Also a huge bookworm.

Ive listened to Spotify a lot less this year, but I gotta say their musical age is super stupid. First they tell me I’m 70 because I listened to music from the 70s and 80s? Some music is classic, gtfo

When I started The Great I really didn’t know what to expect. Just wrapping up season 2 and my lord, I enjoy this show entirely too much. The dark humor is just on target for me, and I went in not liking Nicholas Hoult much at all and now I absolutely adore him. And then Gillian Anderson shows up!!

I’m trying to get into it: welcome to derry but im hating all this backstory and adult character storylines. I just wanna skip to the kid scenes. I guess im having a hard time with adults trying to explain everything when usually it’s a story about kids surviving a boogeyman.

Pyon-Kti's newest title Fragmented Love is available for preorder on FAKKU! It's by far the most beautiful book I've worked on this year, and in big part due to @gonzaloletterer.bsky.social's beautiful lettering style, complimented with collaboration from @dodmo.bsky.social and @aila.bsky.social

Of course Adobe is excluding the standard, no AI plan that everyone wants to use from the black Friday sale. Of freaking course. Now I need to sit down and think really hard on what I can live without because this is a lot more expensive than what I paid last year.

Steam gave me a refund for anno 117: Pax Romana thankfully. So mad still, especially at seeing they also ai generated written dialogue. I was willing to blow 100 dollars on their game but now I’m prob going to avoid Ubisoft games like they’re infected.

So, I contacted Ubisoft support, and basically they at the very least admitted to using GenAI to create rough drafts for NPC dialogue which was then touched up by writers.
Now, Anno isn't exactly a story-centric franchise, but goddamnit this doesn't feel good.

Germ just brought it to my attention that Ubisoft is using AI generated imagery for the art in Anno 117: Pax Romana.
This us utter shit Ubisoft. WTF did I just pay 90 bucks for if you can't hire actual artists??

Is it the 13th yet? Work work work and then I'm taking the day off to play Anno 117: Pax Romana
I shall be Cesar. All will bow before me and my mighty Roman islands.
Don't ask me how much of my life I spent on the last Anno game. I loved it way too much.

I promised some samples of lettering from the manga
Hope You're Happy, Lemon by Mizuki Kishikawa, so here we go. It's now on sale!
Kishikawa's style is really fun, and super busy at times, and I had a lot of fun trying to match it.

Some BETTER LETTERER for you. And before the inevitable "that's not how I do it" replies, keep in mind that, by and large, this is how it's done in pro American comics (Marvel, DC, etc.) I've worked for all of them. More tips: blambot.com/pages/letter...
