Now that the Great Exodus is happening...
Hi! I'm Xavier. I'm a 3D character/technical artist who's been in games for over a decade. I've worked on some stuff you've probably heard of and a lot you haven't.
And yes, I am the guy personally responsible for making Rivet jacked.

I can't speak for anybody else, but for me, sometimes the whole executive dysfunction thing can get bad enough that I wrap all the way back around to being productive. I once wrote four hundred lines of code while procrastinating on the act of putting on a shirt.

What the Epstein files show is the *solidarity* of many men-across class, race, religion, profession & party affiliation-in the global political project of keeping the boot on women's necks.
People have no problem understanding class solidarity among the rich. Why can't they see gender solidarity?

Like I dunno, maybe the reason it took a lady to break open the story of all the men protecting the dude trafficking underage girls is because the male journos were all emailing him making jokes about it?

it’s been a minute since I’ve been back to the Art Academy of Cincinnati and i’m excited to return.
if you’re around this Friday, come by and see the exhibit ‘STORY ART’ a group exhibition featuring picture book illustrators from OH, IN & KY. Curated by fellow alumni, the talented Jeffery Ebbeler.

Stop quoting stuff CEOs say about game development. They don't know shit. Even game devs only know about their own tiny slice of gamedev, so the suits definitely have no idea. You don't have to listen to them or debunk them, sometimes you can just be like "that's idiotic" and live on.

Friendly tip for folks. My discord got hacked yesterday and my computer was acting funky ever since. Turns out it was malware installed through a blender file I bought as part of an asset pack on CG Trader. I didn’t know blender files were being used this way, but I figured I’d spread the word.

this is pretty standard forum moderation policy, but "user was banned for this post" is one thing bsky is missing
Our policy has been not to comment on individual accounts. You end up having to litigate every case in public, and we don’t have the capacity for infinite debates in public.
Then there’s also the consequences such as the increased litigation and bad actors gaming your systems.
