After weeks of teasing, I'm very excited to officially show you all:
Gameplay of Calico Wilder!
I've been working with @waveparadigm.com, @littlenorwegians.bsky.social, and some friends to build the first of Calico's adventures, and I'm super thrilled with how it's coming along!

“I can generate a book in a day and it takes you six months to write one, so I win the race” is one the most pathetic takes I’ve seen today.
If you “generated” a book, you’re not competing in the same race, league, or sport as writers. Playing with Legos doesn’t make you better than an architect.

You can also microwave cold sausage in a minute, that doesn't mean it'll come out with any flavor or ACTUALLY taste satisfying.
Writing isn't a race, it's a process. It's a labor of love & creativity that puts a part of you into the result. All a machine puts into anything is soulless trash.

Nothing quite like chatting about books with a friend over a cup of tea.
I felt like commissioning another Maribelle art piece, this time with @pamjamelia.bsky.social's OC Lola as well!
Thank you @sunrisemax.bsky.social for the comm! ^^

So despite my focus on Calico, I do actually have other OCs unrelated to him.
For example, this here is Maribelle!
She's a timid, soft-spoken but friendly lady who works at her local library, and is a bit of a bookworm herself (her favourite genres are Classic Fantasy and Detective Mystery).

Been playing through Split Fiction with one of my sisters lately, and it makes me *really* glad I didn't put the games in my GOTY 2025 video in a ranked order.
Because I'd be kicking myself for missing out on putting this near the top, *this game is sick*.

It's become something of a tradition for me to rewatch The Prince of Egypt around my birthday.
Just finished so for this year, still a fantastic movie.

I just heard YouTube's AI auto-dubbing for the first time (I didn't even turn it on intentionally, YouTube automatically set it on for a video I was watching that had Japanese audio).
That sounded horrible.

It's 2003 and you're playing a lost 3D platformer in your PS2 in a CRT TV.
Or maybe it's just 2026 and you are playing Cosmo Vulpes using ShaderGlass.
Anyway, what do you think about it? Did it gave that nostalgic look?
