@brophy.website hi, thanks for your VGC tools! I've been recommending your teamsheet generator to folks but would it be possible to lower the resolution in the generated PDFs or make it more text based? Currently the files are too large email which makes it hard to send to stores for printing.

Noticed that the Champions spectator view now shows health bars, I choose to believe that the Champions devs were tired of seeing my awkwardly updating HP overlays haha. I might be able to move to fullscreen game footage now that I'm not using the external screen space. Hm.

Cereal Killer from Hackers (1995) in the middle of his "we have no names, we are nameless" line. You'd think I'd go with Phantom Phreak, wouldn't you? Too on the nose, and not in his voice. This is some shit Cereal would say while like Phreak states at him like, dude, I'm right here, what are you talking about.

I am the anti-Link; as a young lass I had tap dancing shoes, horse riding boots, ice skates, school shoes and sneakers... probably a couple more even. Now I wear exclusively sneakers and each pair better last *at least* seven years. The pair I got married in lasted about ten.

Tonight we all logged onto Big Walk with the express intent to lock ourselves in a room for 30 minutes and work on art while we were in there. Here’s what I made in that time.
A Big Walk character with a dark blue-green head, black body and dark green legs. They are seated on the ground, cross-legged while wearing a whiteboard in their backpack. They are sleeping and someone has written “kick me” on the whiteboard.

It is a portrait of the host of the lobby who booted the game so we could go hang in the room and do nothing for 30 minutes but hey we’re doing nothing anyway so we brought their idle character with us.

We had a bot join our Big Walk server. Over the radio we heard a voice that introduced itself as "Mr. Big Walk". It claimed that we had made enough progress in the game to "unlock Walking Assistance". Any time we used the walkie talkies it took that as a prompt to start "helping".

Of course as soon as I think about Fred Phantom I'm obligated to create a new strip and wouldn't you know the latest strips were made to be mashed up together. I added a couple of strips I missed to the blog post too. This may be the first instance of Fred text transposed onto Phantom visuals.
An edited version of the Phantom comic from 26th July 2026 is shown. The title panel includes the image from the corresponding Fred Basset title panel and the middle strip of panels have been removed. "The Phantom created by Lee Falk X Fred Basset by Alex Graham"

The font face throughout the rest of the comic used indicates the dialog is from Fred Basset, while the artwork comes from The Phantom.

Panel 1: A blond, bearded man sits on the beach next to a disheveled skeleton. The skeleton is wearing a bright red jacket and blue crabs have taken an interest in crawling over him. The blond man asks, "Did you have a nice game?"

Panel 2: The blond man has risen. Holding a skull-topped walking stick, he asks again, "I said... did you have a nice game?"

Panel 3: Low angle shot showing the feet of the main speaker as he walks away from the skeleton. Thought bubbles narrate: "Broke ninety for the first time ever!... And he's still in a state of shock..."

Happy Raiders day! I started this artwork with the plan to create a sticker of the Mechanic, and then somehow it turned into a whole print design! #splatoon #splatoonRaiders
Illustration of the Mechanic from Splatoon Raiders. They are depicted as a slightly muscular inkling with brown skin, and a “hairstyle” with blue, teal and orange tones. They are holding an adjustable wrench in front of their face, peeking through the gap at the “mouth” of the wrench.

They are leaning against a palm-like tree. In the background is a beach where Frye and Big Man can be seen and a distant Shiver in the ocean. Even further out on the horizon are shapes reminiscent of a Salmon Run level

RIP to the Wallis Cinema HQ sign, which our car would consistently read as a "110" km/hr speed limit (in what should actually be a 60 km/hr zone) It definitely baffled us for a few weeks when we got our new car!
Photograph of a sign to the side of a sidewalk. It reads "Wallis Cinema HQ".

The HQ in a circle and all the text on the side is presented is in a purple to yellow gradient on a white background. The spacing of the letters and the encirclement is both similar but very different to Australian speed limit signage.
