With everything going on in the world and my head cold being a right bastard, half of the time I'm looking at stuff online and trying to figure out if it's real or just a fever dream hallucination... Just that kind of day I guess.

Every day I wake up and have to remind myself that I'm NOT a failure, that some people just "Float Around" in between jobs and you just have to keep pushing for something bigger... The problem is, I feel like it's getting harder and harder for me to keep that act up lately.

So not only did we get the 2nd Amendment, the true teachings of Jesus, and the NFL but we also got NASCAR? Raise hell, praise Dale, and fuck ICE.

Got some electrical issues going on at my house again. Unfortunately, my gaming backlog but also my posts on here will have to back off a wee bit... If I had a job, I wouldn't be panicking as much as I am but nobody's hiring so I'm watching my nest egg get poached in real time.

I really like the word "grok." I've used it for years. I really love Stranger in the Strange Land. I really love Heinlein books. I hate that Elon Musk has co-opted it for CSAM and a wildly inaccurate online encyclopedia to the point where the word is going to mean the opposite of its definition.

I've said this to some people online and in places like Twitch chats, but with the recent track record that SNK has had as a company? I fully expect that the announcement for KOF XVI gets shown and in the trailer, there's a "Team WWE" that features The Rock, Brock Lesnar and Logan Paul... Just no.

I'm in an abusive relationship every day; I tell people I'm a fan of SNK games like Fatal Fury: City of The Wolves.

Well, it's a new year and a new commission to share. This comes from the wonderful @deputyrust.bsky.social as part of his "Your Character Here" series. My "Karate Vagabond" Katja normally doesn't wear stuff like this or have hips & thighs wide enough to break a human skull, but... Well... Yeah...

...based on true events...

OK, OK, call me a "Fake SNK fan" or whatever the eff you want: If this is legitimately happening? I am stoked and I will get into City of the Wolves again to main Kenshiro. IDGAF. Do I want Blue Mary & Freeman on the roster? Of Course! Am I going to bitch about why they aren't in the game? Nah. 1/2

What I love about this trailer is that all of Alex's moves are stuff he's done before in-game and out of it, but because he's playing "The Heel" here? It hits different. Plus the thumbnail is giving me Tetsuo Hara vibes, particularly the character artwork for Ring of Destruction-era Biff Slamkovich

At this point? Applying for a job feels like buying a lottery ticket to me; I hope against hope that I'll get something out of it and dream of getting the big prize at the end, but I also kind of feel like it's hopeless because I'm a dumb motherfucker with a GED and autism. FML.

I need a job to help fund that... But YEAH! I WANT TO CARRY THAT ENERGY INTO 2026 DAMN IT! (Artwork by @phantomstudio.bsky.social & @bukomastershake.bsky.social respectively.)

I'm going to start using this site more often, especially to share commissioned artwork I purchased. So! Here's one I got from @chakkux.bsky.social of my Original Character Katja Hartkern and... Is this a memory? Or a vision of things to come? (I need to start publishing my writings online too.)

So, I don't post as much on this site as I should, but I'm going to take a little break from social media for a day or two because while driving down to ship off some Christmas presents, a cat on the side of the road happened to be one of mine... RIP Timmy. You didn't deserve to go out like this.

OK, I haven't been on here in a long while... Have this piece of my Original Characters Katja, Jerry and Jean-Claude Gabriel looking like if I traveled back in time and tripped in front of Masami Obari during development of "Fatal Fury: The Motion Picture". Artwork by: @phantomstudio.bsky.social

AI people are so fucking dumb they made a response to that post using homelander jesus christ it should be illegal to be this dumb

I don't use my Bluesky account enough... Let's change that, shall we? Summer is over but of course, I'm sharing artwork of two of my Original Characters, Katja & Tsuyako, aura-farming in swimsuits. Big shout-out to @chakkux.bsky.social for getting this commission done. Rest well dude!

As someone who helps kids tell their own stories and draw their own comics, this is repulsive.

In addition to Original Characters, sometimes I buy commissions of a car they might drive... That's the case here as one particular character of mine has a "Driving to clear his head" sort-of feel with this hand-built custom widebody De Tomaso Pantera, expertly drawn by @sorithespooky.bsky.social .

Lots going on in the world today, but here's another commission of an Original Character of mine drawn by @chakkux.bsky.social , this time of my wrasslin' gal Tsuyako "The Tsunami" Horikawa. The attire on the far right is inspired by a costume from Dead or Alive 5 and was Tsuyako's first "Gimmick".

I feel like I haven't been using this account enough, so here's something to rectify that: A commission I bought from @chakkux.bsky.social of my Original Character Katja modeling a few different outfits.

In other news, im reading through Black Lagoon again

late in the year but top contender for most insane headline of 2024 so far. just absurd nonsense lol

I think, for the upcoming year of 2025, I need to actually start publishing the insane, rambling barely-a-fanfiction story I've been writing on & off for... About a decade now?(!) Because as much as I like sharing artwork commissions of my Original Characters, I feel the urge to share how they act.

Finally, Jerry Doss... What started as a meme about dudes who idolized Ryan Gosling in the movie "Drive" has somehow turned into... Well, still a parody of that kind of character, but a much more well-rounded version IMO who's kind of pathetic? Maybe? (Artwork by Check and Dee Sekai on Instagram.)

As for Tsuyako "The Tsunami" Horikawa... Well, basically she dyed her hair, puberty hit her late in life and turned her into a character that's larger than life, but still cute and supremely huggable IMO. (Artwork by Anonymous and @bukomastershake.bsky.social )

i’m gonna just watch this at least once a day and i recommend everyone do the same

You can post gifs now? OK!

Don't mind me, just making a custom car livery on Art of Rally like a year after the game was relevant in any way, shape or form... This is based on the 1983 MG Metro 6R4 show car/prototype and since that car had no real wings on it, I painted them black to make it feel "Test Car"-y.

Just a quick update that I've been sick for almost a full week since I was last on here. Apologies to anybody worried about me, and a big middle-finger to anyone in the world wishing for my demise.

my feelings about the thing

Be like Kensou and just say no to AI garbo

I have a few, but I don't know how many likes this will get...

"If you were a villain, who would you be?" ... Do people not realize who my PFP and Banner are supposed to be?

I just crushed a whole 6-pack of Modelo Especiale and I feel nothing... Fuck, if I started drinking earlier in life, I would've been a RAGING alcoholic... Also, my speEch-to-chat program is AWESOME! Hardly any slurring at all... I have to sleep now and draft up plans for Winter and January. Bye~Bye

To hell withith, I'm gonna upload my fsanfiction on AO3. It ain't finished, I feel like it could use something to build up to, but I'm in the mood todosomething! I VOTED ALREADY DAMN IT! I NEED THIS!

Ah... THat first drink wasn't half-bad! Bitter aftertaste, but not bad at all... Oh, if only I could write in a time like this! But unfortunately, my mind is blank with raw fear that everything I like is either gonna get banned or become so expensive I can't enjoy it anymore.

I've never had a drop of alcohol in my life, but a night like this? I'm getting drunk and I'm gonna keep going until I pass out.

If you see this, I invite you to post a picture from (whatever device you’re using) without explanation.

imagine being so awful even Sesame Street hates you

Also, yeah I kinda got knocked around for a bit over this last year since I posted on here. In the last 8 months I: - Quit my job to take care of my dad day-to-day - Lost my mother to Cancer - Have my house basically half-finished with no electricity or running water for about 4 months Yeesh...
