During the summer of 2020 I was feeling miserable and useless. Like what I was doing didn't matter. I decided to help others in the way I knew how. I started mentoring, teaching, doing portfolio reviews, resumes reviews, mock interviews, and even just small pep talks with folks.

I knew it was wild that Mumbauer was fired very early on at TNM, but man he his petty and vindictive. You chose to break confidentiality and had to face up to it.

One of the best things is that Mamdani can't go further than say governor. Running the Presidential pipeline is not in his view and it shows. He's more willing to brash and honest, versus someone like Pete B. who is gunning for the presidency and is trying to play party politics.
Mamdani: "I am in support of abolishing ICE. What we see is an entity that has no interest in fulfilling its stated reason to exist. We're seeing a government agency that is supposed to be enforcing some kind of immigration law, but instead what it's doing is terrorizing people."

Productive weekend! Finished the back wall. Figured out the stained glass shader and built a stain glass generator out of Designer. Going to figure out the marble flooring next. Lighting is still very WIP. Can't wait to make those books look like books! #gamedev #environmentart #unreal #ue5

Focusing on this #UE5 scene this weekend. Working on the stone wall textures and shaders today. Because I am such a shill for #dnd I'm thinking of making this The Vault of the Sages in Silverymoon. #gamedev #environmentart #art

Setting up my plans for #GDC2026 I'm going to try to do 3-4 days if I can manage it.
The plan will be doing my usual 1on1 portolio reviews on the expo floor.
Also I might be able to demo and portfolio review with LCAD at their booth as well.
Also will post a Portfolio vid on Youtube before GDC.

If you're looking for work in gamedev, here's a thread of guides I've written about everything from setting freelance rates to writing a good cover letter
I've been in gamedev for over 13 years and been on both sides of the interview table a lot, so these are all the things I wish I'd known

Currently working on SSR demo for 4.6 release page. If you look closely at the water surface you may notice that it looks better with SSR than without it! 🤗

Yeah GameStop CEO is a MAGA chud, trying to bandwagon on to GG stuff is par for the course. It’s one of the reasons he “cost cut” Game Informer, he couldn’t turn it into a culture war brand to use for conservatives.
The company that had to shut down 400 stores this month thinks incelposting is going to to bring customers back

A new painting (by me) I can share for the game we are working on here at Gardens. I still can't say much, but things are moving along smoothly and I'm excited for you all to see it when it's ready. I really appreciate all the enthusiasm everyone has shared with me about the art we've shown so far.

At so many game studios, senior devs and leads ARE the documentation. People have no fucking idea how disastrous it can be to lose someone to burnout or layoffs.
