Been off my meds for a couple days now and won't get them until later today... brain feels like soup ;w; Gonna probably take the day off from working on the game, and hopefully get to working on more art assets again tomorrow >3<

So like. I just finished this game a week ago but I can safely say it is one of my favs of all time. Just a heart wrenching character exploration, focusing on an increasingly toxic, co-dependent friendship. The art is fantastic also. HIGHLY recommend.

Cover Art for Sonic Adventure

Cover Art for Sonic Adventure

Sonic in general is like, my fav series, but of the games that had the biggest impact on me, I would have to say the aesthetic and atmosphere of Sonic Adventure still lingers on in my heart... I love the open world exploration of the game, and all the little details that went into it!

Probably a basic response, but... Undertale really is a game that means a lot to me. It is one of the most emotional experiences I've had playing a game, and it still inspires me a lot. I still consider it within my top 10, if not top 5, games!

Cover for In Stars and Time

Never before have I played a game that filled me with so much Dread; such a powerful feeling of knowing things have to get worse before they get better, and feeling like there's no way out but through... Also makes the gameplay loop work to its advantage SO well. Peak art and characters too <3

Night in the Woods meant a lot to me in college. I still think of it every time autumn rolls around, have been meaning to replay it. I love the characters so much, exploring the world is so fulfilling, and the message of the game still resonates with me a lot.

The game that changed my life... The World Ends With You is still one of my favs of all time, I 100% recommend it to anyone who wants a game that celebrates art in all its forms, and the importance of navigating conflicts in friendships <3

YOUR RING CAMERA IS AN ICE AGENT

"In October of 2025, Amazon's Ring announced its partnership with FLOCK, an A.I. surveillance group that freely shares its footage with ICE, the secret service, and the navy.

jack asked if i would sketch up a poster to tell people in nearby neighborhoods about the partnership between flock and ring, and this is what i came up with. it can be printed on an 8.5x11 sheet of paper.

I think I'm really good at writing action scenes. I'm good at describing movements while keeping up a fast pace. If nothing else, I find them fun to write, so hopefully that's a good sign. I hope to showcase this more at some point in the future ^^

I think its fucking crazy that Grok is actively generating deepfakes and csam as we speak but if I want to commission a nsfw painting of two fictional characters and pay it through paypal I could get myself and the artist banned from the site. Like honestly, fuck all of this.
