Ha, well I'm glad you can take something from that! The world can make it really hard to maintain that viewpoint, especially right now, but i think it's important to at least have it in the back of one's mind

Man unironically built my approach to interpersonal conflict. See through eyes unclouded by hate. Understanding is the key to peace, even if that understanding is applied to people who have wronged you

Is mask off exploiting a situation for easy views while also minimizing the impact of what happened. It's just really really fucking icky

Does anyone else find the speed at which true crime documentaries are made now deeply disturbing? Like i like true crime to an extent, but when you're releasing a diddy documentary like 3 days after that shit went down or making a luigi mangione doc before anything has really happened it just 1/2

forever.

we need Wild Zero more than anything right now

Smells good to me at least! The world needs more dungeon crawlers and who better to do it then icg's ghoul in residence

I have no beef with smartphones, but it always saddens me that the introduction of the iPhone killed off the ecosystem where designers made the most mind bending, incredible phone designs known to man. It was approaching pure cartoon sci-fi back then, and was replaced by rectangles.

That sounds so sick

Absolutely delightful, i hope she never loses a knife

Kutty Cat, the 9-Knives Cat

I'm obsessed with this cat man, simple designs can be so effective

Today Civ 7 officially released, and I’ve seen a ton of people on my feed installing, anticipating, playing. It’s been an honor to be the game’s narrative director and to design the emergent narrative system. Surreal feeling to see all this, honestly.

Ke Huy Quan from Everything, Everywhere, All at Once saying “When I choose to see the good side of things, I'm not being naive. It is strategic and necessary. It's how l've learned to survive through everything.”

Maybe the coolest orange cat you've ever seen, wearing a denim jacket and holding a gameboy looking ahh device attached to a wallet chain with a pigeon charm dangling from it. He wears torn jorts and holds a greasy bag of Demon Dawgz in his other hand. He wears some sick shades and has Chicago star branded earbuds in.

BWUH where did you all come from, did someone add me to a starter pack or something

Anyway hello new people, I am currently on a brief skeleton hiatus but my name's Seb- I'm a Chicago based indie dev/artist/organizer! I focus on 2D animation, writing, and sometimes even music. Here's a cat.

my indie game for 15 seconds

all my issues with civ 7 so far are just a really rough usability, the fundamentals seem great so far; it's wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy easier to polish usability than fix broken fundamentals, so I think they made good production triage calls here, frankly.

Also, my current game project: Vikings on Trampolines. Its a co-op/versus brawler where you're vikings, you fight on trampolines, and balloons are sentient and evil.

this game look kinda cool

thinking about starting a grasslands horse archer hoard and uniting the scattered provinces of the united states midwest under a single banner

10 years ago this week, I started work on Tunic. The game wouldn't have been the success it was without LGBTQ+ folks, both devs and players.

So, I'm matching donations to Trans Lifeline. If you can spare $5 (or more!) reply with your donation and I'll X2 it. Thank you! 💕

Oh lol, looking at how you did it we do the same thing

I know it's not ideal, but i like to extrude the face and rotate it for each of those segments on the corner. Tedious, but i like the control i get lol

My most doomer take that I'm willing to share is that it's not going to survive the year unless we really, truly, seriously fucking rally.

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942.

I know. I was there in those camps.

Chicago, baby.

God maybe the standards are so low now
