Now that the Great Exodus is happening...
Hi! I'm Xavier. I'm a 3D character/technical artist who's been in games for over a decade. I've worked on some stuff you've probably heard of and a lot you haven't.
And yes, I am the guy personally responsible for making Rivet jacked.

A man who is completely and incongruously oversexified compared to the rest of the characters in the game so you have license to make everyone else into sluts
This goes doubly for games with no characters in them

I dive into different ways to rasterize dynamic effects (explosions, attacks, etc.) using Niagara, and show how to apply them to foliage & particles. Check it out!⬇️

A rare interview with the creators of the always-funny, always-brilliant, and *usually*-sexy—or occasionally anti-sexy—OGLAF!
Cooper has kept a low profile over the years, but is legitimately one of the very best artists in comics today. Read OGLAF if you're old enough to drive!

Talking Oglaf with Trudy Cooper and Doug Bayne: 'We'd stay up all night drawing stuff to make each other laugh' - The Comics Journal

Pretty much all affordability discourse could benefit from just posting this chart.
If you're in the better off America, all the luxury goods you want in excess are for the most part much cheaper. If you're in the poorer America, most of the shit you need to live/grow is more expensive.

I just got to the episode of Deep Space Nine where we meet the new changeling, and somehow in all the times I've watched this show I never noticed that it was the same actor who plays Martok, and who's appeared many other times across the series
This is part of why I miss the 90s format of TV

I think it's unfortunate that there aren't many good examples of unreliable narrators in video games, especially since the very nature of games' interactivity and physicality means there are many more vectors for lying to the audience
What if the in-game map had all kinds of lies and distortions?
