We're hiring an exceptional artist to define the look of our game! (also paid!) Rogue City is a roguelike city builder about roads and the bastards that love them. Funded by Screen Canberra. Steam is crowded so we need YOUR unique style. I'm talking weird mediums, unique palettes, a third thing!

Game devs have got to start taking some ownership of the IP their working on dawg. Join your union I guess

sorry i need to publicly be a hater for a second but what do you mean the giant 230k+ signature save mass effect petition is only about the IP and not the devs that were laid off

I think a lot of people look at the ages here and think that they could never, but Michelangelo was raised by a stonecutter, his father had a marble quarry and he started training as an artist formally at age 13. Bernini was raised by a sculptor to be a sculptor. Talent isn’t magic, it is learned.

I think making great art is less a problem of what can you do, and more a problem of what should you do.

maybe i'm old fashion but the coolest thing about video games is being taken to new worlds that i hadn't thought up and experiencing something exciting that the artists behind the game want to show me

The expansion of solar tech is actually extremely cool. In Australia we’re getting free energy in the middle of the day because we have so much solar electricity that grids are overloaded. That’s cool as hell.

This could be the only point in human history that a muppets lord of the rings with a bigger budget than the Peter Jackson films is possible

production of The Muppet Show should not be dependent on petty vulgarities like “ratings” or “revenue.” it should be preserved as a vital function of american culture. it should have a taxpayer-funded budget rivaling the CIA

Any attack targeted at people just because they are Jewish is as barbaric and evil as any attack on people just because they are Palestinian, or whatever other nationality. I will not accept any justification or relativization for this horrifying act of antisemitism in my mentions. Evil, period.

You should never upgrade your monitor. If I had stayed on the 720p tv I used as a monitor in 2006 I would be happy a free. Now of if I see a 2k 90hz monitor I scrommit

I have one OLED monitor and one non-OLED monitor now and every time I look at the non-OLED monitor I am filled with limitless disgust.

It will never not be amazing to me that journalists and other people in positions of public influence willingly stay on a site that is being openly manipulated on every level by one of the worst human beings on Earth.

They are literally forcing all of Gazans into a concentration camp in what used to be Rafah in southern Gaza, after destroying it. They are now planning on annihilating Khan Younis. There’s never been a genocide so thoroughly documented as it was live-streamed straight to our phones.
