I've been starting on the bits of this animation I've been dreading, like having doors open and shut. This one gets kicked open and it's actually been fun getting a bit cartoony with the motion of it after working on making quite a muted environment.
Screenshot of Aseprite, the pixel art programme. The picture being edited is of a corner of a classroom. There is a metal and wood desk, windows and a dark blue door. The floor is a mid blue tone and the walls are a vague pastel. This is one of several frames in an animation sequence, tagged as "Main Door". The others are "Store" and "Store Kick Shut"Another frame of Aseprite animation in close-up, showing the blue door buckling and starting to come open as if struck with force.

Enjoyed my trip to Dublin, with the exception of the bit of the Irish emigration museum that said "some Irish people went abroad to do missionary work, and isn't that nice :)"

Brian Eno must get so sad going through an airport and hearing pop music playing in the shops. Did he toil for naught?

Oh hey, a character with the same last name as me got awards for coping really well as a kid and then kinda crashed out. Nope, don't have any feelings about this whatsoever.

AI detectors are unreliable at doing what they're advertised for, but would be great at finding Emily Dickinson poems

Did a redraft of a script to properly seed the themes throughout, then added a bunch more sad moments because I like torturing myself

I really hope there's no significant news today, or the brief moment of darkness later today will feel like a really clunky metaphor, and I'm tired of living through those.

I have just had the worst autism experience (having to do the washing up when the sink has become full of soggy mealworms) so now I'm having a much better one (listening to this show, which can be done without gloves, scourer and opening every window to get rid of The Smell)

This is just like the autism group chat at work, but with more cake. I should make some cake to apologise for the lack of cake.

Me normally: I can appreciate actors without getting all weird and parasocial about it Me when a new Criterion Closet video drops: I also like Samuel Fuller movies we are friends now

Spotted two familiar-ish faces in Manchester #nitw
Two pieces of graffiti on the corner of a building in Manchester UK: 1. A drawing of Mae and Gregg from Night In The Woods, captioned "Crimes". Gregg is a little off-model and looks more menacing than in the game. Mae is closer to the game's style but lacks her nightmare eyes. 2: the words "Nuke Possum Springs" with the final S trailing off in the same way as in the game.

Kind of fucked up that you can never high-five a horse, if you think about it.

Been a wobbly month but I've started the day with sausage, eggy bread and watching a Stewart Lee show and later I get to go to a Fishmonger. Everyone should get to go to a monger of some description, it makes any day better.

No better way to celebrate Friday night than making lasagne and watching National Theatre's Importance of Being Earnest.

There were a lot of old sci-fi novels in my house growing up, and I'd always wished I could explore the lavish, bizarre landscapes I saw on the covers. I think this might do the trick.

If this is anything like their last game, this is something that will linger in the mind long after the credits roll. If On A Winter's Night Four Travellers was a dark, ornately crafted treat. Can't wait for this one.

Made the mistake of trying to leave the house this weekend. I had to admit defeat and go home instead of going to the cinema. When it's too hot to sit in a dark room with a fan on, that's when you know it's bad.

there should be a consumer electronics review site called does it beep dot com and the sole criteria it uses to judge kitchen appliances, cars, washing machines, etc is whether it beeps at you and if so how annoying the beeps are

Had a great time at yesterday's Twin Peaks S1 marathon at Cultplex (@cpxmcr.bsky.social). Forgot how much I love Pete Martell with his daft little face

I have now encountered every Vessel in Slay The Princess and the small (and big) differences are delightful. I thought they would be a few broad types, but they occupy quite small spaces on various continuum of divinity/humanity, active/passive and so on.

This Christmas I got Slay The Princess and I am fascinated at how the initial limited choices branch out into this really complicated web. It's marvellous design.

I remember Gil on The Simpsons was heavily inspired by Glengarry Glen Ross, but until this rewatch I forgot Jack Lemmon guested as a desperate businessman. Man, could that guy play desperate, sweaty men.

This year's fancy advent calendar has arrived. 24 single origin coffees. My main gripe is the beans look like smiling, eyeless faces. They will haunt my dreams. Luckily, I'll be able to stay awake.
Part of a coffee advent calendar box. The box is brown with a mauve label. There are yellow ovals, some of which have Santa hats on. They resemble smiling, eyeless faces.

Submitted a pilot to an entry level screenwriting opportunity, realised once I submitted that I had forgot to update my CV properly so it's borderline incoherent

Reaching out to shake Paul Hollywood's hand, doing the "Too slow!" move, and then eating my entire three-tier cake before a producer can make us reshoot the scene.
