how'd we do last year? pretty good, i'd say, even if this is nowhere near a "winning" board. feeling good about it!

if i had just made a list of like 5 resolutions, i would've ended up only doing maybe 1 or 2 and felt shitty.

making a bingo board and doing like 9 of them has me going "hell yeah"🤘

just got back from this with the bear - another park chan-wook BANGER.

surprised to learn that this was an adaptation, but park and his cowriters definitely leave their imprint.

the whole thing is solid, but there's one scene in particular that floored me. i was legit HOWLING in the theater.

do i have a ton of hours in hades 2 already despite that? yes, but

it's a weird choice! at least eh art that i think works better with this design has more poses where the figure is on their "tiptoes" (i.e. hooves) to give the impression of digitigrade limb posture - like the art you pointed out, or rhys the exiled, or safehold elite

reminds me of that old "how different people draw men" post by humon from deviantart waaaay back in the day

which, like, is not really accurate and is missing a lot (i'm pretty sure there are nightwing covers out there drawn by women), but this picture is still seared in my brain since i was a teen
December 11, 2025 at 5:38 PM
i saw that cover and was immediately like "oh, it's one of these guys!"

actual reaction when carlos sent me the sketch for this:

like, there's a bakery called "gregory's" that uses eta to represent both the "e" and "y" parts of that name?

there's a store called "ΣΚΛΑΒΕΝΙΤΗΣ" which is fine except that on their own trucks, they use the english "i" for both iota and eta??

and upsilon can be both "u" AND "y" in the same word???

OH FUCK THEY TICKLE

i ended up making this fucking monstrosity my signature cocktail at the wedding, and it was everything i hoped for:

the bartenders were wondering aloud "why is he having us make this", and the people who ordered it did so while saying "i'm not a coward"

i legit think it's kinda awesome that freddy fucking fazbear is on soda cans tbh

also, as if the BALATRO-clone about being a landlord that gio mentioned wasn't already crazy enough (eviction DLC!), the steam store page for it has this incredible screenshot showing off the game's "lore":

that you are trying to impress an "AI version of your dad".

i had the same revelation when i started shaving my head - "now i get to wear hats" and also "now i HAVE TO wear hats" lol

early on i was big into pub caps/flat caps, but if you wanna cover your ears, get a neat beanie (without too much room on top)

i guess my main point of comparison is SILENT HILL HOMECOMING, where this early scene from the first section of the game essentially reveals half of the "twist" that the game only confirms for you immediately before the final boss fight.

the monsters don't really take much part in the drama, there.
September 29, 2025 at 7:06 PM
one thing i've been enjoying about SILENT HILL F is that it doesn't treat the metaphorical nature of its horrors as a late-game reveal.

for me, at least, this helps dissuade me from cynically trying to guess what the "twist" is (as much), and lets me get more invested in the drama of the story.

i mean, MAN this is cool shit
September 28, 2025 at 6:28 AM
as much as i adore silent hill's trademark rust-and-wire-and-orange-and-blood aesthetic, and masahiro ito's inspired monster design ethos from SH2, i am really stoked by how different SHf looks, while still feeling "silent-hill-y".

the angels on my shoulder are always exasperated, and the devil's haven't even bothered to show up to work for years
September 27, 2025 at 9:06 PM
i think i've returned to that stage of childhood where i was just mixing together everything i could find in the kitchen
September 27, 2025 at 8:43 PM
a new horizon...
September 27, 2025 at 8:27 PM
unsurprisingly, silent hill f is immediately blowing me away with its music.

the throat-singing in the combat soundtrack is such a delight!

and i'm as in love with this floral horror as i was from the early trailers.

this fact about theropod wrists is well-known to dedicated paleoartists, but not really known outside of dino fans.

so when i saw Chase Stone's drawing of a dragon whose forelimbs had palms facing inwards, looking like they COULDN'T pronate (like a theropod!), i just KNEW the guy drew dinos a lot 😍
