This demo is seriously so fire. If you have a steam deck especially then it's mandatory

I'm stepping away for a bit.

Between the financialization of everything and declining birth rates, this truly looks like the game for our times.

🏮Leading up to Lunar New Year festivities, I'm bringing back the ones I did for prior years!🏮 🧧 祝你好运 🧧

2026 #Porfolio update! 💪 mahlangu.artstation.com/projects/EzR...

5k done, and I beat my time! Lungs were well behaved and only hurt now about as much as they did yesterday.

I'm out of a specific med so it hurts to breathe, but since it's just a lil' pleurisy and not, say, asthma - I'm still aiming at a cute 5k tomorrow.

The brains are in the grenades: How enemies think in Tactical Breach Wizards youtu.be/gEFfBXQAtYE I'm not going to GDC this year, so here's a little talk for free - on a thing I want to share before I forget how it works.

I have spent most of this week trying to get my PayPal account back from admin limitation nonsense. Wow, what a mess. Very obvious that they made a bunch of decisions internal to "streamline" things with AI. But it doesn't know how to help and misdirects enthusiastically instead...

I moved my original artwork shop to damousey.me after my previous host failed to host. Still sorting out all the little add-ons and things but it's functional and I can start posting new listings again soon.

🤡 that Ars article about the eye infection...

scifi is not actually about space ships, it's about weird little guys (m/f/x) and their quest trying to operate a vcr without instructions

You don’t understand, we gotta burn out senior experienced devs, so we can keep having the same 5 discourses on a loop. There is a very real risk that if we treat people with respect and manage them well that we might have to stop re-debating basic terminology and practices.

Everyone is here!!! Had so much fun making this artwork for Nuclear Throne Update 100! 🥳

Some (more) good news: Our annual letter (below) shared that we saw more jobs in 25 than 24 after 2 years of declines. We're only a few days in & I'm absolutely knocking on wood rn, but January is up 53% YoY so far! If there's light at the end of this tunnel, it just got brighter.

First art of 2026! A natural theme progression from strawberries, pine cones. Watercolour + palette knife on 25cm square of hot press cotton paper. I'll list this in my shop next week once it's processed. (About $38 wo ship.) #watercolor #watercolour #art #painting #painters #artist #bskyart 🐡

Good intentions.

New year, new reading list, including a discworld reread. Open to book suggestions.

To breathe again. Smells like orange blossom and incense. #art #oc

Hearing people do their in-person year end "wraps" made me realise that I'd lost track of all the books I'd read in 2025. I know it's more than 35 because but I didn't know it was worth tracking. So I've finally started using storygraph.

The start of my year has been great. Just a little sad that I didn't manage a "first art of '26" before my "first methotrexate dose of '26" but I have 2 in progress so I think I can turn it around.

"now artists don't have to scroll google for hours" What do you think is happening? Do you think artists just type key words into google image search and scroll for hours until they find something to cut and paste? How do you think that works? These are not rhetorical questions. I'd love to know.

Some more old art that I was so proud of in 2006 and don’t think it got the love it deserved/put in front of the correct audience: “Patterns in Nature” The molecular structures are that of sugars found in honey (Maltose, Fructose, Glucose, Sucrose). I was studying honey bees at the time ☺️

Did I make masking tape ASMR? Please excuse the nails, I didn't start this with a plan to do it. I was actually listening to EDM on headphones while recording this.

Ninja turtles rule actually 💚

I really enjoy the emergent subgenre of media that is "genAI gets it spectacularly wrong". We can't argue about it getting hands wrong anymore though...

Time is owned by Marc Benioff, the CEO of Salesforce, which is currently trying to sell its AI tool to ICE in order to triple their recruitment. just a thing I think about sometimes while I’m at work, implementing his product for nonprofits.

Skyrim is developed by Bethesda, which is owned by Microsoft - so it's on the boycott list!

I am halfway through swatching the Schmincke Horadam Aquarelle dot chart. There are already 3 colours that I'm itching to add to my set.

Seeing South African penguins in the wild was wonderful. Instead of sending out Christmas gifts I figured adopting a penguin for a year for friends would make them smile AND help a critically endangered species. adopt.sanccob.co.za/get-involved...

Shiny! I've been planning a set of holiday cards for folk to pick up, but the baubles had been eluding me. But look! I think a found the seam to follow now. Pleased with these loose blobs. #waterColor #artSky #art #christmasGifts #painting

A fun side quest with lupus is continually learning all the terms for the variety of symptoms that turn up. The word of the day is apparently "glossitis".I had some sun exposure on Wednesday and now my tongue has a glossy smooth patch in the middle. Like the worst mutant ability.

Watch this juicy strawberry painting happening, but fast. The whole process was about 3 hours. #timelapse #watercolour #art #painting

The other subject I'm playing with right now is pinecones. I wanted to create Christmassy things but the baubles are kicking my butt. This is more fun. I think I'll have a set of card in time. Static image below. #watercolour #art #sciart

Despite the controversy, Horses is only shocking if you're unfamiliar with the history movies, theater, literature, or basically any art form that does not have stats. aftermath.site/horses-indie-g...

There are 2 multiday gaming events starting today in South Africa. One is a showcase of passion for a creative industry and the other has a social feed of AI slop.
