Friday was my last day at Valve.
Leaving a job full of people and projects you love is always hard, but I have a pretty good reason for it this time around:
Next Monday is my first day at Cyan.
Feels appropriate to announce this on Riven's anniversary, the game that is entirely to blame for who I am as a concept artist and Art Director. WHO WOULD I EVEN BE if I hadn't had my 11yo mind blown by the little wahrk gallows counting toy in the Rivenese schoolhouse??? It's a mystery.
I can’t talk about what's on the horizon just yet—short of helping to get Riven out the door—but I’m thrilled to finally be a part of this studio, officially, after thirty years of wistful pining. If my ancient Riven fanart is anything to go by, it's been a long time comin.'😎
#cyan#myst#riven#valve#from one iconic 90's game studio to another#I have a type#I'm sure a lot of you follow me on here for my fandom stuff#(and probably a fair number of you don't even know what I do professionally)#but suffice to say this is a BIG OL' DREAM COME TRUE for baby Claire (and adult Claire)

i dont think enough people know about the scrapped chastity belt cosmetic for heavy. but it is a thing that exists
#tf2#heavy tf2#it appeared on the venture brothers x tf2 ad#and then presumably got scrapped#the model was leaked on the last big valve leak

Silver and Silver II fixing my espresso machine
(photographers note: don't try this at home and don't let your beanies try either.)
#beanie babies#plush#beanie photography#beanie baby photography#the repair was a success tho. and now we are making espresso again#yeah the point of an espresso machine is to pressurize hot water. you don't want your high pressure boiling water machine to get messed up#just like. don't let that be your first small electronics repair it's not that big of a deal tho#i replaced the over pressure valve and it kinda sucked but what can i say espresso machines are expensive

Let me know your thoughts in the reblogs <3

#really just want to see agni (and grace) being cool 😳 if that's not obvious enough#忠 on hatz's back means loyal#the sky is filled with shinsu loops (inspired by water dragon heavy storm technique but less destructive in exchange for wider range)#also if you haven't connected the dots yet. grace and jinsung are having a spar somewhere. and Agni is keeping it inside a massive barrier#he set up the barrier with shinsu devices ofc. not purely Agni's power. we can see him doing some typing there since he controls it#Also I forget if i have it written on future chapter or discarded it on this update script. but just in case i don't. here's an explanation#the barrier was meant to keep the chaos inside to stay inside. but because the shinsu on lower floors aren't as concentrated as upper floor#and shinsu inside the barrier was condensed with Grace's power. If the barrier was completely blocked off it'd be easy to suffocate inside#so they need the outside shinsu to be able to cross inside or Agni wouldn't be able to stay inside. Thus I imagine it like a one way valve#it's easy to cross from the outside but hard to get out without deactivating the barrier. and that was why Hatz was trapped#Laure on the prev chpt must've noticed that the flow of shinsu got siphoned somewhere and thus the 'something is wrong' feeling#but no one else notice bc it'd prob feel like a passing breeze. considering with how big a floor is#tower of god#tog#two sides of the same coin comic#my comic#my art#khun#koon#khun a.a#khun aguero agnis#hatz#rak wraithraiser#rak

Never forgiving Valve for giving Engineer the most in-depth and story-relevant backstory, having him be the grandfather of the creator of the life-extender machines, the son of the TFC Engineer, and establishing a key connection between the Conaghers and Elizabeth/Helen/Mann family, only to then relegate him to a supporting character, have him appear for only 10 pages in the main comics, and then never say or do anything
#sp-rambles#tf2#tf2 engineer#I get it Soldier is the funny goofy haha guy but VALVE PLEASE THE OTHER MERCS EXIST#Literally Soldier is like the main character of these comics with how much he pops up and is relevant#Demo and Engie get shafted so much those guys deserved so much better#Heavy too#How many of those gags about Soldier being an idiot could've been spent on something related to Engie or Demo#Demo ain't even got his own comic his biggest break is in War! and he doesn't get some big iconic moment everyone likes#Justice for the Defense team I love them too much for them to be treated like this#Engie probably would've done *something* in comic 7 but let's be honest that thing's never coming out#Mostly pissed he's just oftentimes the straight-man supporting character in the comics and whatever#Loose Cannon was great I liked that bit with him being zapped by electricity and still treatening Blutarch#But othertimes he just???? Isn't really a character?????#Teething and biting at my enclosure as I continue to go back to writing fanfic about loosely defined characters

The games been bot-free for a few months now. At worst I've run into a few closet cheaters.
I won't spend a dime on the game till at least a year has passed, but the game's playable. #FixTF2 did what it needed to. It feels super weird to say, but the game is essentially fixed. You can queue into casual without expecting a lobby full of bots spewing gross and hateful shit in the chat (now its just the bottom scoring scout doing that, though with a significant lack of cheats).
For now I'll be enjoying the game to the fullest.
#fixtf2#to the bot hosters: 🫵😂🖕🤣#also to the ppl who had gripes abt fixtf2#i see 2 big critiques#A) so what/now what/who cares#i do bc now i can play the viddy game :) yippie#B) the tf2bers that arranged it did it for clout#tge tf2bers arranging it were already big within the tf2 sphere#they essentially used their already big reach to spread the petition and outcry at valves neglience as much as possible#getting followers is probably only a bonus compared to having the game they base their livelyhood on back to normal#ive seen people say community servers would have been fine#imo as long as valve makes money off the game they need to maintain the servers we play on#its f2p but people still use money on the game#and its worth noting that the cosmetics and maps that are released every update are community made#aka valve makes money off the community. aka they profit from our hard work and passion.#aka if they neglect the game the way they did it sends the message that they are willing to exploit the passion we have for tf2 for money#they are doing this w CS2 as well and they got it even worse#so yeah uh i want it fixed obv cus i wanna play#but i alsi will be damned if ill let a mega corpo exploit the people they wring money out of#ima fix the typos in the tags later lol

huegehgshhgeehu big slappy
#tf2#tf2 scout#scout tf2#shitpost#big slappy#i fucking love the big slappy image so much you have no idea#it's so unbelievably silly#look at him go wee haha!!! heeheehoohoo#ignore the headset that may or may not be missing i forgot which side of scout's head it's on#also the duffel bag. didnt feel like drawing it#he was off duty ok#this is him joyously going to a date with miss pauling and/or sniper#also while drawing his pants i thought about that one really funny tf2 fact that came out around the leaks#which is that the blu scout's pants have been the wrong colour for like the entire lifespan of the game up to that point#because whoever was doing the textures forgot to enable the correct colour layer and no one noticed for over a decade#classic valve#honestly i think blu scout looks good with the brown pants. i dunno there's just something about it-#-that tickles the ''cool colours'' part of my brain#it might be a jon arbuckle thing for me because he had brown pants in gaf and i just think that combo looks nice#i like it!!#anyway. slap him on the ass
