My name is Amon. I was born and raised in the buckle of the American Rust-Belt owned by a Cereal Giant and a Japanese conglomerate. I am half first-nation Ojibwe, the rest is Pirate. I have helped to quietly set the tone of indie horror entertainment since 2010, and I am very, VERY hard to kill

on the upshot. I'm a lot of human being for people to have an attitude with, and size has kept me safe more than once.

Amon26 @amon26.bsky.social · 6h

I think if I could have chosen my height, I would have been quite a lot shorter. Something like 5'6 to be honest. Being tall seems fun till you realize you're big forever.

Amon26 @amon26.bsky.social · 6h

bummer about being tall. the more you're over 5'10' the more you realize things are 'off-scale' to you. controllers feel small, forks seem small, every counter top feels a little too low, you don't get why people make a fuss over height so much, you just miss hiding in boxes and your back hurts

What's taking phobolis so long?

Easy. We're not phoning it in. ft @hexebyte.bsky.social

Heya! Hex speaking. A cool technique I use a -lot- in Phobolis is the oldschool yet very effective blending strip/skirt trick to 'glue' meshes together, so much so that I've been developing a custom set of geometry node tools in Blender to achieve this with much less manual effort.

i could be turned into a therapy a.i with three sound clips. "aw" "that sucks" and "god" + a randomizer. just start talking and squeeze the button any time you need affirmation.

Amon26 @amon26.bsky.social · 7h

i could be a therapist. its basically a professional sin-eater anyway. pay me $200 an hour and i'll sit there and play a recording of me saying "aw" every few seconds until you feel like you don't suck anymore. It's 100% confidential because I'm not even listening.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fby6... It's a shame that we, as entertainers, with audiences, platforms, fans and plans, are left with one of two options to keep going: Cooperate with rise 'n grind culture and play ball or starve and break.

"The companies that survive won't be those who can outspend the crisis. They'll be those who remember how to engineer"

That's the thing about trying to control the world by making your tech worse. People only believe you're the best deal in town until something new and unexpected comes along.

youtu.be/vhg1XDvqOwM?... Uzi Freyja has a similar "paralysis-demon-pop" vibe as Missy Elliott. Unflinching mirrors of hedonism you nod your head to.

Also, don't be surprised at all to see the law stop working. Yes, even for *you*.

This is a governing body that hasn't held itself accountable to the voter base since before ww2, it just made you think it would be fair to keep you clocking in and doing taxes and now it cant be arsed.

Amon26 @amon26.bsky.social · 2d

Don't pay attention to words. A good bully knows the power of hollow words and intentional miscommunication. For them, a plea to reason is another window of opportunity.

Ignore them when they want attention, Get a spotlight on them when they're quiet. Use these extremes to exhaust them.

Attorney for woman shot by Border Patrol claims officer said 'Do something b-----' before shooting

Body-camera video appears to contradict the government's claim that Marimar Martinez, 30, drove toward officers before one of them opened fire at her late Saturday morning in Brighton Park, her attorney claimed. A judge ordered Martinez and a co-defendant released pending trial.

When your fanart looks this good and your game's not even out yet, you know you're doing something right. Major thanks again to @theinkyway.bsky.social. (also, they said they're open for commissions)

the worst part about long distance relationships is when your feet are really cold and you can't ever so gently graze their calf in bed and launch them through the ceiling.

Yeah, yeah, It's Gave Up, not Mr. Self Destruct. I had two gameplay cuts I was going between and picked the wrong one

One of the few (if any?) non-japanese performers of Rakugo. A form of story telling comedy theater from 1600s japan. For a long time it was considered impossible to translate into other languages because of its unique delivery and heavy wordplay.

Amon26 @amon26.bsky.social · 5d

www.youtube.com/watch?v=3WkP... Maybe I just got a little too over-loaded with decades of dark ribald comedy, but lately I've been really into seeing entertainers who can get a laugh out of you with something more innocent.

Anyway, check out Katsura Sunshine. He's the real deal.

Yeah, stuff I like doesn't need to be shunned and forbidden, even if it's really not my thing.

As long as everyone's of legal age and they're not pushing it on others. I mean, I get that accidental oversharing can happen, but that's a sign to reel yourself back in.

Amon26 @amon26.bsky.social · 6d

nobody should be given shit for what they like to do with other consenting adults. all sex is ridiculous and weird. That said, if continuously confessing the manner which you like to screw is your only means of socializing, you need to wash your ass.

For all the condemnation the Israeli government deserves for its cruelty to Palestinians, I respect the history of Jewish people and their survival.
