Writers should internalize Lao Tzu's lesson about how the emptiness at the center of a wheel is what makes it useful, and how a pot is valuable because of where the clay *isn't*. Corporate geek culture has warped us into thinking that negative spaces are flaws that need to be fixed.

Can't stress this enough: nobody fucking cares what he was up to
Warner Bros. has said The Hunt for Gollum is in fact the first of two new Lord of the Rings feature films from Peter Jackson, Fran Walsh, and Philippa Boyens based on J. R. R. Tolkien's Middle-earth, as the company aims to make more of the franchise. With The Hunt for Gollum, we’ll get to see what Gollum was up to in the years between The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings.

WHITE HOOK RIVER let's you enjoy ice fishing and calming cold snow. But something seems... strange. Anyway, fish, upgrade, chat and explore. You really needed this break from it all. What all? You are...

Me (Oskar) and Olov ( @olov.bsky.social ) did a game jam and the theme was "Restore"

We didn't manage a complete game but are very happy with the results of our game "Wave Strider"

We even won the People's Choice Award for Best Art! 😊

The jam:

I was thinking... What could you bury under the snow? Rocks, bait, items etc. I think that could be fun exploration.

Strong feelings.

This daily theme was emotion, inspired by Egg-head from Disco Elysium. Palette was Autumn Harvest 37 by Mysunnyrose over on #Lospec

New day, old daily. I remember I was happy with how the texture turned out given the small amount of time I spent on it. The theme was Clue, palette is Vigaros 16 by Lizalot over on #Lospec

Haven't done any dailies in a long while so here's an old one. Theme was glass. Palette was 'not a Bauhaus, a Bauhome' by Digi over on Lospec

🎣We are hard at work changing the perspective from strict 2D into more 3D (keeping the Gameboy-ish retro vibe!) but here is a short teaser of things to come (no sound though). 😃
