Ugh, it's the middle of the night but I just had an idea of how to expand the Smash Time Stories site and I wish I could just do that right now. Guess I'll toy with it this week.

I am b e g g i n g people to mask up at major cons, *especially* ones with 5-digit crowd sizes!! Lightbox this weekend was absolutely ravaged; I’m hearing of SO many attendees and exhibitors who got sick from doing the show this year!! Please stay safe out there! 🙏 🙏

Okay, I really like skateboarding in Switch Sports Resort. Gotta play it more, but it's nice to be able to explore the island from the ground level. It looked like it'd be awkward to control, but it was pretty easy. Prop Plane is as fun as it was on the Wii.

I think it's beautiful when art effects people so deeply they'll go to these lengths to try to save a particular project, I just wish we had any kind of organized body for creative workers across industries that could funnel this energy into actually supporting the people who created the art

Does it need to be said that Mass Effect shouldn’t exist without the developers and team that was working on this game? Either they come back and make the game they were, or Mass Effect dies. kotaku.com/mass-effect-...

I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

Didn't realize DC X Sonic: Metal Legion had wrapped up. Just read issue #5. Yeah man this crossover was peak. The first one was alright, but Metal Legion is soooo good dude.

Not only an incredible talent, but a rare talent who also thought it was funny to just voice random memes every once in a while

Unbelievable loss. An amazing talent, and just a really, really good person. www.instagram.com/p/De8RFy4pyov/

During the brazilian elections we learned one obvious but important tactic to defeat the far right on the Internet and I think everyone should know it: IGNORE THEM! DON'T ENGAGE WITH THEIR CONTENT! DON'T MAKE CONTENT REACTING TO THEM! DON'T HATE QRT! LET THEM ALONE IN THEIR BUBBLE!

Congrats to Lula on overcoming Mark Zuckerberg and Donald Trump to defeat Hospital Pervert Jr., even as his opposition literally blocked off roads and turned off bus service during election day. Fascists are scary but they are always, 100% of the time, ultimately gigantic fucking losers.

We've cooked up some special items to celebrate Gameoverse's greenlight! Such as this large Kit & Kaboodle statue on a special translucent console + a full body kit pin!

A bit late, but finally watched DBS Beerus ep 2. God, they really nailed the Goku VS Beerus fight. I feel like this episode alone justified the remaster. They took what was once a mess and made it into a damn good episode.

GOOD life lessons learned from gamedev: - Savagely hacking down scope is the fastest and most effective way to make an awesome product - Limitations make you do your job better - A button or seam in the right place is all you need to turn a character from garbage to fuckable

Life lessons from gamedev: - Your opinion doesn't matter - Nobody cares if you want to make a good product - Defining a process/workflow makes you an enemy - Job descriptions are for team players - Fidelity trumps quality - Well-designed clothing on characters is superfluous

Gonna be very curious how it does. I've liked what I've played so far, and it absolutely feels like a course correction after Switch Sports. And like, Switch Sports was already a secret hit on the Switch. People dismiss it, but like... it outsold Splatoon 3 by a fair bit, iirc.

I doubt it'll do *as* well out the gate, given it's on a more expensive system. But having it on the Switch 2 barely a year in? Dude, it's gonna have some legs.

Okay so like, I played DK64 for the first time this year. Played it vanilla, 101%'d it because I genuinely really enjoyed it. It gets too much hate. 64 is shorter so I'm more likely to replay it. BUT, revisiting Bananza for the DK Challenge made me realize how much I love it. It rules.

Is this the most brave video title ever made?

THAT SAID I really do feel more people need to re-evaluate DK64. I avoided it for years because of the reputation it built up. Oh no it's the game that's so packed with collectibles that it "killed" a whole genre, it needs a mod to be good no No it's just a good game.

We're so excited to bring this show to a full season! Thank you for all your support. 💛

Yeah, so stream didn't end up happening. Started working on a 2nd, cleaned-up pass of boards for The Witch's Trial and lost track of time. Oh well. Definitely gonna do an art stream in the next few days. Either to get these renders done, or for Witch's Trial animation, or just more comic work.

Want to get this 2nd pass done in the next week or so. Once it's ready, this pre-production phase can finally end. Hardest parts, the stuff that I got stuck on, are all done at this point. Just want to get things refined a bit, with the finalized designs worked in.

using out-of-context freeze frames, animation smears or blurry, zoomed-in screenshots as examples of "bad animation" is a good way to ensure I never take any of your art or animation opinions seriously again
