Party In The Front - Comms Closed

our government combines the impulse control of pete hegseth, the intellectual rigor of rfk jr, and the attention span of donald trump with elon musk’s signature sense of humor

Eat shit

Israeli media reporting that the US and Israel have divided up the Iran attack thus: the US is targeting infrastructure, Israel is focussed on taking out Iran's leadership

It should go without saying that the aim here is to collapse Iran - a country of ninety million people - into ungovernable chaos and Mad Max-style warlord catastrophe, much as they have every other country from Libya to Afghanistan that they could not buy off.

You're probably going to see a bunch of arguments from people that are near-identical to the takes of 2003. And maybe even by the same people! Just know that they were wrong then, they'll be wrong now.

A lot of discourse all the time about "it's a distraction". And like, distraction is a feature of this mission of chaos they're in. Everything distracts from everything else, they don't even have to plan it moment to moment. There's no orchestration other than "an atrocity every 2 weeks"

Gfy

But I'm eager to explore slowly on this run because my first one was rushed and I'm seeing so much great stuff I don't remember being so good.
Also whatever weather you get in a given area affects the atmosphere and colors a lot, and I didn't sit still to see the best of some places before, probably

In the DLC they were forced into wild new light and color combos, since the base game already does so much. It has some of the most mindblowing stuff, but there were a few areas that got very muted, and others went with a orange-gold/blue-green tint that kind of turned my stomach...

I have a problem with heavy color gradings on film and games. In Fromsoft specifically, it's usually done really well since the first souls, boosting pallettes and distinguishing areas, but when it doesn't hit it for me, it gives me a feverish (pejorative) and cheap feeling.

I'm not sure! I could swear things look more subtle now and atmosphere effects are tweaked to perfection. Fogs, light rays, stuff like that. Either that or optimization is allowing me higher visual settings on the same setup...

Happy birthday!

Turning 24 today! 🧙‍♂️

Shares of my art are very much appreciated 🌛

I'm just replaying this too and I could also swear it's looking better. I did complain about some of the color grading, especially in late areas of the DLC. But I was just going through the beginning of the DLC and the shrouded sunlight is absolutely gorgeous, I didn't remember it being so good.

Coming early next week! 🙏

Cover reveal time!

New title track featuring Gerard Way out now🥶

Awesome, thank you! I'll set it up, then, there's a couple of other older works I may release soon, along with it.

Stand clear, citizen. This garbage dump is hostile.

Hey, I don't mind making it available at the store if you guys are ok with it and don't mind ordering from the US. It's client work and I hadn't considered selling, but would be happy to fulfill that.

Celes and Locke WIP

Several copies of my linocut portrait of Rosalyn Sussman Yalow in lab coat looking at the viewer, holding a pipette in on hand and a test tube in the other. She has short bobbed hair, wears a dark sweater, a medallion on a chain, a watch and a couple of rings. Behind her are a grid of circles. She is printed in dark blue and the circles are silver.

Not sure why I was thinking about it this morning, but here are some pics of my favorite Halloween costumes (with honorable mentions on the end post) from the last decade. These vary from 50%-90% hand crafted. I've slowed down a bit over the years, but doing this has always been joyful.

A before and after

I love this.

Anyway, I'm back on Elden Ring because my brother got some free time to play coop, and we're having fun nevertheless. Just venting.
