why do people from the midwest get all lost when they move to the Big Apple? because they're used to Minneapolis 🙂👍

I'm looking to commission a visual/concept artist create a few mockups or target renders (possibly animated) for a 2D project of mine. Abstract, dark, minimalist, think of radar UIs with an occult spin or low-res UFO sighting photos. But art direction is flexible. Please DM if you're interested!

Hi all, I'm getting too many replies to answer everything so I'll focus on people who already have works that clearly align with the vibes mentioned above! Love anime and furry characters but this is obviously not that at all :) more interested in abstract works and motion graphics! ty 🩵

Hi all! I've received lots of messages already so may take a while to respond. I don't need any further submissions! (unless you have examples of work you've done that is *very* relevant to the descriptions above!) thanks 😇

More on what I'm looking for: fake screenshots of a puzzle or tower defense game, something that looks lo-fi (see Nodebuster) but more grainy than pixelated. Single layout; a couple game states, or short animated gameplay mockup. All abstract shapes + UI. No characters or environments.

Today marks the public launch of the Ubisoft Workers of Montreal (UWM) campaign, with a first action: a petition to preserve hybrid work. Every Ubisoft Montreal employee is invited to sign the petition and every supporter encouraged to reach out to their network to encourage them to sign!

New: Macklemore says Robert Kraft — who owns Gillette Stadium, where Macklemore & Ed Sheeran were to perform later this month — called Sheeran. Kraft rallied other owners together behind an ultimatum for Sheeran: if Macklemore stays on the tour, you won't be allowed in our venues.

I am increasingly unwilling to give the benefit of the doubt to any tech publication that treats its subject matter with any less circumspection than if they were reporting on an arms dealer

These wins are incredible!!! Minimum 4 weeks severance + 1 week for every 6 months employment, AND recall rights, AND hybrid work + AI protections, AND up to 34% wage increases! This would have been unthinkable before the industry started to unionize!

blizzard workers' union contract includes "really strong" layoff protections, recall rights, just cause protections, hybrid work, AI protections, and a salary floor aftermath.site/blizzard-union-contract-warcraft-overwatch-diablo

follow me for absolutely zero takes or thoughts on GTA6. except this: solidarity with rockstar union workers past present and future.

huge miss from this year's #FantasiaFest sci fi showcase, a series of milquetoast takes about "technology hampers the human experience" followed by a Q&A where creators expressed enthusiasm for how AI was going to facilitate filmmaking 🤮 thank fuck one of them, HappyDeal, focused on punching up.

I was excited to see one of them was filmed almost fully within notoriously queer-friendly social game VR Chat, and then the end was like "actually you need to go back to the real world you socially inept nerd" and VR chat is just something the filmmakers stumbled upon and used to save on VFX costs.

Shorts, Fantasia, and genre film are supposed to incarnate the rebellious spirit of cinema. Massively disappointed that it was almost nowhere to be seen in this session.

Games Done Quick is such an unfettered source of pure good, distilled into the most concentrated essence. A motivating beacon for people to show the power of coming together and rallying around an important cause. A powerful moment that underscores the desire to help in all of us. GDQ forever.

thank you so much mr genius president for having the incredible comedic foresight needed to Do A Corruption out in the open – only for the US team to be indubitably destroyed days later, the one meagre excuse they had now rendered invalid

I've been enjoying this football WC more than I usually do so I'm looking forward to watching it all unfold, but I can already share my definitive take for everyone who's discovering a new appreciation for non-north-american sports: welcome, now go watch rugby

ugh Zoom is absolute trash and ideally you wouldn't ever have to use it, but if your boss forces you to, disable the trillion bs settings in your web profile

Today is a momentous day for the workers of Arena! After months of planning, waiting and organizing, our dream is finally a reality; the votes have been counted, and our union of UWOTC-CWA has been officially elected. From this day forward, we have a union!
