I won’t be using this much until new music is out, but all my old stuff is available on bandcamp and assorted streaming. With that in mind, if you have the funds, please download my music for free via bandcamp and donate to the charities that are linked there or donate to one of your choosing.

"The Scottish island of Summerisle, home of the best fruit in Britain. The first thing you notice? No churches. The farmers here practice a fascinating form of pre-Christian worship…and I just learned I'll be playing the lead role in their annual May Day festival. First stop: my costume fitting."

Finally wrote up the UI/UX work I did on @strangescaffold.bsky.social's Life Eater as a case study! I go through the entire design process & show early versions of the interface... vaida.me/portfolio/li...

Hey, remember when this event cancelled him from their event in 2019 after they found out he was a sex pest and hasn't had him back in the last seven years? I see somebody found the right devil to whisper into Ranger Stop's ears to decide to just ignore that.

Unfortunately, for Reunion to work the best, you do need to have played Double Exposure. I don't think the recap would be sufficient for a new player.

Finished Life is Strange Reunion and damn. I actually really liked it. Might be one of my favourites in the whole series. It's not perfect. Design can be wonky and it clearly had a smaller budget/devtime than it wanted, but the writing is smart and hits where it's important. Great time.

Had a haircut, and my barber sprayed me a dozen or so times with the smelly fresh product at the end, and now I reek like what I imagine Leisure Suit Larry smells like.

YouTube as a platform has been so diabolically bad this past year and continues to be awful to create on lol. Keeps hiding my stuff from my audience and I’m just so tired 😐 anyway if you wanna support a girlie analysing games and making high effort vids please leave a comment on the viddy 🙏

Rent is due Saturday, and I PRETTY BADLY need to pick up some more work to make it across the finish line. This, same at my Ko-Fi, and new Patreon subscriptions, can help me do it. I'm linking to all these in this thread, in the next couple posts.

This achievement in Cairn was earned shortly before falling to my death lol

Half-Life 2 VR but the AI is Self-Aware has started and now my sides hurt from laughing so much... again. Great stuff. youtu.be/ebRkZcMtcpo

!NEW VIDEO! I made a new vid talking about games that steal a face :) features a few indies that use face mechanics in a cool way and is a good time I promise!! youtu.be/wsWVMYO3kwI any reposts and comments etc. are always a big help! ♥️

Update post for Patrons on how work is going. www.patreon.com/posts/update...

I read and watched Project Hail Mary, really liked it. I saw a lot in it over time and appreciated its ideas, and here the author just says "no, you're not meant to, just clap when the spaceman does spaceman things, *I have no point to make*" so I guess I was a dumby for thinking so.

Ah, so Andy Weir is like... *dumb* dumb gizmodo.com/andy-weir-st...

Thank you all for all your invaluable support and for kicking so much ass!😁❤️ Here's to (at least) another 70 or so!!💀🤘 #GrasshopperManufacture #GhM

Been doing a little bit of Devil Daggers each morning and hit 268 seconds. Technically over halfway to 500 seconds, but I imagine it's like Runescape skills where the real half of 99 is 92. Meeting Gigapedes was... harrowing. Still, cool! My dagger is blinged.

The bluesky address is @attie.ai and it really needs to be in the top five accounts blocked on this platform. This is honestly some of the most tonedeaf shit I’ve seen from BS and thats saying something

Five years ago today I made a comic about Lenny from The Simpsons that changed my life. The response to it was incredible, I’m very grateful to everyone who has read it or been nice about it. If I think about it too much I get something in my eye. Here’s a piece I did to commemorate the occasion.

Of course the one clock in my house that noisily readjusts itself in the night once the clocks change is the one in my bedroom...

Unfortunately, we've got some bittersweet news: today we must share that Ivy Road is closing its doors due to being unable to secure funding for our next project. Read more via our blog post at www.ivyroad.fun/studioupdate...

The first hour was kind of rough, but I have been enjoying myself with Reunion! It feels much less confused compared to Double Exposure once it's allowed to breathe and stretch itself out. Nervously hoping it stays that way.

Next week there will be another existential boogeyman designed to discourage you from pursuing art. There will always be a mosquito in your ear trying to convince you your creativity has no value. Let this Sora situation be a lesson. Stop getting pushed around by scammers. Make art

Once again, I am a severely under-employed freelance illustrator/designer. If you're enjoying the nonsense seen in this space a bit of support is always welcome. Stuff I can sell you: octophant.us/buy Just give me money: ko-fi.com/phineasx Open to commissions and paying work etc as well!

Still no reviews for Life is Strange Reunion, huh?

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

I've spent most of my free time getting the Might & Magic 2 SFC video done I forgot to post that ABOVEUP IS BACK!!

VNDB founder Yorhel passed away on March 17, 2026. He created the website in September 2007, which eventually became one of the largest visual novel databases on the internet. vndb.org/t24787

When I contacted Ron Gilbert about the documentary, he told me "you need to talk to Brad Taylor". And talk to him I will. He goes by @lardratboy.bsky.social on here, and you'll hear lots of tech stories and insights from him if the doc goes ahead. Sign up at scummdoc.com to help get it greenlit.

Following a catastrophe where all was lost. It's time to return to the basics. Miyazaki and Hashimoto, famous for starting the Ys series under Falcom, descend upon the SNES to invent the merger of Action RPG and Town Builder. (Kind of) Let's talk Soul Blazer. www.youtube.com/watch?v=BAQe...

Making stuff is expensive, getting funding to make stuff is hard. And my new documentary film project @scummdoc.bsky.social is in danger of getting cancelled before it even really begins. All because the internet is so broken I can't reach a huge chunk of its target audience to tell them about it.

Real talk: We're coming up on three months in "validation" and have yet to reach a point where the powers that be at CREATORVC can be confident this thing is commercially viable (which is not to say that there's not a viable audience, only that we're not sure we've found it).

I'm so very pleased to say that Sam & Max creator Steve Purcell and his wife Collette Michaud, the former LucasArts art department manager, have agreed to be interviewed for the documentary, should it go ahead. (And if you want to help make sure it goes ahead, please sign up at scummdoc.com.)

LittleKuriboh is the reason I make videos today. He's done so much over the years and has been a huge inspiration to me throughout. Even years later, I am delighted when I see a new video from him! If you ever laughed or quoted his videos (and how can you not), consider giving him some support.

Made a video discussing the anniversary and the house situation. www.youtube.com/watch?v=QLd4...

VILE: Exhumed isn't on sale because it's not on steam but it is still free at vileisbanned.com

In less doom and gloom news I finally played through Ultrakill's 8th Layer update. It's phenomenal but I forgot Hakita does not care if you're rusty and out of practice lol

turns out "As Deep as the Grave" is how low some folks will sink

huge things happening for the untitled medieval zombie game btw

Restarting this account because I’m working on new music. Two notes in the interim: One: please support your local musicians, especially marginalised musicians. Two: anyone who uses or shills or defends generative AI occupies the same cultural space as book burners and is unwelcome.

They whitewashed a white woman.

This is *fucking hideous* good lord! It just utterly destroys the image and the intent behind it. It's like playing with several dozen bad Fallout mods + reshades slapped on thoughtlessly. It isn't upscaling, it's ruining.

Time is a flat circle
