more often than not tho i've been seeing the really dire scenario where they A.) left for bluesky but haven't posted anywhere in over a year or B.) left for bluesky, got tired of it, and went to tumblr or god forbid... Instagram ๐คข
been going through my follows in twitter and for as many people who left twitter from 2022-2025, there's like 2 or 3 more that made an account posted for half a year and then just went back
early morning comic before bed
Stick figure comic of "gamer_gary12" standing in front of a tank and shooting it with a pistol before being instantly killed by the tank. gamer_gary12 makes a thread on the KillingOfWar3 subreddit asking "Literally wtf am I supposed to do in this situation" with a clip of what happened. The thread has 2.6k upvotes and 269 comments (nice). The final panel is the Killing of War 3 patch notes nerfing the tank and buffing the pistol.
Whenever I think of live service gaming and balancing, I think of this comic
"In those days, Miyamoto would come to us at 11 PM, after he finished all of his board-member work, and say, "It's Mario time." At that point, we'd start a planning meeting that would run until 2 AM. At that point, Miyamoto would go home, leaving us with the words, "You should return home soon, for your health." Over the next two or three hours, we'd write the game design documents and summarize the instructions for our artists and programmers. It was the craziest crunch time that I've ever experienced in my development career. But if the God of Games was working so much, could we give up? Miyamoto had incredible stamina." -Motoi Okamoto, Script and Mini-Game Director for Super Mario 64 DS, in a 2017 interview with Chris Kohler from Gamasutra Source: web.archive.org/web/20170405122956/https://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/294923/Qamp_A_Design_lessons_learned_from_a_decade_at_Nintendos_EAD.php
According to Motoi Okamoto, Mini-Game Director for Super Mario 64 DS, Shigeru Miyamoto would start midnight crunch sessions for the game's development by walking into the office and announcing "It's Mario time."

in this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes and melee yoshi looking nasty if you pause during basically anything he does
when my wife and I were working on doing custom animations for melee yoshi we discovered his rig is so putrid that his eyelids aren't even weighed symmetrically(????), so if you move his eyelid bones together they close at different rates like an early pixar character

someone should compile a list of every 80s movie stranger things cribs from so we can all just watch those instead.

Alright! Let's actually talk about this waterfall thing. It is an amazing showcase of many things that I adore from late 90s/early 2000s graphics.
I am replicating this in Blender through mere observation, so some things might not be fully accurate to the mind-boggling effects of the PS1.

Don't put down your own work. Plenty of people want to devalue you and the things you Make. Don't help them do it.
Some advice from a couple of years ago that I still think most creative people need to hear --
screenshot which reads "when air ride 2 comes out and is played by millions of people thanks to kirby's explosion in popularity in the last 10 years, everyone is going to find out that the original game was good The Whole Time. in celebration, we will be hunting everyone who was pretending it was bad last year on twitter for sport"
happy hunting everyone
A piece of Maka Albarn and Soul Evans (in scythe form) from Soul Eater. Maka is a short, blonde teenager with pigtails and green eyes. She wears a white collared shirt, a green tie, a yellow sweater vest, a red plaid skirt, grey gloves, and a long black overcoat with silver buttons. Soul's scythe form sees his red eye at the top of the stick, and the sharp portion has a black and red design all throughout. Here, Maka is seen staring down at the viewer, holding Soul downwards with her left hand. She's in front of a silhouetted night-time city background of which is meant to represent Death City from the series. The moon is also visible, with a large grin and red blood dripping from its teeth.

The full quote: "I think the sublime confusion is from nineteen to twenty-nine. You think you are late for everything, you're a has been, nothing is happening, there's no opportunity for you, the world is closed, everything is a disaster, you wanna die. And then you're thirty. " "You young people are in the exact age of desperation. I never felt more done and old than in my twenties. I'd say 'life has passed me and I did nothing.' But I'm here to tell you that's not true: you have a lot of fucking time."
I love Guillermo del Toro calling ages 19 to 29 "sublime confusion"
