AOC is obviously the leader of the Democratic party. The time between now and when that becomes the reality, will very, very likely be more of the same tired appeasement tactics and sad sop losing.

#Figbruary 18 - Skeuomorphic note icon. A lot of icons this year for some reason. 2 variations; with and without a button-like background. I personally prefer flatter, simpler icons, but whatever floats your boat :)

My simple take on a clock widget for #Figbruary 17 - futuristic/sci-fi. I felt like it worked well with a cyberpunk theme and a slight glass effect. Made in Figma.

Does “Golden Age” refer to a time when planes keep crashing, eggs cost $10–15 a dozen, the U.S. is being booed and protested by all our allies, workers are losing their jobs, and Americans’ personal data is being rummaged through by unelected oligarchs and their strange crew of 20-something incels?

#Figbruary 4 - Radial Menu for a game
Mocked this up fairly quickly in Figma. Timeboxed myself because I realized that each radial menu can spur more radials and didn't want to go down that rabbit hole right now 💀

Doing the @figma.com #figbruary prompts when they call to me this year. Here's my day 2 prompt - minimal music player
Bluesky was not great for the video format on this one (too tall), so I've just included some images for now.

Had to make a call for a dental appointment and on the phone accidentally said "my vet" instead of "my dentist," so now there's one more thing in my head that will just live there rent free and remind me how much of a dummy I am.

Gamer folk! If you're into Soulslikes (Dark Souls, Elden Ring, etc) I really recommend giving the recent Lords of the Fallen a try.
Great art style and scenery, gameplay very much DS-style, a lot of possible character builds and weapons, with a few new ideas mixed in. I'm on my 3rd play.

Well it took me a while to finally try it, but here I am on Bluesky. I'd long ditched Twitter and I'm heavily considering taking a hiatus or divorcing from Meta apps as well.
