One thing that particularly gets under my skin in Tokyo is how many ads I see on trains, mobile, or in the city using "pixel art" that was clearly not drawn by a pixel artist. Even worse is coming across ads using ai pixel art.
Every instance is an opportunity taken away from real pixel artists.

You’d be surprised how much game design work just flows from creating a good pun for your game’s name.

Apparently Tokyo fashion nowadays is walking around dressed like my grandpa taking me to go buy a replacement door hinge for his shed.

Boy, I have no idea how people can still stomach being on bird site. Every time I check it once every few days it is just the worst.

Started a new diet and I've lost roughly 4.6kg in 5 days. This diet seems to really be working for me.
Basically cut carbs to max 20g and eat roughly 1200 calories a day. Just breakfast and dinner from 10 to 4. Pretty much a keto diet but with 18/6 fasting.
Halfway to my first milestone!
