It doesn't and I've put in a support request myself for it. You should too! I've seriously unfollowed people because they flood my feed with RTs

Clients want to be JRPGs.

You get to the final deliverable and nail it but only then is it revealed there was a secret stakeholder the whole time.

What do you mean these notes have a third boss phase?!

Rolling credits on Alan Wake II and I'm enjoying how many post production shops were involved beyond the typical game dev outsourcing.

I know not every game can be made by Remedy but a boy can dream

Pulling footage for a reel can make you feel like you've never made any good work in your whole life.

somehow no matter how many times I turn off promotion notifications it turns back on because they're getting paid to promote gambling. This is not okay venmo

Calvin and Hobbes meme:

Every Jason Statham movie is a transporter, a snatch, or a meg.

Beekeeper? That's a transporter.
Expendables? That's a snatch.

You'd think the Italian job would be a transporter but it's actually a snatch.

This is so cool

If the setup didn't seem so fiddly (like most racing sims) I'd be all over it

My new conspiracy theory is... with the knowledge that stopping support for Animate would have backlash, Adobe used the "Door in the Face" negotiating technique. By rolling it back users are inclined to be slightly less annoyed than if it was the original ask.

Snowgraph 2026 was a huge success! We hit the slopes, played board games, talked shop and had a great time.

Thanks to everyone who made it out. You make this event special.

Here's looking forward to our 11th Snowgraph next year!

We spent 4 years designing the perfect lid.

What an incredible look into how product design is just as iterative a process as graphic design or motion design.

The online consensus seems to be "turn off notifications and have slackbot remind you to turn them back on again in 2 hours"

We live in a society

It's crazy that in 2026 you can't temporally stop notifications on a slack channel.

My Discover Weekly playlist is basically all Sawano.

I don't know how Spotify figured out I need to lock-in for work this week but they're making it happen.

Any one of these daily atrocities should result in a full congressional investigation and a disbanding of the agency. The fact that it’s all just shrugged off by those with the power to stop it is a national disgrace.

Two weeks to go until Snowgraph-Chicago 2026!

Every year, the people are the best part of this trip.
Letting loose
celebratory first times
late-night games
conversations away from screens

Join us in the cabin or on the slopes. If you’re a Chicago motion designer on the fence, this is your sign.
