The New Yorker, "Wondering why people are pining for old technologies - CD players, VCRs, Walkmans. What's behind our longing for inconvenience?"

Inconvenience? I just had to dig seven pages deep to find the unsubscribe for one of the four TV subscriptions I need, I'm measured & optimized against in my supermarket, lamps, music, games, and travel. Every service I love gets enshittified to buy billionaires yachts worth 100 times my house.

the games that made me who I am today

HEY 👇

so secretly we've been working with a cabal of indie devs making the type of strange & distinctive games that we love to play on noclip_2.

tomorrow we're announcing a SHOWCASE on noclip_2 as part of an upcoming Steam Festival about these games.

it's gonna be fun.
we hope you tune in.

I always dreamed of going to gnomon, but not on sunday morning, not like this :D

T_T villain behavior right there

once in a while I get very excited about learning and signing up for some kind of 3d art class.
But then I have to actually go to a class at 9am sunday morning… to NoHo… for weeks… -_-

как будто не уезжала вообще >_>

oooh, I’m sad I missed that presentation, was meaning to go

GUYS THE SUNSET GUYS

once every 3 months or so I find some obscure (or not obscure) indie game and suddenly remember why I work in this industry.
Games are art sometimes.
Games are silly little things sometimes too.

“This is how production-level creativity manifests: a human performing a series of actions to produce content.” This is the most depressing generic ass description of our jobs I have ever seen.
But also literally any job: a human performing a series of actions to produce (insert anything)

ooof, I’m sick rn too, it sucks immensely. I hope you’ll feel better very soon!

Rad 3D Artists Join the conversation

Welcome to bluesky to all who is moving from the other place! I don't have any starter pack but @somniacrawler.bsky.social did an amazing one to make things a bit easier to start follow amazing fellow artist! go.bsky.app/3GtnjDE

well, I guess, the move is done?
it only took 8 months and a couple of life altering events but we got there 🫡

self portrait of the artist seated at a kitchen table with her head resting on on the table and her arms hanging limp with exhaustion. Two goblins approach her curiously.

Burned out.

the game I didn’t know I needed in my life until now ^_^

and here I am still on the Part 2 of Day 3 >_>

me: “let me open the drawer for just a sec while I’m running around the house super late and in a hurry”
the space behind the drawer in 0,5 sec: spawns a cat unit

same and I love this tumblr post about DA2

oh really?? damn, how come I was unaware of that all this time? no wonder no one takes me seriously…

no, but how would I show people that I’m an intellectual(c)? >_>

hoarding for content 😔

unfortunately even japanese LL versions are either rising in price or bought and then resold way more expensive 😮‍💨

can we just ask uncle Nintendo to make a new clamshell? because from what I can see people are very much enjoying those

suddenly getting free time after months of not having any is wild. Should I read something? Should I make personal art? Should I play video games? Do I have a JIRA ticket for that?

oh
it’s been a nightmare to find a decent used 3ds before when there were only “this collection is an investment” guys out there but now the overconsumption tiktok people learned that you can make 3ds cute… we’re done, guys T_T

I'm old.

If you're not, listen to this.

Get a guitar or some drums, or a trumpet. Pick up a brush, a pencil, some clay or a welder.

Just make shit. It doesn't have to be good (eventually it will be) just make music, art or write or whatever.

It's literally never been more important.

someone showed me Making Of documentary for The Last of Us

I’m so sorry for your loss. Living far from your family can be especially tough in the moments like these

oh no, the jumpscare that early in the morning O_O
seriously tho, it’s the worst
