The time is nearly perfect for a movie about the famously chaotic and dramatic 1976 production of Star Wars, starring Ewan McGregor as Alec Guinness and Hayden Christiansen as David Prowse.

nero's guide is awesome, and concretely helped me with making a website as somebody who doesn't have the brain for this stuff 👍 if you're an artist of any sort, making a website for yourself is one of those things that hugely pays off the extended effort time and again

How I’ve Been Pronouncing It (Feat. Foghorn Leghorn, my… roommate?)
Comic. I’m at my desk, leaning over to the doorway, saying “Hey! Foghorn! Foghorn Leghorn! Get in here!”
Foghorn Leghorn is walking past the doorway, “Boy, I tell ya, I tell ya, not so loud, boy. What, I say, I say, what d’ya want?”
Next panel, I’m gesturing to my computer. “How do I find that really good manga you recommended? It’s an anime now? I keep getting Halloween costumes.” Foghorn leans over my chair, “well, boy, I say, I say, you ain’t typin the entire title.”
Last panel, I turn around- “you said ‘witch hat.’ Foghorn gets in my face- “open your ears, boy!! ‘Witch Hat Atelier, I tell ya! I tell ya ‘Atelier,’ I tell ya’”

Being a cartoonist sometimes implies taking time off your graphic novel just so you can draw something else for once. Retro sci-fi/cassette futurism, especially of the anime kind, is very nostalgic to me.
An illustration all in purples and yellows. A woman in mechanic attire is sitting inside a capsule-style bedroom, lit by the sun through a small window. She's having dumplings. The setting is retro sci-fi or cassette futurism, with lots of pipes and analog screens decorating the surroundings. The illustration is very cluttered visually.

It’s very simple and it’s been said over and over but I guess it needs saying continuously: if you deem one group too small to have equal rights you are enabling fascism, not fighting it. The people saying Dems are GREAT on trans rights are not paying attention and/or saying stuff like this.

The Democrats defend the Kennedy Center but not trans people.

@treewarrior.bsky....
maybe because defending everything about a super small minority of the population is not worth losing to fascists

I drew a comic strip.
a comic strip. The first panel shows a goblin in a long coat approaching a guard. The second panel has the goblin saying "we're just normal men!". The third panel has the guard replying "what do you mean normal men?". The fourth panel shows both the goblin in the coat and the guard. The coat is beginning to open to show many goblins within. The guard looks suspicious and a goblin emerging from the coat is saying "We're just innocent men!"

I've been wanting to blog more, so here: a short(ish), off-the-cuff ramble about wolverine, guidance in games, and the void of conscious thought: auratriolo.com/blog/2026/09...
Guidance is a form of communication.

[Achievement from UNBEATABLE: "OHHH I GET IT. THEY ALL HAVE MUSIC NAMES - when you explain an idea, the idea fundamentally changes."]

And communication changes the player’s thought processes in more ways than merely the information being given. Guidance tells the player what to think about and what not to. It establishes safe, “brain-free” spaces. That can be useful! Especially in an overwhelming game. But it can also quietly smother thoughts that might have sprung up in its absence.

I think I'm gonna give CrossCode another shot. It's been in my backlog for a long while and I've tried to go at it a couple times in the past, but I always fell off for one reason or another. Maybe this time I'll make it through

If you have a Switch, you owe it to yourself to play Severed by @drinkboxstudios.com. It's been in my backlog ever since the Vita and I finally finished it and it is fantastic. Metroidvania + Zelda dungeons + Revengeance is a tricky thing to pull off, but it makes a hell of a 7 hour ride. Superb

the more I make games the more I'm convinced that the simplest way to lock in a direction for your game is to answer the thematic question of "what is your game trying to say?" as early as possible and then use the answer as a grounding point for EVERYTHING. it makes direction so much easier.

If video games wanna get rid of the term "metroidvania" we also gotta toss "rougelike", "soulslike", and "soulsborne" Not that I'm necessarily in fabour of tossing any, but people seem to get weirdly fixated on metroidvania specifically

Finally done with Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition; both the main game and the Extra Story Future Connected are complete to my level of satisfaction. 172+ hours total compared to the 500+ I put into XC2, so clearly XC1 didn't hit me as hard, but overall I enjoyed my time with XC1: DE

I say this as a joke but honestly if, when playing a video game, you can lose and: - not get frustrated or annoyed - think about what happened and examine the elements in play - reconsider your choices regularly then you'll be well on your way to overcoming a lot of difficult gaming challenges

Not exactly the same thing, but it reminds me of the fake brands in fiction that are intentional knock-offs of real-world brands to make the fictional world seem more real. One of my faves is Cowboy Bebop's "Pippu" soda (knock-off of Pepsi)
An image of a shot from the TV fiction anime show "Cowboy Bebop". The shot shows a hand typing at a computer keyboard on a desk with a can of soda sitting nearby on the desk; the soda can is closer to the camera. The soda can has the brand "Pippu" along the side of it, but the colouring and logo make it apparent to the audience that it is supposed to be a kock-off of the real-world "Pepsi" brand and logo.

Hit the end credits of Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition. Compared to the last time I went through this game (the original Wii version), I've definitely come to appreciate it more. XC2 still resonates more with me, though. In fact, I think the context of XC2 increased my appreciation of XC1
