The “Calvin’s dad explains two types” meme, inspired by a Calvin and Hobbes cartoon. Clockwise from top left: 1) Calvin’s dad walks into frame to find Calvin trying to operate a record player. The dad says: “There are only two industries left in America: gambling, and fraud.” 2) The dad shows where the record goes, and how to turn on the player, while Calvin watches. Dad says “Derivatives? Gambling. AI? Fraud. Video games? Gambling. Social media? Fraud.” Calvin says “yeah”. 3) With one hand open palm up, Calvin’s dad cheerfully explains to Calvin out of frame below him, “The stock market looks like gambling, but it’s actually fraud.” 4) In bed in a dark room, Calvin clutches at his pillow, eyes wide in existential terror. There is no text in the panel.

same, i loved this one a lot and i’ve been thinking about it a ton since seeing it

fuuuuck yeah dude, happy to hear the search is finally over

We're hiring for a Senior Technical Game Designer on the Star Wars Jedi team to help us build player moments like set pieces, in-game cutscenes, skits, and more!

This is a full-time, 18-month contract role that is hybrid onsite to any EA office. More details here:

a 3 star review of the first Illumination Super Mario Bros. movie that reads as follows: I dressed up as funky kong to see this with coworkers and my manager was like "who the fuck are you" because I looked like a 90s weed dealer so I told her to "just wait and see" and then he never showed up in the movie

tbh I still feel I get more enjoyment out of reading this short review of the first Mario movie than I do out of watching most full-length films

I was asked to give my thoughts on generative AI usage in games - here they are!

AGENT ASHCROFT? WELL HOW THE HELL ARE YOU? UMBRELLA? GOOD IDEA, YOU NEVER KNOW WITH THIS WEATHER.

incredible

mine was mostly esoteric chip tunes that i used in my first game back in 2012

dude same

i had to laugh at the irony of this line though, given how he just said he doesn’t feel like finishing WoW. i’m guessing george himself didn’t write that line but still

when the foot IK is tuned too aggressively

I’m sure a certain subset of online shitheads is ecstatic right now, but what happened to highguard — and the many people who worked on it — is tragic. we can’t keep making games like this. a more sustainable approach is literally the only way forward

Hey y’all, the Jedi team at Respawn is hiring up with open temporary positions for Senior Sound Designer, Dialogue Designer, and a Music Designer that will be working with me! If you think you qualify please apply!

always so funny to me when people are like “how am I supposed to explain Gay to my kids?” my kid asks me way harder shit all the time. “why did they build the road this way? why are some people bad?” I don’t know. please ask me about Gay

Third time's the charm: The Star Wars Jedi team is hiring a Map Environment Artist for our Holomap

you'll work with our UI and Level Designers as we chart the galaxy far, far away: www.respawn.com/careers/map-...

Now you too can play a slowed down version of a game from 20 years ago with no actual level design or enemies and all it costs is a complete collapse of the world economy, biosphere, education system, and multiple entire creative industries.

loved this one so much, had tears in my eyes for like 70% of the runtime but worth it

Protester in Minneapolis just before disappearing in gas: "Fuck you! Stop. Damn! I'm 70 years old and I'm fuckin' angry!"

"They say they're coming to save us from some evil? They're talking about our neighbors who take care of us ... Alex was murdered while he was helping. Mr Rogers said look for the helpers, & right now the helpers have a target on our forehead ... Mr Rogers would be here right now too, so I'm here."

A national general strike is needed not just to protest the violence, but to acknowledge the absurdity that we’re all just supposed to carry on with our stupid little daily lives amidst the ambient terrorism of an unchecked state militia executing innocent people in the streets of our country.

loved it, so excited for part 3

DAVID LYNCH'S BITSYRASERHEAD by stoydell A tribute to a dream of dark and troubling things. . .

One year ago to the day, we lost David Lynch, a filmmaker and artist very dear to my heart, and to the hearts of so many around the world.

To celebrate his life and work, I present: DAVID LYNCH'S BITSYRASERHEAD, a tribute to a dream of dark and troubling things

Really like the idea that you can use one successful company to refute the sustainability of crunch.

Can we use the myriad companies that have crunched and gone under to counter this assertion? Well, no.

There are many things to love about Rami’s top 10 for 2025 but this is one of my favourites.

i'm hoping 2026 yields some good luck for me <3 i am looking for work in marketing art, production art, and 3D generalist/character work. i am also looking into hopefully moving into producer work, so any associate or entry-level production work would be great, too!

ty all for ur support <3
