Finally got around to watching Mars Express, definitely as good as everyone says, great sci-fi. More people should be talking about it. This street sign and the "Roberta Williams" character put a smile on this old gamer's face. More films like this, please.

I don't know what game this is, but importing the Space Marine 2 character models into it was genius.

No new Frieren this week... my life is meaningless... until next week.

Being good at art is directly proportional to the amount of shit art you can endure making along the way to becoming good.

IT'S STREAMERING TIME! www.twitch.tv/spacecaptsteve

Aerojelly - a gas-filled jellyfish that floats through the air. Luckily, they don't have stingers because that would make them nightmare fuel.

Gi.biz have a survey up about genAI usage, you know what to do comrades survey.alchemer.com/s3/8679343/b...

I was just reminded that there's a full size Amiga 1200 coming out in a few months. I'd love to buy one but I've already got like 3 Amigas in my cupboard. And the Amiga 500 mini.

We were told that it would be a war against super-intelligent, capable killer robots - what we got instead was moronic chat-bots ruining everything for their super-rich pedo masters.

Happy to see Embo back.

Working on some new art.

I just saw a post for an old airline menu that listed "Pommes Anglaise", and I had to look up what English-style potatoes were. They're just boiled potatoes. But of course, what else would they be?

As I see it, there are 2 different types of "money guys" There are the ones that want to make money by making the things. And the other type will raze the things to the ground to make money.

My new car arrived today... in the post.

It's TYDAY here! And I'm streaming some new TY comic drawing. www.twitch.tv/spacecaptsteve

Tried some impossible sausages tonight. Not a fan of the fake skin but the texture is a pretty good approximation of a butcher's sausage with a variation in size of bits of meat. Has a bit less bite than a meat sausage and could use more seasoning. Like the burgers they're ok 6.5/10 would eat again

Well, 2 1/2 months later, I've finally got my internet switched over to fiber. Can't wait to see how it goes on the stream tomorrow.

I've moved my comic drawing streams to Fridays (my time). So join me in about 25 hours. www.twitch.tv/spacecaptste...

Stopped in at the Japanese supermarket to grab a couple of cup noodles to try. I got the chilli tomato and the cheesy currt. The tomato one is pretty nice. I also grabbed a bottle of Pocari Sweat for nostalgia.

AI artist: "I need AI to make art!" Meanwhile, in Lascaux... 22,000 years ago.

You are here...

Friendly reminder: NO ONE needs AI slop and more AI data centres EVERYBODY needs clean water, affordable energy, and a habitable planet

I hope people realize that AI peeps are going to target sports at some point. Why pay those nasty gatekeeping athletes who cost so much and spend all their time on their abilities and skills? Democratize the olympics and superbowl!

AI art < landlord white paint.

Saw 4 sulphur-crested cockatoos this morning while I was out walking the dog. I just thought that it was cool.

Queensland summer - And on the morning of the fourth day, the bread had big green spots. Good thing I saw it before I put it in the toaster. Last two slices as well. Now I have to wait until I go to the shops in a couple of hours. Poo!

Maybe hold off watching this until AFTER you watch Season 2 Ep 4. But this shows just how beautiful this season looks, as well as how great the animation is. When you add in Milet's song this is a great vid all around.

I love literal world-building. Here's my handmade game art made by my old hands.

If you "need" AI to make art, then you don't actually want to make art. You want to shit out slop content for money.

All creatures, great and small... ok, not so small.

Seems like a good day to post this again. Print it out. Frame it. Hang it on your wall. Make your comic.

2026 is 10% complete.

I updated it with 100% more birb

Are you really truly making a sci-fantasy game if you don't have cool little cutie birbs like this?

Ready to make with the comics. Testing out a new audio setup first... again. Proper start in 10 mins www.twitch.tv/spacecaptsteve

Reminder: I'll be streaming TY comicking tomorrow on my Twitch channel. www.twitch.tv/spacecaptste...

Adobe dumping Animate because they couldn't think of anything to add... they could maybe, ask their users? But I guess they really mean is that they couldn't think of any way to slop AI into it.

Finally bought an Evercade. I'd wanted to get one for a while but kept forgetting about it. I ended up getting the dark grey Tomb Raider VS-R bundle and a few other carts.

People get really excited by fluid fight scene animations in anime, but for me, it's the little subtle character stuff in Frieren that gets me. Like Frieren's little bounce as Fern sits next to her on the bed. Season 2 has been full of animation that didn't need to be there but I'm so glad it is.

The nice thing about having a cool Japanese supermarket just down the road is that I can grab different curry roux to try out. Tonight I made hamburg steak with House Black Curry. Very dark and rich sauce. Yummy.

Me and my thing for big critters.

Checking out the golden-looking full moon rising just after sunset, as the silhouettes of giant bats fly across it. Cool.

It’s Saturday. 📺Post a cartoon TV series you love.

Well shit. It’s February now.

A recent cartoon for @newscientist.com. p.s. my new book of science cartoons, ‘Physics for Cats’ is out now. Links at www.tomgauld.com
