I stopped using sticker mule absolute ages ago because of the owner’s bullshit. The owner is still on his bullshit, so if you use sticker mule, maybe don’t. StickerAPP is a good alternative, and also there’s most likely a local sticker printer near you (Sticker Ninja in Portland, for example).
The latest move by Sticker Mule's owner. Please don't give these people your money (or honestly send them your artwork, you never know).

We really see the self-justifying reality manufacture in action when Naughty Dog, a studio that's kept around by a platform holder to make what are essentially aura products for the Sony Playstation, gets described as having a "30 year run of success"
I say this with utmost respect, but Taylor is an absolute tool for saying this privately or publicly.
I can say on good authority that it takes 7 to 10 years to develop game development skills to “good enough” to produce commercial game content. 7-10 years plus the cost of a university education.

Since my Metroid guide was new to a lot of people, I figure I'd reshare my old Hand-Drawn Zelda guide. It's a fully illustrated guide to the first Zelda, complete with dungeon maps, and tied together in a storybook presentation. It's also free!

Some of you have forgotten that only three years ago you were perfectly capable of writing a text, writing an email, telling a bedtime story to a child, and it should worry you that powerful companies have convinced us we can’t do things we’ve been doing since the dawn of time.
