Sometimes you just have sudden realizations many years later. Like it just yesterday it dawned on me that the game f-zero is called that because of Formula car racing rankings (F3 -> F2 -> F1 -> F-Zero)

Oh I never realized Kondo did a bunch of the art for Einhander..... Since I'm not much of a shmup person I admit that I hadn't really engaged with it a ton, but I was curious about its gallery lol

I don't think it comes up in any of the books I have with collections of his work?

No disagreement about how much worse it's become, but twitter was pretty bad even before it was deliberately retooled to court controversy.

The New Mutants is so much better than X-Force, it's absurd. Like, how were readers' tastes in 1990 so bad that they preferred Rob Liefeld and X-Tinction Agenda to this??

Pixel art of various animal themed robot bosses. The tag at the top says MegaGear X

People keep saying the codenames in Metal Gear Solid sound like Megaman X bosses, so I decided to give them actual designs. Matches the scale of my other X mockups.

Something I've been sitting on for several years that I finally decided to wrap up tonight.

Guys always over-represent themselves on coding interviews, women under-rate themselves, and trans-women are spot-on in their self-assessment. It's science.

Taking the testimony in good faith, I conclude their problem domain is "web boilerplate" which kind of damns the whole sector, and not just their recent a16z-bootlicker heel-turn.

Noticing a new LL evangelism tactic that's like "I was skeptical, but now my coding-assistant really works and it's converted me and everyone else is a tribal partisan" and like -- I've tried them too and they still suck shit, so color me unpersuaded.

Some animator friends of mine at [Major Studio Name Redacted] who normally do mocap cleanup were tasked with cleaning up GenAI-created animations, and the feedback was they're 10x dirtier than mocap you can get for cheap, which probably inhibits meaningful exploration in that space.

The robot/mechanical theme was an intentional choice to lower-the-bar for what I could get away with using IK. I wouldn't dream of using this solution for, e.g., an Unreal Metahuman rig.
