Aww! That’s so sad… I hope they can overcome that trauma and learn that they will move to the new place with you!

Hotel mirror Me as Mai Valentine (Kujaku Mai) from the card game anime/manga Yu-Gi-Oh. She has big yellow blonde curls, purple eyes with long lashes, pink eyeshadow and lipstick, round statement earrings, a light pink short corset top, a purple pleather jacket, a jeans mini skirt in grey, purple tights and red purple thigh-high boots with high heels. She’s posing with a Harpie Perfumer card in her one hand with the smartphone tucked behind, and the other hand in her waist. I have flipped this selfie so it is correctly oriented for the audience.

Selfie of me as James Sunderland from the horror video game Silent Hill 2 Remake with guest star Mira the Dog. James has short, somewhat ashy blonde hair, light grey-brown eyes and a blood smear on his cheek. He wears a grey button-up shirt and an olive green jacket. He’s holding a steel pipe prop with rust and blood effects on it and the brown Shiba dog Mira from the game’s famous Dog Ending is sitting on his head in plushie form.

Photo of me as James Sunderland, the complete outfit with the jacket, shirt, jeans and trekking shoes. He’s somewhat standing sideways in a dark hotel hallway readying the steel pipe as  melee weapon.
I cheated the hotel’s light sensors for this and made my phone take the picture via timer from the hallway‘s windowsill, so there’s no flashlight on because my phone would be the light source. Only the hallway emergency lights remained.

The stupidest hotel mirror selfie construction: Me as James Sunderland being photographed by my tablet that sits on a stool with Mira the Dog plushie on it, which I propped up on the hotel room bed with some newspaper underneath. This time, the flashlight prop can shine and the steel pipe prop is also better visible with its weathering and blood effects. This mirror selfie was not flipped back since it shows Mira‘s perspective. Her cheek peeks into the frame from the left.

Excited to share progress on a piece I’ve been dying to arrange and learn on harp since I first heard it in camp - Wash My Pain Away from Baldur’s Gate 3. Sadly the video’s a little out of focus, but I didn’t have time to do another take. More progress to come tho!

this is a petition for the scottish parliament to broaden eligibility for the covid vaccine. please, if you're in scotland, consider signing this. the criteria at the moment is just woefully inadequate

Today is World AIDS Day.

“An awareness day is not a strategy” is the US government's rationale for not publicly acknowledging World AIDS Day for the first time since the inaugural WAD in 1988.

if you're one person making a comic by yourself, don't treat yourself like you should function on the same level as comics that have multiple people working on them. your backgrounds can be squiggles and colors.

allow yourself room to be abstract with details and give yourself some grace

last week i remembered that macOS lets you set your own icons and that *I* have the power to delegitimize the professionalism of the software that runs on my machine, so here's a thread of the 16 new icons i've made so far

i really forgot how fun it was to just sit down and make art for myself :')

I find it darkly comical that the most vocal champions of free will so often use it to justify their laziness, complacency, and adherence to the path of least resistance. To explain every cruelty, avarice, and hatred that tempts them.

Apparently the dude's also made such predictions as "PC gaming is dead" in 2006, "office meetings will be taking place in Second Life," and "all games will need Metaverse integration." So, y'know, his belief all games will use generative AI is a great sign.

Funny it's only the EXECUTIVES who keep saying "AI" is inevitable and will be in everything. When it's developers, coders, writers, artists, independent creators, and smaller studios run by those people, they're somehow shockingly AGAINST using plagiarismbots that can't code, write, or draw.

Tbf people have actively chosen not to look for alternatives and many still do not know GOG exists. Which in turn leads to less sales and no aftermarket price competition the way you see for Steam codes. Us few who try to shop there more are hence limited in how much we can buy there.
