this video was genuinely sickening. at first i thought it was going to be a run-of-the-mill, artsy video essay with mediocre research, but i was unfortunately oh-so wrong

The skull trumpet video was so weird to watch. Like, the subject matter is cool, and the web sleuthing aspect of it is cool as well, but when it turned to "I needed to stalk this dead woman and all of her relatives just to let her know that I found her because of a gif she made back on 1999 and even after learning of her passing I'm going to keep harassing the person who answered, even though I have their address and I was about to send someone to their house, without thinking about the possibility of that being an invasion of privacy" it just weirded me out. No amount of "self awareness" and admitting that what you did is actual stalking makes that behavior okay. Even less so fantasizing about you receiving an autograph and being so cool because you brought obscure internet culture to a woman that would be probably in her 60's that posted some random ass gifs 30 years ago. Like imagine doing some random beep booping on the internet and then being chased down like that, your name and your loved ones' info being put out and blasted on YouTube for clout and the "privilege of unearthing info that no one else has ever gotten before". Maybe the reason it was never released is because you'd have to do intensive research on someone who wasn't a public figure, and that MAYBE IDK is stalking. If the people you tried to reach didn't answer, why did you feel it would be a good idea to text them again and again, call them, have someone else call them again, email them multiple times, search up everyone related and with a similar last name, LOOK UP THEIR ADDRESS and even THINK going to their home for DOOT SKELETON. And then the audacity to make half of the video about how hard you worked to get all this information, and oh Lord incredible you, you unearthed the personal info of someone else for a meme.

I don't think anyone's life is better after learning where doot skeleton came from.

Solidus: "... (he mutters something. Mouth movement only. Leave the dying words up to the users' imagination)"

probably the most famous trivia for MGS2 revolves around all the content cut due to the aftermath of 9/11.

a lot of people think that extends to Solidus Snake's final words before he dies. many folks believe that before censorship, the script, and by extension, the game, contained some final words that may have even been fully voice acted.

in reality, there was nothing. it was always meant to be a moment where we, the players, try to imagine what he might have said. the storyboard above (and the text excerpt) is from "The Document of MGS2", an interactive disc that includes the WIP translation, character models, etc. for the game. if you're a fan of MGS2, especially its aesthetic, i highly recommend you explore it. its got a ton of content to just watch, read, listen, or generally mess around with.

My product photography work, from 2019-2020

All shot on compact digicams! It’s fascinating how my PS1 memory card photo made rounds on the internet, particularly “aesthetic” instagrams.

What with bucket hats, bare midriffs, and flared jeans having been resurrected by some irresponsible necromancer with frosted tips, I figure there’s no better time to resurrect some of my favorite Y2K fonts. I typically only see the same three or four pop up in discussions on the subject, so maybe this will be helpful to nostalgic designers. Click though for links.
