Just make the dumpsters look like cybertrucks and drivers won't notice.
My favorite is when they show side-by-sides of him and the character that are different f'n expressions. Just like with any mocap, sometimes it's better to bin bad data or a bad transfer and start from scratch. I know for a fact that has happened to some of his work.
Haha I saw this sign at the #amtrak station in Whitefish, Montana last week. I love it.
I couldn't find the original post by @sketchesbyboze.bsky.social but hard agree with this point. This was my message in my GDC song in 2023: "Without a soul and heart can a machine really make art? Or have we set the bar so low we can't tell the two apart?"
This is the 3rd or 4th time I've uninstalled this fucking AI malware.
The enshittification continues. Using Facebook from a PC, I can no longer message people until I install their app. "For security!"
This administration has been great for people needing a fucking cigarette.
The only video from #NewYears small enough for BSky. Berlin does not fuck around. Lots of car fires, at least one flood, non-stock explosions for hours. Amsterdam is the only one I've witnessed closed to this.

I nearly said "Happy 12/15/25 (and 25/12/25 to the Europeans!)" then I thought "I bet the latter is the whole rest of the world and as usual, the Americans are the assholes." So TIL...
In Europe, a lot of groceries have a "Nutri-score" (A-E grade) so you can quickly eyeball how healthy it is. Seems like a great idea. Salmon is an A. Vegetables are all A. Smoked salmon is a D (carcinogens?) The other day I saw a loaf of white bread with an A score and now I'm very confused.
Hit a key and accidentally got this. Funny, because I very clearly remember uninstalling Copilot.
The Games Industry's obsession with going all in on "shit that's never proven to work is going to save us all" continues with "AI everything!"
Hey #gamedev audio friends! Anyone want to help out on an announce trailer? Broke indies and tight deadline so basically a dream job. LMK if interested. (Will be trying Upwork as well) #audio #gameaudio
This is a great way to start a new program for the first time. Rather than "flop around til you learn our bullshit" it's "what language do you already speak, that will help you get started?" Thanks #DaVinciResolve for good #UX
