riding the trains in red dead just to feel something, anything.

trial and erroring your way through different iterations of a piece until its final form emerges; constantly refining your ideas until they crystallise into something worthwhile, is the whole fucking point. if that sounds boring to you, and you want to use AI to skip it, fuck off. do the work.

is there an AI that can use the AI for me??? i like what i've made so far??? they didn't *make* anything

i haven't played unreal tournament in 20 years.

so ALAN WAKE II fucking slaps. i'm a little late to the party, but i've not had the opportunity to play/finish it until recently. i'm looking forward to the MAX PAYNE 1+2 remakes of course, but i'd love it if remedy went all-in on something unapologetically Finnish.

pokemon red/blue gaslit me into thinking vermilion was a shade of yellow for 27 years.

14 y/o me: take off your pants and jacket huh? that's a funny name for an album, but those blink boys are always taking their clothes off, so i guess it makes sense.

36 y/o me: *slaps forehead* OH FUCK IT'S A PUN

i've just learned today that there are people who've watched edward scissorhands and come away from the movie wondering why edward has scissors for hands.

famitracker sound collection (compo), by flumbeedumbee 20 track album

wanna play system shock 2, but i'm too much of a fraidy-cat lol

Hey man, I'm sorry for your loss. Take the time that you need. If you're feeling up to it sometime soon, we could do something together, tour around the ol' stomping grounds perhaps. Been too long. Hang in there bro

Manny Calavera approaches Cloud in the FF7 flower church, where he plummeted to his death.

wasting an entire saturday afternoon waiting for a delivery because you can't make a start on anything until it arrives.

morbidly curious about skate since i've got so much love for 1-3, so i tried it out. it asks whether i've played skate 3, then forces me thru a tutorial when i already know how to play. when that was over, i fast travel to the main map and the game immediately crashes lol.

tfw you have to deliberately re-think/optimise your creative process for immediate rewards/faster turn-arounds in order to make anything at all when you have limited free time and you're always sleepy.

Charles James Kirk, 31, died on Wednesday from a gunshot to the neck at a Utah Valley University campus event just as he was trying to deflect a question about mass shootings by suggesting they were largely a function of gang violence. He died with a net worth of $12 million, which he made by espousing horrific and bigoted views in the name of advancing Christian nationalism. The foundation of his empire was the group he cofounded and led, Turning Point USA, which is a key youth-recruitment arm of the MAGA movement. Kirk was able to launch Turning Point at the age of 18 because he received money from Tea Party member Bill Montgomery, right-wing donor Foster Feiss, and his own father, also a prolific right-wing donor. He was an unrepentant racist, transphobe, homophobe, and misogynist who often wrapped his bigotry in Bible verses because there was no other way to pretend that it was morally correct. He had children, as do many vile people.

now there's an obit I can get behind

Masashi Kageyama in Asakusa, Tokyo. January 2020

影山雅司 永眠のお知らせ

We are deeply saddened to share that Gimmick! composer Masashi Kageyama has passed away.

i'm coming to the end of a big video game discovery phase. you get older, you have less time/desire to play, so it was now or never. probably played more games in the last two years than the previous five. i've discovered a bunch of new favourites, but i think i'm ready to start slowing down now.

steam's servers ain't too silky right now

Link, I designed Majora's Mask to launch moons for defensive purposes only. If the terrorists wear that thing... we have to use this Temporal Modulator to trap Skull Kid in a time loop, infiltrate the temple and stop him!

but i guess since the post refers to him as "[first name] from [location]" and shows his face, the algo figured it out and put it on my feed. it's way too much of coincidence for it to be anything else. urgh (2/2)

my dad bought a new motorcycle and the shop took his picture for a little facebook post. he doesn't follow them, he wasn't tagged, he didn't like the post, nothing. (1/2)

At this point, if Bloodlines 2 just ends up being a half decent Dishonoured clone, I think I'd be okay with that. I feel bad for the devs though, if the game was called VtM: Reawakening some some shit most people wouldn't have minded, but I assume that decision wasn't their's to make.

Make sure your RPG battle transitions, scene composition, and attack animations are at least as cool as this Taiwanese DOS RPG from 1995

listened to the new anamanaguchi album at work yesterday. fucking hell this album goes. been a fan ever since scott pilgrim and i'm always stoked to hear them do their thing in whatever form that takes.

there's something about playing old PC games on sunday afternoons that doesn't feel right when you do it any other time of the week

Take away my photoshop, take away my tablets, I can still draw. Take away your plagiarism machine and what are you gonna do? Shout prompts at me?
