OOOOOOOH that's such a good way to lampshade old-school progression. Damn ✍️

Homaging the Twilight Zone but mashing it with Trick or Treating is 🤯 Not that good directors don't exist now but music videos used to be a playground for creative filmmaking, and then those folks would bring that style and expression to other media, and we've lost that youtu.be/pQB2mvUvROw

The editing is very simple and low budget but it's all concept and boarding. P&P has tons of shots and episodes that was some guy with MTV heat getting a crack at slightly longer form directing and they're still playing around because the studio system hadn't ground creativity into a paste yet.

Interiors came out good too. Whole thing is a notch smoother than I planned (I imagined a vintage, newsprinty finish) but this is the better call for the books' palettes.

Shipments are coming in (wanted to give myself an emergency buffer before Dec) I'm really really happy with the quality. They're gonna look so sharp on display.

Every time one a company proves it's rich enough to buy another company it is suddenly too poor to employee everyone at both companies

Anyway, here are 10 of my favorite covers in the last 6.8333 years. Jeremy kinda lets me riff however I want with a topic and has only given me notes twice. It always feels like I'm treating myself when I get to do one, and I hope my excitement for each game comes across.

I *think* Retronauts was my first podcast, and I must've started right when it started. I put it on during my first week of graphic design class. Nowadays every youtuber has some "THE ADJECTIVE NOUN OF ZELDA" essay but in the 2000's a lot of retro games were starting to find new life.

I rendered a lot of animations at excruciating speeds on my MSP back in the 2010's. Clients needed me on-site but didn't have a render farm or even just a spare desktop so I definitely had a lot of impromptu lunch breaks lol

I wrote the finale last year and it's been a real buttclencher finishing it this year cause I didn't write a backup ending. I just bet it all on the fact that we live in a bad reality. Anyway, new update tomorrow.

The bats flying out is maybe the first time I've seen one of these Lego art sets actually justify being Lego art and not just the original thing. But also look at that living room lol like guys this thing is being hung in a gamer dungeon

Sometimes around holidays I have intrusive thoughts about buying someone a gift that I objectively know they don't want. Like Homer's Bowling Ball but on purpose. Anyway this photo is pretty amazing she seems like exactly the target demo for this Lego set.

I feel like folks who browse dedicated sites (ie: not platforms) use RSS, which feels very Gen X but those are the ones who are most invested.

Have you noticed, lately, or noticed people around you commenting, that there just seems to be no money anymore. There's no money for companies to make the tv shows you like, the video games you like, the local diner you like shut down, no one you know can find a job. Think about that in context of

Oh yea I did the cover lol Coming up on 7 years contributing art (with occasional guest spots🫣). I still love the show as a fan. It's never felt like listening to guys sit around saying "Very Cool". It still gets me through commutes or workdays.

You should be asking why Rockstar gets to do this and doesn't run into any issues with payment processors, while the rest of anyone drawing or writing "explicit content" on any platform have so much trouble getting paid

Like all the 80's horror monsters were toys, so 90's kids horror was never gonna get me, then by my teens I was too jaded for anything to affect me.

I don't seek out "horror" unless I have someone to react with and it's usually just laughing. Probably explains spending three years making a horror comedy comic.

Horses was delisted from steam because two ragdoll characters could bump into each other naked and it was called "sex" and I think they could also ride each other around a little

He does very good JRPG videos! Definitely has a way of validating games even if they're kinda flawed. Perfect for if you don't wanna commit your life to, like, Xenosaga or something.
