I can sympathize, I turn my feelings to art often. But I can also advise that turning feelings into exercise is also valid and constructive. Works for me anyway... Punching a bag for a bit and going for a walk/run helps a lot I find

I'm not a smart man. But isn't that like.... Against international law? I could have sworn I had heard that somewhere. ( Not that that would stop this administration from doing all the crimes they can anyway )

I would be genuinely interested in your friends SparkNotes for certain games absorbing NONE of the cutscenes. Is MGS2 a brown haired man who inexplicably changes into a blonde twink who runs around an oil rig before fighting temu doctor octopus? Is kingdom hearts even MORE of a fever dream???

It sucks Adobe is unfortunately the industry standard and has to be used by most professionals, but I've abandoned it for clipstudio paint and I could not be happier, no AI horseshit and you can still export as PSDs, but I understand that's not an option for some people given their needs

I have watched maybe two episodes of TADC, I'll finish it someday, I think it's great, but that opinion doesn't matter. You and a bunch of great people made an art. THAT matters... Ignore the massive eltingville club that fandom spawns. Make art that makes you happy, simple as

One of the things I absolutely adore about that game is that travel is legitimately Dangerous and difficult. It made the world feel so much more alive and real to a younger me when I HAD to find traveling company to make it to the next town over, or pay an extortionate amount of gil to be ported.

I suppose that's true, ultra pro is a bit eughh, though to the Kickstarter's credit they try to hidr logos as much as possible. But noodle man could also try Inked gaming They support independent artists and have pretty decent products Inked Gaming share.google/1jhpR4Bu1T2O...

a left field suggestion, but a lot of magic the gathering artists sell their own art on playmats. Which are effectively mousepads. Mark poole's Kickstarter still has late pledges available Mark Poole Playmat Collection by Original Magic Art — Kickstarter share.google/MA35DiyHaZj4...

I feel like the silver lining here might be that he stops making avatar movies, which are the filmic equivalent of very shiny photorealistic boo-boo keys

Ralvik @ralvik.bsky.social · 10/12/2025

This is just a working theory and I'm probably just spouting babble but, I think it has something to do with people having a harder time becoming emotionally attached to the characters? the movies are fine but there's no standouts visually or narratively. No avatar "Darth Vader" or "Mario" ya know?

100% agree it is exhausting to interact with magic on a basic level these days if you have even a slight memory of "the before times" I can say that I put your ability to analyze media right up there with Jacob Geller or Dan Olson, this to say you could talk about anything and it would be lovely
