A photo of a stack of games called Pressed designed by an incredible designer has been lovingly scribbled around and stickered to draw the user's attention.

The current iteration has added a vignette to the myriad of attention-grabbing effects.

It's only a sidewalk if it's from the sidewalk region of france. Otherwise it's just a

A sidewalk that has construction going on, to the right of it is a large yellow sign that says cultural Trail narrows. The photo is slightly angled, indicating that the person taking the photo does not take photos for a living, but he assures you he does!

📸 Hey #GenCon, you know how you always forget to get pictures at conventions? And then you're left with some random photos off someone's phone? Consider one of my 30 Minute Photo Blocks! Reasonably priced! Same day delivery upon request! calendar.app.google/sHNeG9ohRaMZ...

A fantastic person handing Unpub supplies to an eager play tester at Unpub. He's laughing because the guy behind the camera said something really funny and entertaining, leading to a great photo session.

Lost in thought, a woman takes notes during her event, completely unaware that the photo was being taken place, because the photographer is just that discrete and professional and able to take such breathtaking candid photos.

A wonderful designer signing copies at a table full of enthusiastic gamers. They're so lost in the moment that they forgot to take pictures. Thank God I was there to capture such a moment.

You'll appreciate this tidbit included on my shirt store that should be launching sometime this week.

A screenshot of a website where you'll be able to get some really cool shirts designed by a rather handsome fella.

The screenshot reads "Human Made, products made entirely without generative Ai. It's really not that hard."

Guys I have terrible news

JC@jcw· Jul 2

Me, as I try to explain to multiple companies over the past week as I try to explain why I'm turning down their offer of work to make social media "content:"

A warning pop-up from the far too expensive program After Effects that reads "After Effects error: internal verification failure, sorry! {no current context}."

Oh neat, my review of Factorio is the most helpful review on Steam:

A review on the online game platform Steam for the game factorio. The headline, written by an incredibly attractive man I might remind you, says "I don't think that anyone reading a review for factorio should play factorio." it has a lot of rewards and is marked as the most helpful review.

Hey @bsky.app, if you're going to force age verification on users, despite that being absurd in the first place, maybe make sure it actually works before rolling it out. Unbelievable.

An annoying and frankly dystopian pop up that requests the user to verify their age. At the bottom is a red box that says "Something went wrong, please try again." of which trying again reveals the same box.

See, now that I know "hub first" is a bonus criteria, I could actually get the perfect game 😁✨

An incredibly handsome man achieved a perfect game worth 201 points on Hank Green's 4x3 daily puzzle, a much more engaging version of connections if I'm being honest.

Aaaaaaaand I found more. 🙃

The same good lookin' guy realized he had another five whole projects to update onto his portfolio. He paid 3,000 effing dollars for this stupid website and he's not even using it.

JC@jcw· Jun 23

Wow it's been a HOT second since I updated that thing 😅

A screenshot of this really good lookin' guy's to do list. It shows a wild number of subtasks underneath the task "Update Portfolio"

JC@jcw· Jun 21

I did it... FOR YOU 😭💙

JC@jcw· Jun 21

Update: it doesn't even work.

A disheveled but extremely handsome man underneath the scruff looks in disdain at an inexplicable power outlet on the ceiling.

This also can include getting some headshots and other profile pic worthy photos! Such value! How does he do it?

A great photo of a man in front of a busy convention hallway, expertly blurred out to prevent it from distracting from the subject.

Another photo of a different person who looks so happy to have their photo taken by such a handsome photographer.

An incredible person excitedly holding a prize with their tongue out. The photo captures their essence.

Yo #Origins! 📸 ✨ I've got some time to kill and I brought a super heavy fancy lense, so if you want pictures of your booth/event/panel, feel free to reach out to me to book a 30 minute slot! Super affordable pricing and same-day delivery so you can use them to promote your booth during the con!

Three people at a playtest discussing something important, probably. They look incredible in the photo, honestly the best they've ever looked in my opinion. I, the photographer, am the common denominator in this situation.

A really stylish picture of some games on a shelf at a convention. It's the kind of picture that makes you say "wow, I wish my games had such a good photo like that one for an affordable price with a hands-off workflow for me."

A really flattering candid picture of a girl with colorful hair and a name I can't remember (sorry) playing a board game that surely sold better having had this photo taken and delivered the same day so that they could use it to promote their game on social media.

A girl at an event for the board game Knitting Circle who is also actually knitting. She has a look on her face that says "wow, the photographer is so good at capturing candid moments!"

I swear to god I'll make another rap song American Airlines.

The haircut place I go to is hella expensive but dang they give a mean haircut.

An incredibly handsome freshly shorn sexy man.

I've been a very good boy this year 🥺 (and don't have expendable income but really really really like the sweatyfest tanks this year 😭)

This weekend was a blast! I had a great time and I wish I got more chances to play more, but I'll always savor what I had as always 💙 Also, there was a round of Blood on the Clocktower, which isn't on here. That was phenomenal as always.

The new Google sheets app icon looks like it got run over by a car, poor thing.

An oblong green rectangle app icon that in no way is indicative of a spreadsheet. The word sheets underneath it indicates that this is the Google Sheets application, which no same person would be able to recognize unless they had prior experience with the app.

Good morning to this squirrel I saw on my walk this morning and no one else.

I have a hunch that Adobe Audition doesn't need this level of precision when telling you its export times.

I'm so mad none of y'all commented on how funny and layered it is to put this as the answer for both of these categories. In other words, please clap.

The screenshot from the quoted post highlighting the two categories favorite protagonist and favorite antagonist, both of which show the video game The Stanley Parable as the selected game.

JC@jcw· Apr 11

Alright I'll bite. I hate answering supeatives like "favorite" and "best" but this was fun once I stopped trying to give "correct" answers.

Favorite game SSX 3, best story Baldur's gate, favorite art style cuphead, biggest personal impact minecraft, best combat hi-fi rush, overhated League of legends, underrated Peglin, overrated Blue Prince, needs a remake Super Mario sunshine, criminally overlooked the case of the golden idol, favorite protagonist the Stanley parable, favorite antagonist the Stanley parable, best soundtrack ftl, best multiplayer Mario Party 6, not usually my thing but.. night in the woods, turn my brain off Bloons Tower Defense 6, best with friends dead by daylight, best Retro Game Warriors woods, nostalgic childhood game Super Mario world, best game everyone should play outer wilds.

This is probably the best I've done at a difficulty 12 song! #DDR

JC@jcw· Apr 4

It's not even a good score but I'm glad I'm doing harder songs than I used to! #DDR

It's a super elegant(?) solution to the issue, and gives me that exact look I was going for without having to set up a billion lights.

A screenshot of blender nodes that show emission and principled BSDF nodes plugged into a mix shader node, with a light path node controlling whether or not the emission/principled shader is shown. Both shaders have their color being controlled by the same source.

I hate when phone cameras do this.
