Today I finished reading Open: An Autobiography, by Andre Agassi. It’s absolutely incredible.

I painted this for a mural project at our local playground. They are going to assemble a bunch of these 6x6” pieces into a pixelated butterfly. It's not glazed yet, so I have no idea what it will look like. Handprint is from my son :)

Why does this pasta look like it was 3D printed?

When athletes get “worked on” by their trainer I imagine a race car at a pit stop getting tired swapped, or a ripper doc making upgrades. This is the kind of health care I need.

Here are Dave and David's full unedited comments for those interested:

I don't draw much. I find the process to be grueling. And I'm never satisfied with the results. But when I showed this to my 5yo son last night he said "I didn't know you were so talented" and it melted my icy heart. If he's happy, I'm happy.

What are your favorite GameCube games?

Solid Snake Art by Ashley Wood

BREAKING: Epic Games is laying off more than 1,000 workers today, sources tell Bloomberg News. Story hitting shortly

Alien vs. Predator (Arcade, Capcom, 1994)

The thing about constantly pursuing realistic and "better" graphics is that in 2002 there was this little GameCube game called "Resident Evil" a remake of a tragically unknown PS1 game you see... And... That's still the most gorgeous looking game even today. We peeked 25 years ago!

I took my son to a free pro wrestling show at Chase Center today, in San Francisco. Here’s one of the matches. I forgot their names so let’s go with RPG boss vs Ultraman Cc @rustyshackles.bsky.social

Now playing Jeanne d'Arc

I just learned about Sam Kieth passing away. He was only 63. I was enthralled with his art as a boy. I would practice for hours trying to replicate his work. The Maxx remains as the only comic series I’ve collected from start to finish. A collection I cherish.

“…there's…a fundamental failure to appreciate…that which is irreplaceable. And that failure…[is] connected with the willingness to just replace art with AI, replace universities with AI...” [Naomi Klein]

The Resident Evil remake for GameCube remains one of my all time favorite games, if not the ultimate favorite. I’ve never owned a GC as my roommate had one. And I think it’s time to finally change that. Perhaps this becomes my first stream?

I just reached this part in Metal Gear Solid 2 and died about 10 times, as I didn’t see the bomb control behind the flag. youtu.be/xxMVRSJ0Tv8?...

There are a lot of Easter eggs hidden throughout HDGG: Mega Man. This is the only one I'll ever tell you about.

I really enjoyed #RE9!! 🧟‍♀️💕 looking forward to the DLC, too Thanks for coming on my doodle and/or stream journey 🫶 all RE9 comics: www.othatsraspberry.com/resident-evi... full RE9 playthru: www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Moving on to Metal Gear Solid 2. I’m quite bad at these games, as I’m impatient and struggle with the controls. Despite that, the design of these games grip me. Plus, I’ve heard so many great things about 2 that I want to experience it for myself. I literally only know that you play as someone else.

The Resident Evil I’d love to play is a modern take on Outbreak. Imagine RPG elements w/ Elden Ring style “dungeon” crawling multiplayer pairing moments. In Raccoon City or a new location. You establish safe zones, rescue people, craft weapons, battle zombies and factions, set traps, etc.

Silver Pines looks promising youtu.be/V7bsAkJbXCI?...

We used AI to see what He-Man would look like if made in the 80s and starred Dolph Lundgren.

Castlevania 3 sketch I did a few years ago. Working on a Castlevania Hand-Drawn Game Guides project is the "new" dream. Perhaps I can begin the process of willing it into existence. If I ever had the chance to do CV3, it would be presented like a Choose your Own Adventure.

In thread is my write up on Resident Evil Requiem. Spoilers ahead!!

it's @dreamcastaway.bsky.social writing about RESIDENT EVIL!!! specifically about the characters who are conspicuously absent from Resident Evil: Requiem...... www.mothership.blog/resident-evi...

Resident Evil Requiem completed. 10/10. Incredible.

I finally decided to sit down and calculate how many Resident Evil games I've played. Of the ones I haven't tried, do you recommend any?

I'm collecting guest spots on podcasts like their Pokémon cards, with 16 under my belt. I hear that at 20 pods I get a free sandwich. Anyways, if you need a guest to talk games (old and new) then hit me up.
