On APWOT I’m currently working with a really talented artist from Minneapolis and the things they’ve shared about how it’s been for them and their community are beyond the pale. The stream is doing amazing. It’s great to see people showing up like this and supporting each other. Onwards to 200K! 🙌

Libraries get me emotional man. What do you mean I get to use all this for free? Legit utopian.

I will be IN PERSON in studio for this stream!!

Help me solve a dilemma. 🤔 What should we treat as the 10 year anniversary of APWOT? 2014 🌱 When I made the first zine 2016 💸 The first kickstarter for issue 1 2018 📕 When issue 1 was published

One last boost for the evening crowd. This has raised a truly staggering amount of money, thank you all!! Also a couple people have said this is one of their favorite videos of mine, which is very nice to hear.

I’m at the printing press today for our reprint of issue 4. 🖨️📚

My full illustrations for A Profound Waste of Time gaming magazine. This was a multi-illustration project for an article on Yoshitaka Murayama, the creator of the Suikoden series and Eiyuden Chronicle. Creative Director: Caspian Whistler

With ever-shifting seasons, schedules and moods, Persona 4's vacation town of Inaba challenges you to spend your time there wisely. Our second Archetypes feature on seasons, written by @emilyprice.bsky.social, is now live: www.eteogames.com/seasons-bc-i...

Every morning I fight the beast.

We're also running another fundraiser too! This one, like last time, is for the Palestine Children's Relief Fund. Back in 2023, PMG viewers donated $67,000 to the PCRF, which is mad. I've no idea if that's possible again here, but please consider chucking a few quid into the pool, if you can.

I bought all the mags from @apwot.bsky.social, solely based on my friends’ suggestions. « you gonna like it ». That’s it. No additional context. Nothing. I got the collector edition every time because they are so beautiful. Tho I didn’t know how they’d actually look like before receiving them.

🎉💥Stop!! Hibari-kun! Vol 1. is here!🔥🎸 (anim: Jack-Amin Ibrahim)

I’m leaving MCV/DEVELOP in the new year, which means that I’m available for work! If you need: - Narrative / Game Design - Screenwriting or Comic Scripts - News - Reviews - Interviews - Features - Mock Reviews & Consultancy … or anything else we offer over at hologramghost.com, please hit me up!

Fucking hell man, briefing art tasks and then getting the art back and having it blow you out of the water is like probably one of the best feelings in the world

I’m home now, v happy but too tired to play Metroid prime 😭

We did it! 3455 backers raised over a quarter of a million for APWOT 6!!! Thank you all so, so much for making this the biggest campaign we’ve ever done! Love you! ❤️🥳🎊🔥⚡️🎇 Check out the countdown to the end of the campaign at our launch party tonight! 🙌

That's my art he's holding up there! The craziest thing to see just before going to bed. Never would've thought I'd see the day where GCCX's kachō would be matching his head up with a piece of art I made for the lovely APWOT magazine...

quite possibly the dopest shit ever!

I cannot express to you how magical this is for me.

A joy to look at, a wonder to read and will look mighty fine in your home. Go back this beautiful thing!

Got my copy @apwot.bsky.social issue 5 featuring my piece on Yoshitaka Murayama. As usual @cazwis.bsky.social and the rest of the team did an incredibly job putting this together 💜 You can get it here: shop.apwot.com/collections/...

The new APWOT arrived yesterday and it's simply marvelous to hold and read. I may be a touch biased having worked on multiple issues, but @cazwis.bsky.social produces a wonderful product and you should totally check out the Kickstarter for the next issue: @apwot.bsky.social. Print ain't dead.

Next up in our music game series: a big profile of Sound Fantasy and Electroplankton creator Toshio Iwai, based on a three-hour call with @radishgames.com.

Just because there’s 22 days left to back the newest volume of @apwot.bsky.social does not mean you should dilly dally. Lenticular cover? Sheeeeeeeit. Sign me up. @cazwis.bsky.social always delivers, y’all.

"I see the game as the guest. I want to make sure I do everything I can to show off every part of this guest." I spoke with Shinya Arino, host and faithful "employee" of GameCenter CX about his philosophy, career highlights, and the secrets behind the trailblazing show. He was a delight.

A Profound Waste of Time Issue 5 arrived in my mailbox yesterday, and it's just perfection as I've come to expect from APWOT. The cover story about Unicorn Overlord and Vanillaware was great and accompanied by some spectacular artwork throughout. @cazwis.bsky.social congrats on the release!

The special edition of APWOT 6 will feature a lenticular print affixed to the cover, allowing Astro to change expressions like he does in game! Art by @error403.bsky.social 🤖 ✨

Perfect excuse to #84bump right here

Heck yeah, support A Profound Waste of Time! They are sooo cool.

Just received APWOT5 and god @apwot.bsky.social is genuinely and consistently incredible. This edition is extra special to me: I am super honored to have my short essay on how games as a medium and flying as an activity connect in my brain.

Great game journalism in these pages. Support this worthy project. Honored to have contributed in the past! www.kickstarter.com/projects/caz...

APWOT is easily the best printed media about video games. With a bullet. Been a fan since the first issue and back it every year. Absolutely amazing quality and design on every page, with some fascinating stuff inside. BACK APWOT!

Come party with me
