Paypal is now playing harder ball on artists, going after anyone even mentioning commissions.

Artists, send invoices. That way, no one has to say what the money is for on Paypal's paper trail.

Customers, SAY NOTHING about commissions. Just say "thanks" on donos.

Everyone: INCREASE THE CALLS.

my favorite line change from the v16 Revamp.

In the OG, when Braden notes that [Zack] "really likes me don't you?" Zack originally said "more than anything"

Zack's Revamp response avoids the question and almost talks to no one and the shame he conveys in such a simple response is devastating here

I do a lot of dumb secret things that I don’t tell people about but when I got my full wall print for my game art, I hung it over my desk behind me and fucking cried. By then I’d already finished the story so I knew its weight and journey. It means the world to me

it's an insane feeling to have characters you've created stuck to your computer or hanging up on your wall

Patreon page got a glow-up. Go check it out. New categories and format to make things just a bit more flashy and hopefully find content faster.

gonna try and drop another teaser video this week for the next v17 environment. still got an annoying cough from being sick over last weekend so gimme a few more days so i can consistently talk a little better. Stuff's done tho

Aaryn @aarynstr8.bsky.social · Sep 12

Seven Samurai is solid. i actually just watched it about a year ago and for the length, it has a much faster tempo than i was expecting but i wouldn't call it popcorn.

Ip Man is one of my favs. they progressively get less great but the first one is a comfort movie for me

oh yeah, you way ahead of me with the experience factor. i'm just some dude on a couch with my dog that loves most things in the genre

Pretty detailed article giving you a glimpse into how stretched indie game developers are now and why we've had to resort to sharing articles like this and begging supporters to continue to put pressure on his massive censorship campaigns.

yeah, there's a lot of setup in Begining and honestly your take as it being a "critic" movie holds some merit. i'm pretty flexible when it comes to anything in that genre/era tho. we dont get a much so i'll take anything i can get

Aaryn @aarynstr8.bsky.social · Sep 10

yeah, it's def the slowest of them i think but i think it worked for the content it was covering too. at this point, i sorta view the entire set as one big movie
