Drew is a friend and seeing her struggle after Sucker Punch failed to protect her from coordinated chuds makes me livid. Stop rewarding this bad behavior. They'll never buy your games anyway, they literally do not care. They just want to feel powerful and in control of others lives.

This timeline is determined to make sure that every figure from my youth, no matter how incidental, ends up returning for a final "oh, so he was a shitty person too" victory lap.

Sometimes I hate myself for the kind of gameplay ideas I have, coding this tumbling block physics with the screws was SOO hard
But I'm happy that the block puzzles are getting more varied and better integrated with the platforming, pacing and all
(game is ABYSS X ZERO, btw)

And that's PWSim 2 100%ed. Just as pleasant as the original, with just as fun and goofy of a story. The fact they manage to have one at all in a game about washing (a variety of very cool) objects and places is outstanding, let alone how enjoyable it is.

While the game discourse is about crediting, I have to say video game crediting is bonkersly bad. It's at the whims of the studio. Throughout my career, I have been uncredited, credited when I didn't do anything, & moved to additional when I contributed a significant amount to what's in game.

Hornet with the Witch Crest
Even though I barely used it in-game it was one of my favorite Silksong crests concept-wise

Finally done with my Hornet fanart! :D
This was a fun one~ I'm nearing the end of the game and I'm gonna miss wandering around Pharloom. I might to a couple more! (Sherma and Lace? idk, we'll see~)

Sketchtober day 2 I got a bit more ambitious, and used a bit of screenshot manipulation to honor the wild family games of R.E.P.O. we've been playing lately!

Decided that rather than commit to a premade, themed list for this year, my impromptu sketchtober will be themed around indie games I've been playing. Today's "panicked drawing at the end of the day" scribble? My Thri-kreen D&D character talking maps with Silksong's Shakra.png

You know what... Since I'm currently unemployed and keep wanting excuses to practice drawing again, I think I might take part in 'not-actually-Inktober-but-the-spirit-of-the-thing'. I'm open to suggestions of prompt lists aside from the ""official"" one, if folks have favorites!

stop thinking of indie work as something 'made correctly' or 'made for you'
nothing will be 100% made for you unless YOU are the one making it
engage with work as it is - you can hold space for what you wanted it to be, but you gotta uncouple yourself from the disappointment or you'll be poisoned

It especially frustrates me b/c I'm gray-asexual and I am also an adult artist and writer. This stuff DOES affect us & acting otherwise erases much of the ace spectrum & reinforces the stereotype we're all puritanical prudes.
In any case, something not affecting you doesn't mean one shouldn't care.

It saddens me greatly that I have seen people say "im asexual so it doesn't matter to me" about the rise in censorship- not exclusive to bsky btw; it does matter to you. Your sexual orientation does not give you moral high ground. I dont know how to explain you should care about other people.

Absolutely one of my games of the year and possibly my favorite survival-crafting game of all time. If you enjoy the genre like I do, or just want some Half-Life/SCP-ish shenanigans as a goofy scientist, 100% check it out!
