Respectfully, calling the White House isn’t enough. Arrest ICE. Defunding and abolishing isn’t enough. They’ve killed two people in MN and have abducted an unknown amount of innocent people.

You signed up for this job Tim. Do your fucking job and defend your people.

At least four videos show what really happened when ICE shot a woman in Minneapolis on Wednesday. DHS has established itself as an agency that cannot be trusted to live in or present reality. @evystadium.bsky.social has more.

Ending the work year feeling very thankful and unbelievably privileged to have worked with so many great people and talented teams who've trusted me with their games as a freelancer.

Shoutout to all of the press and creator pals who've believed in those titles and have shown them some love, too πŸ’›

Our upcoming game The Hearth and Harbour is fully 2D, but with some neat tricks we’ve made it look 3D. Ethan, our environment artist, did this with a special type of texture called a Normal Map. (Thread! 1/7)

NEW: After my last piece about what's slowing down game development, folks wrote in to ask "why didn't you talk about bad leadership?"

It uhhhh never came up. So I returned to the well and asked devs to explain why better leadershipβ€”not AI or any other toolβ€”is vital to efficient game development.
