After nine years as a professional gamedev I've chosen to quit. While I managed to have a steady flow of opportunities and good reliable income up to mid 2023, everything went downhill from there, and I started to get fewer, and shorter contracts

Recently I've really been enjoying hanging out on itch io, picking up spicy queer games for a few bucks, and I think this is the most fun i've had playing video games in years.
FUN FACT! This clip - which I myself pruned for Twitter 5yrs ago - got me wondering whether the story Herzog tells was true or not. This led me down a glorious rabbit hole of Hollywood fakery, and ended with me talking to the man himself about it for an hour. www.vulture.com/2022/01/wern...

(1/7) You want to hear a depressing story about the state of the internet right now ? A bit of context, My hobby is not only painting miniatures, but modifying existing kits so that they're custom. I do that through 3d modeling and printing. Recentlythe new 40k launch box came out with this guy ;
we’ve all become prudes for violence and it’s allowed the parasite capitalist class a monopoly on hurting people. it is obscene to break someone’s leg but it is someone’s desk job to deny them housing and benefits.
The main way in which AI has negatively impacted games industry jobs is not through actual automation of those jobs or even untrue claims about automation. It's by making capital unavailable because it's tied up in AI investments while also destroying the consumer base for video game hardware.

My partner came out as lesbian to their neighbours and I had a moment of pause like OH THAT'S RIGHT WE'RE BOTH GIRLS like I'm so used to not being perceived as a girl that I tend to forget that sometimes

last weekend a cis girl asked me whether I was a mtf or a ftm and I was never asked this question before I feel like this is a new milestone in my journey
I won medals :OOOO Met some super cool painters & sculptors including a slayer sword winner and got a lot of encouragements. Getting gold in standard categories means I am now considered a "master" as far as painting competitions go. That's weird I can't yet believe it
I'm doing my first ever IRL painting contest tomorrow at Couëron, France (near Nantes). Here are my 3 entries, respectively in Diorama, Wargame Miniature & Digital Sculpture. i'm excited !!
One of the games I worked on that I'm the most proud of :D ! Did a bunch of stuff on it including VFX, Shaders, UX/UI & technical animation !
