It's March 10th, and you know what that means... It's MARIO DAY! I LOVED the battle level, so here's that, Mallory-style!

Super close! #14 is The Legend of Zelda, #20 is Venture Brothers, and #23 IS Jhonen Vasquez, but it's Johnny the Homicidal Maniac (not Zim).

I've illustrated Mallory in so many different styles. Give it your best shot!

But then, finally, we go were argument is abandoned entirely: dismissal, mockery, and petty gaslighting. The grease trap of discourse. The slippery dregs.

David Perry @davidperry.bsky.social · Jan 27

Only after those have been addressed can you wade into what's left: conjecture, suspicion, belief, or generic assertion. What remains in this space is so subjective that it's inarguable, and so this is the last bastion of a weak argument; it's the place rushed to when the outlook of success is poor.

I have a system for breaking down an argument. First, I deal with what can be empirically proven--things with material evidence. Then, deal with things that can be reasoned through using the structure of logic, i.e. deduction and induction. (1/3)

We can't navigate the complication of it, so we perform in spite of it, until we [think we] believe our own performance.

David Perry @davidperry.bsky.social · Jan 23

We don't know the difference between what we've constructed and what lies beneath it. One is driven too often by a desperate, secular attempt to synthesize meaning from social validation, and the other is the indestructible unknown reality that terrifies us.

--is the inability to see the difference between impassioned efforts toward identifying the truth of a situation and the emotional satisfaction of acting in adherence to the tediously curated identity/persona we've build for ourselves.

I'm beginning to believe that the greatest folly of the Millennial generation--the thing that gets us into the most chaotic trouble as a society--

As I'm finishing up the Mallory Bash film screenplay, promotional art has been necessary for a few things.

They're burying themselves in each other, seemingly addicted to the reciprocated affirmation. Even Twitter didn't feel this pedantically adolescent and emotionally incompetent.

David Perry @davidperry.bsky.social · Jan 6

My experience here hasn't been particularly positive. It generally seems to be full of exactly the worst stereotype of Progressivist laymen and their self-unaware affectations, assuredly blocking any dissent of such sufficiently meticulous reasoning that they haven't the will to navigate it.

Just a little Saki splash art.
