"ai is unavoidable" lmao it's not, you can just hit the bricks

Really wish I'd animated a rectangle with markers flipping first instead of one glamour frame and then winging it.

we have nothing left!! discord's selling your data to poorly secured third parties. The entirety of bsky staff has AI psychosis. twitter is ran by a fascist pedophile, tumblr is censorship happy, patreon disables your account of you breathe wrong, youtube's demonetization algo is inscrutable

lmao that's actually so funny?? It's just an app that makes you immediately stupid, incredible

shaking out slug pellets over garden. <repulsive taste for child safety> - or something on the packet. And I wasn't wondering before and I'm not hankering to eat poison but now I'm like what taste does that reference. Is it spicy.

For anyone wondering where that accessible fish game I was working on went, it's taking a back seat while I figure out Godot and port my progress there. Even ignoring the superior ethical footing (including being anti-ai contributions!) -the snappy boot/compile/run times made me audibly gasp.

aseprite is the best!!! all the revertices sprites were made in aseprite.... I highly recommend for any pixel art and animation

I won't be at migw! I'm not really built for conferences/pub nights/picnics- doesn't help that there's some trauma around a couple of folks there from the old days (don't worry, not you) Hit me up after for a call or a hang! (not here- bsky locked me out of DM's because I won't give it my passport)

Lotta 'Wacky Adjective Sport' games lately. If you're considering jumping on that bandwagon, please consider: Danger Lawnbowls Reverse Golf Athiest Football Croquet Without Remorse microgolf Safest Rugby Anti-capitalist Lacrosse Frisbee but with Spanking Shark-infested Basketball Baseball is Wrong

Learning godot (and quietly refreshing python I guess) and I think I'm starting to be bothered by how little I'm using upper case. I like myVariableName. Shift key instead of spacebar feels faster somehow. "_my_variable_name" makes me feel like I'm typing quietly to anxious teens on tumblr in 2010.

okay, it's still bad news for artstation then 😞

I'm not using AI. No LLM text/code, no images. If my work someday asks me to drink the slop I'll find something else to do. Why would I outsource my decisionmaking to anyone- let alone a lowest-common-denominator absolute mean average corporate answer bot that lies constantly.

A widespread iced coffee brand has many flavours and strengths, with colour-coded bottles. Recently they added a promotional graphic to their bottles in the colour of their weakest variant. As a direct corollary, I am unexpectedly ready to challenge god himself to a footrace and/or single combat.

I'm still on the lookout for work as a concept artist in games, please feel free to DM me or email me at pearsonemilya@gmail.com if you're interested!

been pretty down on posting regular Content to the Feed. Who do I know here anymore. Who loves or even wants this. I guess I'd be drawing whether I share it or not- void, meet yell!

ipad is either dead (whoops lost 3-5 years of casual art) or going into retirement. And I'm gonna be out like $3k for a new one. Anyone want to commission a really nice whole minute of animation?

My city is having a free public transport day to help with fuel use/costs and wow it's weirdly super nice to not feel so aggressively policed? Doesn't matter if I pay my fare or not, I guess there's some sort of persecution complex overhead I'm free of today?

did you ever wonder WHY western writers write samurai stories about "honor" but Japanese writers never seem to? I was curious, so I decided to find out. It got weird.

Sound off- who's around? I'm struggling with motivation to 'post' or 'make content'- which sucks because it means I draw and noone sees it. Who's still seeing this?

People are following me around/after games week- I sort of avoid the whole thing these days (no 'stance' - just sort of avoiding enclosed gatherings) - did my name come up?

If you are in support of the 'March For Australia' today against immigration, run by neo-nazis, block me and lose my details, thanks!

On iiNet or TPG in Australia? Might want to change your modem password, especially if it's still on the default. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-08...

Not really stumbling into the kind of games accessibility resources I'm looking for, organically- I'm starting a research journey, but I'd love to crowdsource links to accessibility advocates/info etc. looking at games developed specifically for access, headswitch games etc, not adaptations for AAA?

Weird seeing everyone's 2024 photo retrospectives. Maybe 3 photos of me exist from this last year, and I'm not in charge of them or it would be zero. I don't think we ever interrogated phone photo culture? One day in highschool everyone went unrecorded and the next day- kapow. (have some art)

Moni is good people and the machinery around this stuff is a mess in their part of the world. I'd swing harder at this if I had steadier work, so instead I'm asking y'all to swing a couple bucks at it if you can.

A lot of new followers I don't recognise from my time In The Bad Place- Hi! I'm Rex. I make art/animation/pixels, but I also program weird gadgets, gamedev and I've worked as a uni lecturer teaching programming and animation. Say hi! What're you all about?

Hey remember drawing for fun?
