at this point I can barely use my phone I receive so many spam calls today I got I think 4 in a row from the same "person" with a slightly different script is it this bad or worse for others?
This is an older post so I would like to clarify I am still looking for work! Any little bit would be a huge help, whether it's for games or something else entirely 📧 hunter@hrpixelart.com 🎨 www.hrpixelart.com
hunter (comms open!)@hrpixelart.com · 3mo agoIf you need a pixel artist for anything at all, long term, short term, or some secret third thing, I'm available for work! I've worked previously on titles like Songs of Conquest, Blasphemous 2, Perfect Tides Station to Station, and Scott Pilgrim EX! 📧 hunter@hrpixelart.com 🎨 www.hrpixelart.com
It's hard to explain, but there's such a vibrancy, twist and polish in every @aerialknight.com title I've played so far, that even if the games are very different genres there's just a cohesive thread and style to each entry that it's nice to see indies that can keep releasing new, and fun titles
GDoC is this week, make sure to get your tickets! I'll be doing a short talk on pixel art tools on Wednesday!

no I don't use AI to make stuff yes the only claude I know is in a pile of dirt
jess m. ☕🍂@jametc.bsky.social · 2mo agoPlease be vocal about not using AI. We have to normalize it. No "I'm not going to say that because it should be assumed. I'm not going to give them this". We don't have time for that shit ideological shit right now. NOW is the time to capitalize on waning favorability. Ppl want human made

Just wanted to see how busted things in the PC building world were. I built my current desktop (mini ITX, AMD 9700x, 64GB DDR5 RAM, 4TB M2 SSD, GTX 5060) for $1266 all in. Similar desktop build today is $3150. I can get it down to maybe like $2700 if I am very thrifty. That's too much man
Tim Curry and Dolly Parton have taught us not only that you should be bigger, weirder, gayer, and freakier, but also that those qualities are what people will love about you. The things that make you strange and amazing are the things that will resonate with other strange and amazing people
