Three 17th century doorways at King's Manor, York. The King James doorway was built for a visit shortly after 1601. The other 2 to mark the rebuilding of the manor as the home of Charles I's Council of the North in the 1630s.

Look at Mike McCarthys old fable art. It's beautiful and pushed and full of personality.

None of this seems to have been carried forward into the new entry and I think that's a real shame.

Couple of characters for my character selector in the animation I'm slowly chipping away at, honestly I might just keep coming back to this section for the whole project. The fella in the wheelbarrow is called Bruckle, and I love to sneak him into any asset I have to hand over to my colleague,

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (2003) had over 750 animations for the Prince alone (when accounting for transitions). That was a huge number for the time.

In a world of AI slop shortcuts in gaming, I am reminded that for The Friends of Ringo Ishikawa, the developer's 60 year old father learned pixelart in MSPaint to help make the game

If it matters enough to you, you can always learn too, even at 60

Look at the difference a few flat textures (and some lighting) makes! You can grab the textures for free, a gift from me to you; kenney.nl/assets/retro... #gamedev

I’m sharing this video again because people don’t really get what these data centers and ai are doing to our planet and our communities. Especially Black communities because they were strategically placed there.

I need you to listen to these people.
STOP USING AI. STOP SUPPORTING AI.

It's always been abolish ICE.

For the first time, more Americans support abolishing ICE than oppose it. But Republicans are proposing hundreds of millions in funding for this lawless agency.

I'll oppose this bill. We cannot give more money to an agency responsible for terrorizing our communities.
