the idea phase is the easiest and least valuable part of professional creativity. read the first draft of the first Star Wars if you doubt me Great art is made in the grinding, often miserable collision between the ethereal substance of an idea and the mud and blood and friction of reality

Played the demo last night... it's Like Dark Souls™️! The new whip movement abilities are REALLY smooth and fun. Nothing in the demo blew me away so much that I wouldn't just finally play Hollow Knight or replay Dread though. Looking forward to getting this when I have any spending money at all lol

🍀 My debut original song "LUCKY" is out TOMORROW! Thx 4 caring 💚 linktr.ee/downbaddad Presaves preorders and Tshirts! Preorders and tshirts include some downloads of varying rarities 👀

I love when apps mimic their CEOs, today one asked me to share all photos for no good reason whatsoever just to see if it could get me, and I said no and it just closed / crashed immediately as if it was pouting abt not being allowed to harvest me

can I get my maladaptive coping mechanisms WITHOUT the shame? or can you at least put the shame in a little to-go cup on the side? thanks

Social media has made people way too comfortable with essentially surveillance of others Just cuz it's public doesn't mean you belong here

“how do we win back trump voters in 2026” we don’t. we create an environment where admitting to voting for trump is so socially embarrassing as to render them completely inert. you don’t “win back” trump voters. you demoralize them into staying home. you make it a dunce cap

I am actually in love w photobashing stuff that i design and print out myself experimenting with really low DPIs and tiny text and printing in "draft" mode introduces a lot of printer-level chaos that ends up looking rly organic (this is all barely edited photographs, except the solitaire cards)

Taking extremely close-up photos of my printer doing its best GenAI (ironically) could never do something so simple lol

I think Smash bros is a pocket universe / simulation created by Rosalina to contain Kirby and keep him occupied. Unlimited Godkiller enrichment, basically

STOP powerscaling kirby he's just a little boy. he's just a boy. the world is so big and he's just a little boy. leave him alone

I think my singer-songwriter project is hitting a positive feedback loop very soon, or maybe it already has. I feel purpose and momentum

Maybe this is a new era of not tolerating rent-seeking behavior from capitalists in our midst. Maybe that's what I'm loud about now

I made a new friend traveling on a train this year, who had been obsessed with my Tem Shop remix, specifically on YouTube, since they were 12 years old. They're 22 now. We got seated next to each other purely by chance. I felt very, very grateful. Thank you Toby for paving the way with kindness.

Whatever is happening right now is not on that path Toby paved, imo Two men fighting for control of something that was given freely and meant to be for everyone. Regardless of who is "right" I don't see this as a win. I see it as the death knell of an old, shitty way of thinking.

Fuck copyright. Fuck capitalists. It's really that simple and it isn't negotiable anymore. And I know some really nice folks who are keeping track of names so I don't have to. Be cool. Be excellent to each other ✌️

I have mixed feelings about escapism, and being a producer / provider of it I guess all I can say right now is: if you consume my content and witness my emotion and communication pouring out at you, I hope it can be an ANIMATING force for you, not just a comfort I like my job, but it is going away

Strategically staying in the closet so I can jump out with a weapon, thus retaining the element of surprise

Truth is painful, but liberating for the spirit. This is why abusers can't stand it and are doomed to inner turmoil

It's so funny seeing a who's-who of successful, talented, influential peers and contemporaries from my scene liking my posts and showing solidarity with my takes on the MC / GC situation like, anyone who matters will never take them seriously and they can't fucking stand it lol

Ok I've lost track of him entirely, but I know my fear can remain irrational longer than his lifeforce can remain solvent
