You there. I want you to say, aloud, at some point today "I'm really glad I'm good at..." And then you're gonna say something you think you do pretty well.

If you don't think you do anything pretty well, I want you to say "one little thing that makes me unique is..."

And if you can't do either?

Battle doomscrolling by posting 5 small pleasures in life:

1. Evenings when the air is warm and still 🍂
2. When a friend uses a mannerism you know they picked up from you ✨
3. The smell of onions being fried 🧅
4. A pet coming in from another room looking for you 🐾
5. Ice cream from a van 🍦

Very interested in Borderlands 4 but trying to save money right now so playing through Borderlands 3 (which I happened to have for some reason) and I got to say it's so much better than I had got an impression of 🤔

Spent all day clearing out all the Bokoblin camp near my flat, it was hard work but at least that's that problem solved!

My mum once lost me in a M&S for such a long time that they literally brought the shutters down so nobody could leave.

The entire time I was hiding in a clothes rail because I was embarrassed to be wearing my Thunderbirds costume and sash (that I had insisted on wearing).

Seeing all this love for Superman and I truly feel I must have seen a different movie 😅 It was fun don't get me wrong but nowhere near what people are saying

This whole thing with the Alters is how I found out Expedition 33 also used and shipped with gen AI "placeholder" art, before patching it out.

Placeholder art doesn't need to look good or read well... it's a placeholder.

These companies are trying to legitimize this shit and getting caught out.

Look, I'm a junior dev, I'd bite your hand off for the chance to work on something like this. I also *really really* enjoyed playing E33.

But this is not and should not be seen as the blueprint for a successful game studio 😅

I've worked on multiple games like this that will never see the light 🥲
The making of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 could be made into its own movie.

- Led by a former, bored Ubisoft dev
- The team was almost all junior devs
- Writer was found on Reddit
- Composer was found on SoundCloud

And it all came together beautifully.

Finally reading Battle Royale by Koushun Takami and while I knew it had at least inspired that genre of game I didn't realize it's practically a seminal text for that specific mode of game design holy moly

Movie you’ve watched more than six times using gifs.

Just rolled credits on Sorry We're Closed ❤️

Trying to find the words to describe it and the best I've got is "If Russel T. Davies got to make Resident Evil" ??? Is that anything ???

Look it was very hot, very stylish and very gender

Also features one of the all time low poly rats 🐀

Trans Women are Women. Trans Men are Men. That's all there is to it. I'm sorry for everything this world is trying to do to you, because it is so much better for having you in it.

Took part in the last edition of this. Couldn't recommend it more! It gave me the opportunity to meet and share a creative space with a wonderful and diverse group of writers from a number of disciplines and styles.

Since the course I've felt more in control of my writing, and inspired to write! ✍️
