Big news for Arkheron! We're launching into Early Access on November 27! It's been a wild ride getting here, and I'm incredibly proud of what our team has built. Can't wait to get the game into more players' hands and start this next chapter together. arkheron.com/en_US/news/earl…

It’s very strange not being at BlizzCon. I am super excited to hear what’s been cooking, though!

I know that for reel standards this video is way too long, but in honor of #BlizzCon (first one I'm missing since 2019 😭) I'm posting all the bosses I got to animate for #WarcraftRumble. Let's celebrate this awesome game that got way too little exposure 💜 #gamedev #animation

GENERAL CHAOS - MAJOR SNAFU was launched last week on Kickstarter. 😃 It's about 75% complete, but we need Your Help to get it finished... (I'm semi-retired right now and I can't get everyone into one office I'm just my social security check.) kickstarter.com/projects/cha…

The ROAD to SNAFU Creating a Video Game Passion Project can be a long and winding road... Industry veterans Tim Kitzrow & Brian F Colin talk about getting MAJOR SNAFU to where it is today. youtu.be/bL-UX5dgZDA?si=_pmv… via @YouTube

They should change the name to "Strait of Schrödinger". It's both open and closed at the same time.

What the Artemis II astronauts did over the last 10 days was a testament to their bravery. And the fact that they traveled farther from Earth than anyone ever has, re-entered our atmosphere at more than 24,000 mph, and splashed down safely was a testament to human ingenuity. Thanks to everyone at @NASA for making this mission possible, and for taking us along for the ride.

Y’all very young, but there was a time when we used to spend money buying ringtones, and now I’ve had my phone on silent for like seven years.

Ye gods, what a time. Diablo AND Diablo 2 StarCraft Half-Life Dungeon Keeper Deus Ex The list goes on…
For those who used a computer between 1995 and 2001, what's the computer game from that time that sticks with you the most, and why?

Claude Code leaked their source map, effectively giving you a look into the codebase. I immediately went for the one thing that mattered: spinner verbs There are 187

StarCraft changed the trajectory of my career. It’s the reason I applied for a job at Blizzard back in 2000.
StarCraft released 28 years ago today!

I was part of the Epic layoffs today. I worked as a Art Outsource Lead overseeing Fortnite Lego minifigs. I worked on everything from K-Pop DH, to huge streamers and minifigs for the latest Superman movies. If you’re looking for a Outsource Lead, Lead Or Char artist let me know!
