First day officially teaching High School. Nervous but excited.

Life is so weird because I always felt like my teachers had it all together and now I'm teaching and I'm definitely still figuring life out.

My heart goes out to Mickey's family. Losing a loved one on Christmas is devastating.. Mickey will certainly be missed. #bb27

Do you think things like the new studio acquisitions to massively expand the size on Diablo (Blizzard Albany) and Warcraft (Proletariat) help with that?

Also I feel like Lord of Hatred and Warcraft Midnight are Blizzards two big things next year.

Just curious, how is Faries perceived within the company among employees?

Is she viewed as positively as the interview kinda feels?

Also really loved your book!

Supergirl looks awesome. I just wish there was more color. Evely's art is such a huge part of why the story is so awesome, and evokes a feeling of "There's beauty when it's bleak" and I feel like that emotional feel isn't really in most of the shots.

However, I really like this take on Kara.

Oof. Hope he makes it out okay....but what a tough situation...

Did a test screening of an episode with someone to guage somethings. Main take away, is that I need to rework on sound levels and go harder with graphics to really help with viewer tracking. Overall though, I got really positive feedback and feel like the edit is shaping up well.

For those curious, I just finished episode 5 (ignoring some polish and extra graphics to add extra info and help with tracking). I want to have 10 episodes finished before I begin premiering to ensure you'll be able to get an episode everyweek without delays.

Editing is still in the works. I'm finally figuring out how to do it faster. So far the episodes are all hilarious. I forgot how dense the episodes were with hilarious moments. I don't think a single minute of gameplay went by without laughs from roleplaying. Can't wait to premiere it in January!

Part of the problem is that UPS adds a 10$ fee for having to deal with this issue. So....it's....bad

Just ordered something through that was from a store based in the UK. I felt the price was tight after I paid the extra fees, but I was glad I got it. THEN....I got a message UPS refused to deliver it until I paid the Tarriff cost and um.....the tarrifs essentially DOUBLED the cost... its bad...

But I do have some good news too. House of Eyes is getting a season 2! 6 new players, new twists, and new strategic storylines! There may also be something else in development but its too early to talk about.

The editing process has been kicking me in the butt amd as a result House of Eyes has been delayed to January to give me a bit more time to get to where I want to be on editing before I release episodes.

Bluesky is DESTROYING twitter on engagement which tells me just how dead that app is for people who are neither famous nor paying.

If what you love about Tucker is how he shows affection to women especially to Rubina. The "Character" of Tucker that is in their minds is missing a core piece of him.

The real person of Tucker though is doing just fine.

I would be sad if America and Cory broke up because I view each of them in part through their relationship with the other one. "What is America without Cory?" The difference is, I don't see them as fictional characters but real people and so I won't feel like Cory "feels wrong" now.

In Comics, people are super invested in relationships like Mary Jane and Peter Parker. When they are broken up, fans often feel like a huge part of why they love Peter is just missing and feel the "fictional character" is violated. Tucker/Rubina to para-socials are fictional characters too.

Para-social connections are wack. ESPECIALLY with showmances. You are invested in people being together and view that person in large part through their relationship with their showmance. If they break up, your view of that person becomes incompatible with who they are now and it feels bad.

As a reminder, this is a student project. I am not a professional editor nor have I ever shot something like this. Nor am I a professional dm. I just love reality tv and wanted to share that love with my players and all of you. I am doing my best to capture the wild journey.

House of Eyes Trailer
YouTube video by Our Comical Reality House of Eyes Trailer

Missing #bb27? Well, here's the five minute trailer for House of Eyes: A Reality TV Role Playing Game. I turned Big Brother and other shows into a RPG. It's hilarious, dramatic, strategic, and competitive. Reality TV + BB works shockingly well!

Guys I lied. House of Eyes Trailer drops on Sunday. It'll be just over 5 minutes long with clips from all 5 weeks of filming. I'm so proud of the work everyone did to make this happen

The Trailer for House of Eyes: The Reality TV TTRPG drops next Tuesday. It's a Big Brother Parody with 14 episodes filmed over 5 sessions. It's hilarious, more strategic than #bb27 (theres actual alliances in the opening weeks), and dramatic. I can't wait to show it off!!

Production has wrapped. Reunion filmed too. Ended up being an hour long reunion cause there was so much to talk about. So excited to show off the hard work.

Still remember that issue so vividly. They will conquer not through violence but economic domination.
