Had a dumb thought and couldn't get it out of my head. I can't be the only one who made this joke, right?

remember; they're still planning to do this as soon as people forget don't let them think you forgot

I don't know why this is the first thing that came to mind

Run on this! It's a real thing! People want to hang out IRL but hanging out IRL is too expensive.

You are a wonderful thing.

Girlfriend is having a lot of fun with Star Fox

Hey you. Yeah, you reading this. I hope your July is better than your June. I hope that thing you're worried about works itself out for the best. I hope they text back. I hope you find that $20 you forgot about in a pocket right when you need it most. I just really hope things for you get better.

Friends Don't Let Friends Be Therapists

If there's one thing that grinds me about people in their early 20s, it's the sheer magnitude of intoxication they present with their sense of self-actualization that they drop the inhibitions when it comes to common sense decorum...

Stunt Double (1/3)

I detest having someone live rent-free in my head and my brain refusing to be rid of them, and not for lack of trying. It's as if my ego puts an impossible bar I'm meant to prove to this entity knowing that it'll never be passed and thus an artificial grudge is formed that I'm forced to reevaluate.

A Belated Father's Day Comic

Thinking of E. Gadd screaming through the Virtual Boo for his Penicillin meanwhile Luigi's zoning out on the elevator listening to I Touch Myself by Divinyls.

Gonna be honest, the more I sit with the tragedy of what Jax represents, the more it's reminding me of my own trauma and that overwhelming sense of irredeemability that I've undergone...

!!THE AMAZING DIGITAL CIRCUS FINALE SPOILERS!! The entire reason I find Jax's story compelling is *because* she is so abusive, so caustic. We like to dehumanize people who are cruel/abusive to others. It's easier for us to judge them and cut them out of our lives, our memories, our circles.

I wish I could cry when I wanted to.

I think about Wheatley's final monologue in Portal 2 a lot. There's just enough sincerity in his voice with just enough subtext with the context of his actions up to that point that you genuinely don't know how much of what he says is bullshit or if he even believes it.

"I'm Unhinged" is "I'm 14 and this is deep" for 20-somethings

I am gobsmacked.

My favorite SNES Edutainment game, Luigi Is Missing!

Projection (1/2)

Projection (2/2)

Watching my girlfriend go through loneliness is hard as someone who goes through his own and knowing I can't help her through it by myself. I wish I could do more for her.

Movie Night

Watched the live action How to Train Your Dragon movie last night with the missus. Stoick was cast perfectly Astrid was woefully miscast There are slight additions and noticeable omissions that feel like they cheapen the core of the original movie. A very Disney-esque needless live action remake.

Hitting a bit too close to home, that one.

I was reminded of that feeling of pause you get when you know you need to say something to someone and are deathly afraid of hurting them in the process. I've had something to say for a long time and yet that pause never came. Yet I still pause. Maybe I'm more afraid of hurting myself than them.

It just sorta falls that way

Honesty

I want a subscription service that specializes in blueprints. Call it OnlyPlans

The backward-ass thinking that being actively on social media or listening extensively to podcasts is the illusion that you're participating in conversation when you're being passive at worst and rubber stamping internal thought without the intrusion of critique or in-the-moment feedback at best.

I just have some opin- I mean Yellow just has some opinions is all, ok?

My Brother in Christ, you're porting PS2 games!

Like it's actually insane sometimes how so much of what's formed our systems of society have always stemmed from a claim of ownership.

Learning about what formed us into the species we are today and having that slight vindication that those in influential positions peddle a narrative about inane claims of hierarchy or superiority is such a nice feeling. Remember folks, people are fucking stupid.

Very cool to just shadow drop a cartoon based on one of the biggest games of the decade. No announcement or lead up or anything.

4 years ago in the Telltale Games Alumni FB group, Michael Parsons was asking if anyone had advice for helping his 15 year old son Kane achieve his dreams of being a filmmaker. Turned out alright.

Post-Weekend Clarity

Friends warn me about clicking sketchy links They said nothing about sketching linky clicks

Would a hall of mirrors be easier or harder for a vampire?

Inner Calling (1/2)

Excitement is anxiety's hopped up cousin.

Listening to Piano Man and I don't know what's more concerning about that first line. The fact some dude at the bar is fucking his drink or the pianist is just acknowledging it and nothing further.

Made a ComicFury page. Working on putting all of my comics on there. topin.the-comic.org

What a man. A dragon-man.

It's been a rough few weeks for all my trans homies out there, so I just want to say you are loved for who you are and fuck whatever those assholes want you to be. I hope the hate in their hearts eats them alive. But you, you deserve love.
