Poster design from a few years back. I really had fun turning a spur-of-the-moment idea into a realized poster design, but the thought of designing in my free time feels like pulling teeth. Who has the time or energy? 🤐

Angel's Egg is a hard watch. We saw it last night and didn't leave happy nor satisfied. There's no plot, the only two characters you see barely speak to each other, and the film ends abruptly.

But... I wouldn't say I didn't like it. I need to wrap my head around it and I guess that will take time.

Despite the ravages of age and an internet steeped in misinformation, your eyes – in this one case – do not deceive you: Website different. It’s taken an immense amount of time and effort, but welcome to Aftermath version 2.0:

I made 27 gifs (from scratch!) of video game characters dying like Mario does to discuss the origin of this peculiar bit of pixel animation. Enjoy!

Don't engage. Just block. They want to push their rage bait on here. Don't give them the satisfaction.

If you enjoy my work, please subscribe to my Ko-fi! I am very much on a knife edge as far as being able to continue writing's concerned (at all, never mind for X money or X articles a week), and if one or two big subscribers leave I'm back to applying for local supermarket jobs.

Via @automaton-media.com, composer Uematsu: “I’ve never used AI & probably never will. I think it still feels more rewarding to go through the hardships of creating something myself. When you listen to music, the fun is also in discovering the background of the person who created it, right?"

I don’t think ppl understand the whole “who cares if nobody likes it! make content for yourself” is extremely dismissive
Bc we ARE making the content for ourselves but it feels /bad/ when people don’t engage or show interest. You can care about both at the same time

Hey everyone. I’ll be honest, I’ve run out of rope on this “being a writer” business, to the point where my site either takes off, now, or I start applying for whatever local shop/cleaning jobs are available. This isn’t a “threat”, just an honest statement of where I am. Sorry.
