As we wait for the Rockstar tribunal to resume, here's another speech from one of the fired workers as they demonstrated outside the hearing. This is Jacob Jones, formerly an Associate Game Designer on GTA VI's open world team:

The Internet Archive has a museum for the weirdest art of the early web. 🖼️ It’s called GifCities. Thousands of animated GIFs rescued from the first wave of the web. Glitter. Dancing. Cats. Strange little loops that survived. 💾 Go find your perfect retro GIF 👉 gifcities.org #ToolsYouCanUse

Six more days to snag a flat pack model (or a template, or stickers) from my shop while they’re on sale

In recent years, the media has quietly begun to change the way in which it writes about Bobby Kotick, the former CEO of Activision Blizzard. PMG investigates how Kotick used the threat of defamation to reshape his legacy in the games business, one article at a time. www.youtube.com/watch?v=kKwp...

Hey there friends! Unfortunately, I was among those impacted by layoffs at Heart Machine last week. If you or someone you know is looking for an experienced Unreal Engine Technical Artist, I'm available for full time, part time, or contract opportunities.

Christian's work has been a constant source of inspiration for years, anybody who'll end up working with him is extremely lucky

conjuring up some weekend plans with the coven

I'm still adding stuff to my Mobile Suit Library page - an increasingly inaccurate title! Latest rounds are mostly Universal Century series such as "08th MS Team," "Gundam 0080," "Gundam Thunderbolt," and "Gundam 0083"... www.gundamunofficial.com/mslibrary.html

Some real fantastic art posted today on this site you should definitely go check out and actively share and engage with. Trying to be positive and supportive of others efforts dose help to make your day better as it brings positivity into the mix.

And a few more from "Gundam Seed Destiny."

The best part for scifi war anime for me is when they get hevy into logistics and show the suport that’s needed not just the one big fancy robot. The scale of all them moving parts all needing to be designed to fill very specific roles in their world.
