Been doing some digital painting lately that I am quite pleased with.

A late sunset, a silhouette of a telephone pole is in the foreground, some city lights are visible.

A sunset with a country house in the background and a stream in the foreground.

A street in dusk with a neon sign in the foreground and a car on the road.

A late sunset in an open field with one telephone pole in the middle.

I played some Resi 1 remake last night and it reminded how much work cinematography contributes to atmosphere, and even game design. The Until Dawn remake dropped fix cam and it's a great AB test for the difference it makes.

'Oh but Graham surely "Hush" is the better episode'.

To that I say that one has Cordeila and Angelus and the other has Riley. Stop embarrassing yourself.

While I do consider the Buffy S02E06 'Halloween' episode to be the essential seasonal watch, I do think S02E18 'Killed by Death' should be seen also. On account of being the (arguably*) the best episode.

These came out so well on paper.

Three new prints of bird paintings, a bullfinch, a blue tit and a robin. They are still in the envelope wrapping and sitting on my desk with a mug of tea and a candle.

It’s 2050 and a teen girl is torrenting a .tar.gz file of all the consciousnesses of all the tech bros who uploaded themselves into the cloud in a bid for immortality and modding them into The Sims 4

I am having this experience with f, and had the same with the remake of SH2. The simple experience of playing them is expensive on the energy for some reason.

Bly Manor rewatch. Let's get sad.

Fascinating story about a “ghost” concept car that was designed in 1939 but possibly/maybe/probably not actually built at the time, and only discovered when the sketches were found in a barn decades later.

Agencies seems to have no issues only holding viewings for my neighbours houses for "cash-only buyers". Funny how their attitudes can change.

I cannot begin to express the rancid vibes Hasan Piker has given me from say zero. Reminds me of every loud performative ally from the Twitter days.

Screenshot of the first Google New result for "catherine connolly" which is an Irish Times article with the headline "Catherine Connolly spent €3,700" from taxpayer-funder allowance on 'Syria'.

I need to know if Catherine Connolly would kill baby Hitler.

I equally must understand what Heather Humphreys' favourite episode of Friends is.

If only the Irish Times could get me this info before I have to vote.

on the one hand, ubisoft are cowards, on the other hand, because ubisoft are cowards, i'm not sure i would trust them to handle content related to, uh, reconstruction

Very excited to see the engine and interior.

I've been watching a series of a guy quietly, painstakingly restore a Datsun 240z piece by piece and it's very relaxing, even if you are not particularly into cars.

I do feel quite a bit of sympathy for the millions of Americans who did not want or vote for this and are now trapped in this situation with leadership who are sprinting to a very ugly end.

Incredible.

Jack Posobiec references the earliest version of antifa -- the anti-fascists in the Weimar Republic who were opposed to the Nazi Party -- as the bad guys.

This is why giving the grifters an inch is bad, because you will end up giving a foot.

SCOOP: Last year, Ubisoft cancelled an Assassin's Creed game set during Reconstruction. Was to feature a Black Assassin who, among other things, fought the rise of the Klan

Sources: Leadership nixed it over concerns re: U.S. political climate, backlash to Yasuke

I've a desk and cabinet and dark green armchair with gold hardware but there are little pops of gold in the fixtures around the room so I think I'll get away with gold.
