The not-so-secret to a game's success:

"You really have to create a product for someone that gives them value, that makes them feel like [...] "I'm not gonna be able to get this on Roblox." [...] And that is really the only way that people can stand out."

convinced this movie is about two things:

infertility impeding you from having a child of your own

entering your 70s and realizing the only place you're welcome is outside the lights of the carnival of life, so hold on tight to whoever is there with you and accept being overlooked

Real opening paragraph in an Official Nintendo Magazine feature

"I once punched my younger brother so hard in the chest that he vomited up that morning's breakfast - cornflakes mainly. It wasn't technically the Heimlich manoevre, as he wasn't choking and I wasn't trying to save him-"

DIY is imperfect. Resources are incredible. I’ve done this both ways and I know how much better things would be with resources. But life post-salary requires a DIY/zine mentality, which is inherently elastic and pluralistic and requires more than any boss should ask of you. You have to want that.

In the mood for some weird horror-y cartoon viewings for Halloween? Check out my new post highlighting 20 animated shorts from Walt Disney and Ub Iwerks.

Halloween Animation: Walt Disney and Ub Iwerks

Greetings, all. It’s that season again. It’s funny, as someone who regularly spends time watching horror movies, and reading horror books and comics year-round just as one of my default…
