October means I draw cartoons like this 🎃

Cartoon of a black cat with a jack'o' lantern for a head standing in front of a blue star spattered night sky. The carving is of a cat's face..On either side are black trunks with bare branches holding the remnants of leaves. The full moon is in the sky to the top right, behind a branch. A group of bats flies near the moon.

I'm so fucking sorry what the hell

Mike Green @greenmac.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

Yep, it's neat as hell, especially when looking at where other big fantasy games go with their stories

Mike Green @greenmac.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

Good is subjective, obviously, but the Capcom games I think most fondly of story-wise are Dragon's Dogma, Ace Attorney, Breath of Fire, Ghost Trick, and Okami I will say I don't feel any of those go above "good," so I think your point largely stands even for me, lol

The fun part of following people with different tastes than mine is now I am immediately more interested than I was lol

Ah, damn it. It was a killer concept; hopefully someone will see the opportunity, file the serial numbers off, and make a slop-free clone.

Mike Green @greenmac.bsky.social · 28/08/2026

Gotcha; went to look at the releases myself and it's kind of a fascinating exercise. Games are weird.

Mike Green @greenmac.bsky.social · 28/08/2026

No shade, but I'm genuinely curious if you earnestly believed there weren't any good games on the PS2 at the time, or if that was just a required pc gaming mag "war against the consoles" attitude, lol. Fantastic time capsule either way.

Alas, this is my experience as well

I swear having to question whether every missive is LLM slop is going to drive me up a fucking wall, through the ceiling, and howling up into the nameless void.

Looking that up made me profoundly sad. Damn.

I already had it on my wishlist, apparently. Looks rad.

if you see this, post your marine-themed art 🦀

No nephilim but they have "grundle" lol

A screenshot from the results screen of the game Outlier saying:

"Sharpshooter Rarest find: GRUNDLE (Rarity 66)

worth 88 points

Only 32 players have ever found it in all of Outlier.

i feel like a good metaphor for this would be a hot new chef having a meal laid out when their investors arrive (they actually ordered take out) so they get huge investment and on the restaurants opening night their kitchen staff immediately realizes the chef dosent know how to even turn on the oven

1. Newer writers, just don't fucking use "AI" for anything, ever 2. How odd that being an established writer with a firm "no 'AI'" stance and ample pre-"AI" IP will become a definite competitive advantage over "new, hot, and possibly copyright compromised" deadline.com/2026/07/ai-q...

Look at this awful/cool ant illustration I made for a fun little horror project. God I love making things

Black and white illustration of a strange ant with a corkscrew mandible and a strange, wisp-like tongue.

Text below the ant reads "Fig. 1. — Secordia Veritas (The Ant of Truth)

Predator when I was . . . 5, 6? I was reading Stephen King by 9, my parents just kind of let me figure out what was too much for me, lol

I completely missed this was a thing. By the creator of Burn Notice? Amy Acker? Know how I'm spending the weekend, thanks lol

Uh, my incredibly tiny town had a youth center when I was a kid. . . which is now closed. Maybe just admit you don't have a full picture and that yes, depending on location such things DID exist. Or continue to main character your way through it, whatever

My 80 year old country doctor was taking a sample when I was 8; he promptly dropped the vial, accidentally stepped on it, and almost slipped on blood and broken glass. (He was so beloved we put a clock dedicated to him in the town square; I was convinced I almost murdered the town hero lol)

Mike Green @greenmac.bsky.social · 09/07/2026

Yep, after the first boss I realized the best way to solve the car combat problem of shooting while also avoiding enemies was to just treat it like a pirate ship and side mount everything lol

God I love that game. The atmosphere! The systems! Ashley's pants situation! The fact his name is Ashley Riot! Iconic.

That's a pitch laser targeted at my heart. Fantastic.

Mike Green @greenmac.bsky.social · 05/07/2026

I respect this opinion. It's about . . . 8th on the list I just made in my head? (The U.S. release of King's Field II on the PlayStation is 7th and Elden Ring is #1, for reference, lol)

Mike Green @greenmac.bsky.social · 02/07/2026

Hunter X Hunter isn't really a deliberate deconstruction of this kind of Shonen . . . but it very much is playing with the form and expectations in a way that makes it my absolute favorite one of those of all time. It goes places, lol

Mike Green @greenmac.bsky.social · 01/07/2026

Great book! It's an adaptation and expansion of an SCP Foundation story, so the roots are from one of Control's primary influences.

Mike Green @greenmac.bsky.social · 30/06/2026

Great list! Tremors is so well made it might be the one here I admire the most, heh

Really enjoyed this arc so far but this is perfect; I actually said aloud "oh fuck, is that . . .!?" Amazing work 👍

Once upon a time I was trying to teach myself to paint digitally; I'm more comfortable with cartooning but this was fun to do even if I see soooooooo many flaws; luckily the point is in making the thing, not in the thing being "good."

A digital painting of a girl's face; it's in a bluish grayscale, the right side of her face is in heavy shadow, the let is lit. She has ong hair. On the left she has some messy strands of hair.

He's helping (God I love drawing dumb shit)

A cartoon of a tabby cat flinging himself into a pyramid of soda cans in order to intercept a tennis ball.

The cans are on a round wooden table

The tennis ball is weirdly realistic looking because I added it last and got too much into making it look cool rather than match the rest of the drawing, lol

The wall behind the cans is striped in pink and red

The cans are jokey versions of real sodas: "Cock" (with an image of a little chicken) "Pixie," "Mrs. Salt," and "Bepis." Very dumb

Mike Green @greenmac.bsky.social · 05/06/2026

Incredibly frustrated by people who just don't ask me when they need something. I will do my best to anticipate needs, but for fuck's sake I'm really not a mind reader, lol

Climbed up on my roof to clear a bunch of pine litter and moss, found some creature had buried a cache of . . . flower bulbs, I think? Glad they didn't start growing up there, lol

I never understood those things; unless their patio is the size of a football field, it's a matter of minutes to get that raked or brushed clear.

There are deaths in JJK that I think might come off as unfair to him, given the response to One Piece. Do you think he would like something more slice of life or would that be too dull? Space Brothers has 99 episodes, and it's pretty charming as I recall.

Yuuuuuup. If they show you they're jerks when they are on what is (presumably) their best behavior, one shudders to think how they act in private.
