All day please

Il pick my games you weird loser

Merry Christmas to the hundreds of anime avatar bot accounts that followed me in the last 24 hours 🥰

Merry winter everyone I got paid to draw this

“I dunno I think we need protests that actually change things” Peter from Peter’s Perfect Projectors: “why can’t we keep using the projectors though? People see the slogans, agree and move on what’s the issue here? Not the projectors, surely”

Notice how it’s good?

You don't need to be able to read every pore and eyelash on a character's face for "good" graphics. You need good art direction and design. Those are what ensure your game still looks striking and memorable even decades later.

Goblin Man thing

Something spiritually demanding of a Wigan Solstice. Like at the best of times this place feels like it’s awaiting langoliers but having like 4 hours of sunlight just feels like it’s a car fire that has burned itself out

Hoping you all have a warm, light filled Longest Night from my little family to yours

I’m eating good because watching fascists get battered is my favourite food ☺️

Someone dropped off gifts for the baby and was very nice but I’m on maybe 40 minutes sleep and for the life of me I don’t know who it was. We’ve been playing guess who about it for 2 days.

This time of year Sarah makes homemade giant Rolo chocolates and, as is tradition I make myself significantly ill on purpose

We take it for granted maybe but this place not having an awful ecosystem of influencer content really does make it The Quiet Room at the worlds worst party

Always love starting next years weekly planner and making an effort to write clearly despite it looking like a note you find in a horror game by February

billionaire: i have 3 brains. in my skull interviewer: incredible

Will they get to you by Christmas? Absolutely not, but I have calendars that have a postcard on the back of every perforated page that I can send to you by the new year. www.pamwishbow.com/shop/p/2026-...

I think every comics creator should internalize the fact that using a.i. for any part of your job not only comprises your work but it also fucks over every other person working with you. It's not worth it. Ever.

Rogue trader on stead deck happy holidays to me don’t fucking dare email me until spring

For no particular reason at all I want to share the brief story of how Talk A Good Game’s show art was crafted! I communicated my concept (see: my sketch) to a real human artist. They said “that sounds rad!” So I sent them money. Support artists. Art by the magnificent @sonnyross.bsky.social 💙

New Illustration: "We Beat 'Em Before..." Taken from a British WW2 poster, the original features a WW1 German soldier at the top. I just swapped it for the Nazi soldier it had at the bottom.

Man this makes me miss Destiny. But in the bittersweet way you remember someone you liked in high school and you look them up and they’re selling funko pops on TikTok

The cowards way

Oh

guy being handed large bags with dollar signs printed on them: well you see, using genAI is simply inevitable,

Somebody gotta do it

Been thinking on the use of GenAi for mood boards. Ethics and legal risks aside, I truly believe using GenAi as references deprives one of many pivotal things. Here’s a blurb on what I mean:

It’s not too late to get your cousin who smokes a ton of weed and lives in someone’s garage the perfect Christmas present: www.inprnt.com/gallery/bruc...

I don’t work in marketing because I can tie my own shoes but if I did this is what I would lead with

11 months sober. Recovery is not only possible, it’s sick as fuck. So grateful to be alive.

The fact that the games industry is so dead-set on disregarding Concept Art as being part of the game it helps make is eternally frustrating to me. If the slop machine extrudes a design for you that you then force an artist to make "real", that still means there's AI generated content in the game.

And is there a Mrs Dickfingers?

Same way I found out about Epstein

Writers who use genAI for illustrations are class traitors. We all have to fight this beast TOGETHER. We are not just trying to save SOME of our livelihoods.

Gonna need a whole new body this one is done

Since Polygon is leaving it out of the headline: Epic Games partnered with The Game Awards to put money into the pocket of a bigot who uses her wealth to further the genocide of trans people through lawsuits and legislation. Every 'free' game gives money directly to JKR, and they are complicit.

Ahhh yes Vox, the same Vox who hoovered up a bunch of websites that used to be daily visits and gutted them to the point I have literally no reason to visit them ever, has something to say about creative decline

AI has actively made life worse for literally everyone - tech is now more expensive - you cannot trust most media of reality anymore - programs barely function - energy prices - literal psychosis - your voice can be literally stolen for evil - more spyware but hey, you can avoid paying an artist.

Sarah got me a cutlery set that matches a restaurant I really like and what I’m saying is autism in relationships is only hard if you make it hard

I think about this tweet every day

Robin Ince reveals to last night’s audience at a recording of Infinite Monkey Cage that the BBC has forced him to resign over his support of trans people

Last post for USA is Monday!

Sarah got me pears for my birthday and zoo animals have it made I tell you

Hey marketers! Happy holidays I know this is kind of the great big show to you guys this time of year, real quick: if you email me twice in one day I will never buy from you ever again 👍 have a good one!

Tomorrow's front page 📰 'The UK is letting these people die'

But but but I’ve always dreamed of driving everywhere!

Losers

I usually do all my illustrations in one sitting. Currently every time I put Valerie down and pick up the iPad or sketchbook she starts crying. So things are being drawn in 5 minuite bursts as I have a very loud critic in my home

I have this on my wall in my home office and so should you.
