The thumbnail for my video 'Cave Art is Cool' showing a family a paleolithic humans painting in a cave.

The thumbnail for my Mythillogical podcast episode 'The Fairies' showing multiple fae creatures on a green forest background.

The thumbnail my 'Birth of Civilisation' youtube series showing a family of epipaleolithic humans and their settlement.

The thumbnail for my video essay 'Pathologic 2 is weird... and I love it!' featuring a bird like executor figure with love hearts pasted over its eyes.

Not me somehow trying to edit audio whilst I have a fan on, a game soundtrack playing in the background and a twitch streamer open in another window.

Also here's a mini painted recently i guess.

A pretty much done shot of a warhammer snotling pump wagon (wooden wagon with blades haphazardly bolted to it) that I'm currently painting. The wagon is painted in brown, metal and red shade and it now has a ton of little green goblin looking guys perched all over it. The base looks like brown craggy rock and has small green plants on it.

The second part of my Pathologic 2 video essay is now live over on youtube! This time we're diving deep into the game's weird world and story, examining its themes, characters and even drawing comparisons to real life Russian history. Check it out!

Just found out about the Switch 2 bringing back virtual boy games of all things and it only working if you buy an additional adaptor so uh shout out to the Virtual Boy for being the first thing to flop twice since Morbius I guess.

This is a good thing because it means they were being professional and not ruining shots by laughing, but its still an ego bruiser.

It was fun recording some stuff on location for my current video project, but I have to say its intensely demoralising to be on your sixth attempted take of a joke you thought was really funny whilst writing and your crew is staring at you stony faced.

WHEN THERE’S TREASURE BEHIND THE WATERFALL: Oh wow. Yes, very clever! Waterfall treasure! No one’s ever done that before. Lazy jackass

WHEN THERE’S NO TREASURE BEHIND THE WATERFALL: Wow. Too stuck-up to put treasure there huh? Too much of a fucking ICONOCLAST for that? Piece of shit. FUCK you

Done absolutely nothing worthy of rewarding myself for today and for this I am rewarding myself by ordering a box of donuts.

Turns out the shotgun work hack can be replicated by just playing the FFX Besaid Island theme on loop in the background.

Today I'm experimenting and trying to get work done without someone stood next to me threateningly holding a shotgun.
