I've been withdrawing a bit from engaging on social media as I'm facing a challenging year. I'm okay but at times I don't have the capacity for conversation. I hope you're all doing well, though, friends!

No ai used for rendering these, 10+ years ago. Blender (and other 3d software) was already impressively good back then. Now, we can do *unbelievable* stuff in Blender, Houdini, Plasticity, Zbrush etc. No point in outsourcing the actual craft where it doesn't make sense. #b3d #blender3d

Evidence I’m getting better at coding: googled how to do a coding thing for Divinuet and forgot to include -ai, so it wrote code for me. I looked at it and was immediately like “I don’t think that’ll work even a little bit” so out of curiosity I tried it and I was RIGHT it did not work at all 😎

Triple-A studios will spend 300 million dollars o na video game but won't hire one person to make a pdf manual. Instead, as the customer, I'll have to spend a full day sorting through Youtube videos that might or might not explain that one thing I don't understand.

I want you to treat me like your dude bro with the unkempt beard and who always wears a metal band t-shirt and who wears his "good" shorts at a funeral (spoiler alert, they are not good).

If you're poor its your own moral fault. Worker identity and solidarity are disallowed. You're to lie about your depleting resources to save face and see it as a personal setback. It'll be interesting to see how how long we'll keep up this pretense as the central delusion of our age falls apart.

We have no money. You know this. Why do you keep asking why we’re not doing things we used to do? It’s because we have no money. We. Have. No. Money. We have no money. There is no money left. It’s all gone. None of us have it. No money. Nope. Money gone. We don’t have it. No.

It's such a tricky subject because I always thought making art is the only thing I could bear and that everything else would make me suffer. But making art for money can fuck up your art AND make you suffer AND make you support systems that oppress you.

I love this sentiment, and have always felt the same way about music. Make music because you have new ideas and want to make music. There are easier ways to make money. Doing daily content to max engagement is just making you a salve to the technogarchy (and I'm tired of seeing you not making music)
