Ari Grabb @garbcakes.bsky.social · 08/08/2026Imagine being on your death bed when the trailer for Mario Odyssey dropped. Maaaaaan, that would suck 020
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 · 04/08/2026you might be assuming his life span is average dog lengths, but I'm pretty sure he's considered a kind of eldritch being in some of the cannon, so he might actually be immortal- which is equally difficult to emotionally handle. 111
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. Love this experience! You are the dance of Shiva and Shakti: beautiful effulgent energy manifesting from void and returning to void! 180
Ari Grabb @garbcakes.bsky.social · 03/07/2026Real talk tho, the Minions movie went out of its way to freeze the minions in an ice cave so they wouldn't have to involve them in anything going in in Europe between the 1800s and late 20th century. Questionable who they would have served 110
Ari Grabb @garbcakes.bsky.social · 02/07/2026reliving my 10-year-old me frustrations trying to get the medals in star fox. F this man. Why make me do this menial task to play hard mode? Just give me hard mode! I already paid my dues over 20 years ago!! 020
Ari Grabb @garbcakes.bsky.social · 01/07/2026I-I never realized it. They were all green and purple! 010
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 · 24/06/2026well damn. All caught up on watamote. Must find a new manga now 000
Ari Grabb @garbcakes.bsky.social · 17/06/2026I go to 24/hr fitness and enjoy it. I think for what you are asking though, a trainer/gym buddy might matter more than the gym. One thing about 24/hr I like as opposed to a smaller/cheaper gym is the variety of machines. Helps me find workouts I actually enjoy, which is important. 010
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 · 13/06/2026Some roughs for my next Arachna Majika comic are up on the patreon www.patreon.com/arigrabb/pos... 010
Ari Grabb @garbcakes.bsky.social · 13/06/2026For what its worth, I sometimes have the opposite issue, where I'm totally trying to do a full on style copy, but I get my own stink all over it 110
Ari Grabb @garbcakes.bsky.social · 12/06/2026I dusted/washed all my figurines, and threw my plushies in the washing machine, and now they all look shiny and beautiful again! 020

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 · 03/06/2026Consider every once in awhile broadcasting over on twitter that you do way more cool shit on bluesky. Get them out of the Elon Matrix! 120
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 · 27/05/2026I find this oddly satisfying, and will pocket this for potential future problem solving 020
Ari Grabb @garbcakes.bsky.social · 25/05/202630 second bit!?!? That raises that ante quite a bit! 000
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 · 23/05/2026Still chipping away at this dance animation, but finally nearing the final renders 080
Ari Grabb @garbcakes.bsky.social · 22/05/2026The scorching knives of summer's misery burn yonder. Though my skin boils, my heart rejoices, for it is through defiance I find freedom. I will always wear layers and layers of black clothing. Hot Goth Summer, here I come 060
