Amazing stuff. Really hope this is just the start of an industry-wide trend.
It just doesn't seem like it's possible to curate a positive experience there, and I've reached the point where I mostly just feel kinda shitty after using it. Anyway, I appreciate the tone here, and while I'm sure there are jerks, the algorithm seems to largely submerge them. It's nice!
I just checked my Twitter account and I have something like 25k accounts blocked. Despite that, though, I am still constantly exposed to the thoughts and feelings of AI evangelists, conspiracy theorists, and the most virulent bigots you can possibly imagine. Also: porn bots.
So I've been actively trying to use Bluesky instead of Twitter for a few weeks, and I have to say it's been really refreshing. While I haven't been able to remove Twitter completely - most of the animators and hockey accounts I follow aren't on Bluesky - the contrast between the two is stark.
Spending my Canada Day simultaneously tracking the horrific collapse of American democracy and also all of the NHL free agent signings.
Happy NHL draft day, to those who celebrate.
So good!!
Oh wow, beautiful work! (The game looks fun too).
This is older...some friends were trying to get funding for a tactical indie game and I did some mock-ups and preliminary designs for them. I still like this, though, and think it would have been fun to make if we'd had the chance.
Right, for some reason I always forget about Krita. I'll have to investigate that one too!
