For the past several weekends, I’ve been picking away at a project to build my kiddo the Halloween costume he wants more than anything. (Cloak not shown here, needs a little trimming)

Okay, here’s the thing. It could taste SO so much worse. But it’s not “good”. Tastes like Bailey’s and Cookie Crisp, mixed with regret.

A brand new Taco Bell opened up DANGEROUSLY close to the office. I may have stopped by for lunch, was told I was one of the first 100 customers, and was given this cookie. Please clap.

This is a special edition one-of-a-kind Taco Bell VIP cookie. It entitles the bearer to a lifetime of Living Mas, and Blasting Bahas.

Really excited to finally release FPOM! 🥳 It's a Parallax Occlusion Mapping shader I made with the goal of having an alternative for Nanite Displacement that looks good for a fraction of the cost. Works with Landscape, Mesh Terrain, Meshes, Decals etc. fab.com/listings/f56... #gamedev

Grateful to be home after nine long days of mandatory wildfire evacuation, and yet heartbroken for all the friends & neighbors who were less fortunate. Would not recommend. 0/5 stars.

Plus a couple pieces of DRAMATIC MYST ART which, let's be honest, was the whole reason I joined @cyan.com in the first place. Gotta draw me some spooky Linking Books:

Bad times in Spokane right now (photos from yesterday). My family has thus far been fortunate, but far too many neighbors have not. Send positive vibes plz.

Getting to design characters for a murder mystery visual novel set in the Myst/D'ni universe was such a blast, I hope this also sees the light of day someday:
