Three decades ago, DJ Shadow asked "what does your soul look like?" It's taken ages to figure out how to answer, but I might finally be onto something. I'm not sure if @stellarmantis.bsky.social torments me on purpose, but those gorgeous #gamedev clips make me plunge into sinister realms like this.

The disorientative quality is somewhat accidental, but I'm weirdly proud of this sinister puke even before anyone else has heard what goes on or agreed to be involved. I think Eliza might be bulimic.

Random post but I just got a ton more free time to work on development... 😁 Switched my day job to 3 nights. And I had the revolutionary idea of putting my PC monitor at a higher level than my keyboard, who else was craning their neck down awkwardly for 20 years without ever thinking of it?

I think so too! Thanks so much for the excellent work, it inspires the graphics and the graphics inspire the music. It's a very nice feedback loop.

An ornate cathedral against a purple sky, retro pixel art style. There are spires and perched owl statues and angels hold an anchor at the foot of a bound saint.
