Seems like a bad time to post this but is there ever a good time?

Just putting it out there that my current contract ends in the middle of November and I'll once again be looking for work as a character rigger/technical artist in games. I have a wealth of experience. 13+ years. Remote only please❤️
...and I still gotta work a job to survive?? Come on!!! 😩😩

A fun part of being in the UK right now is going to sleep and waking up to see your country has committed an act of war for no discernable reason. 😌

Going into 2026 with the energy my 90yo grandad had watching the world famous Edinburgh fireworks from his kitchen window. 'Nothing spectacular' and 'boring'. 😂😂

Not gonna post a retrospective of my year cause it's depressing. It's okay to have had a shit year where no major achievements were made. I don't really suspect 2026 will be much different, however.

Not sure if anyone is talking about how these rising GPU and RAM costs across the board will absolutely devastate gaming, and thus, games dev, even further. Hardware is going to be completely priced out of normal people's hands.
[Newsis] Consumer GPUs to increase in price next year. RTX 5090 to increase from $2000 to $5000

My wife had a single line in Kung Fu Panda 17 years ago and still gets checks every few months. Most are way smaller than this, but devs get $0 even though the games we work on will likely be sold for 10+ years soooo yeah.

Insurance that applies the coverage % before the deductible is insidious. :(

This is incredibly painful for me. I have never asked for help like this before. But I have had people reach out to me asking if they can help, so I am sharing my story and finally asking for help.

I've been lucky to have a lovely group of followers here, please share if you can, anything helps <3

"This promise of an AI future, is really just a collective anxiety that wealthy people have about how well they're gonna be able to control us in the future."

- @tressiemcphd.bsky.social with an absolute mic drop moment about AI bullshit.

Incredible words.
Listen to all of it!

Been thinking on the use of GenAi for mood boards. Ethics and legal risks aside, I truly believe using GenAi as references deprives one of many pivotal things.

Here’s a blurb on what I mean:

Our Discorders answered the question, 'what if the games of 2025 were Simpsons stills?' Judge the results for yourself.

I just can't fucking get over this.

I started an entire goddamn company because it's so impossible to find good references of clothing these days, and meanwhile people who have no idea what they're talking about are telling skilled craftspeople to do their job with slop.

FUCK.
If you need really high quality reference material of clothing from any historical era and you want to make sure the data is captured by human people who want to use it ethically, @render-ready.com is literally right here

This is a bad excuse for lazy craftsmanship
Cmon man maybe you should double check your posts before towing the company line.

Try not to be a downer but it's been a really shit year... My gran just passed today. My dad is still quite sore & ill; no job; my rights have been severely eroded in both my countries... and I'm sick for the first time in years to boot.

You inspired me so much. I'm glad I was here to say goodbye💜

Someone posted these emu on tumblr, they apparently have a genetic mutation and weren’t purposefully bred for this, but are living their best lives. And I find it fascinating to see, it’s also interesting to see their baby patterns still apparent on their body.
