penguin colony is an adaption of 'at the mountains of madness' that doesn't shy away from the racism at the heart of lovecraft's work. i had such a generous chat with developer tali faulkner about the game's intentionality and direction. @origamedigital.bsky.social @fellowtraveller.games

Erika Ishii's inclusion is not a "controversial announcement". This is elevating weird gamergaters' boring whining as deserving of attention. There's no "sides" to this, there's no "issue": It's a talented performer who's done nothing wrong being hated for who they are.

In the uk you have the kind of game studio CEO who say crunch is needed while doing layoffs regularly and others saying “long term job security is a romantic idea you need to drop” they keep being allowed to talk publicly like it’s a good idea.

I find this stuff fascinating; this is basically the animation world's equivalent of how pixel art games were designed to be played on glass tube TVs. The "imperfections" created in the process of publishing the work are part of the planned end product.

I went to a stationery store the other day & grabbed my first Leuchtturm1917 notebook! Here is my inaugural merm drawing for it. The paper smells different; it is also thinner and a lot more translucent than my usual, but it still felt pleasant under my nib! #fountainpen #sketch #art #mermaid

Picture of a little sketchbook next to a little pen, held open by the artist's left hand. The first page depicts a dappled merperson with long flowy hair gently reaching towards a small fish. The pen's colour seems to match the ink very well, in a hue that is hard to define, sitting somewhere between blue, grey and green.
The artist is pleased to report the stationery store had many other beautiful notebooks, and even snagged a lovely teal one with geometric lines forming a starry pattern. That one will be used for journaling!
