I don't have the proper words to say more than this now but

I was just laid off. My role at Giant Squid is being eliminated.

If your studio is looking for an environment artist, please let me know ASAP. I have 5+ years of experience.

thank you

Hey!

Do you need a highly technical character artist with almost 15 years of individual contributor and leadership experience? Looking for someone to wrangle your shaders? Or perhaps you need a person to assemble your character art pipeline?

That's me!

I'm on my way to the Senate floor to talk about the assault on my colleague, Senator Alex Padilla.

This is a horrifying moment in our nation’s history.

If there were no NDAs all around I could tell you about twenty projects in the last five years alone that followed these exact steps except for "and it all came together beautifully". If anything can be learned here, it's not that they found a writer on a writing site and a musician on a music site.
The making of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 could be made into its own movie.

- Led by a former, bored Ubisoft dev
- The team was almost all junior devs
- Writer was found on Reddit
- Composer was found on SoundCloud

And it all came together beautifully.

I hope everyone working on LLMs has reckoned with their role in building a technology that, so far, has offered little to no benefit to humanity — while causing real harm by degrading art, undermining labor in creative industries, and straight up automating political propaganda

This makes me so angry - because this translates to "I too would like to make a lot of money"

But let's be real. You would not have published Balatro.

You want a lightning strike- fund 20 games. Fund 30 games. Fund so many damn games that maybe you find the right field to be struck by lightning.
Publisher bizdev people at events like GDC and Dice trying to sign "the next balatro" should realize that, statistically, the developer of "the next Balatro" you need to be talking to isn't at GDC or Dice talking to bizdev guys seeking 2m+ in funding
