You’d think that after more than a decade of trying Twitter, leaving Twitter, trying Twitter again, and leaving Twitter again…I’d learn to just stop doing it. It’s so unhealthy for me, has brought out my worst self.

I have to figure out a way of getting more interest in my oc stuff without needing to draw as much because I dont have the time or energy to draw as much as I would like, which includes a lot of concepts and/or scenes that are in my head only but can't commit to drawing, but it feels like most people are only interested in visual stuff as opposed to just written stuff (and for good reason, visuals are flashy and all!) It just makes me a little sad that I cant draw and share everything Id like to show, and what I can do most is talk about it, but that barely ever gets responses unfortunately

Stifflip & Co. (Amstrad CPC/ZX Spectrum, Binary Vision, 1987)

Ingenious interwar interepidness awaits in this 8-bit comic-book-style parody adventure, starring four British heroes on a quest in South America to stop an evil genius from using a Rubberizing Ray that can un-starch wind-collars, loosen stiff upper lips, relax moral standards, and worst of all... alter the bouncing of cricket balls!

You can play it in your browser here. The ZX Spectrum version has a second part that requires a password given at the end of the first. You can read the Spectrum version's instruction manual here.

It's going to be a slow work week so I want to open up sketch requests more officially!

But this time I literally mean anything with humanesque characters. I'm a 90s kid and I feel like I am vaguely familiar with pretty much any character from at least shows and movies that you could put in front of me that came out since then and likely a bit earlier

I was afraid that I'd wasted money just to not wait a couple days extra without PC but no the black Friday sales started and my PC is not only not on sale but it's 10€ more 🥰

🎼 your favorite music to draw to right now?

I've been listening to the silent hill 3 & 4 osts to draw for a while now sjfjfkfk but also I've been listening to relaxing enderal ost compilations on ytb for the past couple of days. Pretty nice, chill fantasy vibe

i fucking adore watching interviews with neil newbon where he talks about bg3 and his role as astarion. idk if it's just me but i get swept up by shit like this really easily, and you can see it so easily how much love he has for his role + the game in general. how much love larian has for bg3. it just makes me so !!!! i love it

minor gripe about something in jedi survivor that bugged the crap out of me (spoilers under the cut)

when something along the lines of ‘cal you’re going to get yourself killed if you keep taking on the empire directly’ was said, i could agree with that. but then it’d be followed with something like ‘so you need to stop doing this.’ 

and i think what they were going for was that cal needed to find some damn balance. something more like merrin - it’s not that she stopped fighting the empire during her travels, it just wasn’t the only thing she did, and perhaps not her main focus. 

but half the damn time they made it sound like ‘you’re not going to win this war so stop fighting it.’ and that bugged the absolute shit out of me. 

because we know cal doesn’t win the war. we know 14 or so years later luke’s the one who drags darth vader back to the light and in the process causes the death of the emperor. 

but the characters in jedi survivor cannot possibly know that!!! (the only people that don’t know how star wars goes are the characters living it!!!!!) there’s no reason cal couldn’t be a key person in ending the empire for all they know!!!!!

so i just wish they put a little more emphasis on, ‘we want you to stop fighting like you have a death wish because we care about you cal. and because this war isn’t going to be easily won and you need to pace yourself if you want to see that day.’ NOT ‘time to retire cal it’s not worth fighting the empire because we won’t win soon so let’s just all stick our heads in the sand now we have a safe haven.’

ngl in general i’m not thrilled with the ‘hidden planet the empire will never find us’ thing. it’s unsatisfying and sort of cop-out feeling, for me. i think i would’ve preferred something messier. the empire tracks them through the abyss. cal catches up to bode on nova garon and the compass gets destroyed in their battle. also bode lives because i say so. navigating that would be such a fascinating thing. cal cannot stand him because he directly/indirectly caused the death of the two surviving jedi cal knew. and he helped cal with killing a third. and yet...that means he’s the only other survivor cal knows. they had something, once. is it worth rebuilding? do they go their separate ways and yet inevitably continue crossing paths? do they all stick together and cal and bode fight over how the fuck do they teach a force-sensitive kata, only for kata to be five steps ahead of them and already has merrin teaching her nightsister magick because she doesn’t want to be like either of them? is the way bode convinces everyone he’s changed by going on life-changing field trips with each one of them? 

the possibilities are endless as proven by my constantly growing collection of fic snippets.

I've seen a few of the hyperspecific polls but I wanted to do one with less likely things that I've done but not too obscure that no one gets any.

Option 1: Anyone's but yours. Human. For any reason.

Option 2: Worked at all hours. Different shifts. Different jobs.

Option 3: Castle. You know.

Option 4: To anyone or myself. Fully silent. It wasn't even a condition or anything.

Option 5: One game, adding up full series doesn't count. Or it does, up to you.

Option 6: Intentional. Could be an accident. Could be your own (?).

Option 7: Any edition.

Option 8: What fluency means is up to you.

Option 9: Long vacations, staying over at some friend's place, moving, etc. Just a reasonably "long" period of time and not say, two days.

Option 10: Easy option I suppose?
