I am always amazed at how many of them went/ go to college in the States!

Posted elsewhere in May 2020: "This idea that 2A will protect us from the brutality of an out of control government is a joke. I promise you that, instead, an out of control government will use 2A to crowdsource its brutality."

The Lopatin score is insanely good.

Demon Hunt on Steam Battle through demon-infested lands in this fast-paced rogue-lite bullet-heaven. Pick unique weapons with powerful evolutions, and hunt down ancient demons in intense boss fights. Loot, upgrade, and u...

friends! please. when a new bullet hell ('heaven'? WTF) rougelike comes out someone needs to tell me. I could have been playing Demon Hunt for like 6 months instead of 2 days.

Shoot this type of shit straight into my veins. Just seeing how other people tackled workflows and what was prioritized. Then inferring what specific things they were solving for.

I love making games.

Portfolio day! Canadian concept and visdev artist since 2008 - worked on a lot of Assassin's Creed games, Marvel MCU stuff, MTG, some movies/tv, other things. Currently freelancing for Ninja Theory and teaching.

So excited for you folks.

Oh wow. This is very big news

This cover and a handful of bill sienkiewicz comics were seminal in making teenage me want to do art for a living.

Here's your new mayor, Seattle.

We make games for my mom's holiday party every year. I tend to make "board games". This year's game is ADVENTAGEOUS, it's a roll and write playable by any number of people. It's meant to play VERY quickly (<10 minutes). I have NOT tested this yet lol, as per tradition. Rules in reply!

For the evening crowd.

Birthing, by SWANS 7 track album

and to round it off.
New Swans albums always bring exciting, and this one doesnt miss. 1 song under 10:00, 0 songs not emotionally draining. what I have to assume is an on purpose tribute to Heroes by Bowie. It should be way higher on the list, but its exhausting.

Scales, by EMIKA from the album Frames

And more weird, baroque but accessible electronic pop from Emika. Linking directly too scales, but the whole album is just as good. I just get goosebumps every time this one comes on. for people who think machinegun is the best Portishead song.

From Black Sheep To Icon, by Boy Deluxe 5 track album

came to this album a bit late, but it went straight into my veins. Like sextile, just making sick af dance music.

Knife The Ally, by PAUL ION BARKER 8 track album

speaking of old things that are still cool as shit. What Ministry would sound like if it was just Paul the whole time. which would have been sweet, and luckily for you he is still making music and it is. sweet.

yes, please., by Sextile 13 track album

much like the return of nu metal, i am totally down with the return of electroclash, or whatever the fuck this shit was called in the early 00s. regardless sextile (and later entry Boy Deluxe) are fucking killing it if you need to bop your head.

Quantum Dubs, by Frenk Dublin 8 track album

I will listen to anything put out by the incredible dub label Moonshine Records, at least once, usually more. And apparently with this one, A LOT MORE. super deep ambient dub

Michelangelo Dying, by Cate Le Bon 10 track album

did you ever wonder what the Cocteau Twins would sound like if they just kept making Victorialand? no? just me? and maybe also Cate Le Bon.

CONFLICT DLC, by HEALTH 12 track album

there is a pattern to my top albums I guess. all have a lot of weight to them. Another one that came out this month but has been on constant rotation (in between plays of Implosion)

youwillloveeachother.bandcamp.com/album/confli...

Implosion, by The Bug vs Ghost Dubs 16 track album

And a close second even though it came out 2 months ago. Was excited for this and it didn't disappoint. More grind, but this time of the post apocalyptic dub version. Also go follow @bugpressure.bsky.social just getting daily album recs is worth it.

Nocturnal Birding, by Author & Punisher 8 track album

Easily my most played. I fucking love this album. Author & Punisher is so underappreciated for what he does. Industrial grindcore? Who the fuck cares, its heavy and sick as fuck.
authorandpunisher.bandcamp.com/album/noctur...

Nocturnal Birding - Author & Punisher
Implosion - Ghost Dubs vs. The Bug
CONFLICT DLC - HEALTH
Michelangelo Dying - Cate Le Bon
Frenk Dublin - Quantum Dubz
yes, please - sextile
Knife the Ally - Lead Into Gold
FROM BLACK SHEEP TO ICON - Boy Deluxe
Frames - Emika
Birthing - Swans

if I dont do this today, I will once again forget. My 10 most played albums this year. in general order of amount played.

(Thread with Bandcamp links)

whoa. the pang of nostalgia that hit me when this image popped up on my feed. I remember walking into Kilstrom's office very early in my lith career (first week?) and being just blown away with what he was doing.

Gotta post the 4chan meme, sorry:

Merry Christmas to all, especially Sexy Shelob
