Game that I unironically really enjoyed as a child when I really shouldn’t have in hindsight.

A duck waddled up to a lemonade stand, and said to the man, running the stand…

It looked like this. The first version anyway - despite low sales they made a second version to try and fix the issues of the first!

You had to hold the thin side (opposite the curved side) to your head to take calls so it looked like a banana. Silly design.

Been dirt poor or in hard debt all my life. The stars aligned this one paycheck and I get to be kind to the local kids.

This Halloween we are THAT house.

This mound is an eight kilo (17.6lb) cat and he’s absolutely crushing my legs.

I can’t feel my damn feet.

Silent Hill F is an odd Zootopia sequel.

I will be taking no questions at this time.

Incredible to me that some modders managed to get The Crew back online in spite of Ubisoft.

Huge W for preservation.

Testing the new stream community minecraft server and of course, within minutes of @thepotatocat.bsky.social discovering I put on a mod that allows painting your own portraits, a dickbutt appears.

I’m now filming a video about Outer Wilds.

I may have decided to start prepping for a video about Outer Wilds.

Douglas is an 8KG Maine Coon that is physically larger than our 9 year old cocker spaniel.

Douglas likes to sleep in the garden.

Douglas has a habit of waking up after being in the rain for a long time, as it takes that long for the wet to hit the skin.

Douglas just jumped on my sleeping head.

So I love Max Mad, the licensed videogame tie in to Fury Road that was very much its own standalone thing.

Did you know it has a hidden Black and Chrome mode? This isn't a mod, it's a trick of the incredible video tools built into the game.

Some rough first/try attempts at long exposure sky photography off my phone. Did you know the iPhone has a 30 second exposure option, but you have to basically put it on a table for it to appear?

Anyway, not bad tbh. Hopefully BSky compression doesn’t kill them.

My mental health may still be absolutely shot but my physical health (at least fitness) has definitely recovered. I just moved a metric ton (quite literally) of rocks 30 meters, 20kg at a time, by hand.

Before my surgery, I was feeling so weak I was struggling to get out of bed some days…

It’s pissing it down with rain and I need to do some work outside. So I asked my wife for a coat…

A couple of close-up shots of this model and shader work.

Successfully managed to create a visual style in Blender inspired by The Long Dark and now I can effectively use it on anything I wish. I am so bloody happy, I finally have a style I can use to make my shite.

E.g. here is an asset from Stellaris in this style, in motion.

Actually great example? Nighthawks by Hopper. Easy to think there is a foreground and a background and that’s it. But the empty space in the background? A closed store. Not simple noise. It has purpose, just not one right now.

Even the characters in the diner have a fore and mid ground.

Snails don’t have to be slow.

But even recorded in real time they look like a Timelapse.
