Off to GenCon! Might pick up some new Warhammer figs for my grey pile of shame.

If you see me, say hi!

After SDCC, which was great, I'm getting back into the groove of things! I've still got a bit of room in my schedule if you'd like to work with an experienced comics writer/editor!

Navigating the comics solicitations is tough these days. I’ve combed through the October offerings to find a few graphic novel recommendations you might have otherwise missed.

Made some collections and prints of my work to give out at #SDCC this year since I have been asked at the last 2 or 3 cons where people can see my work.

Look out editors, my portfolios are saddlestitched.

Including mine! See?

Someone who's agenda is Help People, rather than serving lobbyists, national interests (see capitalism and imperialism), is a MASSIVE problem to the established order of things.

Truly an anti-establishment hero. I think that's where the punk rock statement rings true. His love is protest.

It also shows a hypocrisy with people concerned with doing The Right Thing the Right Way.

Superman being above government and above politics, an Agent of Morality, is why he is scary to the Pentagon and Luthor and others. He is in direct opposition to them by virtue of his entire ethos.

This was a VERY good display of her hypocrisy without condemning her character as a Bad Person.

Lois the Journalist knows how to play the game and what matters to Governments.

Lois the Person sees the idiocy in that, and her inner conflict between professionalism and personal care is HEAVY.

SUPERMAN MOVIE SPOILERS:

I thought it incredibly slick that Lois riled up Clark during the interview with beurocracy, and his stance was Lives Were at Stake.

I thought it even better that when it mattered to HER (i.e. Clark's trouble) she encounter beurocracy and was just as incredulous.

This is a very niche rant about Game Development QA that many of you will not get but this is my feed so bear with me.

WHY DID JIRA CHANGE THE "OPEN" STATUS TO "NOT STARTED?!" WHO IS THAT FOR?! HOW IS THIS A BETTER STATUS?!

All of my filters, databases, and dashboards are fucked now.

Loved working on this with @schiekapedia.bsky.social . He knocked this one out of the park.

Finished Costume Quest for the first time.

Double Fine games continue to be the most delightful, witty, and charming escape in gaming for me.

More edits on the novel done, and now shifting to work on some printed material for SDCC this year. Making a surprise appearance there due to some luck and a very generous sister.

Was finally able to afford getting this lettered. @dchopkins.bsky.social knocked this out of the park with @zackfinfrock.bsky.social 's awesome art.

I have never laughed out loud at a comic the way I did while reading this. And neither have I felt so moved by friendship and love in a comic as I have with this one.

The art is fantastic, the writing is snappy, it's incredible.

Nothing says Game Development like a coworker joking about firing the QA department so that we stop having tickets put in so that the team gets to 0 bugs faster.

While I'm on the call.

The game just makes me feel stupid.

And I am not a fan of its "You have to die constantly to learn how to beat a boss so that when you've died enough times you can finally beat it."

I do not feel a sense of accomplished euphoria. I feel relieved I never have to do that again.
