Mina the Hollower has been delayed from its Oct 31st release. "This isn’t a major delay, it’s just a stretch of time to apply some final polish and balancing to make the game truly shine."

AI is a solution to a problem that doesn't exist. If you use it anywhere in your life, I genuinely worry that you might forget to breathe if someone didn't remind you.

the future is so bright it hurts my eyes

No greater pleasure than working with like-minded, talented, funny, and charming artists. 2024 made 15 years since I started with Titmouse and I hope I'm lucky enough to keep working with such fine artists and even finer people!

Forever grateful that Chris and Shannon took a chance on me!

I'd love a reboot that honors that style. I feel like grungy 70s animation is a lost artform but it has a lot of appeal!

I had these too! Super charming and everyone was just a little snarky or had a big attitude in a way that's just not done anymore.

You'd have seen it in season 2.

I've been thinking of selling my Gundam sticker designs as prints, minus text. I'll have them at the next show I do (SCGMC in November) and I'll probably put them up on my INPRNT shop. Who's interested?

Fucking gorgeous!

Watch the movie. It's a masterwork for a reason.

The irony being, of course, that while they've "always been the caretaker here," it's not in their best interest.

They end up, like Jack, LITERALLY out in the cold.

Don't drink the intoxicating liquor of supremacy, folks. It's poison. You don't need to be the caretaker.

Every time I watch The Shining, I'm sadder and sadder about it's continuing relevance.

So many in this country view themselves as caretakers and of a legacy that ultimately drives a wedge between them and their families and anyone they view as needing to be "corrected."

My favorite thing is when an old crew member texts me "Hey, I got a Mao Map episode premise!"

And I have to say, "We stopped making that 5 years ago."

And they just go, "Whatever. Ok, so in THIS one--"

I think about this one exec from Takara who was in this documentary about toys from the 80s. He insists the franchise has staying power because the core characters are so relatable. And he just lists their names with brief descriptions. He gets to Bee:

"Bumblebee... Sweet boy."
