There's like a hundred more I could add without batting an eye. Earthbound, Castlevania 3, Lufia 2, Pipe Dream, Faxanadu, Breath of the Wild, Resident Evil 4, Minecraft, Breath of the Wild, Mario Odyssey, and on and on. Nine, impossible!

Second tier, because I don't feel complete without it.

I'll jump on the trend. I feel like this only barely touches on it.

Incidentally, if you buy it and you're an indie musician, you have commercial CC-sharealike rights to use the lyrics.

Chris Decaf @decafart.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

I kinda naively let myself get sucked into generating music to see how my lyrics would sound in context, but decided I would kick that bad habit and just release the lyrics with some photos as a poetry book instead of polluting the musical ecosystem with slop.

Remember: You can always read A Wizard of Earthsea instead. It's the original wizarding school book!

Anyway for me it was the rabid dog in this kids' book.

Chris Decaf @decafart.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

I feel like 25% of the reposts are Where the Red Fern Grows... am I the only one who was annoyed by this book rather than traumatized by it? I found it stifling and never really connected with the characters. Like I get WHY people were messed up by it but for whatever reason I was immune to it.

in the morning

A little mysterious creature in a cloak that obscures their face aside from two glowing yellow eyes holds a curved staff that resembles a fern. They stand on a grassy ridge waiting for something or someone, waiting for the sun, waiting for the moon, waiting forever.

How was your experience with a microwave kiln? Did it seem safe/reliable? i.e. it won't blow up the house or anything?

Chris Decaf @decafart.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

I think what sold me was learning that the character design was a nod to Miyamoto's love of puppetry. Like now I absolutely see little marionettes on display in the trailer.

That OOT remake is.... not doing it for me. Too uncanny valley. Why do their eyeballs all look so wet??

Chris Decaf @decafart.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

Right like I'm sincerely struggling to come to terms with the fact that this is historical! Like how did this all actually happen so dramatically and in real life??

Chris Decaf @decafart.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

I harvested clay from soil and fired the finished product in a BBQ. Leaned into collage art for the first time in my life. Kinda feels like I could do anything at this point.

Chris Decaf @decafart.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

This has been a huge year for me in terms of experimentation. I'm not really pushing myself to "make it" out there, just enjoying the process of making. I made my own oak gall ink this week. Carved a limestone statuette. Working on a fursuit for the kid. Acquired a pile of pen pals.

Chris Decaf @decafart.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

How's your suit coming? We're finally getting the fur on the head!

A little drawing to celebrate the joy of artist alley and the legendary bill money going all around the booths. Our wallet aren't much bigger but our heart are full 💜 (Thanks @sedeto.fr for helping me with the finishing touch on this drawing 🥰) #ArtistAlley #ArtistJoy

Colorful and cute artwork depicting little characters (they are all animal or creature inspired by japanese folklore) going all around a round of table from artists alley. They are all holding a single bill in their hand. The texte "circular money of artist alley" is wrote in the middle.

I was so inspired that I'm making a clean text copy of Jeanne Valois' scandalous memoirs about the diamond necklace! (the text file on both the Library of Congress and the Internet Archive are both garbled and unreadable)

@vgeportfolio.com I remember you gushing about Rose of Versailles a few years back and I finally got around to reading a few volumes and it ruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuules

OMG if this is your first time through, there are several upcoming scenes for which I am very excited for you to experience. Also if you end up falling in love with the game and doing a fanzine please let me know so I can contribute.

Chris Decaf @decafart.bsky.social · 26/08/2026

This idea is somehow helping me out a lot. Whenever I see lists of sales and deals on stuff I'd hypothetically like but don't need, I make a point to take a big sigh of relief and say "ah, thank god I don't have to do any of that shit".

I was visited by a friendly hatchet wasp who let me hold it for a bit before releasing it outside, so maybe your cat is there.

In Legend of Mana (1999), one of the regions you can visit is a junkyard full of broken toys full of trauma from a war they fought. Talking to them will give you haunting dialogue like this. The game hints at deeper lore about this that it never fully explains. The whole game is like this.

Yeah unfortunately the wood was kinda wonky because I wasn't up on my tool game and just hacksawed everything. I've been on my own weird lil crafting kick lately - I harvested clay from my backyard soil and made a Hylia statue, then kiln-fired it in my BBQ grill.

Did the mega-box of willow wood come in handy at all?

If you substitute your own words for whatever an algorithm thinks you should be writing instead, just go put your laptop in the toilet and then stick your head in after it.

They all bitch about gatekeeping - my friend, the only gate keeping you from doing good writing is your own idiocy and lack of vision.
