Drawing hot anime people is the great joy of my life and I should really do it more.

I also recognize that life may become even more of a Black Mirror episode than it already is and I will become a prophet, but that's on corporations, not me!!

I don't expect this to change anything, but as long as people know that's what I'm doing--

Argent @codeargent.bsky.social · 4h

Yet again, if I get any ads tailored specifically to me, that is a 100% guarantee that I will never buy that thing or use that service

Corporations will have to grow a biodroid and fool me into thinking a real human being is recommending their product.

It's funny that people are like "wow this is lots of therapy loaded into a single thread" but like, this stuff wasn't part of my trauma therapy treatment lol

I just have been trying to figure out how to get people to think about themselves like I think about both myself and other people.

You there. I want you to say, aloud, at some point today "I'm really glad I'm good at..." And then you're gonna say something you think you do pretty well.

If you don't think you do anything pretty well, I want you to say "one little thing that makes me unique is..."

And if you can't do either?

Dear folks.
I’m collecting case studies on good/interesting game dev practice/process from artisanal solo devs or small teams. Please; more reccs for developers who are not dudes.

Every time I think "I would really like to see media about [SPECIFIC COMBINATION OF TROPES]", it magically appears!

I must use this power for good. (There is nothing new under the sun.)

It does make their circumstances sadder, and I am always there for more emotional hurt in my horror.

8/10, I'm very glad I read this. It's out of my usual strike zone.

[...] They'd had lives outside of each other for years at that point. I kind of get that they were cut off and living a little shallowly because of their traumas, but the fact that they were SO isolated/disconnected made them feel a little more flat.

Argent @codeargent.bsky.social · 2d

My bigger sticking points were with some of the characters and their relationships with each other and other characters. You don't get a lot of their relationships outside their in-group, which struck me as odd bc even with their powerful connection [...]

Being less disorienting defined the scares better and made them more pronounced. The house is the horror, but the horror is more because of what happens in the house, y'know? (It's okay if you don't know.)

Argent @codeargent.bsky.social · 2d

I do have to bring up a comparison with House of Leaves, which I also really liked. I easily get confused by "mindbending eldritch structure" narratives, which I suppose is the point, but I think Staircase served the horror a little bit better because it was less disorienting.

Argent @codeargent.bsky.social · 2d

I finished reading The Staircase in the Woods by Chuck Wendig, and enjoyed it thoroughly.

I liked that the protagonists are incredibly messy, but are also doing the best with what they can in their specific situations (even if what they do is sometimes Very Bad, you understand why they did it).

Argent @codeargent.bsky.social · 2d

So much of making a thing revolves around how the thing feels to experience.

That's not something I put a lot of thought into, but I need to. "Mindful creativity" sounds really hokey, but I think that's what to do if I want a project to have an impact.

I want just enough money to live comfortably, but not so much money I'd never be able to spend it all. There's no point in that, and it clearly turns you into a Sith lord. No thank you.

Argent @codeargent.bsky.social · 6d

If I ever came into a lot (I mean A LOT) of money, I hope I'd retain the humility to remember being rich isn't good and distribute that wealth to the places that need it more than I do.

I hope to God I would. I think being obscenely rich is an illness tbh.

Heavily considering joining VGen and making a case to become a verified artist so I can do commissions

I'll have to think about it

"I did not bruise like a delicate peach, you performed adequately."

Alternatively, "I bruised like a delicate peach, how DARE you! -5 stars!"

I am SO mysterious and deep. /j

I'm really tired of being always on, all the time, really. Can I have a conversation not behind a screen

There's liberation in not posting every detail of your life in public places

do I know anyone on here who can do this kind of Bauhau illustration style? might need some bits like this for a cover for something game design related.

And i will continue to uplift others and use my platforms to share about stuff i love.

Made this for something I'm doing IRL. I'm not super strong with traditional media, but I'm going to practice until I am. Get those reps in!

A pencil sketch of three maneki neko statues with different craft designs. One is very large and smiling, one is slightly smaller and more stylized, and the third is tiny and cartoony. They are referenced from statues in real life.
