@arvie.bsky.social makes really good art, do check out his work once you've checked out this commission!

Hello bluesky! (I am too annoyed by Twitter right now will post more later)

Really wish people learned to deal with the weird little thoughts in their heads and built trust that the things their brain conjures up and chooses to respond to does not reflect their morality. Your actions do. That's all this puritanical shit is. People scared of their own thoughts and feelings.

All 3 current volumes of Draw Like A Boss by Ashley Edge (the first has editing credits to Elinor Rooks). I did read thru the very first volume, 2 and 3 are received thru most-recent Kickstarter backing (I also funded the 1st Kickstarter for this book). Gonna trawl thru 2 before getting to 3.

Kinda hilarious that I was rushing to office today when I forgot that today was my leave. To see a doctor to review my test results. My friend was thinking that I might have worked too hard. 🫠

More style imitation experiments, this time, trying to imitate the Megaman Zero/ZX style, with @digidoggi.bsky.social 's Freya! I feel I got closer than my previous attempts but still not quite there yet, still, pretty pleased with how this turned out!

Do NOT do this. Shout louder. Me and all the other nsfw artists need you to shout louder

I think it's becoming clear that if you like indie creators, you're going to need to support them any way you can. And that doesn't mean money, just spreading worth of mouth can be powerful as well.

It's only today I learned that Platinum Games uploaded the frankly excellent Transformers: Devastation to @archive.org, scoring one for game preservation. Seriously, you have no excuse not to check it out now. And I can't thank the Internet Archive enough for hosting it. archive.org/details/tran...

pssst..... hey... the Soda-Powered Penguin SAGE '25 demo is out now! the entire demo has been brought to a new visual standard thanks to @magipixel.bsky.social !! #indiedev #gamedev

Roughly a week ago, when a discussion in a TG group got heated/out-of-topic (politics), I intervened asking them to take it elsewhere, but was greeted with 1 thumbs down react speaks of how some who are older but acting half their age can't remain civil, always stuck in their own ideology.

If a group of crows is called a murder then a group of bird watchers should be called an investigation.

If you're scrolling through your feed and an artwork makes you stop scrolling - or heck you scroll back up to have another look... something meaningful is happening. You're having a ✨️moment✨️ with that artwork. It's so special when this happens! But more importantly... let the artist know! 😁

Good on her for finding a place that appreciates her, but the fact that she's recognised and supported more in Taiwan than in her own home says everything you need to know about Singapore and Singaporeans' views on the arts.

My Blu-ray reader/writer drove has arrived. Time to do some extraction and archiving. Thunder Force V is only one of many discs I intend to do work with. Physical media doesn't last forever. :)

There's a saying that encapsulates what happened to... that activist. "You reap what you sow." Stay safe out there!

Final Theory Test for Driving: done and dusted. Now onto the practical driving test prep.

punkitt somehow captures the essence of super robot wars distilled into a single image

Spent the whole day clearing my plamo backlog. Assembled this Animagear model, 剣聖ムサシ (Kensei Musashi, "Thousand Gladiator"). Articulation: basic, but kibble makes posing difficult. (2nd photo to show articulation points.) Unsure of how to customise further other than adding more paint.

Signed and chipped-in.

When I was just about to start my LDCS, a woman having phone battery troubles suddenly approached me asking if I had a spare power bank for her video lesson. I lent mine to her, and when I finished my session, I walked out of that facility almost forgetting to retrieve my stuff. O_o

Today is my Learner's Driving Competency Screening (LCDS). Coming Tuesday is my Final Theory Test (automatic transmission vehicle). Steady, but not too slow, and well-paced wins this marathon.

Recently there's news of disc readers/writers being no longer manufactured. Luckily I saved enough this month to get a Pioneer BDR (UHD enabled) to finally rip those CD tracks. Guess that overcoming my FOMO of sirspacedragon's art commish a few months ago was vital to what I needed most now.

Managed to solve an issue in a webdev project that needed GSAP for horizontal scrolling, where anchored navigation broke. Official CodePen demo didn't work for me, so had to re-read the code, swap existing variables, and solve at late night. While still having the flu since Monday. Is this worth it?

I haven't played Super Robot Taisen in a while, so when I decide to check up on RevoSKL on YouTube, I realized my memory of the finale of Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam is now extra hazy. youtu.be/5Wcpdj1jO-A

A: If a sergal gets knighted, would that mean it would go through a transition? B: What? But how? A: It's now a Sir 'Gal.

“Just make it exist!” Isn’t that simple, and neither is “making it good.” I know the left hand graphic has been making the rounds and is meant as motivation, but as a frequent victim of Scope Creep, please learn from my mistakes 😂🥲

Internal Evaluation for (FTT) Final Theory for Driving cleared (50/50). Coming next next Tuesday will be the actual FTT.

I think I told a few here about me learning to drive. I have to pass both a Final Theory and Practical Test (the latter I would worry slightly later). Coming Sat is an Internal Evaluation (sort of prelim test before actual Final Theory), same day as my booked practice session (now in last module).

Yesterday, I had the chance to play #MercuryAbbey. When Willie's dialog "I'm not cute, I'm a wolf!" appeared, I was instantly reminded of how my pal here, Nicky, looks like a wolf but is actually a husky. They both look almost identical, which just adds to how funny this whole thing looks.

inspired by @vvangore's (on twitter) piece 💕 #pixelart

Yesterday, Saturday morning, I had to get up at 6:30am despite having a bad fall the night before and took a 20-min walk just to get to my driving school before 8:30am. I didn't expect the light drizzle to worsen into full rain at my 10-min mark. I could say it dampened me, but not my spirit.

I reposted Matthew's post on Kevin Macleod's music, so I am also reposting comments and posts on alternatives for free music. Someone else also mentioned NIGHTMODE Records, but I'll have to look into that later and deeper.

I feel like a massive gap has opened for someone to be the successor to Kevin MacLeod, and not horribly taint their legacy by using AI.

That's both creative and cute at the same time!

Some animals are more pleasant than humans anyways... ...elh-oh-elh.

When I was in the middle of mandatory national service years ago, I used to play Contra III on the SNES to try/beat Hard mode. Back then, YouTube guides didn't exist, so the way I played was farming 30 lives to plow through. Seeing this art in hi-res is such a treat. I miss seeing such art.

I drew this fairly quickly just now today, to commemorate my country's national day SG60. I have this joke for quite some time, but only now I could draw it the way I truly intended to.

I am a writer who cares. Please celebrate art, community, language and humanity. We are so much better - can do so much better. Please boost, donate, tell your friends!

That dog saved my life!

Was at Singapore Games Association Drink-Up (SGGA) event last evening. Met familiar faces, listened to various game music covers, and played a trivia game with all participants there. I guess I need to play or know more games.

Found this on TikTok and it made me emotional ❤️ Artists create universes from nothing. Being an animator is an intimate understanding of life, environments, physics, what it MEANS to be alive, and the ability to convey the beauty within our world in seconds.

youtu.be/26HyHFTtPpM Being going into videos onto game design recently. I think the notion that all games are inspired by everything it came before, not all games are original in the purest sense. This presenter is from GeekNights, a channel I was recommended for diving into game design.

This project also inspired my chibi Samus run cycle

I changed the way I work a couple of months ago to follow this advice, it made a big difference and my productivity went up by miles. (I don't know who made this image, if you do, let me know so they can be credited)

There's rubberduck debugging. Then there's console logging. As a JS programmer, I should get a log plush to talk to for sanity checks.

I watched Shin Kamen Rider with my brother some time ago together at the local cinema, also came across a super roung guy serving national service full-time about how his dad taught him everything about tokusatsu and spotted all the references there. Kamen Rider does bring fans together.
