この方たちの絵の本薄めのやつ作りたい気がして、絵のアイデアもいくつかあるんだけど描いてると何かしっくりこなくて描ききらないということを繰り返している…

eventually "developing FFXI" is going to be one of those longstanding japanese crafts where only a few aged masters remain and they do the NHK documentary about the one guy who's the youngest apprentice at 47 and still gets up at the crack of dawn to tend to the mill

Oh hell yeah the twin towers are finally getting a rematch

He's a senior grey wolf who is approximately 10 years old. What a truly amazing feat to accomplish in the wild. Here's a little compilation to honor him.

Bestie's last day was today... I like all my coworkers, but it's weird that I no longer have a day of the week to look forward to when we'd see each other. That rhythm has defined the last four years. It'll be a big change to get used to ):

RIP freud you would have been foaming at the mouth over this shit

Hey I've got some expensive but necessary dental work coming up and I could use some help. Now would be a great time to consider checking out my patreon. $1 a month gets you access to everything. www.patreon.com/posts/how-pa...

headline after headline about the new scooby doo anime coming to tubi and literally not one "Tubi Dooby Doo". we've let the profession of copywriting wither on the vine

new york construction guy hearing about a "tufted titmouse": heh, this i gotta see!! later: that noble crest, the stout beak, the peach wash. the tufted titmouse is an exemplar of the natural beauty with which we are privileged to share this earth

I wrote about double spaces after periods, but not really. A bully pulpit to talk about observation, history, and curiosity. glog.glennf.com/blog/2026/5/...

the kind of games journalism we need more than ever. an elegant and empathetic encapsulation of this game and its surrounding context. empathetic to the devs caught in the crossfire, the makers of DE, the people who will struggle with whether to play this game. as always, diego's writing is a beacon

The strange hippie milf who comes into my work to subject me to arcane & circuitous flirtations has returned

Do you ever think about the fact that the designers of General Midi were tasked with coming up with the 128 most important instruments in the world, and one of the answers they came up with was "Goblins"

gao

Drakengard 1 has amazing gameplay if you're pure of heart

Move over Sonic.

I watched a friend start playing FF6 and doodled along, so here's Ymir doing their best. And a Moogle #FF6

Bax has a sharp tongue, is always expressionless, and calls Kirima a ‘raccoon dog’, so Kirima thinks she either hates her or is out to kill her.😌 Bax, however, thinks Kirima has a kind of clumsy, endearing charm, much like a raccoon😔

"birth rates are declining" don't care I already got born

Right is female fans, left is male fans. Top 5 of male characters and female characters.

"Senran Kagura maintained a higher percentage of female fans throughout its life than overwatch" is a eternally important factoid

a thing i think of regarding female character designs is that one 90's poll about SNK characters where Mai (gaming's OG titty ninja (affectionate)) was the most popular female character among female players, while Nakoruru (shy and demure young shrine maiden) was #1 girl to male players

like yeah guys are definitely designing sexy women because they like to look at them but I think people's relationship to them once they're out in the world is more complex than just that, it's interesting

2020 wish

Her voice is weird

2020. this one sat as a sketch for years, and even then i didn't do what I wanted for it. I tried the digital upscaling on it and I don't think it was worth it.

Chilling out at the RC Cola men’s club, we’re all eating Hardee’s burgers and wearing K Swiss sneakers, our Saturns are parked close by, we need to drive home to watch our favorite shows on Peacock

my suspicion is that an alarmingly large number of developer-facing game design choices are made at the exact point where "easiest to implement" and "funniest" meet

it's happeninggggg these games are so weird it's so good

In 1966 Joseph Weizenbaum developed ELIZA, a chatbot. He programmed a doctor script that simulated a therapist by rephrasing replies as questions. In 1976 he wrote the attached quote in his book. Whenever someone says they asked ChatGPT or Claude I think of this quote.

Chaos' sisters

Also if he had moved on indoor air quality standards and building ventilation and filtration as a priority instead of allowing cities to use it for cops harassing Black Lives Matter protesters and anti genocide protesters we’d have had better trust and later election turnout.

The lesson is we have to fight every battle. If even one GOP lie is allowed to get absorbed into the mainstream—like the lab leak shit—we’re all worse off for it. Lives will be destroyed because of it.

I’m afraid that too many people don’t understand just how terrible the Biden pandemic response was—and how it contributed to Trump’s return. I also fear that given how much this administration has dismantled public health, the appetite for looking back and identifying points of failure is low.
