Kramer

Thisssss.

I don't recall a single instance of sexuality being depicted in those games that I could interpret as nuanced or mature.

Fuck Krafton.

Been having a lot of fun making and decorating mixtapes. Here's one i made for @thatkramerguy.bsky.social since he has a kei truck with an actual tape deck.

(No one tell him it’s pronounced “kay” and not “key” - it will ruin him.)

My honest to god first thought

Free Palestine always

This may be the end of the fighting. It certainly won't be the end of the genocide.

Palestinians will need massive amounts of aid as they begin to recover and rebuild. Gazans will still be living in the world's largest open air prison.

Someone's gotta

An appeal for Dreams on a Pillow YouTube video by Rami Ismail

I want to make a personal appeal for the beautiful new game of Palestinian gamedev @rasheedabueideh.bsky.social. As nobody will fund a game about the 1948 Nakba, Rasheed is crowdfunding via launchgood.com/1948. I've been doing production advice on the game pro bono, and it deserves to exist.

Leopards Eating Your Face Party

I present to you: my child.

My neighbour’s 7yo and I are frenemies.

He was apparently very upset that I put my tree up before taking down my Halloween stuff outside (it was raining all week, sue me), so I decided to be a little petty last night and redecorate.

Not gonna lie, I kinda dig it, but I’m really hoping he doesn’t.

The first few times the Gladiator 2 trailer popped up I thought this was Jinkx Monsoon

The concept of doing anything fresh and novel can't even penetrate the marketing departments in Hollywood.

I genuinely think a lot of vocal Destiny (2) players have just spent so long playing it that their only modern point of comparison for GAAS is Destiny, so whenever it's not flawless they think it's deeply flawed since there have been some incredible highs.

I’m not sure I’d say it’s very similar but if you want a kind of grim but humanity-focused spec-fic story I’d recommend ‘How High We Go in the Dark’ 🤙

It’s really dark but ends up really uplifting. Series of short stories around a climate change-instigated plague.

Destiny (2) is just the game (series) that's held me for the longest and given me some of the most transformative experiences I've ever had around gaming or any hobby, really.

I made some lifelong friends, and thankfully no enemies (I think).

The OA | Official Trailer [HD] | Netflix YouTube video by Netflix

'The OA' was the most surprising and refreshing show I've ever seen and I'm genuinely still upset that it was cancelled and that we haven't even gotten a book or a mockumentary about it, because it deserves to be finished.

I shouldn't need to say anything about 'Jurassic Park' but I'll just say the book is also excellent and maybe better, but that's hard to say for sure.

'Manners' was the one that took the longest to pick since I'm a playlist guy, but it's had the most impact on me for the longest time.

How High We Go in the Dark Dr. Cliff Miyashiro arrives in the Arctic Circle to con…

How High We Go in the Dark truly broke me down piece by piece then built me back up to be a slightly different (hopefully better) person:

Introduce yourself with:
One book 📚 — How High We Go in the Dark by Sequoia Nagamatsu
One movie 🎥 — Jurassic Park
One album 💿 — Manners by Passion Pit
One TV show 📺 — The OA (RIP)
One game 🎮 — Destiny 2

I collected a bunch of Vancouver folk into a starter pack. Some I know. Some I don't. BUT they are all creative and cool!

A lot of game dev overlap, but not all folks are devs.

If you're a creative in Vancouver, post a comment or a DM and I'll add you (I might be slow).

This was another fun one

Also trying to plug in digital signals to the mixer overlayed with the visual synth but it’s a bit too much to manage right now, or I need to refine the signal somehow

The basic workflow here is:
1 - visual synth w/ audio in is making the basic geometry, which reacts to the audio’s gain levels
2 - glitch mixer takes in video signal and breaks it a bunch, syncs it back to its original signal, then outputs

It’s not much, but I’ve been experimenting with some visual synth and analog glitch tech lately. Here’s a few of the better things I’ve made (all audio-reactive):

Prettiest Nat 1 I ever did see

That’s sweet!

I’ve been doing tons of research, and also thankful we have a 15 year rule here and not the 25 year rule for imports.

Probably looking at a 2004-2008 Carry, or any sort of turbo after 1995 (just for rust purposes).
