I turned 26 today, in what is probably an ill advised move. There may be cake though.

I just love how he moves and animates and sounds, it's so funny. He's such a cool guy...

Disappointed in myself whenever I tell myself I’m “doing research” for the video game work I want to do, and the “research” ends up being “playing more video games”.

DOWNSOUTH played the demo a while back and backed the kickstarter, figured id finish this doodle before i suddenly get loaded with work the kickstarter is still up so check it out if it looks like ur thing

C'mon you little shit let's go hone your corn powers. #cornkidz64

Mocking up unique death animations because I am bored and because they are funny.

Discworld QOTD, from Jingo “History was full of the bones of good men who'd followed bad orders in the hope that they could soften the blow. Oh, yes, there were worse things they could do, but most of them began right where they started following bad orders.”

I’m transgender, I live in Kansas, if you want to help rn donate to either the ACLU of Kansas or the ACE foundation in Wichita - the ACE foundation especially is the organization that will help people with money for groceries, rent, etc. More orgs also included in attached img acefoundationict.org

I've written up a brief script for anyone who wants to call or write your representatives regarding this bill (yes, even the ones you think won't care). PLEASE DO THIS IF YOU ARE ABLE. This bill *cannot* pass. You can find your representatives here: www.congress.gov/members/find...

Leading scientists have hypothesized that Waluigi only exists when he is required to cameo in a sports game, within a pocket of causality which has tentatively been dubbed Waluigi Time.

Every now and again I just get briefly fascinated by the existence of Karnov. The world’s lamest mascot character with an inexplicable series of guest appearances, yet somehow kind of earnestly cool *because* he’s kind of lame. And by having a sick ass fighting game moveset. He’s like Bizarro Zubaz.

Reading through Discworld has been a healing experience for the soul. It’s so funny and accessible and every now and again will drop on you some poignant reflection on the human condition that sticks with you when you go to bed that night.

Now that I got to play it I’m surprised that Serious Sam Xbox never got an official port. The UI is super slick and the system changes (Captain Wayne style health and armor, revives, etc.) are actually transformative. Great way to experience the game (and shoutouts to the team that ported it to PC).

Appreciate the translation on the download page of the mod I was trying to install suggesting that the game does not have a cheat menu but that it does have a The Cheat menu.

For the longest time the only audiobook I owned was all of The Lord of the Rings. It was 60+ hours and listening to it on and off would get you through about a month’s worth of shifts. As a result I have developed a bottomless resentment for ents, elves and Tom Bombadil.

I think the older I’ve gotten the sharper my sense of “something fucked up the development of the game I am currently playing” has become. And I dunno if that’s a good thing or not.

So for the first time in a while today I decided to go for a clean shave, and discovered that I have the exact jawline required for a picture perfect Serious Sam cosplay, which I guess gives me ideas for the next convention I attend.

I was talking about this with a friend but we came to the conclusion that the niche in pop culture that used to be occupied by stuff like Conan the Barbarian has gradually been replaced by the Souls genre broadly, which is funny because there is a direct line of inspiration between those things.

I've noticed the ways in which I engage with media are informed by other people. I'm often inclined to give things a chance if someone asked me to be fair or be harder if something was introduced to me in a critical context. I'm not sure if that speaks to a failing of character or if it's normal.

Having to view LinkedIn for any period of time makes my soul want to up and exit my body on the spot.

We have a few days to accomplish this. Trying to stay housed at least through both of our surgeries. My consultation is this month. We're still waiting to see ortho for his hand. Ko-fi is in the bio alongside the shop. Thank you!!!!

Maybe the winner for the most unhinged thing I’ve seen in a game is Zeno Clash 2’s “FPS Challenge” mode that drops you in an arena starting with a bunch of gun pickups. The goal is to kill enemies with attached intense particle emitters fast enough before your FPS counter drops below the threshold.

Clash: Artifacts of Chaos is such a cool ass lookin’ game, man.

Helloooo nurses #aotk #anthologyofthekiller

Visited the local bookstore this weekend and I guess I’ve started putting together a Discworld collection now.

Saw a lot of posts about Hugh Morris today and wondered why people were talking about the Dungeon of Doom before I found out it was a new Tomodachi Life thing.

Does anyone remember that arcade-style game about the snake protecting her cave's treasure from those 4 little miners that invade it? Because it's on the tip of my tongue but I can't remember what it's called. (It's an #annalyn species swap thing. For funsies!)

Last December, @cruiseelroy.bsky.social had came to me asking if I could help out on a more fleshed out version of Annalynn MD! I mostly handled this guy's sprites for the trailer. Without the help of both Cruise and @sparkbagart.com, my sprites would not have came out as good as they did!

Got to play more Minish Cap and holy shit Temple of Droplets is such a cool ass dungeon. It makes me wish the game had more Minish-sized dungeons because the theming of “mundane thing becomes entire level while small” is really strong especially when multiplied by an existing awesome level theme.

It turns out designing a level from scratch is freakin’ hard!! It was always easier when modding an existing game because you had the full suite of what level elements would be available to use from the start. Figuring it out as you go is a different story…

The funniest thing you’ll ever draw will be a one off gag in a drawpile 5 years ago that you forgot about until literally just now.

If I could write a thesis on something I would probably want it to be about Zelda dungeons.

Bring me the crystals, Lash.

The children these days will tell you that they yearn for a “smarter” indie animated show, but in my experience what they actually yearn for is not an indie animated show or even a cartoon at all but instead Star Trek Deep Space 9.

Everyone always jokes about “Doomguy in Hazbin Hotel” but what I actually want is Serious Sam to show up in Smiling Friends, with his Xbox model poorly greenscreened in and communicating entirely through canned animations with line recordings that were clearly done in someone’s office.

Anyways drew Serious Sam with the Serious chin #doodle #fanart #serioussam

I’ve seen Katamari cited as an example of the importance of outsider art in video games and I think knowing that the creator designed playgrounds helps illustrate why. Like this is a look into the mind of someone for whom that sense of what kids think would be the most awesome thing ever never died.

Anton! What is best in life?

When I was a little kid I thought I was going to make video games when I grew up but instead they put me in the office where we monitor the Squidward crushing contraption all day.

There have been a couple of points where I’ve thought about ideas for games you could reasonably play with one hand. As someone with chronic wrist issues it hits me there’s many things I wouldn’t be able to enjoy if I lost the use of it, and maybe it would be nice if there were more things I could.
