The sheer scale of layoffs in games this year has really been unprecedented. Can you think of a better year to unionze?

Texture artists, I highly suggest checking out model artists for inspiration, they’ve been doing it longer in the physical space, and have good philosophies on texturing that correlates well into 3D.

Don’t let these kind of industry racists go unchecked/unchallenged, & don’t feel bad cause they ‘spiraled out’. This kind of mentality doesn’t just come over night. Clearly a racist. Mfs like this stay in the industry when we stay silent, appreciate everyone who has spoken out.

Blender being free is cool & all but that community is kinda exhausting. I get it, it’s free, but if y’all are trying get a job at a AAA studio it’s a good idea to learn maya/max.

My Mexicans, latinx Chicago, don’t lose sight that the police that rounds us for deportation is the same org that brutalize our black brothers & sisters. We should never turn on each other. A race war is what they want so we can tear each other down, if we do that we all lose.
