and did they give Sean Rose every single sterotypical OCD trigger they could think of? The time one made the most sense and I know the germophobic OCD was so he'd take off his watch for you to mess with it, but damn... he felt like a caricature. Love his voice, tho

Hitman has been a blast, though the immersion was blown regularly by the casting of Gavin Hammon as every other guard/soldier/hired hand. He's a cool guy, but hearing a voice I will forever associate with Kenny TWDG telling me "this area is off limits" every 5-10 minutes was comical.

CLEAR SIGHT redraw
I finally went back and revisited one of my favorite pieces. I also took some time to practice my digital painting.

I am a future contender for "Dumb Ways to Die" aren't I?

I just gasped reflexively at the cuteness of an animal while eating dinner and it caused me to choke.
Debating keeping a log of all the dumb, improbable stuff that seems to happen to me as I'm just doing normal things. For instance, a puff of cereal dust came up into my face and stuck to my mascara and eyeliner- forcing me to step away and pry my left eye open before I finished getting food.

It just occurred to me that I missed the Jurassic Park hype when it first came out because:
a) I was seven
b) I didn't like dinosaurs
c) Even as an adult, I just want Jeff Goldblum's character to shut the fuck up...

I hope it's not an unpopular opinion to want a DLC to explore exactly what the fuck happened to Wooly/Marcus (both in the game and before)

According to in-game lore, early-on The Prototype hid in a camera blindspot in his room and jumped the person who came in to check on him, so... either we're going to learn he's since made himself bigger, OR we get to hear Mob explain how a crab-legged automaton the size of a backhoe can stealth.

This year I published my first eBook "The Wrong Ones" and recorded a speedpaint of me painting the cover (and then the finished product) I'm very happy with how everything turned out! All in all, not a bad year!

Years ago, I used to get some flak from other retro gamers for not "promoting the hobby correctly"
Basically, I refused to gatekeep it.
"Save States?! You didn't 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 beat it."
"Original HW!"
"CRT only"
But I DON'T CARE how anyone play retro games.
Did you have fun? That's 𝘢𝘭𝘭 I care about.
