Iron Lung is playing right now in theaters worldwide.

It's been one of the greatest privileges of my life to be part of this journey along with Mark and co, and the result is one of the best things I've ever been part of.

I hope you all enjoy it!

My wife asked if I was wearing my cast and crew shirt to the Iron Lung screening I'm attending, and I was like "maybe, but I like being anonymous"

She looked at me like I was crazy and, yeah, I guess I deserve to show off a little bit this once.

"PTSD" was really just inspired by Marks performance. He portrays the "5 stages of grief" REALLY well but I personally identified with the specific scene this music was made for. He nails it and I wanted to do my best to make sure he had something to match it behind him.

Spreading the good news about how utterly broken this spell in my game is.

So, obviously there are a ton of soulslikes out there, but are there any that go more for the "I can't see anything and a bunch of wheely skeletons just stunlocked me to death" souls vs the "dodge roll this 24 attack chain with perfect timing" souls?

Because I am always incredibly late to things, my wife and I started watching The Mandalorian.

At what point should I expect to start being disappointed?

Why
January 23, 2026 at 3:27 PM
I'm starting to delve more into 70s scifi art and writing for inspiration, and it's making me suspect that my long disinterest in scifi has mostly to do with how stale and unimaginative it's become now as a codified genre.

This isn't really my normal content, but I'm going to start posting stuff on shortform video places and I put a lot of work into this first one so I thought I'd post here too. :)

Development updates coming soon!

How in the heck did they do this shadow?

The part on the ground seems like it's drawn with sectors but the part on the fence has to be a transparent decal of some sort I guess?

It's honestly really impressive how many tricks this game uses for fake light and shadow.

Never forget that one of the artists on Redneck Rampage was Victor Antonov.

You know, the artist behind Half-life 2 and Dishonored.
