I am highly concerned and aware of what is going on politically at the moment. I am using this platform to have somewhere to get away from all that. Because of that, please do not be offended if I don't follow you back on mostly politicaly themed channels. Thank you.

I do love the chibi design aesthetic.

Trash City Turbo vehicle spotlight! The Brackman MK2 Brackman's signature wide mono suction tech paired with a V-12 piston, 30 litre Merlin engine. Truly the best of Britain. Available to wishlist now store.steampowered.com/app/4484260/... #indiegame #gamedev #IndieDev

If you see any of Laika's set reports, the level of detail and craftsmanship that goes into every shot is just frightening. It's comforting that someone is not only keeping stop motion alive in a world of CG, but pushing it to new limits.

I’ve still got an XP machine that I use for digitising old VHS tapes. Was this the peak of windows?

this is a QUARTER CENTURY old now youtu.be/GAv1EwoRnec Back to 2001 on LGR today for a retrospective on Windows XP! Reminiscing on its release, unboxing and setting it up, new features, games, screensavers, and a bunch of nifty early 2000s things. Still a truly enjoyable eXPerience decades later!

I don't want to be alarmist, but is this personalised ads for me? Or are my grandkids going to be turning up in ads on your computer? Also, if Gemini is let loose on my files, are they scraping my models and artwork for AI use? www.dexerto.com/entertainmen...

Walked into a former WHSmith shop that has been turned into Jack of all stuff being sold. Shop has been stripped and reveals Bare concrete ceiling and walls. #Referenceimages #Environmentreferences

This looks rather creepy.

"Enzmann Starships" Interstellar concept. Model by @nick-stevens.com Rendered in #Lightwave3d (LW11.6.3 ) I think this will be my next LW 2026 conversion project. Working with that huge reflective ball of frozen deuterium is going to be the challenge.

The layers of evil here are hard to fathom. The big game company that is printing money and burning out their staff. Then there are the workers who will cheerfully have their co-workers fired for ONE HOUR of time off. Jesus Christ. You know Julie Stephen in HR isn't going to be working till 3am.

Wow holy fuck what a shit in principle but also at least have some selfworth and ask for more than an hour of time off for betraying your entire field www.verticalslice.news/rockstar-acc...

The more I think of this, the worse I think it is - and it was pretty evil to start with. This is the apex example of the huge corpo that boasts of record profits, then tells the staff that they don't have any money for raises for the staff. Then the CEO shows off his new Lambo.

I actually managed to get some space art done recently! I updated my renders of the Freedom SR-1 based on some NASA concept art. Making out the details was difficult from one image, but it's nice to jump back into this. It will probably change again before launch. Also no idea where the lander goes.

This is free and looks like a lot of fun.

#DERELIKT has a demo! 🪐 Still surreal seeing people play it after all this time ... anyway, give it a try, I hope you enjoy it! store.steampowered.com/app/5242870/...

I had a much simpler and more modern set than this, but I had to mess around with all this malarkey when I went to art school in Philadelphia in the early 1980s.

This case highlights transitions from the use of analog cartographic drafting tools and precise drafting compasses shown above towards processes and gadgets that could create, analyze, and visualize geospatial data in a fraction of the time it would take for human hands to do the same tasks.

Is an inconsistent style a bad thing? Two things are true at the same time: Your style doesn't *have* to be consistent. But being able to create a consistent style is a super important skill, especially for projects! I made a video about it! It's on my Patreon ~ www.patreon.com/posts/171604...

A friend of mine and I spent the whole weekend just playing the demo of DN3D. We played in coop and just wandered around in awe at the worlds that he and the other level artists had created. He has given me so many good times wandering around his levels. Rest in peace Richard. Thank you.

Richard B. Gray - LEVELORD 11/15/1957 - 10/12/2026 Just heard the news that an old friend of mine has passed on. Richard Gray - aka Levelord has departed the planet. I know he's dealt with cancer on and off for awhile now, a word that I cannot stand. Word comes from his wife Olga.

📸 After asking you to share your photos of Jodrell Bank, one response led to an extraordinary discovery: a treasure trove of images taken by William "Bill" Young during his time at the Observatory between 1958 and 1961 Read Wayne's story: https://ow.ly/gqxq50ZWLKX 🔭✨

Sadly I think even Cliffy B saying Unreal Tournament and Gears has always been diverse will not break Gamergaters out of their AI-accelerated conspiratorial psychosis. Still unpacking ways we can deprogram people for a chapter book, feel free to send me any research/recs!
