David Lynch.
Loved the dark, surreal, and also whimsicaly absurd art he gave us. His ABC film was delectable in its hauntingness, contrasted with the polarizing 'On the Air'; Kooky fun that ended too soon, just like him. And yes I do prefer his more imaginative Dune!
Rest in Peace
#DavidLynch
A study of NicCage from 'Wild at Heart' lying on a bed, topless and sockless, wearing just jeans as he balances an old timey radio between his feet above him and plays around with the power cable, depicted using image ghosting. Keyline of Laura Dern hovers over his face, as well as a bunch of different coloured hands all reaching out from the top of the image down towards Nic to connote memories and missed connections (I'd also adapted the study for a vinyl EP that didn't get picked up) #WildatHeart #NicolasCage #LauraDern A group of characters from TwinPeaks, Agent Dale Cooper (eating some pie), The Giant, BoB, The Man from Another Place and even a log with David Lynch's face and the Duckman from The Third Place Playstation 2 adverts are in the Black Lodge. It is implied that we are looking at the event through the eyes of the Duckman, as the coffee cup he is holding is also in the foreground, with a Laura Palmer face obscured in it. What's more optical arty, is that BoB is clutching the left side of the couch, but also appears on the right side of the couch clutching another couch, with allusions to another Cooper and Giant, as the phrase goes "It is Happening Again" #AgentCooper #TheThirdPlace #BoB #ManfromAnotherPlace #Coffee #LauraPalmer #Giant #BlackLodge #TwinPeaks A group of characters from TwinPeaks, Deputy Hawk, Sherif Truman, Agent Cooper/Dougie Jones and Lucy Brennan (and a ludicriously fake bush disguised Windom Earle, aswell as the more subtle 'evolved' form of 'The Arm') are outside, infront of a blackboard with suspect names, a table stacked full of donuts, and behind those, stacks of chopped wood logs amidst a forest. One of the group, Agent Cooper/Dougie Jones is throwing a stone with a marking on it, with enough force to kick up dust as it sores across a black oil puddle surrounded by stones that hides the infamous Black and White Chevron floor pattern of the Black Lodge. The rock has hit and exploded a glass bottle ontop of a log, though we can only see the various shards of glass splintering off, each with reflections of BoB and Dale Cooper in them, as another onlooker shields their eyes. A print of this framed as well as unframed, is available at Gallery1988 in LA, USA. #DougieJones #SheriffTruman #DeputyHawk #WindomEarle #DeputyAndy #kcoRs'teL #Chevron #Tibet #Zen #Logs #MorseCode A group of characters from TwinPeaks, Deputy Hawk, Sherif Truman, Agent Cooper/Dougie Jones and Lucy Brennan (and a ludicriously fake bush disguised Windom Earle, aswell as the more subtle 'evolved' form of 'The Arm') are infront of a blackboard with suspect names, a table stacked full of donuts, and behind those, stacks of chopped wood logs amidst a forest. One of the group, Agent Cooper/Dougie Jones is throwing a stone with a marking on it, with enough force to kick up dust as it sores across a black oil puddle surrounded by stones that hides the infamous Black and White Chevron floor pattern of the Black Lodge(with the Twin Peak's logo and David Lynch and Mark Frost credits, along with the backward's title of this piece "!kcor s'teL" hovering over it in that garish green and red branding we love. Added after the fact, the print's at Gallery 1988 do NOT have this on them. Wonders of hindsight) The rock has hit and exploded a glass bottle ontop of a log, though we can only see the various shards of glass splintering off, each with reflections of BoB and Dale Cooper in them, as another onlooker shields their eyes.

To clarify, there's nothing in this game that wouldn't pass muster in an M-rated film.

There are people spreading malicious rumors about it, claiming that it is more extreme.

It reminds me of Night Trap, supposedly one of the most transgressive games of its age. Reality: Milder than Power Rangers.

Some classics were re-discovered too!

I knew of Filter of course, but this year I finally GOT it. And also got into Big Beat in general, cause back then the sound was, for the lack of a better word - thicc!

Promise Mascot Agency is 30% OFF in a Steam Daily Deal!

To celebrate we're releasing Promise Mascot Agency: The Art of Kaso-Machi!

Presenting a 400+ page PDF featuring art from Ikumi Nakamura, Mai Mattori, Inko Ai Takita and lots of the amazing devs who worked on the game! 🥳
An image from Promise Mascot Agency: The Art of Kaso-Machi, a digital art book exhibiting the development of Promise Mascot Agency. This is a page exploring different concept art of the main character Michi's glasses by Ikumi Nakamura. This is a page of early concept art by Ikumi Nakamura of Pinky☆ from Promise Mascot Agency. "Rachel: Pinky☆ was originally going to be really squishy in game. The idea was that she couldn’t drive a car for humans as she had no way to press the pedals, and that’s why she was in the back of the truck" "Ikumi: The facial structure is cute, but it's a little creepy as it's hard to read emotions from the expressions." An image from Promise Mascot Agency: The Art of Kaso-Machi, a digital art book exhibiting the development of Promise Mascot Agency. This is a page of final art of everyone's favourite mascot To-Fu by Inko Ai Takita. Art book quotes: "Harry: An early experiment for the vintage filter design was using a GPU simulation of NTSC video signals; literally encoding and decoding the image that way old display hardware would, complete with tracking issues and poor cable quality. Sadly it made the screen too hard to read, modified the art style too dramatically and was prohibitively expensive to render - however, we felt the colour bleeding and subtle blurring were steps in the right direction…"

I'm as excited for Christmas as the next person who has already watched 35 Christmas movies since the start of November, but PLEASE remember the cyberpunks in your life. Their main annual festival, Cyber Monday was this year pushed into December and risks being drowned in mulled wine.

I also celebrated Cyber Monday by finishing a new Hackers pager, this time in Cereal Killer yellow. Main change was redrawing the display decal. Still not sure if I think it's better.
A neon yellow pager displaying the message "GRAND CENTRAL HACK THE PLANET". A neon yellow pager beside a leopard print neon pink pager, both displaying the message "GRAND CENTRAL HACK THE PLANET" A neon yellow pager in the movie Hackers, displaying the message "GRAND CENTRAL HACK THE PLANET"

Speaking of FPS as a platform for comedy, Shooty Shooty Robot Invasion hasn't sold as well as I'd like but has near-perfect user reviews.
