I bought No Man’s Sky at launch and was pretty disappointed, mainly at the lack of real multiplayer.

Picked it up again this year and it may be one of my favorite games of all time.

Life is cruel to innocent people with ambitions for a better life in Gaza, especially my friend Ahmad and his family.They suffer under Israel’s genocide daily. If you can give to ease their burdens, please do 🇵🇸 🍉

Everything has become heavy on my shoulders ⚖️, with responsibilities in these hard times.
I appreciate every support and every repost.
I was supposed to be director of a major internet company in the Gaza Strip 🌐, carrying limitless ambitions 🚀, but this world does not give us what we deserve.🕊😔

The number one thing that sucks the joy out of art for me is the “product” mindset

When I focus on process rather than product, I connect with my inner child and drawing becomes fun again

Had a wee lil’ cry at the Undertale 10th Anniversary stream. It felt good to see the light of humanity again.

Undertale inspired so many beautiful people to make beautiful things. It’s incredible.

Sorry I took so long to text back, I was looking for the words in my mind palace and got distracted because the mind palace was playing the Ducktales theme on repeat, but just the “d-d-danger” part over and over again

I’ve made it to 1,000 followers: a bittersweet milestone since several hundred are Palestinians in Gaza who followed searching for aid to escape a genocide. I mostly just wish they didn’t have to.

Still, for the milestone I finally connected my site to my profile here so now I’m @jeffpennington.art

I've talked about this site before, but I want to highlight it again because it's amazing and might bring some smiles out today.

You just turn the TV on and channel surf like you used to. Cartoons, game shows, sports, movies, are all here!

I use the 90s one a lot and it feels like childhood again.

I have to do a piece of art related to every episode of Star Trek that we cover and sometimes I'm not feelin' it. The fact I can still make this when not feeling it is WAY better than I used to be lol.

BTW the baby targeting is a joke about how incompetent/ harmful Scotty & the crew were in this ep

M-Class Podcast @mclasspodcast.bsky.social · Sep 10

RED ALERT! NEW M-CLASS ON DECK!

Back to TV shows! Bones delivers a baby that can change the fate of a warrior world! But not as exciting as that sounds and with way worse costuming than you would imagine. But is it still worth watching?

on.soundcloud.com/vNQyVBzt2SKC...

Episode art created for M-Class Podcast's review of the Star Trek: The Original Series episode "Friday's Child." Hosts Jeff Pennington and Josh Henderson was showcased standing on the bridge of a darkened Enterprise. Jeff is looking at the down at the viewer with his arms behind his back while wearing an operations red Starfleet uniform. Josh is faced away from the camera wearing a sciences blue uniform and staring emptily at a monitor screen which shows a photograph of the baby from this episode with an aiming reticle on it, text above it reading "Target: Baby" and below "Phasers Locked." This isn't a joke about killing babies as much as its a joke about how unbelievably incompetent Scotty and the Enterprise crew were this episode. Art by Jeff Pennington.

there's no work, so we're making our own work, but now we're being told "no you can't do that either" so okay I guess we'll all just fucking die. Freedom to do only as we're told.

Batman commission for a dope client! I’m a big fan of detective Batman specifically so I ran with that

DC Comic’s biggest money maker Batman illustration in black and white. Batman is caught in the light of an open door catching him in the act of investigating a filing cabinet in a jet black room. He’s holding a flashlight and illuminating a small portion of the room behind him while glaring at the person that has discovered him. The reverse letters on the window behind the cabinet read “Gordon” and below that “Commissioner - Gotham” and a small photograph of Barbara Gordon rests on top of the cabinet to showcase exactly where this is.

My IRL friends are all on FB otherwise I’d peace out.

That said, once I trimmed the friends list to exclude my extended family and brief work acquaintances from the past decade, my feed got so much better

Also still hate Zuck

If you are okay with this, if you think this is justified, if you think people living on the street have brought this upon themselves, if you think this is good leadership, you may be able to fool yourself that you care about others but you don’t fool me

I know it's fair game, but it does bother me to see megacorps holding kickstarter campaigns 'cuz like... they already have the money to do things while all the indie people don't and this is just another way to pass expenses onto consumers... idk it's weird.
