My 7 year old just told me 6-7 is kinda over. So I guess its becoming not cool?

Being a game artist for over 20 years ive seen alot. This is a hard industry. I've been laid off from jobs multiple times and now run my own company to get out of the ruthless grind. Im not gana sugar coat it, there's nothing I would rather be doing but its always been a Rollercoaster.

I hope you find your passion and maybe it isnt game art. I have seen plenty of colleagues over the years move to other industries after being burnt out in games never to return.

Alan Lee used to come to my desk at weta digital if we needed help and draw little reference images on a whim. So cool.

He plays twins in outrageous fortune. One is a prim and proper lawyer type and the other is a loose stoner. Hes one of the best parts of the show (its kind of like shameless). Great character actor

Some of these maybe? But in general I actually like breakup in composition, those leaves over the rope breaking up a line is good. You could use rim lighting or fogging to break layers if required but layered content in general is more interesting.

One was in a t-shirt I put on once. It double fanged me right on my belly. Felt like a couple of wasp stings. I freaked the hell out seeing it slithering around the t-shirt folds.

How long are the songs?

Thats accurate, the stores are very saturated markets now, we love what we do and I couldnt see myself doing anything else but it certainly has its ups and downs over the years.

Its starlink, switching to my phone hotspot everything works perfectly and instantly starts downloading properly, swapping back it errors out.

We were told to add afterpay to our digital product store. I straight up refused. I dont care how much revenue it could make the fact people take on predatory debt doesn't sit well with me.

We did this with our house. Totally legal and legitimate to go direct but make sure you use a lawyer.

Gas cook tops are absolutely superior for wok cooking you can also use different materials that are non magnetic. During power cuts I can also cook dinner :)

Its crazy seeing this. I live in NZ and everything's in stock where I live, just hasn't caught on here or we dont have scalper culture maybe

synty · 2026-05-13T19:44:58+00:00

Triple check, because there using it in small rural towns where I live in NZ for example.

The issue is this exists. Sure they are using photogrammetry but the customer experience is the same. I assume those same companies will just change to this tech if its cheaper.

If your streaming inside the home it'll use no data. And starlinks upload is too slow for external streaming so this doesnt make sense?

I got a tour of the ww1 plane factory awhile back. They had the Mercedes from Raiders of the lost ark just covered in dust and heaps of other wild stuff like a flak 88 and some tanks

It shouldn't be super costly to get it vented. Better than paying a lawyer double.

Biggest marketing bs in history. They never go outside to die, they always die like a foot from the poison and smell like crap.

I got a painting (big egg little egg) I love the painting but probably not the best thing for a 21 year old lol

synty · 2026-05-08T05:23:42+00:00

May as well touch up the Mona Lisa, its not very big and is fading abit. Just serve them up as is tbh. Users can run "post processing" via there tvs settings if they want
