2025 is off to a great start: €1400+ in subscriptions canceled and 3 social networks deleted. Twitter? Gone when Musk brought the sink. Facebook and Instagram? Bye, too. Feels good to ditch the clutter—both digital and financial. Minimalism, but make it modern."

Happy 30th anniversary - developed games on PS2, PS3, PS4 and PS5, but only owned a PS - remember peeps saying it was the hardest to develop on. Guess I had it easy then the last 25 years.

It felt like working as a mechanic this weekend to get everything to work for #msfs2024 #asobo Specifically, the scripting to get the Streamdeck connected with it. The amount of plastic and cables ... 😂 I think I will cleanse my mind with some animated shows to top the weekend off instead of flying.
My msfs20/24 setup at home. Way too much plastic and cables.

Netlfix Moments is currently only available on iPhone, but it already could be a nice way to bookmark reference (albeit only on Netlfix) for Animation and share it across a wider range of platforms. Hopefully soon on Andoid?

Video Game Animators, where you at?

I've created a new starter pack and added a few folks to get the ball rolling.

If you're a video game animator (specifically) then drop your handle in the replies.

Reposts welcome 🙌🏻
