yea i know that feeling. i've tried daiya, violife and follow your heart, and i think follow your heart was the top one. daiya is okay on a sandwich, but their pizzas are pretty nasty

Farewell to my favorite cat, the best cat anyone could ask for, Widget (2009-2026). She had a fierce eyebrow but a gentle and loving soul, a lover of laps, and a good game of fetch the mouse. And boy did she meow! 200 times a day!! I’ll miss her so much.

i've still got these games to cover before the year is out: Posthumous Investigation, He Who Watches, Luna Abyss, Gecko Gods, Schrodinger's Cat Burglar, Esoteric Ebb, Rivage, Edicts of the Truthsinger, Mothership Down, Grime 2 i hope in October i can find the motivation to storm through those games

depression and ADHD can just kind of tag-team like that. executive dysfunction sucks. especially when it's blocking me from doing fun shit!! i guess i'm glad i didn't take on too many new review obligations over the last several months. because after Review'em'up #3 it'll take me a while to do #4

Matt J. Wilson @mattwilsoncss.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

i have gotten work done on BSR #5 the last few days so that's good. but in terms of playing games my motivation's been at an all time low. maybe that'll change when I finish BSR5. i dunno. i am concerned that i'll never be able to regain my old work ethic (which would be fine in any OTHER economy!)

i know the feeling tho because i haven't put out a new album in 12 years

Matt J. Wilson @mattwilsoncss.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

if streetlight manages to get this album out they'll finally have released more new music since 2013 than slow gherkin, a band that broke up in 2002

a lot of french, italian & argentinian films also never get US distribution. drives me up a wall. i'll see a cool looking poster and the letterboxd reviews are like "this was the 5th film in the Bavarian Animated Film Festival and it's incredible". COOL I GUESS!!!! i'll never get to see it though!

010

Matt J. Wilson @mattwilsoncss.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

a continuous thorn in my side is the inaccessibility of so many films. why do so many premiere at a festival and then never go to streaming? I understand festivals' insanely stupid exclusivity requirements, but surely that's a time window! at least put it on itchio or SOMETHING

(no i do not consider Toy Story 5, Mario, or Minions to be interesting)

Matt J. Wilson @mattwilsoncss.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

huh, there's kind of a bizarre lack of animated films this year, isn't there? it's not that there's none, but like, even internationally, there's not a lot. AIFF's selections are almost everything interesting that exists. and then there's "Steps" on Netflix? and Hexed? pretty boring year, huh.

This week I’ll work on BSR #5 and next week I’ll get Review’Em’Up 3 out the door. But after that, all I know is I’ll work on a Puzzle Hunters project. I’m not sure what the next main channel video will be.

Matt J. Wilson @mattwilsoncss.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

I think 1.0 releases do show up on Steam’s recommendation calendar, at least

Queer anime is out there enough at this point that pinning too much of your identity on one ongoing show doesn’t make a lot of sense. There’s like 50 new anime overall every season, there’ll be something that hits you inevitably (and it probably already exists)

Seems like I averted health catastrophe today so hooray. after a few days off i'll be back to finish Bonus Stage Remastered #5 and Review'em'up #3!

Matt J. Wilson @mattwilsoncss.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

Awesome, congrats and you’re part of a cool network (I’m a fan of Time Extension as well)

Matt J. Wilson @mattwilsoncss.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

the WIP of Bonus Stage Remastered #5 is up on the Patreon! see you in 10-14ish days?

0100

Matt J. Wilson @mattwilsoncss.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

well after this morning's near catastrophe i can now say that there will def be a Patreon upload tomorrow night (maybe late night?). of course i'm not out of the catastrophe forest yet, but i won't elaborate until after tuesday. at least on the cartoon front, things are going well.

Matt J. Wilson @mattwilsoncss.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

naturally as soon as i recovered it, i saved again, JUST TO MAKE SURE. i will use a cattle brand to burn this file permanently into the hard drive if i have to

Matt J. Wilson @mattwilsoncss.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

this can only be divine intervention, to tell me to keep working on this stupid remaster

Matt J. Wilson @mattwilsoncss.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

this can only be divine intervention, to tell me to stop working on this stupid remaster and just make new cartoons

Bonus Stage Remastered #5 is cancelled until further notice, unless I can find some way to recover the file.

i literally just lost a week of animation progress for no reason

Matt J. Wilson @mattwilsoncss.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

i wake up. i open animate. my file has reverted to a week ago with no explanation. i saved the file last night

Matt J. Wilson @mattwilsoncss.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

The BGs are all in. Are they all finished? No, but they’re in. Custom mouth loops tomorrow, then I’ll do animation here/there on Saturday before posting the WIP to Patreon

Matt J. Wilson @mattwilsoncss.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

the physint news doesnt even faze me, the AAA world feels like another dimension i'm not in. i'm over here thinking about Well Dweller instead. wondering if Emery Hearts will be a sleeper hit. hoping I can get my hands on Sprawl Zero. eyeing all the stuff coming to the SAGE expo

0121

Matt J. Wilson @mattwilsoncss.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

i'm at the background drawing stage for BSR #5 and everyone knows how rushed and shitty my backgrounds are, so you know that means I'm close to a WIP render! maybe Saturday night?

Matt J. Wilson @mattwilsoncss.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

My expectation for Twilight Princess, Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks is that they’ll all drop on NSO throughout 2027. Nintendo celebrates anniversaries the full year round, and I believe dataminers saw Wii and DS entries in NSO. Those are probably gonna be Summer 2027 announcements (guessing)

Matt J. Wilson @mattwilsoncss.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

The nice thing is that the recomp exists so people can just play the original in HD and 60fps if they want. Meanwhile I’ll probably just focus on other Zeldalikes like Mina. Unless reviews say the dungeons are revised.

040

Matt J. Wilson @mattwilsoncss.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

I always considered OOT to be kind of mid, it was never my favorite 3d Zelda for various reasons. A couple seem to have been addressed in the remake, but if the dungeon design is the same then that’ll remain its biggest weakness. But having a better frame rate and tighter control does matter to me.

130

Matt J. Wilson @mattwilsoncss.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

My hot take? The OOT remake looks pretty cool. “Hire this man” is an overused phrase. There’s clear intentionality here, and I think they’ve made gorgeous, grand spaces out of what were humble locations in the original, highly compromised from woeful tech. Link looks fine, Zelda looked a little odd.

1161

Matt J. Wilson @mattwilsoncss.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

It’s pretty cool, it makes me think of late Xbox-PS2 shooters but with added verticality from the lite-parkour

001

Matt J. Wilson @mattwilsoncss.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

As a reminder the new Puzzle Hunters will have the new cooler designs, but the animation will be pared back. I’m not intentionally making bad animation or w/e. Well maybe I will be, idk. I mostly want to see if the most time consuming aspects of animation really matter on YouTube or if I can cut ‘em
