a thing i love about @aftermath.site is that, free of the SEO and traffic hustle, we can take our time with stuff. so instead of immediately smashing out half a take about all the valve reveals, chris could sleep on it and get down some clear, detailed thoughts on the whole thing, and its great
The Steam Machine, Frame, And Controller Are Full Of Good Design Choices
Valve is making a lot of moves with their hardware. I like what I see.

Several have tried and failed. Vine themselves fucked around and found out, and now TikTok has that market.

There is absolutely no way I can see how this is going to succeed past a couple months of nostalgia.

Just fucking insane to see the absolute (intentional) collapse of full remote jobs available for AAA studios in so short a time. Why would I EVER move for a job again when I could be laid off weeks after moving my entire life across the globe??

Hi Friends!

Here is a collection of animation work that I did for Heart Machine's Hyper Light Breaker. All animation is keyframed in Maya and implemented in Unreal Engine 4. ❤️

Thank you very much for your time and interest!

Always laugh when I get emails from XTool promising high ROI and fast profit.

Being reminded that the only one profiting from selling you something is the person doing the selling.

"OK so we looked at inside out tracking, realised its faults and fixed them." A very Valve thing to do.

"geoff's a bad person? who woulda known!!"
yeah well that snark doesn't help the marginalized folks who wanted to give him a chance, and who wanted to give this program the benefit of the doubt :)
if speaking out and being loud about TGA and its gross mishandling of the Future Class makes me less employable, that says more about our industry and the people in positions of power than it does me. i have a platform, i'm privileged that i feel safe to speak up. think about folks who might not.

I went to meet the 'Rockstar 31', the developers who were suddenly fired from their work on GTA 6 for what the studio has described as gross misconduct.

That's not what the workers call it though. They have another couple of words they prefer to use: union busting.

@blackscreenrecords.com How likely is it that more Outer Wilds hardback books are coming? I didn't get the emails about it being a thing until today and apparently it launched a week ago. 😔

After being laid off I rely solely on ACA marketplace plans to help cover my medications and some of my doctors.

If I can't afford my medication, I will die.
This is not an exaggeration.
Many freelancers in the United States rely on ACA marketplace plans for their health insurance. In an industry that has already been working overtime to turn gamedevs into gig workers, freelance and contract devs are about to get even more squeezed. This is unacceptable.

You really showed up! 🙌

In all honesty, we didn't expect such a rush for our 10th anniversary sale, so we are very sorry for everyone who wasn't able to order what they wanted. Some items sold out within hours, others within minutes...

YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT! I HAVE WRITTEN A NEW ARTICLE!

this one's a bit weird; rather than doing my usual "trying to organize my thoughts and building a winding case that builds on itself," I decided to show you what my EARLY article creation process looks like:

docseuss.medium.com/some-loosely...
some loosely organized thoughts about dialogue sysin games
think of this as me trying to find out what parts of dialogue choices are load bearing game design and what else can be done with dialogue.
