#MinimalThread
I’m dealing with two home moves and a hospital stay over the next 60-ish days

I know overwhelm is a big problem for me. I have 1 week

I’m going to take this one small spot at a time. To empty/collate, clean/sift/pack, and make a hospital bag, a temp home case, & a new home storage

Alongside today’s big Shadow of the Colossus oral history, we have three bonus stories for paid subscribers. First up: Our full interview with Fumito Ueda and Kenji Kaido, talking about Wander’s character design, Warp’s influence on Team Ico, and why Ueda feels conflicted about the game’s ending.

Parts of our interview with Shadow of the Colossus' director and line producer ended up on the cutting room floor, so we put together an extended cut for those who want to read the full thing.

#repostober 14: minha Nossa Senhora da Bicicletinha

Another illustration that is sorta like a saint, but in an estilized art nouveau style, of a woman in biker gear, holding her water bottle, with the words "my our lady of the tiny bicycle, give me balance".

Hey im so sorry but I need to take bo to the emergency vet and I absolutely do not have enough to cover x rays as my wellness plan only covers the office visit. If you were ever interested in a book, now is a great time!

"Somewhere lost between the clouded annals of history, lies a place that few have seen..."
#otgw #fanart

A dark and shadowy fanart of the characters from Over the Garden Wall.
The Beast looms over Greg, Beatrice, and Wirt with his arms stretch towards them. His right hand reaches for Beatrice while his left creeps closer to Wirt's lantern, the soft glow revealing his hands to be very sketchy and scribbly. Wirt, Greg, and Beatrice walk close together as Wirt holds the lantern up with his left hand. Greg looks back to Beatrice with a happy expression as if ranting about another rock fact. He holds his frog (Jason Funderberker) in his right arm as he jaunts along the dark path. Beatrice flies low looking at Greg engaging in his enthusiastic ramblings.

The man who made movie poster art, well, *an art* has passed: the great Drew Struzan.

Loved his work.

Let's not forget how he was tasked to make a poster for The Thing in hours knowing only the premise of the original 1951 film. The paint was STILL WET when he handed it in.

May he rest in peace.

Even though we were expecting the news any day now, it makes me very sad. What an artist.

RIP Drew Struzan - a man whose talent and imagination etched onto so many minds throughout the last 40+ years.

His art & posters are some of the first visuals I think of when I think about cinema - an invitation to watch these stories and worlds.

A massive loss 💔

Yes, I am Autistic and yes I am biased against the concept of empathy and the fifty billion different things people think it is and yes those two things are related.

I am biased in favor of values that include caring about how my actions affect other people and trying not to harm other people.

Why @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, @chucktingle.bsky.social et al won't is clear: they THINK their reelection is locked up. They know the Americans who care don't have another option. And the second level leadership in the party is doing what they did with Biden: pretending nothing is wrong!

Spooky bird stories. Last year's Halloween comic.

A comic titled Spooky Bird Stories. In panel 1, a turkey vulture is telling stories to other vultures, and it says, "She walked toward the source of the terrible smell. She got closer and closer, and then, to her horror, she saw... No dead body." A black vulture says "No!" and a turkey vulture says "Did someone already eat it??"
In panel 2, a northern cardinal is telling a story to some songbirds. It says "They peered through the windows of the house at the gory scene. Zombies had smashed through the door in the night. The homeowner was dead. But worst of all... He hadn't refilled the feeders." An eastern bluebird says "Aaah!" and an American goldfinch says "It can't be!".
In panel 3, a screech owl is telling a story to other owls. It says "And then the ghost fluffed itself up really big to appear scarier." A saw-whet owl gasps, and a long-eared owl says "Horrifying!".
In panel 4, a downy woodpecker is telling a story to other woodpeckers, and says "The eerie sound rang through the dark woods. Tap-tap. Tap-tap. It was the distinctive two-part knock of the Ivory-billed Woodpecker. The species had returned from the dead... FOR REVENGE." A red-cockaded woodpecker says "Yesss".

This weeks video game obsession is The Invincible, which no one else unequivocally loved so was apparently made just for me.

The retro hardware. The British accents. The way the story flexes on decisions but didn’t break. And it rewarded me for playing as me and not as a self-absorbed arsehole.
