I do a lot of dumb secret things that I don’t tell people about but when I got my full wall print for my game art, I hung it over my desk behind me and fucking cried. By then I’d already finished the story so I knew its weight and journey. It means the world to me

it's an insane feeling to have characters you've created stuck to your computer or hanging up on your wall

gonna try and drop another teaser video this week for the next v17 environment. still got an annoying cough from being sick over last weekend so gimme a few more days so i can consistently talk a little better. Stuff's done tho

Aaryn @aarynstr8.bsky.social · 27d

Seven Samurai is solid. i actually just watched it about a year ago and for the length, it has a much faster tempo than i was expecting but i wouldn't call it popcorn.

Ip Man is one of my favs. they progressively get less great but the first one is a comfort movie for me

Pretty detailed article giving you a glimpse into how stretched indie game developers are now and why we've had to resort to sharing articles like this and begging supporters to continue to put pressure on his massive censorship campaigns.

yeah, there's a lot of setup in Begining and honestly your take as it being a "critic" movie holds some merit. i'm pretty flexible when it comes to anything in that genre/era tho. we dont get a much so i'll take anything i can get

Aaryn @aarynstr8.bsky.social · 29d

yeah, it's def the slowest of them i think but i think it worked for the content it was covering too. at this point, i sorta view the entire set as one big movie

Australians, spread this petition far and wide. Demands Parliament “open anti-trust investigations and penalize the unregulated monopoly of a key part of everyday infrastructure,” as “payment processors are not there to regulate what legal content people consume.”

Petition EN7799 - Stop VISA and
MASTERCARD from dictating access to Legal Content.
Petition Status
The petition is currently open for signatures
OPEN

一雪一〇
PRESENTED RESPONDED
Petition Reason
VISA and MASTERCARD control the payment processor market, in a monopoly, that is not regulated in the least. These companies openly dictate access to services, sales, or operations, of legal items, or legal businesses, based on their own political views. Credit Card Processors should only be there to process legal transactions, and not dictate what someone spends their money on. VISA and MASTERCARD are so big and control a market that can be equated to a utility. There are no alternatives widely available in the market, despite these companies acting as a key part of all payment infrastructure. just like water companies or electricity providers are regulated to prevent them from stopping service based on arbitrary views,
VISA and MASTERCARD should be held to the same standard.
