Thanks! I'm proud of how far I've come. My early stuff was a lot rougher. But the trick is building momentum. There's a point you get to where you start seeing visible progress, and you're hungry for more. I watched a lot of YouTube videos about art techniques.

I was exactly the same. Writer, not artist. Can't draw.

I started around the beginning of the pandemic, in a "learn to draw" app. Messed around, my wife encouraged me, messed around some more. Saw progress, kept at it.

Here's one of my latest. You can do the thing.

Hey y'all, if you like Indiana Jones and video games, that new Indiana Jones video game is a real hoot.

I'm gonna share this cartoon again simply because Jeff Bezos' Washington Post tried to censor it.

Yup

Just ran 5yo through a No Thank You, Evil! session for the first time and he loved it. Immediate wanted to play again. I think I started something.

Honorable mention to the first Resident Evil game.

Three-way tie between The Longest Journey, Thief 2, and Deus Ex.

Listen some of us don't care about rank

I'm glad I saw it, but feel no need to see it again. Contrast that with The Witch, which I've seen like four times and will probably watch again.

Saw Nosferatu and liked it, but didn't love it. Vibes were impeccable, cinematography felt deliberately disorienting and unsettling. Performances were great, set, costumes all on point. But it felt long, and I'm not sold on the ending. Left me unsatisfied and a little irked.

Seriously, the number of times I've picked up a weird little indie game and thought, "Wow, how did they manage to make a game specifically for me?" is just staggering.

Anytime someone says "It's just business," I finish, "For you. It's just business for you."

Mike Ybarra calling Marvel Rivals a copy of Overwatch is hilarious. I guess he forgot about TF2.

I'm regretting a lot about our Supreme Court and government, does that matter?

Kavanaugh obsessed over trans people "regretting" their decision to transition and that being a state interest.

Setting aside the fact that the rate of "regret" is very low, it's not the state's job to protect people from regret.

This is an argument for the ultimate nanny-state.

Went and saw Wicked last night, which was excellent. Loved it.

Trailer for the Snow White remake played beforehand and... oh boy. I think we've got the makings of another Cats-level horror show on our hands.

Need to get back to it.

Funny story, I'm in a Clue: The Movie Storium game where I'm basing my character heavily on Sam Rockwell's Justin Hammer.

I was joking, but now I want this movie.

Fuck that, swordomancer. And not, like, enchanting a sword and fighting with it. Hurl Sword. Cone of Swords. Swordball. Cloud of Swords. Wall of Swords. Bigby's Giant Fucking Hand (with sword).

RDJ as every character.

I would probably do more art if I could just fully embrace this mindset

My answer to all of these is "fuck"

My favorite thing about the Jake Paul/Mike Tyson thing is that he thinks he gets to brag he beat Tyson now, and the rest of the internet has made him into a meme. What a ding dong.

Democrats lost while doing everything the left was begging them not to do, and now most of them have concluded that this means that it was a mistake to listen to the people they ignored and to run the campaign they didn't run, and must now pivot to doing more of exactly what they did when they lost.

Keep seeing headlines about how Republicans and lobbyists are "stunned" about Trump's picks and... why? He told you who he was. He told you what he would do. If you didn't believe him, that's on you.

Haven't started Season 2 yet, but Season 1 really came out of nowhere for me. I was like, "Eh, I'll try it" and it immediately became my favorite thing on Netflix.

Following millions of pre-registrations, cozy open-world game Infinity Nikki finally reveals its release date - and it's coming soon December can't come quickly enough

Unironically so excited about this. I've got a strong fondness for dress-up games in general and the Nikki series specifically. Adding open world shenanigans is a perfect circle Venn diagram for me.
