Oh, wow, Tom Lehrer has released all of his songs into the public domain. Apparently also his website will shut down "at some date in the not too distant future" so now's a good time to download directly.

"In short, I no longer retain any rights to any of my songs.
So help yourselves, and don’t send me any money."

1/7 With all the talk about moderation on mastodon, most of the discussions I’ve seen have centered on the work and experiences of paid commercial content moderators. But volunteer community moderators have done this work for a long time! I’m going to share some of my favorite papers about the experiences of community content moderators. Apologies to the authors if you’re on Mastodon and I didn’t tag you! And please share your favorites!

I’ll be hosting my Environmental Storytelling talk this Tuesday the 29th at 18:30 CET (12:30pm EST/9:30am PT)

This one is pretty big, and a lot of work on my end 🤓 As usual, this talk is art-oriented & accessible for for everyone!

Hope to see you then😊

The #gameartdirection knowledge hub! Hello:) My name is Genevieve and I’m a gamedev vet of 19+ years & Senior Art Director. I'm happy to share my knowledge with curious or aspiring developers alike :) Curious? The most well-known titles I've worked on: BGE2, AC Origins, R6 Siege, and Just Dance 3.

There's a weird (good) giddiness in the air here.
People seem excited to share and connect with new people.

This...if this feeling can be nurtured and extended and spread around, the world would be a better place.

A clean slate for many folks.

There are always a few cantankerous souls, but they're far and few so far.

Might just be me, of course. So much sadness weighs ya down elsewhere, that when it's not there it's like a clear sky & crisp air.
Load off your shoulders.
Nice people are nice.

Dear #gamedev

If you're interested in writing, narrative design and all things story, I would love to connect with you! ❤

I'm sad about the loss of our former community on Twitter, but I'm focused on growth and wanna deal with change in a constructive way :)

Let's be uplifting and focused on making each other's lifes a bit better than yesterday :)

So, if you're interested in connection, growth and honing the craft, let me know!

I'm currently building a "Art Direction Beginner's Kit" presentation.
It is aimed at new #artdirectors but also #gamedevs that are building a game and would like some help in organising this fairly big task!

** What would be your most pressing questions you'd like answered in this talk? **

Please boost for better reach and help :)

I also offer advice (whether you ask for it or not) on API design, documentation, etcetera.

I just like to see what folks are working on and then critique until you tell me to leave.

Win win!

I'm a strong believer that giving and getting code reviews is one of the most important skills an engineer can work on, so this helps both of us.

I'm a big fan of sharing knowledge and trying to help people new to a field. I've made this offer quite a few times, with few bites but, are you a new or junior software engineer?

If so, and you want someone to give feedback or do a code review or two, feel free to reach out.

I won't look at a company's code, but your personal stuff? Sure.

My background is C# for the last 2 decades, so that covers Javascript, Java, C#, etc.

Can do professional CRs (more nitpicky) down to just hints...

UPDATE: no need for further boosting. Thank you everyone!

My boss, Matt Mullenweg, the boss of Automattic, owner of Tumblr, is looking for ex-Twitter employees for Tumblr, saying,

"we're putting on a fast track to see how they can help super-charge Tumblr. We can't absorb thousands of people, but I'd be open to hiring entire teams if they already work great together."
