When Xbox spent billions of dollars on acquiring studios, I knew how things would end, and I can only look at what's happening now with a thousand-yard stare. The company is making thousands of people pay for their poor decision-making. I sincerely hope for the best for everyone affected.

Enjoy this brand-new teaser image revealed at Anime Expo for the next Shantae game, currently in development!

a friend asked me to draw princess peach

Look, I don't want to get my hopes up or anything, but PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE

The death of physical media seems like a small thing practically but in essence it represents the total dissolution of games as “objects of art” and instead reduces them purely to “intellectual property”. It’s a slow disaster but if you care about games as an art form it IS a disaster.

made a horrifying discovery last night while drawing

Fuck it. Be prepared. Mod your PS3 and put PKGi on it. Hunting for physical PS3 games is about to get a lot tougher.

My original concept for my TMG panel was to predict the future of games 10 years from now. One of my talking points was how, in 10 years, you will never own any game you buy. I knew it would happen, but I didn't expect it to happen so soon...

Gravity Rush 2 is $9.99 on US PSN buff.ly/3ZvSYYW Free Gravity Rush 2 DLC buff.ly/4gglEui also on PS+ Extra

I made it home safely. Thank you all for an unforgettable weekend!!!

🌷🌱🌸🌿🌷 Spring Witch!

Thank you to everyone who showed up for my panel and signing. I have never done anything like that before, but the turnout and support was beyond what I could have expected. Multiple people told me they made the trip out specifically to say hi to me. I'm honoured. Thank you for an amazing day!!!

Ocean View I wanna give thanks to @liamtriforce.bsky.social for doing a big ol' retrospective on Shantae, which inspired me to make a neat lil' thing with our favorite half-genie hero, and also reminding me to art here more!

New video! The Shantae series is a labour of love. This video is my labour of love to the series. Link in replies!

If you're at TooManyGames, I'll be at my panel in an hour, and then a signing right after! Hope to see you there!

So... Steam summer sale. I buy Dynasty Warriors Origins and fall in love with it... right before I have to leave for TMG. I'm gonna miss that game while I'm gone.

A reminder! This weekend! I'll be at TooManyGames! I'm doing a panel on Saturday at 5PM, and then a signing at 6PM right after!

The Shantae retrospective is live on Nebula! YouTube on Friday! nebula.tv/videos/liamt...

30 Years of 64 ⭐️

The Shantae video is finally complete! Mostly. Just need to add music and fix a few things, and it'll be up on Nebula tomorrow! YouTube either Thursday or Friday, I'm not sure I want to release a video on the same day as GTA 6 pre-orders going live.

The era of Mega Man X may be in the rearview mirror, but the legacy of Zero lives on. I hope you enjoy, sharing the video is very much appreciated. youtu.be/Yd-ajEUZKYE

On a whim, decided to rewatch Season 1 of Wakfu over the past week. Haven't seen it since I was like 14. The season starts off rough, but it comes into its own. A surprisingly emotional take on the hero's journey and an INCREDIBLE love letter to Japanese animation with stunning art direction.

I usually never get all of the achievements in games, but I decided to make a few exceptions recently. Doing this for Shantae and the Pirate's Curse was long overdue on my part. I love this game so much.

i will freely admit I haven't played Gravity Rush but I thought Kat was really cool in PlayStation All-Stars. should fix that one day #art

A reminder! This weekend! I'll be at TooManyGames! I'm doing a panel on Saturday at 5PM, and then a signing at 6PM right after!

おかえり

RIP Bobby Prince. His music legacy will live on, making inspired music for Commander Keen, Wolfenstein 3D, DOOM, countless others. A true legend. And such a nice man, great musician, wonderful, fun-loving man, nothing but happy memories of him. A loss to the world.

I tell people at cons that to stick with drawing or any kind of art, you need two things: 1) have so much fun you can’t stop 2) train yourself to have a high frustration tolerance If you have 1 and not 2, you won’t improve. If you have 2 and not 1, it’s a miserable chore. Then I show them this:

Couple of weeks ago marked the 10th year of @liamtriforce.bsky.social 's Youtube channel. His work will always be one of my favorites and I wanted to draw something to show my appreciation! ^-^) #gravityrush

Yep, it's three hours. I somehow wrote a three hour video about Shantae. I compared it to Zelda, I talked about dungeon and level design, I talked about art direction and technical stuff. One thing led to another, and now I have a three-hour video. Oopsies! Teehee! It'll be out sometime next week.

More Sakura Wars 2 tonight on Twitch! (link below)

i hope i can write something a quarter as good as mother 3 someday

me: technically baseball is parryslop my dad: i’m gonna assume grandchildren aren’t in the picture near term then

i created this meme like 4 years ago on twitter and it went super viral and i think i got like 20 death threats. that's how you know i was cooking with this one

I really need to cut this thing down. The Shantae video might end up being three hours long. What is wrong with me? Why do I have to enjoy video games like this?

Glad to see Muramasa coming to PC. I asked Vanillaware’s George Kamitani why he hasn’t put his other games on PC and he said he totally wants to, but it’s up to the publisher to finance the ports. So if you want 13 Sentinels, Dragon’s Crown, Unicorn Overlord, Odin Sphere etc. on PC, make some noise.

This year, I discovered three ways to genuinely revisit the past ⏳ beyond nostalgia. They involve re-playing media, re-syncing your mental timeline, and re-creating moments from bygone eras. 📺🕰️🔙 How to Time Travel (or: The Night My Mom Camped Outside BestBuy for a Wii) youtu.be/watch?v=4Uahb-6fE_k

Given all of the recent genAI discussion, I wish to repost this.

"We already live in a world where you walk outside and there are billboards and signs that are obvious AI slop. That’s become part of our visual reality. To me, generative AI feels less like innovation than a symptom of a broader cultural and economic rot." I like this kid.

I was originally going to have two videos out by the end of June, but as always, I took on more work than I could handle. Had to put off the second video until after TooManyGames. The Shantae video will be released this month, though! If nothing else, I hope I bring new people into the series.
