Tristan is wearing a blue Pom Poko shirt and green pants, standing in front of the Watzmann mountain in Bavaria. The text reads "Looking for new opportunities!"

Hey friends, following the sudden cancellation of my current project, I’m now looking for new opportunities as a Level or Game Designer within Germany or across Europe.

I’m heartbroken to be leaving Prague, but trying to stay positive & excited about the future.

On another note, all Nestlé products should be boycotted, because if it wasn't enough they've been poisoning wells for years across the world for their bottle water business, they also invest in Israeli businesses and operate a factory on stolen Palestinian land.

Epic Lays Off Terminally Ill Employee Who Can't Get Life Insurance The family is asking for help as it navigates the unthinkable

An unthinkable situation compounded by a bureaucratic nightmare.

My thoughts are with Mike and his family.

You don't know how real this is until you play a modern homebrew N64 game with a functional open world... on real hardware
It's like looking into an alternate universe where developers in the 1990s actually understood how the N64 worked

Longtime college friend of mine, Mike Prinke, was among those laid off at Epic Games: he has been fighting terminal brain cancer, and now he, his wife, and kid, have no income or health insurance.

Vier Tsunami Wellen hintereinander von klein bis groß: 1. COVID 2. Recession 3. Climate change 4. Biodiversity Collapse Dazu Sprechblase: Be Sure to wash your hands and all will be well

Weisser Text auf blauen Hintergrund: Kaum jemandem ist bewusst, dass die anrollende Biodiversitätskatastrophe voraussichtlich viel größer, schneller, vernichtender sein wird als die Klimakatastrophe.Die Zerstörung der Biodiversität hat, neben Erderwärmung, noch viel mehr Ursachen, die alle mit unserer Wirtschafts&Lebensweise zu tun haben.

After 4 years of work, solo dev breaks down in tears after opening Steam and learning his game made $250,000 in a week: "I feel like I really don't deserve this" "I don't know why people are so nice. I don't get it, man"

THIS.

Give me more gaming stories like this. :D

Adam Baldwin was literally *the* guy who named GamerGate and made it go viral. It was just some loser 4chan/incel YouTuber shit before then. They spammed him to get his attention because they knew he’s also a psycho loser and they wanted to make it go viral, and he did it. And it worked.

ABYSS X ZERO vertex paint showcase!

Here are some comparison between clean models and how they look after I add vertex paint!

It really helps with the retro look and it's very fun to do! Probably my favorite part of the entire modeling process!

Net.Attack() at the top of Steam's New & Trending

I'm not crying out of happiness and relief, you are 😭

Spent the last month or so working on this new (and very important!) area for ABYSS X ZERO!

Haven't worked on an area like this since the Downtown from UNSIGHTED, so it's been very nostalgic to create these urban/city assets.

A lot of WIP elements here still!

One of the biggest microplastic pollution sources isn’t straws or grocery bags – it’s your tires Every few years, the tires on your car wear thin and need to be replaced. But where does that lost tire material go? The answer, unfortunately, is often waterways, where the tiny microplastic particle...

I see there’s a post about microplastics going around with a photo of drinking straws, so here is my semi-regular reminder that the 3 biggest sources of microplastics are tires (45%), synthetic clothing particles (35%) and paint (~10%).

screenshot of a post on facebook from Alex Lamoreaux, depicting two versions of the "same" photograph of a bobcat in front of a pine plantation, one labeled original game cam photo, one labeling AI processed the markings have been altered on the AI photo, and the head changed and resized text says: Oh! A neat goose hybrid posted to ‘What’s this Bird?’ but when you zoom in on the photos the bill details have been too manipulated by AI photo editing to be accurately assessed for which species may be involved. Scroll on… A cool-looking Red-tailed Hawk that someone is wondering which subspecies it might be - right up my alley! But when you zoom in on the photos literally every feather group has been so heavily manipulated and altered by AI editing that it’s impossible to determine subspecies because the photo is essentially fake now; just a mashup of whatever AI thinks parts of a Red-tail should look like. Scroll on… WOW! That’s a remarkable trail cam photo of a Bobcat! It almost looks like a painting!… but the head looks oddly small…. hmmmm. After some prodding the original photo is produced and sure enough it had been so heavily altered by AI ‘post processing’ that the photo posted was essentially a digital mock-up with totally different proportions and fur markings. No longer the photo off the trail cam; it may as well have just been ‘created’ by AI from scratch. This stuff is killing me. My days on social media are becoming very limited. We can’t even trust simple, everyday photos of animals to be real. The wildlife community needs to quit editing with AI, and we need to start calling out photographers that are using it. Our reality is being destroyed all around us.

this field biologist does a great job highlighting the insidiousness of AI editing

these one-click AI edit buttons are incredibly appealing to many photographers, amateurs and professionals alike, and are framed as innocuous

this is worth sharing and educating people about

Hello! I live in Venezuela, a country with severe international restrictions, even on buying a Godot Plushie. I love Godot, so I asked my mother, who is a novice seamstress, to make me a Godot Plushie, and I am delighted with the result! Although it's not exactly the same, I am super happy with it, and it's the best gift I've ever received in my life ❤️ My sister started joking around, calling him Fatot 😆 #FatotEngine #Fatot #godot #godotengine

The part about "Valve not giving keys to devs who do not pass an unspecified threshold of sales" combined with "Indies lose 30% of sales to Valve while big studios get individual, cheaper deals" should tell you everything you need to know about Valve's opinion of indie devs.

I found what I needed to read, an old #book (~18 years) that I consider to be the Holy Grail and something that every human from #gamedev should definitely read. I don't understand why it hasn't been republished and isn't available in e-book format. Emergence in Games, by Penny Sweetser
