Got bit by a Dwarf Fortress-esque "fey mood" about 5 days ago but didnt have the specific yarn to get that project started til today. I now emotionally understand why those dwarves get murderous if they can't get started on theirs lol

Destroy All Monsters (1968)

This is an extremely good writeup that I agree with basically all of ponett.dog/blog/video-g...

museums are cool because the people who work there are like look at this neat thing and you're like wow that is neat and you just do it over and over again until it is time to go

Ringing in the New Year the best way I can, cocktail in hand at the Alamo awaiting Megalopolis

Happy 20X6!

Happy New Year!! 🎉

2025 Sure was A 12 month span of time More than anything else, if last year was the personal foundation building year, this year was the Constantly Getting Kicked In the Back of the Knees Every 3 Months Have a number of irons in the fire, but the continuous Starts and Stops have been killing me.

The final Calvin and Hobbes, which appeared in papers 30 years ago today.

Here’s to 2026

Was gifted a subscription to Criterion Channel for Xmas and before I even scrolled down the page I am positively rubbing my hands and grinning right now

Even if the two of us are ever torn apart ... Take my revolution #rgu

This year we've been told over and over that there are shortcuts to Doing The Work. But there aren't, not really. Here on the shortest day of the longest year I wrote a little defense of Doing The Work. dansinker.com/posts/2025-1...

Good nog

A lot of people are one sepia tone anime away from "figuring it all out".

Silksong & Steven Universe

Hard to wrap your brain around just how badly the media landscape has rotted in the last decade

I read this article every time I see it.

i finished playing final fantasy 9 for the first time recently! wonderful game

🍺💫

My Celes gouache painting from a few weeks back! It was difficult but still worth the attempt 🗡️

For posterity, this was the build that secured the final win. Hunter Crest squad let's go!! Winning run Fun Fact: ended up not touching the cogflies or the silk ability at all, and curvesickles only during the last phase

Lugia chewing undersea cables #art #pokemon #cyberattack

When I got this game i figured it was gonna be a 30/40ish hour game.... Silksong intensely has hands and boy was its entirety a roller coaster, and that final fight? Bananas. What are superb piece

Happy Birthday In Stars and Time! 🎉🧁 Two years old and I still stand by this statement

LETS GOOOO and all in a 2-hour timespan too!!! The fleas in this game are so good!

If you evade suffering you also evade the chance of joy. Pleasure you may get, or pleasures, but you will not be fulfilled. You will not know what it is to come home.

Can't believe I've cracked the code!! on Silksong!!!!! This is why I'm vibing with it so well!!!

there’s a thing here about for the last decade or so, online people have been very negative about small talk - the weather, or local news, or whatever - and small talk is the grease that keeps physical interactions going, and i am tired of ceding that to shut-ins

As it turns out...actions have consequences...and those consequences have hands

Every medium has a huge discovery problem right now, and the saddest part is that we know algorithms can be created to make it easier to connect art with its audience in a hyper specific way, but no one wants to let creators do that for free.
