Idk I think it's actually a good thing to criticize people in institutions of power who could be doing more to fight the conditions that made the murders of the ordinary people risking everything to protect their communities possible. You can even do it at the same time as opposing the murderers.

I've gotten a Steel Soul run in Silksong to the point where I have all the movement upgrades and I am lowkey terrified to reset at this point.

From this moment on I'm gonna be practicing each segment/boss with a fail risk before attempting it cause I don't wanna lose this run.

Don't really post art to main but that might change as I've been putting out some decent stuff recently.

Did a piece of Cyberpunk 2077 fanart including a version with Health lyrics on top. Happy with how the lighting and shading looks on this one.

i think american life would improve significantly and quickly if society was more encouraging of people to have Hobbies. the most perfect and serene state of mind that exists is when one is Doing one's Little Things

This year I:
Grieved deeply for the absence of a pet who passed last year
Finally got a diagnosis and meds to help with my anxiety
Put out my first complete game
Bet on myself and found a new job
Got back into both video game dev and drawing

A mixed bag with some serious downs. But a lot of ups.

Our upcoming game The Hearth and Harbour is fully 2D, but with some neat tricks we’ve made it look 3D. Ethan, our environment artist, did this with a special type of texture called a Normal Map. (Thread! 1/7)

Silksong is holding up so well on the second playthrough and with the recent announcement, I'm glad I decided to pick it up again to start working towards a Steel Soul run.

Can't wait to see what nonsense (positive) Team Cherry is gonna throw at us after the challenge of the base game.

Failure is such an important part of the artistic process or really any skill, and AI's inability to "fail" at a task in a human way is one of the greatest detriments to users' ability to develop knowledge or skills.

A new Health album has dropped and it is time to yet again make it my entire personality for like a month at least

The "put it down for a couple weeks and come back later if you hit a wall" factor of game dev is so real sometimes.

Finally made a breakthrough on the issue that made me pause in September and now my code is cleaner as a bonus.

No matter how hard people try to convince us having empathy is wrong,

it is right.

No matter how hard people try to convince us that diversity is a weakness,

it is a strength.

No matter how hard people try to convince us that love is limited,

I'm kinda ambivalent/borderline over Universes Beyond at this point but I really dislike the art treatments on cards that are just screengrabs from the media they're from. It was bad with the FF set and some of the ones from Avatar look awful. It's jarring because so much of the sets' art is good!

Guillermo del Toro on wealth: "a wealthy man is a man who has enough, not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite someone for a beer? You're rich. If you have a yacht, planes, islands, and you still need more? You're not rich."

I bet a candidate could do well with “yeah, I said some awful things online when I was younger, but I see why it was wrong, and I’m familiar with extremist spaces online, how young men get radicalized by them, and what we can do about it.”

Less good is “it’s wrong of you to care about what I said.”

"How do you expect to win back men when you go back through somebody’s Reddit history and just pull it all out and say: ‘Oh, my God, this person has no right to ever be in politics?’"

The amount of bending over backwards to try and defend a dude with a Nazi chest tattoo if simultaneously baffling and unsurprising?

What are we doing here? What has to happen to hold anyone accountable for the ways they're normalizing fascism in this country?
October 22, 2025 at 2:58 PM
If you want some good aesthetic pieces to fight fascism with maybe don't utilize the technology pushed by people in bed with fascists and instead buy some art from the marginalized communities affected by both the fascists and the tech bros enabling them, idk, seems like a more consistent approach.
