It was great meeting you! Hope to see you again soon! And hey, maybe one day I'll even get to meet Liam who despite living in the same country as him have never crossed paths with him. It's gotten to the point I kind of assumed he's a mythical creature✨

It hit so hard when I saw it during its initial run. I was a civil servant seeing it on a weekday morning in the DC area killing time before a flight back from a bizarre business trip. I could just imagine the characters from the movie inhabiting the same offices I'd just visited.

Man who has won the lottery 3 out of 4 attempts: I'm going to win the lottery again. I'm very good at this. Man who has won the lottery 3 out of 5 attempts (and is going again): Well you see, I expected to win the lottery again, like any person would, I just got unlucky this time!

after hundreds of hours of grinding, here's what playing the anime horse girl gacha game taught me about b2b sales

A screenshot of the anime girl horse racing gacha game "Umamusume: Pretty Derby" that shows a screenshot from the Ms. Victoria concert animation featuring Christmas Oguri Cap (as played by Arkem) as the winner of the Scorpio Cup pvp event.

Honestly, this is just me a bragging that I did well at a video game. I was even playing the "overpowered" character so it feels like stolen valor. Thus the linkedin joke in the main post.

Mech on a hexgrid! The hexes now have colour, texture, and outline. I even threw in some water! Now to move on to some proper map editing tools.

I picked up some Japanese BattleTech books and I love how they reinterpreted the reinterpretations of the classic ‘Mechs. This is Mercenary’s Star, by William Keith.

I showed my teacher the steam page for THK and she wanted me to tell you that the Kumamoto-ben looked perfect to her and that if you ever get the chance to do Japanese VO for it she'd want to submit an audition. So it looks like you might have a new fan!

Paul Chamberlain (Arkem) @arkem.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

I'll ask my teacher if she thinks Kumamoto-ben is appropriate for a foreigner like me. Could be that it's in fashion for foreigners to sound like they're from the inaka!

Hexus the robot is frolicking in their native habitat, the hexgrid. This is meant to be a tactics game but I couldn't miss the opportunity to drive the little guy around a bit.

A mech for the hexgrid from earlier! Asset Forge is pretty fun, easy to snap a bunch blocks together. While I'm not up to trying to rig and animate it I'm planning on splitting it in half so it can torso twist at least

A mech named "Hexus" made in Asset Forge, destined to march across the vast hexgrid from my last post.

Yeah I can imagine a protest vote appearing, a sort of contrarian reaction. Also, their vote system isn't very serious about integrity (and doesn't seem to show in progress results) so I'm guessing they've already decided but want to get some publicity.

As always, if you're thinking about hexagons and hex grids you should read the definitive work on the topic from Red Blob Games: www.redblobgames.com/grids/hexago...

I'm getting back into Godot and decided to draw some hexagons (because I've been in a BattleTech kind of mood). I may have grown too powerful! (2048x2048 hexagons drawn in 512x512 instanced mesh chunks)

I'm having surprisingly strong feelings about the Suica IC card new character vote. If seeing this image makes you feel a certain way, then you too can vote: www.jreast.co.jp/suica-new-ch... No, you can't vote for the current penguin, I checked.

The three candidate characters for the Suica JREast IC card design. I think they're meant to be a cat-squirrel, a bunny-alien, and a koala-man as depicted by an 18th century cryptozoologist.

Went and saw the quokkas for the first time in decades, they're still doing their thing over there. Good for them!
