that's not a bad idea! I've not tried it before, but I might as well!

ugh probably 😭 when I'm talking to myself (which I do often, for dialogue) it's snappy and fun, but as soon as it's pen to paper, I get all dour

In my opinion it’s time to retire the Nobel prizes for fields where most of the important discoveries have already been made, like physics, and add prizes for newer fields where substantial innovations occur every year, like speedrunning

I can write comedy for other people super easy, but whenever I try to write for myself, even with the GOAL of comedy, it ends up being super-serious and therefore uninteresting to me, and I DON'T KNOW WHY

workout names are so fun. for a lot of my back/core-related workouts, I use the big bouncy ball - my current one is a plank with ankles on the top of the ball, then slowly lowering one foot to the floor with a straight leg, trying not to let the ball move, then back. it's so hard

Day 11 - Frutiger Aero Shark

Does anyone remember Winamp?

#Sharktober #Sharktober2025

Digital art. A drawing of an old Windows desktop with the classic image of a blue sky stretched out over rolling green fields. The style of the image is frutiger aero, which combines the aesthetic of early 2000’s technology with water, bubbles and bright colours. There are two sharks swimming across the screen that are shiny and transluscent, almost like gummy sharks.

so, uh, I guess the studio responded to this by replacing their website art!

(not gonna lie, I'm torn between "lol, lmao" and "hm, that's a bit of an immature response from a professional game studio")

A screenshot of the Sackbird website that shows their social media icons replaced with intentionally bad MS Paint-style art

A screenshot of the Sackbird website which used to have an AI-generated skyline of Baltimore, and now has an intentionally shitty bunch of brown boxes labelled as "Fort McHenry" and "Sackbird Studios" in Comic Sans. It has clearly been drawn in MS Paint in about 5 minutes

in video games, as in real life, you should check every bin in case someone left a tasty health-giving roast meat in there
