Please don't tell me my guess is "as good as yours". My guesses — which are educated, by the way — are worlds better than yours

the friction of digging and mixing what you apply is where the learning happens! not being able to get your hand held by someone who else any minute of the day is why you internalize! it is not fixable by the technology improving, if it was perfect someday this problem would actually be even *worse*

Thinking a lot lately about the simple fact that college allows people to spend about 15 weeks immersed in a disciplinary conversation with an expert in that field. And what a special thing that is.

the only good thing about genAI is that it got me to really love seeing bad art, because I know a person put in time and effort, made themselves vulnerable by showing it to others, and is trying to improve. I value that more than anything now

This is a great point and raises something we should always remember: all movies are products of their age in ways we don’t always understand. Early 2020s cinema will be marked by COVID lockdowns and carry the echo of mass death even if we can’t easily see how.
For reasons I needed to watch Its a Wonderful Life again last night.
Will do a thread closer to Christmas about it, but next time you watch it, remember this:
Both Capra and Stewart had just come back from WW2. Consider every directing, script and acting decision with that context in mind.

Writing for Barrow was a blast! It’s a shame we won’t be able to release it in all its glory, but the team did such amazing work on this game and I’m super proud to have been a part of it 💚🪴
Introducing Barrow!
A Gardening FPS where your Grandma has opened a portal to a decaying underworld in her cottage town.
We were unable to secure funding but I'm excited to share what the team built.

Why am I so against generative AI in games?
Because I simply do not want my initial reaction to art to be one of suspicion and scrutiny, AI slop is fundamentally damaging my relationship to art and artistry, and I am deeply resentful that it is forcing me to be guarded when I should be wowed.

I saw a post this morning somewhere about trying to draw an upturned chin from below and yeah - that's a tough one!
You need to rely a lot on shading the form rather than lines for this usually. Beards can be a nice cheat. 😋
Here's a few refs to try today if you want the challenge. ⭐
