paying homage to a legend in marketing
text and stars from top to bottom in a centered column: "the real heavyweight today is roman sands re:build" -dominic tarason, steamhype. 4.5 stars, noisypixel. 3 stars, the guardian. bestest best, rock paper shotgun. portraits of bunk and harold are flanking the reviews and positioned in a way to imply the 3 stars from the guardian extends out an extra star or two and the old coots are simply in the way. at the bottom, the roman sands logo and text declaring "out now on all major platforms"

Roman Sands RE:Build is out. After so many years, you can finally play our labour of love. It's deranged, it goes SO MANY PLACES, it probably shouldn't exist, and I've no idea if you're going to like it or not but that ain't the point. Roman Sands RE:Build. store.steampowered.com/app/2231460/...

I helped with some design work on Roman Sand RE:Build. It's been a long time coming, but after a lot of delays, I am so happy it saw the light of day today. Please go give it a try, it's not what it seems at the surface. Thank you 💖 store.steampowered.com/app/2231460

Happy birthday to desktopGeneration, which has brought me more joy than anything else in this crazy, wild world. Half a decade down, and so many more to go. My health issues have thrown '26 off track, but the Direct next week will be a great celebration of who we are. Enjoy. :~)

The deskGen.net remix contest [AUG.21.26 thru SEP.18.26] Details below.
Intro
The administrative staff of deskGen.net is happy to announce the deskGen.net community remix event! Take this opportunity to put your own spin on some artworks from the members of desktopGeneration.

You'll be given assets, layers, and project files from various different desktopGeneration artworks. Then, for the next month, you’ll be able to work on and submit your remix artwork. After a community vote, the three most popular entries will be crowned the winners.

Rules
-	Remix artworks must be submitted to the Remix Contest thread on deskGen.net by September 18th, 2026. The following week, deskGen.net users will be allowed to vote for their favorite submissions, after which the winners will be announced on September 25th.
-	Entries must be wholly created by the participant to qualify, excluding the use of assets provided for the contest.
-	All participants must have an active and valid (that is, not banned) 
deskGen.net account.
-	When posting a remix artwork on your own socials, the original creators of all assets used must be properly credited.
-	While desktopGeneration members may create remix artworks for the contest, their entries will not be included in the community vote.
-	Only one submission per person can be entered into the community vote.

Prizes
-	Winning artworks will be featured on all desktopGeneration social media channels, with appropriate credit.
-	Winners will receive 1,000,000 forum gold on deskGen.net.

Guidelines
-	Submissions should include assets from at most one original artwork.
-	Submissions may include additional elements of any kind, as long as the resulting remix artwork clearly references the original. 

Fine Print
By submitting an entry to the contest, you are granting desktopGeneration the right to share (with credit) your artwork across our social media channels. We’ll reach out to make sure credits are accurate across platforms (Twitter, Instagram, etc.)

A fun little side project from me, I've spun up a micro.blog account and it syndicates to ActivityPub & ATProto - @whatadrag.net. I've found that writing my motorsports & car opinions in a Daring Fireball-esque format brings me peace. This isn't a serious operation, but I hope you dig it.

If you haven't heard from me the last few weeks I'll get back with you over the next day or two. Turns out high stress can mess with your hormones and throw your whole body outta whack, which I learned by collapsing on a stairway. I feel properly human again but can't push it.

A few months ago, I brought together a group of talented artists with the goal of making a new collective happen. They have all of my strategy, all of my tricks, but despite the presence of my fingerprints: this is theirs. I cannot wait to see what they do with it. Check ‘em out.

I guess it isn't the most absurd thing to do, yet on really rare occasions I go through all the grief of someone dying all over again. It's usually my dad. It makes sense if it's my dad. Tonight, really wanted to ask my uncle the most mundane question. But it's been nine years. I miss him.

:/ I'm sure it'll be another good way to play OoT, but I really do think it's the least-in-need-of-an-update game of its era. Maybe second to Mario 64. Maybe.

Few things bring me as much joy as heavily discounted (still good) salmon. Tonight, Scottish salmon pan fried in extra virgin olive oil. Light dusting of old bay because I didn't feel like thinking too hard. Later in the evening, some Walker Black will wash it down. Usually never stocked at my OHLQ.

I am going to be the first-ever editorial cartoonist for Gaming
A cartoon of the Grim Reaper floating down a hallway knocking on doors. Instead of his skull head and scythe the reaper has the smiling cool-guy emoji as a head and is holding a bunch of party balloons. the two open doors behind him, labelled "metroid fans" and "kirby air ride fans," are both open and somebody is doing a thumbs-up from inside the room and saying something like "wow cool!!". the party reaper is currently knocking on a door labeled "starfox fans." ahead of that is a door labeled "kirby's dream course fans" and then an even more distant final door that says "excitebike fans"
