Ari Grabb @garbcakes.bsky.social · 08/08/2026Sometimes I get genuine existential dread when I consider if they will keep making Mario games after I die. 170
Ari Grabb @garbcakes.bsky.social · 20/07/2026Honestly, I'd rather just have cooler alternative costumes and skins for the existing characters. Or I dunno, Pigma from starfox. Put Pigma in the game! 000
Ari Grabb @garbcakes.bsky.social · 08/07/2026Had caffeine for the first time in 4 days, and just wanted to say life is beautiful. You are a beautiful. Everything is a goddam miracle. Love each other.

Ari Grabb @garbcakes.bsky.social · 30/06/2026I hate to turn social media engagement into a call to action but: All of the AI art I see on instagram gets me very discouraged. Anytime anyone says anything nice about my art, it's very motivating. Thank you. Let artists know what they're doing matters to you. 160

Ari Grabb @garbcakes.bsky.social · 16/06/2026Many artists complain of an inner critic in their heads while they draw, but I have an inner @aaronlong.bsky.social in my brain sayin stuff like "stop making that so clean! Thats not indie, thats studio-system brain rot! The drawing is good, move on! No dont shade it"! I respect my inner Aaron 1396

Ari Grabb @garbcakes.bsky.social · 05/06/2026Saw TADC Last act (no spoilers) last night and loved it. Shockingly earnest, and raw. Like a pixar film that actually really gives a fuck, and dosnt hide it's ugly with irony and jokes. Theres a lot of criticism of what "indie" animation even is, but there is a lot to be celebrated here for sure 091
Ari Grabb @garbcakes.bsky.social · 29/05/2026This is good news, and I hope the animation community will show Jorge grace. Redemption is a rare thing in this day and age. I think if we want more people to stray away from using AI, we have to be a community that won't 'damn' them, eternally. 2110
Ari Grabb @garbcakes.bsky.social · 25/05/2026Does anyone else loop one song for the entire day, or is that just me and my wife? Genuinely asking. Some people call me crazy for it, but I'm convinced its more common 110

Ari Grabb @garbcakes.bsky.social · 20/05/2026Every remix of Techno Syndrome (Mortal Kombat theme) is blasphemous, as it implies there is something to improve upon the original Techno Syndrome.

Ari Grabb @garbcakes.bsky.social · 17/05/2026I really dig Game-o-verse. Incredibly delightful art style, funny jokes, chilling stakes. I think most of all, I'm impressed by how well it functions as a pilot. I really sense by the end that I 'know' what the show is. That is something I always find challening in my own writing. Very impressed. 020

Ari Grabb @garbcakes.bsky.social · 12/05/2026As a retake animator, most of my gigs are around 4 months long- sometimes longer, sometimes shorter. 'IF' the show gets picked up for another season, I usually wont be back on the production until about a year in, so I need to find work elsewhere until I'm MAYBE called back. Very unstable model. 071

Ari Grabb @garbcakes.bsky.social · 22/04/2026Having complicated thoughts about the new Mario movie, further complicated by the knowledge that the internet dosnt need another 30 or 40 year old man giving his opinion about a video game movie. 120
