God, grant me the courage to change the things I can and incredible new powers to change the things I can't.

After Donald Trump’s second election, I realised the insidious hold my phone had over my life. So I turned to something I’d loved in childhood to better occupy my attention

I still remember the press conference these two cartoon network guys gave about their own arrest on terrorism charges where they insisted on only talking about hair cuts, hair styling, and hair in general. lots of "I'm sorry but this question also isn't about hair"

People keep saying the codenames in Metal Gear Solid sound like Megaman X bosses, so I decided to give them actual designs. Matches the scale of my other X mockups. Something I've been sitting on for several years that I finally decided to wrap up tonight. #megaman #pixelart #ドット絵

Using a combination of glitches in Super Mario World, Yoshi can be taken into the final battle, where he can eat Peach upon Bowser's defeat. With Peach gone, the ending will not play, and Mario and Yoshi will simply stare at each other forever.

“Our talented team with its own human hands and brains and souls decided that all this shitty art made by a computer was good enough to go in our game” is not a good defense of using AI tools to generate assets.

Business Dummies who don’t understand the culture of the creative businesses they run are always going to make the wrong business calls, and they will swiftly be proven to be dummies when they are abandoned by the accrued audience, destroying the business. None of it’s new, But it is exhausting.

I think Kinda Funny becomes more impressive by the year. The way they’ve kept a crew together and grown and kept it independent is awesome. We had to sell the company to the very thing we were trying to escape. Different times and different options, but they’ve succeeded where we failed.

It looked like an optical illusion live, but the line drive to left yesterday that Alex Call “misplayed” into a 3-run triple legitimately changed directions mid-air. Was hooking to the left off the bat, then sliced to the right. That was one magic loogie.
