Iāve had a problem with this script Iāve been working on, but now Iām feeling good about it. As a result of this though thereās going to be two main videos this month. Hopefully a week apart from each other, not a part one and part two situation but still related to each other.

Got to this boss in Silent Hill F and the game is really clicking for me now. I donāt agree with everything itās doing, but Iām really enjoying watching it come into its own and Iām liking it way more than the 2 remake as of now.

Started playing Silent Hill F, and I genuinely do like it, but Iām having the same issues I had last year with the 2 remake where it just makes me feel like Iād rather be playing the old ones. Strange issue with this series that I donāt ever feel with new Resident Evils.

I have always been a proponent of the Critter Ball concept, and I think more media needs to use it.

Re-watched Cabaret (1972) and suddenly realized that Joel Grey's performance as the Emcee seriously delivered one of the most terrifying characters of 70s cinema.

I read this this past week. Evil, evil book, but extremely well done, impactful, actually heartbreaking. I donāt even know what to say about it other than it will stick with me for a long time and that I would highly recommend it.

I hate to be doing this yet again. I know there are a lot more important things happening out there and we're all short on cash, but I'm two months behind on rent and am still struggling to find enough work to scrape by. I appreciate anything anyone can give.

It's illustrative about how abusers stand up for each other as if they were in some perverse facsimile of a union, look up Max Landis allegations if you're not aware, suffice to say anything that gets him this riled up is doing something right.

If Bloober is remaking Silent Hill one I kind of think they should get weird with it and just go ahead and do three at the same time and somehow meld them together. Both games are pretty short and are also so tied to each other that I think it would make for a better experience.

Iām worried about being able to switch between first and third person in the new RE. I donāt think thatās ever really worked well in anything and Iād much rather them stick to a single perspective and really nail that instead of doing two things where one inevitably feels much worse than the other.

Sorry to be vulnerable on main, but the next few months will decide whether or not I can continue making Renegade Cut. My Patreon payout this month hasn't finished yet, but I know it won't be enough to pay my expenses. Everything completely fell apart this year.

This actually happened to me once except it was a turkey that came in when I had the back door open letting smoke out after I burned something while cooking.

Not sure how to do this. My partner and light of 19 years,
@mitzistarkweather.bsky.social
has been diagnosed with metastatic (stage 4) breast cancer. We are hopeful that modern treatment can give her many more years of changing the world. If youāre able, we could use your help.

I find these Ghibli āmangaā publications that just reuse stills to be so weird. Not only is it just a worse way to experience the story of the film, but it also devalues what comics can do and just perpetuates the idea that they are interchangeable with filmic media. Just feels very anti-art to me.

Somewhat sad to learn that The Celtic Way in Asheville seems to have finally closed. To me it was in its own way a bizarre and horrible local institution. If you want to see the wildest reviews of any business go to its yelp page. The racist lady who ran this place terrorized tourists for decades.

Didnāt look close enough at this and didnāt know until folks told me that the design they put out was just an AI image. I get why folks are mad at it now and I really hate that. Very disappointing. When they said that Nicotero was involved I just took it at face value as real concept art.
