リプ欄見ると、他人の不幸に飛びついてしたり顔で講釈垂れて悦に入ってる惨めな連中の多いこと…挑戦者を笑って自分はさも失敗してない勝者のように振る舞ってるけど、ならばお前が攻撃してる相手以上に何か誇れることをしたのか、出来るのか、自分自身を振り返ってみろよ…全くもって笑止千万である…

@henningsanden Sad to see it go but while it lasted it was by far my favorite marketplatform as a creator. Best of luck with the refocused flippednormals!

Hi everyone! Happy New Year 2026! ✨
Back to where the legend began.
To start the year, here’s my 3D recreation of Link from the original 1986 The Legend of Zelda. Thank you all for the support! 2026 is going to be a big year for Zelda! #Zelda #TheLegendOfZelda #Link #3DArt #3DModeling #GameArt #FanArt #HappyNewYear2026 #zelda40th

still missing pieces of the mesh and working on material but eh, physics test

[Tim @polybutts]

This was quite a tumultuous year being laid off but I'm one month into a new job and an exciting new project so 2026 is looking better already!

Watched a crusty compressed wmv of the FFX-2 intro with this song more times than I can remember before the release back in 2004. A full serve.

Literally why. Not that I have been a fan their other games but why this pivot? Same with Remedy's FBC: Firebreak - almost no one who enjoy your other games is gonna get into this.

[Saved You A Click Video Games @SYACVG]

Quantic Dream is making a free-to-play competitive team-based 3v3 action strategy game called Spellcasters Chronicles. Closed beta set to launch on Steam before the end of the year.

@IsThisA3DModel I feel sick. If anyone is impressed by this they should be sent out of orbit.

@sabtherobot So sorry to hear that Sab. Excited to see new stuff from you though!

[Tim @polybutts]

@rikard86 Welcome to the team! ✨

[Tim @polybutts]

Sherlorc or Saint?

[Tim @polybutts]

@Ninjason_Chan That is true and thanks for saying that. Right now my mental wellbeing is in a catch 22 situation where being without financial security is draining it but so is jumping through all these hoops trying to get a job 😂

[Tim @polybutts]

Wrote another dumb blog post about the latest and final time I did an art test

[Tim @polybutts]

@finnethew @fritzisonfire I have also gotten positions with art tests but I have never done anything as extensive as a full finished character of this level before. Under normal circumstances I would have said no to this as well but it's desperate times and some companies exploit that.
