Están siendo unos años locos estos. Quizá en septiembre forme parte de un trío de saxos, y me ha hecho ilusión 😊 Hace año y medio no había tocado un instrumento en mi vida, aparte de la flauta dulce en el cole...

I've seen an ex-coworker's portfolio with an asset of mine credited as if done by them from scratch.
What do people do in these cases? Is it worth it to go tell them they're blatantly lying when they already know?

With almost the entire Western system of suppression against Palestinian stories working against him, Rasheed has still managed to bring Dreams on a Pillow to 75% of the campaign goal with two weeks left. Please don't let this dream fail in the last stretch.

Today my teacher congratulated me on my progress with the tenor saxophone.
I had to play a piece starting with a C which still sounds so so most of the time but the rest sounded pretty ok and I'm absolutely stoked ☺️😁

One thing I want to start doing this year is taking better care of my bluesky and LinkedIn profiles.
Any profiles you'd recommend for 3d environment art in games and/or technical artists?

Glad to see so many people coming over from Twitter this week. If one thing you liked about Twitter was following people who make games, I have two starter packs I made to recommend to you:

Also hi new followers!
Knowing this place doesn't train AI I might post some art from time to time, even if it's only a small drawing with ink.
Even some 3d!!

Update: after more than two weeks of playing a little bit almost every day, I can say it sounds terrific. Please note I said it sounds terrific, not I play terrific. One day... 🎷
I got a tenor saxophone. Only thing I know so far is that both the mouthpiece and the body are huge compared to alto saxo.
I'm excited to hear how it sounds!

Does anyone that I know usually cycle with their kid/s (younger than 3 or that age) in a back seat?
I'm seriously considering getting one for September when school starts.

My teacher today: so you're actually not playing a G
Me: oh sorry
Teacher: no it's the way it should be. You're actually playing a B flat, we just all call it G. That's the way it is in saxo alto.
😵🤯
February 27, 2024 at 8:32 PM
First saxo 🎷 lesson dooone! Cool is an understatement 😃 moreover it's not as expensive to start as I expected since I can borrow an instrument from the school! 😄

Now I "only" need to learn how to breath in order to extract some sound from it! Let's do this! 💪

This, very much. Everyone has ideas and opinions. As managers, we can try to find the time to listen to them. That doesn't absolutely mean we should follow and/or approve them all.
On the one hand, I appreciate the idea behind encouraging managers to use "Yes, and..." in workplace discussions.

On the other...look, some ideas are just non-starters and entertaining them at any level is a waste of resources.
