What a banger episode! Who knew a trained voice actor would be nice to listen to?? Makes me want to try making a small game with voice acting at some point. So inspiring!

It's my birthday! 🤗 As per tradition, I'm humbly asking for some reposts of this or any other of my art today ❤️

Stylised bust paintings of characters from Severance. Irving is on the left looking thoughtfully to the viewer's left and wears his work attire: pale blue shirt, navy tie and vest.

At the top Mark S is looking towards the viewer with a confused frown, mouth slightly open. He's wearing a navy blue suit and tie with a white shirt.

On the right is Helly R, mouth slightly open, eyes wide and posture stunned as she looks to the viewer's left. She has a blue green dress on.

Dylan is at the bottom, brow scrunched and mouth open in confusion. He's wearing a dress shirt and jacket.

Painterly portrait of a young androgynous Kender looking tired and lost in thought. They have a scrappy brown pixie cut, fair skin and bright, icy blue eyes ringed with dark circles. A scar marks their right cheek, and part of the ear on that side is missing. Their clothing is simple and practical: dark leathers and a forest-green cloak. They wear a gold button as a pendant.

Stylised painting of Peter Falk as Columbo. He's in his mac and holding his trademark cigar. He looks go the viewer with a twinkle in his eye and knowing smile

I had a lot of perceptions of what a point and click adventure game was heading into The Drifter. The game smashed those perceptions in many awesome ways. The game only let me down when it stuck too hard to the usual genre format. My review. bignerdgaming.com/2025/09/23/t...

Oh yea, The Drifter’s got the juice. If you love sci-fi thrillers, point and click adventures, or anything remotely film noiry GET THIS GAME. 🔥

A screenshot from the pixel art video game The Drifter with the main character, Mick Carter, standing in the middle of the frame between a parked, orange car and a billboard that reads, “Ride the Mad Mouse $5 20 minutes ahead”. It’s late at night with warm light pouring in from the left hand side.
