These are undeniable merits of GDC and why it’s also sad to see people who can’t afford it or are physically incapable of doing so (hi awesome immunocompromised creators! ILU! I wear a mask!) locked out of the event.
Bless GDCoC for keeping things as accessible as possible.

It was all for nothing. All the canned projects, people laid off, countless hours of work and films and shows thrown away. And the end result was just "Yeah we're back to where we were before it began."

This is going to be somebody's Joker origin story moment.

It's not a solution, but I've used ellipsus.com for writing and their ToS seems decent for writers if you want to distance from Google. No idea how they make money yet though.

SUPER excited to share the swashbuckling poster I designed for @anthroweekendutah.org, where I'll be a Guest of Honor this coming weekend!

I haven't been to a proper furry convention since high school so I'm hyped—might still be a little delirious from SDCC. but HEY we'll figure it out 😎

Found this on TikTok and it made me emotional ❤️

Artists create universes from nothing.

Being an animator is an intimate understanding of life, environments, physics, what it MEANS to be alive, and the ability to convey the beauty within our world in seconds.

We've implemented some AI blocking techniques with our relaunch site - this should improve the strain on our server, prevent the multi-million dollar companies profiting by abusing decades of profitless effort, and wasting our server resources.

AI scrapers are why we cannot have nice things.

Someone asked me what I thought of VR games in general in 2025 on our discord. I spent too much time writing this so figured I'd share it elsewhere. This is written off the top of my head so apologies for overbroad generalizations. Coffee-shop tier banter.
