Hello, did you know I love Hexadecimal ReBoot? So much that I made pins of her??

I've finally put a number of Hex pins up on my ko-fi for anyone who missed the kickstarter.

You can go here for just the pin: ko-fi.com/s/a8eaed68d1
You can go here for the big bundle: ko-fi.com/s/abe27de872

An enamel pin of Hexadecimal from ReBoot. The pin is sitting in a fancy little frame.

Framed.

#art #fanart #clairObscur #e33 #expedition33 #coe33

Verso stands in front of a framed canvas. The canvas is sliced, and the frame is broken and burning. Verso is holding his sword and parrying dagger and standing among the flamed, looking back at the viewer like he's daring them to pass judgement on him.

kinda crazy how every single “just give people enough money to afford some basic stuff” experiments yield the exact same positive results that everyone benefits from every time, huh

Anyway, back to toiling

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

5. Detention

This is one of the greatest horror games ever made. I say that with no exaggeration, the blending of political backdrop and folklore intertwined with the very personal horrors the protagonist is experiencing shows why I speak so highly of Red Candle's storycraft, it's a masterpiece.

Very frustrating.

Anyway I’m gonna slam-dunk myself into bed now and hopefully my brain will chill out by the morning, lmao.

I hate how much of my life is me trying to rationalize things to my brain and it still being like “okay but what if actually you’re a piece of shit and we’re going to feel bad about things instead??? Yeah???? What if you suck actually and aren’t doing enough??? You’re bad and should feel bad????”

Me: Just ordered a bunch of new phone charms, many of which were drawn from zero in the past week or so, new sticker design, a new print, wrote a bunch of words in fanfic, worked more hours than usual at day job-
Also me: Wow I wasn't productive at all I am the slowest and worst artist in the world.

Give folks their flowers

No, I mean right now. Go tell someone you loved their work right now. They're on social media just say it, it has never been easier

"They know how much people love--" no they don't go say it right now to a composer or artist or game dev or writer or anyone AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH

From bravewave.net/interviews/t...

Mo: Do you remember the first time you met someone who said they loved your work on Mega Man 2?

Tateishi: You’re the first, in 2013. No one else has.

Mo: Wow. I’m surprised. I don’t even have a follow-up question… how could no one come up and say something.

Tateishi: …

Mo: Now that you know how big Mega Man 2 is outside of Japan, do you look fondly back at the soundtrack?

Tateishi: Yeah, my thoughts have changed since I met you and became more aware of how people felt. But even when I was at Konami, I didn’t even bother telling anyone I did Mega Man 2. So the fact you came all the way to Japan to tell me these things makes me very happy I worked on the game all those years ago.
