Grateful Windows has a button for rolling back to a previous driver version. Latest NVIDIA graphics driver update low-key made my computer unusable...

(sRGB clamping wasn't working anymore which meant my display colours were wayyyy off 💀)

“AI is clearly sticking around so you have to get used to it” wrong. I don’t have to get used to shit. I am a practiced hater and I can keep this going for decades if I am required to

As they say, no rest for the wicked…

Maybe I’ll be able to breathe in mid-December, when I’m no longer being crushed by mountains of deliverables. 💀

Looking forward to "In Hell With Markiplier (and Ethan)" after the end of that livestream lmao

Memento Mori 🤍🖤

I like the look of the in-game sprite so I went with brunette Shanoa for my piece, but here's an alt for those who prefer the canon raven haired look.

Swedish actor Björn Andréson (Death in Venice, Midsommar) has passed away. Though not specifically tied to gaming, he was an incredibly popular model for several decades worth of games and anime in Japan! Indeed inspiring Alucard, Griffith, and SMT Louis Cypher and many more. RIP.

Insanely busy currently, but still finding a few minutes here and there to compose pieces of a new blog post.

Easier for me to spontaneously write a few sentences into my phone than sit down to work on pixel art.

Rolled credits on Silksong (true ending) today. Pretty good game overall, I give it a 7.5/10.
Eventually I'll come back and do 100% completion and get the remaining achievements, but that won't be for a long while. 👍🏻

Finally ready to show this off. My basement gaming setup is getting out of hand, not that I particularly mind though 😎

Kinda dumbfounded that Rush, one of the most Canadian bands there is, is planning a North American tour with only one stop in Canada. 😒👎🏻

I think they'd have quite a bit in common.

Happy 39 years of Konami’s Castlevania! One of my favourite video game franchises, I’ve collected most of the games over the years.

First image is my entire collection, and the second is just the main canon (with DXC standing in for Rondo). My fav is Order of Ecclesia~ 💜

Got a new pixel art thing in early development at the moment, don't expect to see that released for quite a while though. 👀

Life is crazy busy at the moment but I'm finding time to do things that are good for my sanity and that's something. 💜

I was nearly ready to show this off in a fully complete state, but with the new Canada Post strike I won't be able to get the final component I need for a while... 😒
A teaser of my current ongoing major project… 👀

Got some things I want to draw,
but try as I might, my brain is simply not in a pixel art state at the moment. 🫠😔

Enough people said they wanted to see the final slide deck, so I took the time to put it on my non-teacher github so I could share it. I didn't end up getting in trouble. I ended up being encouraged by a colleague to share it with my dept chair, and he liked it

Tfw you can’t watch any of your usual Twitch streamers because of Silksong spoilers 😔💀

After Bitmap Books unveiled this product with a list of games that frankly don't represent the impact of indie gaming on culture and the industry, I'm tempted to write my own blog post(s) on the subject.

So much history was missed here. It's a rare L from them.
