Hey lord dictator @elonmusk Your bot issue is out of control. 1 tweet since you took over this hellsite and i get flooded. Fix your shit or are you too busy playing puppet master with the government and peoples lives.
Shoutout to all the talented folks at @Obsidian. @AvowedtheGame was amazing and def one of my favorite ARPGs yet. Absolutely amazing combat and story, incredible art and use of UE5, and truly a fantastic experience.
Cant wait for @OuterWorlds 2!!!
Goddamn. Nobody wants to Die by @CHGdeveloper was fantastic. Amazing art direction and even better story. 10/10 will be recommending this to anyone who will listen.
Wishing every chud posting hateful and ignorant comments under the Talented Bungie Employees (and my friends) who were laid off, a very horrible existence and a curse upon your current and future bloodlines 😄😁

Literally fucking everyone.
Heady back to Washington today after a long vacation of family time and a screaming infant. Previous prayers to the gods of weather seem to be holding strong, may finally get home without a hitch.
I’m not doing any portfolio reviews this year and ending my mentorships.
Apologies to those I didn’t get to but here’s things I found myself going over multiple times:
> Most of you were graduates. Your universities failed to prepare you for the industry. Most of you didn’t know basic industry workflows and the most common thing was to point you to YouTube/discords to help you learn things that should have been foundational. Your degree means nothing when applying for a job and if you don’t have a job within 6 months of graduating consider binning everything you have and starting over fresh.
> 32/38 portfolios I reviewed were from artists that had no idea what they wanted to ‘be’. Nobody actually had a conversation with them as students about what sort of job they really wanted. This should be the first thing to consider when building your portfolio. You NEED to be passionate about the work you do as it shows in your art.
> The reality is that there is soooo few entry level jobs right now and I had to tell most people they simply weren’t good enough yet. It’s competitive but not impossible. Nobody had been honest with them before. Being an artist does require some thick skin, you need to be realistic about your skill level and if it’s at all useful to a quality team. Don’t let it put you off. Keep improving, keep doing art. The only way you won’t succeed is if you give up.
> 3/4 great pieces is better than 20 mediocre pieces in your portfolio.
> generalists are useful in most teams but don’t see it as ‘master of none’ but being adept at a broad range. Being kinda mediocre at everything doesn’t mean you’d be a good generalist.
> few studios will give a junior a visa. If they do it’s usually for specialists.
> blender is fine.
> if you post work on a public discord and don’t take feedback well, chances are the professionals in those servers will notice and write you off if they see you apply to their studio.
> fanart is fine but stop slapping big franchise logos on your art to make it look official in the thumbnail.
> Don’t model from AI generated concept art. If you use human made art you can contact the artist about their intent if somethings confusing. Most concept artists love supporting 3D artists.
I’ll add to the thread if I think of others
claim no ones there to sign, required to manually ask for a redelivery, now can only deliver later than expected, then NEVER SHOW UP on the rescheduled date. Fucking absurd.
How is @USPS still the worst delivery service for anything that isnt mail. Order something, expected delivery on the 29th, they try to deliver early on the 28th, NEVER KNOCK OR RING MY DOORBELL,
This is next level. It might not look like much to a layman but what George is doing here is skipping the prompting stage entirely and interfacing directly with the software, cutting out the guesswork and the middleman that you find in traditional generative methodologies.
Jeezus Christ #Starfield is fantastic! This game is gonna consume my whole life for a while. Fantastic job @bethesda and their team of talented devs! Excited to spend more time among the stars.
