We don’t use generative AI at Strange Scaffold and I can confirm that a *lot* of other studios are not—whether indie or AAA.

Get outta here with this normalization bullshit.

🚨 HELP STILL NEEDED! 🚨

I'm at 49% of the goal. Please reshare!
My old tablet is breaking and stops working while art is my only way of income. I need help with gathering funds to purchase new one.

Doodle of meh saying "please reshare, I need any help possible"

There is Ko-Fi goal screened - 49% of 1000$ goal:

My old tablet (Wacom Cintiq 13HD) is breaking badly after 10 years of constant usage and I desperately need replacement to be able to work. Due to my worsening back problems I need to get myself bigger alternative (I think about 24 inches screen display) that would lessen the strain on my back and wrist. Drawing is my only source of income so any donations are highly appreciated and will be used to purchase new tablet to continue my creative work!

Spooky Express has just launched into Halloween and it's the perfect cozy-spooky puzzler for the long nights.

Take charge of the Spooky Express; the only rail service willing to carry the undead passengers of deepest, darkest Trainsylvania.

I'll do a prettier post whenever I've got the energy for it, & realistically, no one hires right before the Holiday break 🫠

But! I've worn many hats in my ten years in games, so if you are looking for a producer with experience in event planning, marketing, release management & bizdev, hmu 🫡

I've reposted many posts made by folks who were recently laid off from Heart Machine, but here is a thread that highlights them all.

I am also including folks who were previously laid off & are still looking for work. I will be linking their Bsky posts, as well as LinkedIn.

Adding my voice to the chorus: the Sumud flotilla never entered Israeli waters. that is a lie. The Gazan coast is Palestinian territory (not even spiritually, like actually in international law) so the Sumud flotilla has not violated Israeli sovereignty. The Israelis intercepting them however…

I am finishing some timely commissions but I did manage to get a few new earrings done with some beautiful premium exotic hardwoods I rooted out of the lumberstore "exotic cuts" bin. Dressed them up nicely with stamped 925 Sterling Silver findings.
