Haven't gotten a binder for my Final Fantasy MTG cards yet, but I did decorate my deck box a lil

A blue card box, with the art of Terra and that catgirl from the mtg ff card packaging glued on

The card box, opened, showing that the art has been layered so it looks nice and seamless

doodle strategy: random pose from clip studio assets + pickle inspector + a dumb face

a humanized version of pickle inspector, kneeling, half in shadow. he's shaded in black and yellow. he looks to his right, disconcerted by something.

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.

Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing?
2? Questions
I was watching some old shows from the 90s and noticed people would just dial numbers from memory - like they'd call their friends or family without looking anything up.
Made me wonder if that was actually normal back then? Did people genuinely have all their important numbers memorized, or did most folks keep a little address book or written list nearby?

btw if you're wondering why the comic of gilgamesh hasn't updated on webtoon. it's because i can't fucking log in rn. the website's been increasingly broken for me and now i can't get in. anyway in the meantime the comic is still updating on schedule at gilgamesh.thecomicseries.com

Give folks their flowers

No, I mean right now. Go tell someone you loved their work right now. They're on social media just say it, it has never been easier

"They know how much people love--" no they don't go say it right now to a composer or artist or game dev or writer or anyone AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH

Murlin @murlin.bsky.social · Sep 29

From bravewave.net/interviews/t...

Mo: Do you remember the first time you met someone who said they loved your work on Mega Man 2?

Tateishi: You’re the first, in 2013. No one else has.

Mo: Wow. I’m surprised. I don’t even have a follow-up question… how could no one come up and say something.

Tateishi: …

Mo: Now that you know how big Mega Man 2 is outside of Japan, do you look fondly back at the soundtrack?

Tateishi: Yeah, my thoughts have changed since I met you and became more aware of how people felt. But even when I was at Konami, I didn’t even bother telling anyone I did Mega Man 2. So the fact you came all the way to Japan to tell me these things makes me very happy I worked on the game all those years ago.
