I left school when I was 16 and got a job in North London doing my hobby of “making 3D” because Jez gave me a chance @ArgonautGames_ Whatever you love doing, keep at it because the rest falls into place ❤️ youtu.be/BcsfftwLUf0

I can't stop staring at this 😭🔥 @Cartesian_C broke down the mimic effect — procedural curves that move, twist, and displace in real time. No simulation. Just nodes. The fact that this comes with a full tutorial breakdown makes it even better 🙌 Save this Geometry Nodes workflows 👇 #Blender3D #B3D #GeometryNodes #ProceduralArt #BlenderTutorial #CurveAnimation #BlenderTips

Devs need to recognize that we’ve lost it to skill but not to originality and experience.

Rick Rubin on the power of creating something truly for yourself Elon Musk has said that Rick Rubin’s philosophy of creating something truly for yourself is how Tesla creates products. Rick elaborates on this philosophy in the clip below: “My only goal is to make something that I like, and I know that I can keep working on it until I like it. So in some ways there’s no pressure.” Rick doesn’t consider the audience at all: “The audience comes last… I’m not making it for them. I’m making it for me. And it turns out that when you make something truly for yourself, you’re doing the best thing you possibly can for the audience.” He argues that this is why there are so many bad movies today: “So many big movies are just not good. It’s because they’re are not being made by a person who cares about it. They’re being made by people who are trying to make something they think someone else will like. And that’s not how art works.” Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt argues a similar point: "If you think about the greatest products, they've almost always been designed for the benefit of the people who are actually building them.” Uber started out as a private timeshare limousine service for Garrett Camp and his friends. Microsoft started when Bill Gates and Paul Allen wrote a Basic interpreter for the Altair so they didn’t have to write machine language to program it. Drew Houston built Dropbox to make his files live online after forgetting his USB stick. Larry Page and Sergey Brin built Google for Stanford—and particularly for themselves—with the first server in Larry’s dorm room. Source: @LewisHowes (Nov 2023)

Be a prime revealing coherence

Game devs, please use real artists for your game’s Steam store capsule art. Thank you.

Money can’t buy good taste

Over the years I’ve found that under promising and over delivering works better.

Scary

@AmnestyUK @elonmusk Sorry, but nothing you just said makes any sense

Three reasons why the "Unite the Kingdom" rally this Saturday is worse than you think... @ElonMusk a little something for you at the end.

@BeanJuiceStudio solo only gets you part the way. you need other people to tell you where you're going wrong.

Game dev question of the day Would you rather be a solo dev or own a studio with employees?

not just game dev, anything creative in life

Remember, game dev is easy to everyone who has never attempted to make a game. If you're struggling right now, you're already doing what most people only ever talk about. Keep going, keep learning. ❤️

@16bitnostalgia Starballs

Give me a video game but replace one word with ‘balls’

@natnat24240 @PolitlcsUK This has been happening a lot longer than the WEF.

@giles @PolitlcsUK This is the WEF agenda, created by King Charles not Starmer's. He's just the puppet

🚨 WATCH: The King confirms the Government will "proceed with the introduction of Digital ID"

@Ouren @PolitlcsUK history repeating itself etc..

@giles @PolitlcsUK It's taboo to acknowledge what is happening. Heads are in the sand on this while so many other dark things are in the headlines. The confusion is working.

@giles Ethics is objective, morality depends on culture. Both overlap and the most advanced cultures have a more ethical morality. I'm a computer scientist so my opinion on this is probably not the best

@coding_guille I like that take

is morality objective and art subjective?

@Ouren @PolitlcsUK I don’t think enough people get it yet.

@giles @PolitlcsUK The UK is a testbed my friend. Let's hope your home team is able to shake this off.

@coding_guille so morality cannot be objective?

@giles Morality depends on culture, so not objective
