Rollerdrome, a game I did the character/weapon design for as a concept artist, got a BAFTA in 2023. (here’s an article about the art of the game by @lukeplunkett.com)

@kimhu.bsky.social rando question; what did you get a BAFTA for? That sounds nifty.

All the US news headlines about France being in “political limbo” and “uncertainty” now are wild to read, because the actual vibe over here is “whatever, we got a coalition that kept the fascists from getting in control, we’ll figure out the rest as we go”

AAA games are so insane to me because they desperately want to be validated by every other artform but every other artform isn't adding a ninja turtles battle pass to van gogh's starry night

First #PortfolioDay here, so I'd like to contribute:

"Great men are almost always bad men" is a phrase that goes through my head a LOT (along with an appropriately gender-neutral-ized version when applicable)

“Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men, even when they exercise influence and not authority: still more when you superadd the tendency or the certainty of corruption by authority.” -Lord Acton, 1887

UK and France have both defeated their right wing parties in elections this year. The US needs to get its shit together.

I have many extended thoughts about things that I am not getting out in recent years. Every "I should opine this publicly" becomes "nah no one's gonna read this". That's never stopped anyone, but it's been stopping me for sure, and idk why. Maybe I'm just tired

It really makes me Feral that that all the stupid fireworks do so much bad shit, ptsd, pets, wild animals, fires and then on top of it it makes LA hotter and makes the air quality worse. Generally terrible for the environment. And this year fireworks started before it was still full daylight.

A lot of people are racist, hateful, bigoted, and these figureheads give them permission to be their worst selves. That's really the long and the short of it.

Everyone is always afraid to say why people like Trump or Marie Le Pen have some level of popularity and it’s just that there’s a lot of people in the world who believe in racism. You end up with these goofy ass explanations for Trump where it’s NAFTA or shit and it’s like no you know what it is

I understand the pull of doomerism but I'll also point out that "red-state" organizers and activists have been living under, and resisting/rebuking, many and various forms of oppression for a long time and should be considered leaders in this moment. Like I said back in 2017:

This is why mask bans are suddenly being proposed. If you’re in a place where that’s happening and you think we should prioritize public and personal health and freedom over expanding the powers of the police state then please do let your representatives know why the freedom to mask matters to you

Cops don’t like them; makes it harder to use surveillance footage and facial recognition to arrest people (especially at protests).

It's increasingly clear that the people who make generative AI don't like films, don't like books, don't like art of any kind, and don't understand why anyone else does.
