"Pixelart for Programmers", a workshop which I co-hosted with @alemango.bsky.social at Games industry Conference 2025was very positively received.
Participants said "We thought you'd show us how to draw, but what you did here was better and much more useful for us!"
I am back at home again!

How to successfully offend graphics artists:
- use mixed pixel sizes
- stretch & squash pixels
- sloppily cut out UI elements with gray leftovers
- have leftover colors in outlines
- use fonts with really bad kerning
- make sure every font has a different size

Twitter always faked numbers on likes but it now hit totally absurd levels.

My last "Pixelart for Beginners" post, suddenly got 1400 likes and lacked any of the other hard indicators - e.g. comments / referral numbers etc. Which are stable for the real engagement I see.

Numbers get faked heavily.
