Not this year. I’ll deal with the #Superbowl and the inevitable US political, orange Nazi meltdown in the morning.

Goodnight 😴🏈

A few shots from this mornings #ArcRaiders adventure. Honestly one of the best designed games I’ve played in years.

Edited via IPhone 16 The towering six legged Queen Arc has spotted someone in the Exofuel disused gas station. She powers up her laser as Wolfpack rockets fly towards her. Taken in-game via the binocular item. Edited via IPhone 16 Against a blue sky, the main tower of the Disused hydroelectric Dam towers above. Rusting pipework and green foliage surround the tower.

SHE’S FINISHED! My 5-foot-long Enterprise D oil painting is complete after nearly 100 hours of work!

I remember being 13 years old or so and trying to draw her and it was so hard, and all I wanted was to be able to do something like this. Truly a dream come true. 🥰🖖

I’ve had this playing all night. It’s been absolutely what I’ve needed to get well and truly immersed in my work. Best OST I’ve heard in ages. Big, brutal, grand and full of atmosphere. Amazing 🤩 #Menace #ScottBuckley

That #WinterOlympic “animation” was almost certainly GenAI. Another organisation corrupted by the evil slush. Ironic, an event built on human endeavour, being advertised by an evil machine. Pointless.
