Tomo Aries @ Waitlist Open ✨🤍

There's a tense scene in RE9 where Leon looks Grace right in the eyes and calmly says "Listen to me - we're gonna be ok." and I have never felt so safe in my life

Undercharging has been excellent marketing to get my start, but I'm physically, mentally, spiritually far beyond it now, especially after a few key moments that really brought me to my knees last year.

Again, please be patient, I'm sorry I've taken so long and I'm sorry I'm not 100% recovered yet.

So please be patient with me going forward, because I am going to be working very slowly and very limitedly with a very very very short fuse.

I'm going to experiment with raising my price on my more complicated work to look closer to what I'm actually worth.

I feel no joy for the remaining comms I have to finish when I get back from my vacation, save for maybe one or two. Maybe while I'm working on them again I will.

But at the moment, I'm running on empty. I'm trying to find something else to do so I don't ruin music for myself forever.

I was okay from 2022-2024 doing things at my price because my joy for music was back. Whatever joy I had for making music that cheaply is now gone.

Even my own music that I make for myself right now? I'm not as inspired as I was early last year. I burned out THAT hard.

Comms are going to very very lightly re-open towards the end of the month. I'm talking ultra-limited slots. I'm talking "some waitlisters might not get accepted yet" limited.

I'm at a point where even my vacation has not helped the burnout or resparked the joy.

I wanna play it real bad but I think I'm gonna have to wait until I'm back more stable again, I'm still on the hunt for something to do besides my comms.

I really don't wanna keep doing fully open comms at my current pricepoint, it's no longer what I'm worth.

I'm ngl dude, $70 for Pokopia is insane, I don't think I can do $70 after just paying that much for RE9 less than a week before Pokopia drops.

$70 for any game is still insane btw

Fellas is it "hateful conduct" to call out hateful conduct?

I hate X The Everything App. Not as much as I hate how racist RYM is for labelling all "J-rock" as "Shimokita-kei".

What's next, we gonna change the "Zamrock" category to "Lusaka-core"? How about we change "Rap" to "New York Hip-Hop"?

I want to make it explicitly clear that I fucking detest the basement in Resident Evil Requiem. Holy shit I'm gonna piss my pants down here dude.

DLSS/upscaling in general was straight up not ready for public usage when it became standardized. It like still isn't, it's basically a beta feature that the entire industry has just decided to run with.

I love all the freckles/moles/beauty marks and I'm a big fan of petite girlies~

Genuinely top 5 worst input readers all time

Street Fighter 6 be a game where you can say "623P" and it'll be like "So you want 236236P?" No bitch. That's a whole new motion. Wtf are you talking about.

What have you been listening to while drawing lately?

Last thought: if “kawaii metal” ever was a genre you could call Babymetal with a straight face, you sure as fuck couldn’t call them that in their current incarnation.

Now they’re just generic slop alt-metalcore for coworkers to tokenistically yap about because being a weeb is mainstream now.

Anyways man I always forget that Bu-ikikaesu is one of the craziest albums ever made, man. The fact that these guys are finally making a new record after like 15 years is keeping me going.

Anyways, it was just a dumb thought I had because I been revisiting Maximum The Hormone’s discography a lot this week and thinking about how songs like Kuso Breakin’ and ChuChu Lovely were basically the blueprint for what Babymetal and even BiS were doing like a decade after the fact lol

The fact that mfs still try to insist that “kawaii metal” is a real genre and not just some term Babymetal was saying for marketing purposes is genuinely hilarious.

Like ok, if it’s a real genre, you have to call Maximum The Hormone “kawaii metal” too then. And I don’t think you wanna do that.

I'm starting to make faster progress, I'm still not suuuuper far, but uhh...I feel pretty confident in saying Requiem straight up is the best Resident Evil game ever, period.

Like I'm so sorry, this is better than 4. This is better than 2. And it's better than 1. It like...combines all of them.

It's actually hilarious watching Bungie make the same mistake with Marathon that EA made with Titanfall 1 all the way back in 2014: cool ass world with no fucking story are we insane!?!?

if they were courageous they would quit. there's nothing brave about killing kids at the whim of an irrational old pedophile

Every single time I creak open a door in RE9 and I see it's pitch black, I just go "yeah, nope", close the mf, pause the game, and go check every social media I have

Resident Evil 9 so scary it's got me checking my emails

Whatever this resolution is, more games need it. 2176x1224, sure.

Been playing Resident Evil Requiem on it and it's been really nice. It's not as jagged as playing 1080p resolution on my 1440p monitor, but it's keeping my framerate steadier and GPU so much cooler than playing at 1440p resolution.

It's crazy how it didn't even take 12 hours for someone to make a mode for Resident Evil Requiem that just let's you switch the camera perspective at the press of a button.

How was this in development for 5 years and they didn't think to add that?

This show deserved 8 seasons

Thinking about Neo Yokio again, I miss it so much
