Big Walk is my game of the year. Holy shit I love it so much. What an experience 😭❤️
Mike's Media Update: -Mina The Hollower. Fantastic so far. I 'm on the final level. Had to use a few modifiers bc I am a baby who don't game good. -Big Walk. LOVELY puzzle game. Playing it w a buddy and it's been my favorite game in a while. -Marvel Rivals. Hell game. Demon game. Hateful.
im going to enjoy dungeon crawler carl before everyone gets annoying about it
I finally caught Avatar Aang: The Last Airbender and wow... seeing these characters, who mean so much to me, handled with so much love and care brought me to tears a few times. I can't offer enough praise to the cast and crew. Thank you to everyone who worked on it 🥹❤️
alright everyone the prequels suck again
George Lucas likens AI sceptics to luddites clinging to horses and carts
i wonder if we'll ever get to the point where we have to swap our sleep cycles bc being outside during the day is too impractical
Little Paprika is doing so well recovering from her surgeries! She's back to her normal energetic self and her fur is growing back nicely. I've still got a lot of vet bills to pay from this incident, please consider supporting if you can 🙏 www.gofundme.com/f/help-papri...
the reason tech ceos wont allow users to filter ai content is bc it would reveal to investors just how many people don't want to see their very, very expensive slop
"our game only used genAI to generate ideas!" well then i'll use my brain to generate the idea of not buying your shit, how's that

"whatever, everyone already uses it anyway so it's fine" is just not really the message a sorry person promotes. I'm frustrated by how everyone just gave him the benefit of the doubt. I'm not feeling very forgiving when this is the messaging. I don't think I'm being unreasonable either
my theory of why horror is so popular rn is because that genre is allowed to be made for cheap, tell new stories by a variety of voices.
I have nothing positive to say except that I'm glad we, as a community, pushed back on this and that project is no longer happening.
There are currently 3 ongoing/upcoming Kickstarters for Black-led animated projects to support: • The Three Tomes by @breanimator.bsky.social • FLY by @jayrayart.bsky.social • HEY by ToonrificTariq Links below! ⬇️
I can thank my entire animation career on my fellow artists that took a chance on me. My biggest cheerleaders have been other artists. Even if I was a cynical, hack sellout (I'm not) I would think twice before selling out my fellow artists bc my career afterward would suffer. I just dont get it.
im not religious but i think al pastor tacos are proof of god
ai grifters on linkedin are starting to talk about genai criticism as if it's hate speech lmao
if yall can sit through the liveaction remake you can support the animated movie when it comes out.
IF YOU ARE A MAJOR INTERNATIONAL STREAMER AND YOU ARE RELIANT ON LEECHING OFF AN EXISTING FANBASE TO HAVE A SUCCESSFUL SHOW THEN WHAT IS THE POINT OF YOU
Tomorrow is my last day working w/ the immsensely talented folks at Powerhouse. It's been a blast and we cooked up some rad work (if I do say so myself) I'm gonna take off the rest of April. After that if you're looking for someone w/ anime-inspired action storyboard experience: keep me in mind!
i keep wanting to dip my toe into ✨The Animation Discourse of the Week✨ but there's no easy way to discuss the topic with the nuance it deserves and i will inevitably put my foot in my mouth. so instead i will be throwing my router into one of those industrial microwaves they use to dry wood.
