I finally beat Lorelei and the Laser Eyes and WOWWW what a game! Incredible story, atmosphere, and some really neat puzzles.
@annapurna.com, please make this one into a movie.

But when I asked an organizer what they wanted to see out of press coverage, they told me they wanted people to see the beautiful things they are building here, and not just the worst stories of the worst of ICE's crimes.
What people are doing here is beautiful. It's a tragic beauty, but a real one

Before I came, I asked a local friend if the cold (it's going to be -20 or so in the coming days) would stop people from coming out. "No, we'll be there. It's ICE who can't handle it."

I wonder if they’ll ban me from online for this. #Minnesota #KirbyAirRiders

I can’t recall if I shared this here before but I recently got my animated short, Don’t Touch the Props (2022), up on Letterboxd, and you better believe I was tacky enough to write a review on there! It was fun to rewatch and think about what I would do differently.

A ★★★ review of Don't Touch the Props (2022)
Is it slightly tacky to review your own film on Letterboxd?? Maybe! But having recently rewatched it for the first time in a while, this is truly how I feel about it these days. There’s still things I...

ICE killed a member of our community today. ICE showed up at my kid’s daycare today. ICE is bragging about the number of families they’ve torn apart in a matter of days, and promising that their campaign of terror isn’t done.

A couple months ago I was a guest on a podcast episode where we talked about animation. The episode is set to drop sometime this month.
Not saying that I’ve been checking twice daily since Friday buuuuut… 😅

Just not sure if Trump should be the one setting the precedent that other countries can just come in and grab criminal presidents.

I think Kirby Air Riders may have finally solved the age-old racing game problem of “how do you keep a race close & exciting while still rewarding skill?” and it’s their crazy-long draft trails. Gives last place a constant chance to catch up as long as they can follow the draft trail cleanly.

I made Balrog from Cave Story in Kirby Air Riders! I really wish I could put pupils over the exhausts, so it’s merely a suggestion of the character…but I think I got the point across 🙂 #NintendoSwitch2 #Kirby #CaveStory

I think one major area Kirby Air Riders succeeds where Mario Kart World fails is how fun and addicting it is to unlock things (characters, vehicles, decals, etc.). In MKW it feels mindless and, in many cases, based around RNG.
I still really enjoy MKW, but Sakurai just has fun down to a science!

Kirby Air Riders is so dang good. I’ve managed to play it for a few hours already and I haven’t even touched City Trial yet. I’m just having fun unlocking characters & vehicles within the other modes first!

Did a 2025 media retrospective on my Instagram story last night. Very amusing to see how low the clickthrough rate is compared to my average Instagram story.
To prevent my own hard feelings, I only looked through the 70~ people who clicked all the way. The other 30 of you are dead to me 😤

Man the more I see people talking about Wake Up Dead Man the more apparent it is that people really didn’t care for Glass Onion. Sorry to say I still think it’s a great movie! 🤷🏻♂️

It’s been a couple years I think I’m due for another rewatch of Infinity Train soon.

I would add to this that “Raggedy Ann and Andy: A Musical Adventure” crawled on the ground so that The Brave Little Toaster could walk. But it looked damn impressive while doing so!

A local band I follow on Instagram just did a “our new songs as Pixar characters” post, and Baymax was one of them.
It took every ounce of self-control to not be insufferable and say, “Ummm AcTUaLY Baymax is Walt Disney Animation Studios 🤓”

I find it very funny how trailers for Ella McKay make it seem like this new classic-in-the-making that critics are raving about, then you look at the reviews and apparently it’s an absolute mess.
