"buying music is expensive but i wanna support artists and spotify is the only option for that" i have a tip for you:
pirate all the music you want. all of it. no matter how much. set aside each month a spotify subscription's worth of money and use that to buy something off of bandcamp or itunes.

Say it with me now- placeholder assets are supposed to be bright and obvious so you DON’T ship with them.

Also it doesn’t matter if no ai-generated assets are in the final executable?? The rising sea levels aren’t gonna be like “oh well no one saw that so the climate change doesn’t count”

Wikipedia... IS THE SUMMARY. THAT'S WHAT AN ENCYCLOPEDIA ARTICLE IS. A SUMMARY.

a $4 million movie made in a year on free open-source software winning the Animated Film Oscar is going to make the industry a little shook

It’s a little weird to me to see folks saying that this is Demi Moore’s last chance to win an Oscar because, presumably, she’s too old?
Like, wasn’t the Hollywood perception of aging actresses the villain in the movie she was nominated for?

Are they like memorializing the Bond franchise because Amazon bought it and it's gonna suck shit from now on

People love to explain mechanics in video games, but I think there is value in discovering them on your own.

"Flow" won the Oscar for Best Animated Film ♡

me shaking you violently: you need to create!! art is expression!! perfection is just a concept!! mistakes are learning endeavors!!!
I NEED YOU TO CREATE!!

if the workplace closes in 10 minutes dont fucking come in here, go elsewhere you stupid assholes

The sooner we can stop making animation a competition and treat it more like artists getting inspired by one another with each new film or show coming out, the better. Like, I want to celebrate films being released and not trash others for how much money they make over another.

The biggest damage the internet has done is convince ppl an artist needs to be a passive audience friendly doormat forever grateful for the opportunity to fill ppl’s feeds with content, it is your obligation and god given right to be an entirely self serving weirdo, you’re the one who labors dipshit

Stop shutting down game studios you freaks.

"they did NOT have to make the music go so hard for such a simple game"

uhhh yes they did. if anything, a simple game is the one who needs a fire music track the most
