Pass the cup this way!

My wife calls The Pitt "competency porn", and I love it. The world needs more competency porn.

My wife calls The Pitt "competency porn" and I love that term so much.

This is literally the plot of the Ace Combat 7 game.

Holy shit. Yoko Taro + EVANGELION!?

And they didn't hire you? Lame. Gotta be a cash grab then. :D

If you did a Kickstarter for a Neopets TTRPG, it would KILL. Guaranteed!

There is joy in the world again.

If you want to be a working professional, you have to learn perspective. I can’t tell you the number of storyboard portfolios I’ve looked at with weak or nonexistent perspective. It’s one of the dead giveaways you’re not ready.

“Big” year for you!

Sektori is an incredible video game and I am way too old to be any good at it.

I was walking in Santa Monica eating a Chipotle burrito.

Coming the other way towards me was Weird Al, also eating a Chipotle burrito.

We made eye contact and nodded at each other as we passed, as if to say "greetings, fellow burrito enjoyer."

Perfect celebrity interaction.

Cameras & Image Capture: Requirements and Best Practices Skip to translations   WHY NETFLIX HAS AN APPROVED CAMERA LIST To help creatives produce their best work and create compelling visual experiences for our audience, Netflix requires 90% of a program...

My guess is that Rian Johnson's production company has enough pull that they didn't have to follow the "Netflix Camera & Image Capture Guidelines"? So RJ didn't have to use camera tech they weren't immediately familiar with? partnerhelp.netflixstudios.com/hc/en-us/art...

I feel like my GOTY picks and game habits have dramatically shifted since starting to play games with my wife. And hers have as well.

Like, neither of us would have played The Outer Wilds on our own. But together? It became a magical experience and one of our all time favs.

An American Tail poster with lil ol mouse immigrant Fievel

It’s hard to believe but there was a cartoon about an immigrant mouse and it was seen as totally fine and not controversial and not woke because it was an aspirational and nice thing about America that people could come here and find a better life
