But I guess it's a sacrifice I'm willing to make just to have that experience with her haha

Man, my gf showed some interest in it right before it released, so I made the compromise of finishing a single run on my own, and then re-do that first run with her AND THEN get to all the new game + stuff, and I'm fucking DYING to see more because we just don't have that much time to play together

Thing is, you can be putting out incredible work and it never gets seen by the right people - it just takes one set of eyeballs in the right place and that then gets the ball rolling. You're clearly good to work with and you do great work and word of that spreads. You just need that first push.

And no I will never get over Rikiya.

Seeing Yokoyama being like "We changed Kiryu's look and outfit because his Y3 look was the least popular within the team because of *Proceeds to list reasons why that version of Kiryu was fucking cool*" is painful lol

Man, Kiwami 3 is being my first time experiencing the process of going from the original game to Kiwami, and I'm not liking the experience AT ALL lol. Just make the game feel better to play, fix the story pacing a bit and add some cool extra content, but don't touch the few charms that game had!!!

Thanks a lot 💜 It's just crazy because I genuinely could've never imagined myself being in this position. After like, 10 years of trying to love a dream that didn't love me back, it's almost like I fell into this and everything just clicked and rolled and I still can't fully believe it lol

You're always too nice and I think I will never fully be able to believe that (Even tho I love a lot of my work) because the fucking whiplash going from being ignored by strangers and feeling like my art was shit and no one liked it to now be praised by people I love & respect will always feel crazy

It will never stop being so fucking surreal that not only some of my fav wrestlers think of me & come directly to me to design for them, I can literally be like "Hope to see you in Manchester!" and they get back to me like hell yeah that would be awesome.

Like, what the hell. How did I make it here

And it makes more sense because I *AM* Kato, Don isn't Hechicero, but it's a funny think so we'll just let him have it and keep going with it lol

Decent but could never be as good as Mel doing that, the rest I'm sure I could find the way to be a bit of a nuisance to Don's enemies lol

Listen, I'll never fault someone for trying to naively err to the side of hoping that people have the best intentions.

But this wasn't people, it was an openly fascist company named in a sexual trafficking lawsuit and you have to actively play dumb to trust that kind of people lol

Side eyeing the folk who tried to say it was a good thing. Folk who should have known better.

Oh wow, the WWE ID programme was a boatload of absolutely nothing that went nowhere and all it did was keep a bunch of wrestlers away from the attention of competitors and giving them a false feeling of future safety?

Who could've known, huh

Maybe I should stop trying to get back to AEW through merch designing and just apply for the Don Callis family. I'm spanish, I guess that might give me some extra points too.

Wishing a very happy birthday and speedy recovery to The Switchblade Jay White, and showing you yet another design I made a few months back and never saw the light of day, but I thought was really cool!

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

It would be awesome if he saw this and we managed to make it real somehow! But meanwhile, thanks a lot for all the great words, I'm SO happy you like it so much 🫶🏻

A few months back now I was approached with a proposition that could've been really cool, but sadly just fell through and never happened.

What did happen tho, were these two designs, that I'm now showing you because I thought it'd be sad to never share with the world! 🤼
