A tiny bit late but we'll be trying not to LOOK OUTSIDE for at least one more stream! twitch.tv/mattjwilson

Part of being in my early forties is realizing I can’t be the superhero producer I was in my 20s. I can’t throw a 20 minute rig cartoon together in a week now, can’t afford to disrespect my body by pulling all nighters. If I get 30-45 seconds’ worth of cartoon work done, it’s a good day.

corporations are entirely happy to see Horror Public Domain films be loathed by the public, because it's a stepping stone towards a future day in court extending copyright beyond our lifetimes, as people look on and say "At least there won't be a 5 dollar horror movie on Tubi I don't have to watch!"

In 5 minutes I will be Looking Outside again. well, not literally, it's night time so there wouldn't be much to look at. Not even the cosmic horror is interesting with all the light pollution! Guess I'll keep playing the home version instead! twitch.tv/mattjwilson

For the sake of my sanity, my GOTY list will be split into a part 1 and a part 2. There are just too many games. Part 1 by end of January, part 2 maybe March? Part 2’s list will merge into 1’s for the final ranking.

Well, fine, everyone keeps asking me to do it, I guess I'll LOOK OUTSIDE. Hm, seems fine, a little snowyyyyyyeeaAAARRRRRARRRRRGGGGHHHHHH!! twitch.tv/mattjwilson

Seems like even the holiday mint m&ms are retired at this point -_-

lmao the original bonus stage episode 3 had an MC Chris remix in the credits what the hell was my taste back then

been under the weather the past few days, no video tomorrow. animation of the year vid delayed to mid-January, GOTY vid possibly end of January. BS Remastered #3 still on target for Jan 5th

Hi new followers! If you don't already know I have a new game coming out on January 22nd! It's a narrative adventure set in the year 2003 where you are a young writer trying to make sense of the world: store.steampowered.com/app/2088810/...

Join Diana and I and let's finish Escape Simulator 2 together on this foggy Chrismas Eve! twitch.tv/mattjwilson

i legit do not know what the gunnerkrigg court thread wants out of comic storytelling anymore. they're reminding me of the steven universe fandom. except the webcomic thread's fave comic is Foreach so I guess i should be more reminded of the homestuck fandom??

Gonna be streaming Escape Simulator 2 with Diana in 5-6 minutes, and a house guest! twitch.tv/mattjwilson

in my dream last night i searched strategy games on steam and it claimed that they were in the broader category of "Country". are strategy games the country music of gaming??? dream news reports

Have a holiday pick-me-up with some festive episodes of Bonus Stage, Deadly Space Action, The Puzzle Hunters and Sweet & Sour! youtu.be/Iz8svzLtA8Q

Saturday night's all right for puzzling! Diana journeys closer to the end of Taiji as I do my usual heckle-and-guffaw routine: twitch.tv/mattjwilson

it never ceases to amaze me how many developers straight up lie about not using genAI art until they're caught, even placeholder. like, hmm, it's almost as if they know there's something ethically and morally wrong about it!!

at the moment, monday's holiday cartoon lineup looks like this:

Planet Smashers latest album is their best since Unstoppable; they finally managed to reclaim the sound they had in the 2000s, after 14 years of trying. lyrics are still not my favorite, but some real earworms (no reference intended) on this one. would love to license Torpedo and Falling for my work

instead of thinking about jonathan blowhard, watch Diana puzzle their way through more of Taiji, the Witness-like without the pretentiousness! twitch.tv/mattjwilson

recent commissions!

the father of indie games would probably be Moraff and his many shareware games of the 1980s. jonathan blow isn't even a son of indie games, he's thoroughly disowned

bruh @mattwilsoncss.bsky.social

new commission of my tabletop character Ace by @mattwilsoncss.bsky.social!

It is the 90s, and there is always time for Taiji.... twitch.tv/mattjwilson

The original theme song for 8 Hours back in 2008 was "Let's Hang the Landlord" by The King Blues in case anyone was thinking "damn this person got woke recently". i couldn't use that on youtube of course bc it would've gotten copyright-gotched

Bonus Stage Remastered #2 is out! Some people are gonna go feral when they see the outfit I gave Julie in the new scene: youtu.be/RcOcujxsnbQ

I mentioned it in chat but I’ll be doing a video on my favorite freeware games in 2026. My games videos will basically be like that in the new year, longer and listier!

It's time for Matt & Diana, the Blue Rulers, to stream again! Uh not Blue Prince, though, we're still not ready to dig back into the third layer yet. Instead Diana's gonna be trying TAIJI! And if they don't vibe with it, we have backup options. Join us won't you? twitch.tv/mattjwilson

why do people constantly falsely equivocate genAI with early Photoshop? it makes ZERO sense. no one ever said "Macromedia Flash steals art, and ruins the environment". and it created jobs for animators in the US! entire studios built up! this shit is so annoying. genAI is not the printing press!!

Alright, patreon posts are up. Episode goes live on Youtube in 7 hours. Going to sleep now!!

Sorry, I guess the Patreon version goes up on Monday. Don't like there to be that little separation between Patreon date and Youtube date but I was up late finishing a major commission. Just how it is.

Small delay: I'm moving Bonus Stage Remastered 2 to Tuesday. It's already pretty much done but I can't do the final steps until I'm finished with a specific art commission. It's fine, these upload deadlines are arbitrary and the animation channel is not even monetized yet. Patreon version tomorrow!

Finishing Kathy Rain 2, maybe hopping to another game after?? Me and @diananock.bsky.social at it again with more puzzling. twitch.tv/mattjwilson

whoa, catbite licenses their 2025 album on youtube. this is huge news for future bonus stage episodes, i think

this part of the panty & stocking season 2 review from THEM jokered me a tiny bit

unrelated to anything else. i'm going to be calling metroidbrainias Discovery Games

If The Game Awards is meant to be a celebration of the gaming industry, I'd hate to see the funeral.

livethread for TGA here, for easy mute or watchalong. of course TGA brags about indie developers carrying the game industry, even though they won't comp them tickets to the event and charge them $700 a ticket to attend

every company supporting genAI is basically saying copyright infringment is okay, as long as it's them doing it. at this point there is no moral argument against piracy, and in 2026 we're probably going to see some interesting rulings from judges on that matter in america.

i forgot the dumb awards are tonight so I might stream the end of Kathy Rain 2 on Saturday night instead of tonight. maybe i'd stream TGA but it feels like i'd be endorsing/promoting a shitty event hosted by a shitty man who silences minority voices. i may just livepost in an easily-muteable thread

turns out when most of your customer base goes "wow that's neat, wish I could afford that", you don't actually make money

at the very least the BGs were easier to update for this episode of BS Remastered (#2) so they're all revamped now as of today. tomorrow I revise the existing poses and then friday I record the new audio and add new poses, and then it should be good to go for Monday.

It's like Kathy Raiiiiiiiin, on your wedding day! And who would've thought, soothsayerrrrrrrrr? twitch.tv/mattjwilson

I was.. uhhhhh not a HUGE fan of Tonic Trouble when I played it; see my review here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=YzCq...

I’m nearing the amount of 80+ scores as last year, 2025 gaming is going out strong

I'm ready to point, and to click, across a gorgeous adventure game called KATHY RAIN 2: SOOTHSAYER. Join me won't you? Want some rye? Course 'ya do! twitch.tv/mattjwilson
