of sales, wholesale, tariffs, and fewer corporate clients, I have lost 50% of my gross income this year as a full-time graphic designer and artist.

If you haven't played 1000xRESIST because you've been waiting for it to release on PlayStation or Xbox—you're in luck!

I highly recommend you get this on console next month, it was my 2024 GOTY, and an instant classic.

1000xRESIST | Available Now @sunsetvisitor.studio · 8h

You are a clone named Watcher, and you’ve made a grave mistake.

💠 Surface a 1,000-year-old lie from the cosmic shadows
💠 Discover the forbidden truths about your god
💠 Unravel a tapestry of familial pain, love and revolution

1000xRESIST is coming to PlayStation, Xbox, and Game Pass on November 4.

When 2025 ends, I will have worked at Devolver for about six months. In that short span, I will have launched more games than I did during my entire six-year run at Finji. Good lord.

Speaking of- BALL x PIT launches tomorrow. You should play it. It's a real GOTY contender.

#devtober day 14 - part 2 of simulated follow cam

The basic follow cam is starting to get there, but I'll need to sit down and work out a solution for the 30-fps magic numbers for a variable fps environment.

Also didn't realize that the quest follow cam has npc avoidance!
