Very interesting to see Expedition 33 analyzed in the context of French history & politics. Turn on those subtitles and listen to voices from all across the world - they'll expand your horizons and help you grow.

criterion channel rn has a collection called YEARNING and a collection called STUNTS! and between them exits the entire spectrum of human art and emotion

Holy Toledo, what nice things people are saying!

Man, I picked a hell of a weekend to finish off all my aspirations for the last 2-3 years huh?

I strongly encourage people feeling too much of The Doom to emotionally regulate themselves, very deliberately, if you start dipping into the despair. Being overwhelmed can quickly turn into learned helplessness and we absolutely need people to do what they can to positively impact what they can

I started making this project back in 2023 when the Game Industry layoffs hit me. My stated goal was to”I want to prove that I still have a soul.”

I got to play (read) test this? It's great!

It's here. A visual novel of knights pushed to their breaking points, the power of love, and the sort of loathing you can only really feel for somebody that reminds you of yourself. THE FAIR UNKNOWN. maidandlion.itch.io/the-fair-unk...

There are certain queer times in this strange mixed affair we call life when a man takes this whole universe for a vast practical joke

Ganesh my brother I gotta tell you I could use some obstacles removed man

LANCELOT DU LAC ❤️ Coming to the Criterion Channel in March!

When I tell people I've beaten Claire Obscura, the thing they ask me, without exception is "Which one do you think is the canon ending?" and I'm not trying to be pedantic, but I have no idea why they're asking, or what that question means?

Taking some advice from @halimede.bsky.social , preparing for a bad time.

The end justifies the means. But what if there never is an end? All we have is means.

So like a year ago I tacked up the Hanged Man card near my desk, because, you know, it just seemed to vibe with where I was at the time, a time of trials and initiations and potentiality suspended. And I feel like that time is probably ending now, as I prepare to finally release this project!

Soon.

something that can be so chic is feeling like yourself again after a long period of numbness

(thank you to the one (1) person who followed me after seeing me read you-know-what at the you-know-where last night. You know who you are.)

Slowly this becomes more real.

The devs of Sayonara Wild Hearts weren't intending to make a game for a queer audience, but there has never been a game that was more For The Gays than this.

I can hold two metaphorical years of my life in my metaphorical hands. It seems so small.

It's done.

A Star Is Born With Big Naturals

Talk not to me of blasphemy, man; I’d strike the sun if it insulted me.

the player might not know what they want, but they do know when they're annoyed

Hot Take: Punch-Out is a Rhythm Game

"You make a fool of death with your beauty."

i love how poetry is (all at once) overthinking and overfeeling and overlanguaging

The interesting thing about the Harry Potter books is that it was a series that wasn't afraid to grow up with its readers. This is in stark contrast to the afterlife the series has as anodyne corporate comfort food for stunted millennials, now with bonus transphobia.

I think my version of Lancelot could be best described as: "Tart Grapefruit and Chicago's very own Malort are combined to make this one of a kind pie."

listen. "The sun rises. It is always doing that." is not bad writing. but it's like... pronking. this sort of line is a display of fitness which must be backed up by good writing fundamentals elsewhere or else you will simply be eaten by lions

Sharing a beautiful photo Mr. CMG snapped in mystical light over the Bahá’í house of worship with icy cold #birds during a walk he took this week because #nature is majestic in every season. #UrbsInHorto #Chicago 🌱

What a lousy year.

John Woo...you watch something like A BETTER TOMORROW or THE KILLER and realize he is a poet... You watch A BETTER TOMORROW II and HARD BOILED and you realize he's a fucking lunatic. But then you realize perhaps they're the same thing.

I think people really don't appreciate how remarkable it is that the games industry releases hundreds of video games every year when you consider that not one person on earth knows how to make a video game

I can't give up yet.

I can't explain it, but this took me like half a day of work.

Playing around with the UI tonight. I don't know if it's final, awesome how this finally feels more mine, all at once.

There's a joke in here somewhere about the time that I'm spending wrestling Python and how it may or may not qualify me to be a doctor of VNs...

Watched John Woo's "A Bullet In The Head" this morning, and let me tell you: I don't think I've ever used the word "harrowing" quite so much.

Finally back to getting this scene to work again. I'm not thrilled with the figure in blue, but this particular pose for the figure in red is one of my favorites in the whole project.

"A Better Tomorrow" both is and isn't exactly what I expected from having only seen Hard-Boiled and Face Off. What a neat movie.

Also, this part is coming along pretty nicely!

I like my animation of this bearded fishy-thing.

What I love about @caseyplett.com 's work is that I think she's a genius of what to leave out of stories. There's a timeskip in "Hazel and Christopher" where we're just dropped into the life of somebody ten years later, and btw, she's just picked up a history of sex work and alcohol...

Gods! While our Parliament cowers...

One of my girlfriends and I were discussing the meaning of "dignity" the other night. And, well, here's a start:

Our generation’s Virginia Woolf typing out a social media ad that says “it’s giving GIVING: gobble up these turkey day discounts” and throwing herself in the east river

As has been the case for many nights this month, I am lying awake panicking at the concept of Complex Betrayals. It would be reasonable to say that I'm in the right state of mind for toxic yuri.
