Genuinely can't believe it. Started this year with just over 500, and now we're already here. If you've subscribed or watched, thanks so much!

Not going to make a habit of sharing nice comments but this is my first time hearing this. I’m always grateful when a video of mine has some sort of impact and I’m glad they felt like they could share

I cannot recommend Pizza Bandit. It's a poorly made game, and the presence of what I believe to be AI-generated assets signals a general lack of care or attention to detail. My full breakdown youtu.be/qCTZ7K44aTA?...

Had intended to upload a video on Weapons tonight, but it has unfortunately been hit by three separate copyright claims from WB. Shame as it's a bit timely, but I don't know when I can expect it to go up now. Have contested the claims, of course.

Israel did this to minimize reporting of their planned, criminal occupation. International intervention is now the minimum position.

Hi there. I’m looking to speak to creatives/artists/art enjoyers who would categorize them self as anti generative AI. If you have time for a conversation, it would help me greatly.

Thank you

In just six days, my Peak video has managed to hit 41,000 views. Genuinely delighted that so many people have taken the time to watch.
So I’ve been playing Peak recently.

jason schreier is getting these updates almost faster than i, an impacted employee at zenimax online studios, am. which is creating a borderline slapstick layer to this experience
As one illustration of just how sloppy and chaotic today's mass Xbox layoff has been, some employees at Zenimax Online Studios are now watching their Slack accounts abruptly get locked out. No message from HR, no word on whether they still have a job, just an ominous Slack deactivation

One mistake people make with these letters is assume they're written for humans, but they're not. There's no contrast.

They're written for shareholders, & for them, this text is just a non-stop parade of good news. Record numbers? All verticals up? Layoffs?! What a feast, for them, what a feast.
language like this is so insulting, imo. is it a compulsory thing for CEOs to need to brag while laying people off?

Snap!

I’m incredibly grateful to say we hit 2000 subscribers over night. Truly an astonishing figure and double the (pretty lofty) goal I set myself at the start of the year

Hello! A request of the internet, if any game developers see this (bonus points if you work in digital art or use Unreal Engine 5) would you be open to chat to me about an upcoming project?

Feel incredibly lucky to say this has reached 12,000 views in just 21 hours!
So I’ve been playing Peak recently.
