Stress less about high poly shading errors in gamedev. Chances are you won't see most of them anyway.
Always keep in mind the 6 levels of "Does It Matter?":
- Model
- Bake
- Texture
- Compression
- In-game effects
- Viewing distance
Good Enough™ will save you time and sanity.

Finally done with this book after almost a year of procrastinating. Bleak as hell and super dense, so getting through it was slow. Brilliant work of contemporary climate history though

As I looked into the cell I saw a pitiful sight. An elf. One of the tall, spindly ones created to peep at people through second floor windows.
It had clawed its eyes out. Driven mad by the endless years of having to bear witness to the deeds of naughty children

Some work from this morning. Always wanted to do series of abstract planets, so here's the first one. Trying to reset a bit and get back to where I need to be. Just a lot of life happening and I fizzled out the last month.

But when we crave power over life—endless wealth, unassailable safety, immortality—then desire becomes greed. And if knowledge allies itself to that greed, then comes evil. Then the balance of the world is swayed, and ruin weighs heavy in the scale.

If you pay attention to any large industry long enough and follow it to its logical conclusion you eventually end up sounding like a communist even if you started off testing CPU case fans. youtu.be/cUrJVdF2me0?...

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)

We spoke to a dozen professional concept artists who are currently or have previously worked in game development about whether generative AI image tools have made their jobs any easier.
Zero said it did. Most said it made things harder.

Concept Artists Say Generative AI References Only Make Their Jobs Harder
“The ‘early ideation stages’, when worlds are being fleshed out by writers and artists, are literally crucial to the development of a game’s vision,” said one artist.

I think it's good to keep getting mad about evil and unjust things, if only to remind yourself and everyone else that these things are in fact evil and unjust. I don't think it's naive. Nor is it wise and sophisticated to adopt a "You fool, nothing matters and nothing good can ever happen" posture
