Oh, what a day! I went to a convention not knowing what to expect, only to come out meeting not only Officer Jenny @quicklee.bsky.social , but also the International Officer @mickles.bsky.social, Looker! What a poetic surprise! Thank you two for the wonderful conversations!

I picked up a fairly cheap haori inspired by my OC this year. I really like wearing it. Well. Haoris aren't really suited for winter, so I wondered about a Hanten. So, I looked them up, and then the price had me reconsider really quickly! Maybe another time.

I've been enjoying that Legends ZA actually takes the time to introduce characters before we battle them, and they're even brought back in some later arcs. The new characters have standout designs and personalities. Gwynn remains my favorite character thus far in the ZA cast.

My feed has been absolutely invaded by Kasane Teto and I adore it. I didn't expect Project Voltage would led me to re-discovering a taste for Vocaloid music again after ten years.

I enjoyed PAX East earlier this year. It had a fantastic curation of panels, exhibitors, and more. I had an idea for my own panel while attending one, which I'll be applying to host soon!
This post might be useful to @grantkirkhope.bsky.social! I'm unsure you've been contacted already. Cheers!

The Looker Bureau having the music of an 80's cop movie mixed with Emma's lament and Looker's encounter music absolutely sent me. Just seeing a picture of Looker and Mimi on the wall had me melting. GameFreak, please! I need to see Looker again! PLEASE.

An elderly janitor I chat with at work absolutely made my day this week. He asked about my career plans, and I got super enthusiastic about my dreams regarding content creation. His well wishes on pursuing those dreams are making me smile still.

I've seen this cute little animation several times since it was posted. It has successfully put a smile on my face every time!

Finally, new video out now on my YouTube channel!
It discusses the origins of Nintendo's logos - specifically how the lettering in them evolved, and reveals the closest typeface to Nintendo's kanji logo.
Seeing as I'm starting up videos again, sharing around much appreciated!

I've struggled to focus on the next video. So, I’ll give myself some pressure. Next week I’ll be working on the next videos live on Twitch at 19:00 CST! This is a one-off back-to-back streams, just to help jump start the production. See you all tomorrow! www.twitch.tv/derektriforc...

Just finished watching this; it's a fun duel episode between Which Ninja & Yōkai Hunters. Gaijin makes a connection with Gyarados that adds an extra layer to the inspiration behind the famous shiny form that feels so spot on.
From Team Rocket's base in Mahogany Town, to the raging Red Gyarados, I found what could be the Japanese cultural origins of BOTH! www.youtube.com/watch?v=_DRW...

There's a new video releasing today! I did a lot of creative experimentation with this one. One of my favorite experiments was the "psudo-outro," by @daryltalksgames.bsky.social. The pacing and music usage was also a point of interests. Oh, and it's the first official video featuring Erica!

Awesome sauce!
After a very long period of burnout, I feel like I've got my creative spark back. The drive to make videos. And it feels so good.
New video is 90% done. Coming very soon (hopefully).

The video is still a work in progress! In the meantime, I would like to give a mention to @siquesis.bsky.social, who drew up this chibi version of my original character Erica. This will be my profile picture across various socials presently!

I'm happy that I can finally share my original character! Meet Erica, my PNG avatar/mascot. This adorable design was brought to life by @joppobarno.bsky.social, and I'm excited to see what future creativity awaits with Erica! We'll see you all in the next video planned for this month!

I learned a new technique today for thumbnails; perspective! I thought this wasn't an option in my chosen image editor. It turns out is both an option and easy to understand as well! An amazing small creative win. Here’s my first proper attempt on a thumbnail for @jakethesnake233.bsky.social.

Left the other app a while ago and was quite content with keeping as few traditional social media services as possible. But…turns out it's really difficult to keep contact with other creatives, and YT community posts are quite limited! I've heard Bluesky was a good alternative, so, hello Bluesky.
