I will spend days racking my brain for the perfect one-liner high concept, and then something like this drops. Not remotely fair. youtu.be/OCq_X-VvPtA?...

got a bit carried away with this piece but I feel like that's appropriate @hbomberguy.bsky.social

When I was a newborn I saved up and bought my own basket. We all did. This generation just wants a handout

Here are my top 10 summer dogs of all time!

I am having a hard time posting about comics and goofy Cyclops jokes right now. Love to everyone, will post more when it feels okay.

Kiddo has been playing captain toad, and shes been doing amazing, but shes also developed the cutest lingo. When toad runs out of lives, it flashes a ‘game over’ screen, and her not being able to read yet sadly yells “MOM I TURNED INTO LETTERS” 😭

Um, actually, we've got some critiques on the treatment of Black characters in House of The Dragons...

WE MADE 20K!!!! Thank you everyone!

Damn Final Fantasy Tactics was spitting facts in ‘97

Yeah. Me, too. Again, it was never meant to be about one incident, it was that there was a TROPE that was being used so much it became a cliche. People were trying to stick Watchmen and Dark Night level shock and violence in books that had never had that, and it's awkward and gross, many times.

ICE just arrested Brad Lander, the NYC Comptroller and one of the leading candidates for Mayor, without grounds. He was conducting routine immigration court work, escorting individuals from hearings. He asked ICE for their warrant - well within his legal rights. This is political intimidation.

We don't deserve video games everyone we get is like a tiny miracle a series of impossibilities coalescing into a single fixed point Air into gold as Dr. Manhattan said and yet SOME OF YOU FUCKS KEEP CRYING THAT THE VIDEO GAME TITIES ARE TOO BROWN OR NOT BIG ENOUGH GET OUT OF MY FAAAACEEEEE

Our wonderful Vhenan Manager @blkhrvioleteyes.bsky.social was able to snag me the new Veilguard line from @insertcoin.bsky.social! Not an ad- I just like yapping about DA stuff, so let’s walkthrough what I got and if anyone has questions let me know!

Happy Pride! Day 16

Again- I get the sentiment but if your reaction to the bloomberg article was to think you should apologize for being shitty to devs, you missed the point. Take this as a lesson and learn. Choose compassion to real people over feelings about video games. www.thegamer.com/dragon-age-t...

beam this into my eyes blast this into my ears aerosolize this game and put it INTO MY LUNGS The next game from @giantsquidstudios.com and @awintory.bsky.social is coming SOON, and ya boi cannot wait. Not sponsored, just obsessed – and *very excited* -B

youtu.be/x--N03NO130?... Only Monsters Play God…

Folks it is 2025 and tiktok just showed me a Gundam AMV set to Cake's "The Distance." Maybe the kids really *are* all right.

wheeeeeeen CAPTAIN AMERICA THROWS HIS MIGHTY SHIELD -R youtu.be/ZN5MyDANIY4?...

I swear to god Apple is testing a new autocorrect on me that can only be described as “prank mode”

On Wednesday, EA abruptly canceled a Black Panther game without saying why. So I did a little digging. For this week's column, here's what Cliffhanger's Black Panther was, why it was canceled and why employees were shocked at the news: www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

LEVERAGE meeting 2008: “The trick is, slide the social critique in behind the fun. I don’t want to push.” ME IN EDITING IN 2024: “Do we have a take of the white techbro chasing our heroine with an ax screaming ‘THIS IS EFFECTIVE ALTRUISM!!’ where he looks directly into the camera? No? Damn.”

For a long time, I could not read the names Dwayne McDuffie, Steve Gerber, or George Perez without crying. I mean, just reading their names in passing. Tears every time. All of them went out of their way for me when they didn't even know me. I thought it'd get easier with time. It hasn't.

It's my birthday! 🌿 As per tradition you can share my work to offer me ✨visibility✨ :) I wish you all a nice day!!

Official confirmation from his family that Peter David has passed away after a long illness. Tremendous writer, incredible talent. Sending my deepest condolences to his family and friends.

Sometimes YT will recommend me some dude whose channel is all about whats the latest game to dunk on, and these guys stories all seem the same. Scroll through their channel and they all failed to be successful streamers, so they do gamerage vids now. Stop trying to be famous and have fun.

Today's the birthday of Barry Windsor-Smith—one of the greatest visual storytellers to ever work in comics. A true master.

#veilguardspoilers god bless GDL for taking dumb fan cameos 😭😭

I am trying very hard today

Today I discovered that people have been uploading old stock photo CD-ROMs to the Internet Archive and now I'm obsessed with the mid-'90s business-core aesthetic.

On the roof.

With the coming-up-faster-than-I'd-like roll off of my current gig I thought it might be a good time to start re-sharing some portfolio pieces. Feel free to hit me up if you know of a job. I do character design, storyboard (TV and feature), episode direction, animation direction and illustration...

YOU ALL I JUST GOT THE COVER TO UNCANNY X-MEN #19 FROM @davidmarquez.bsky.social AND GODDAMN LOOK AT IT!

If a foreign adversary snuck into our Federal budget and cut science research and education the way we’re cutting it ourselves — strategically undermining America’s long-term health, wealth, and security — we would likely consider it an act of war.

Just saw Sinners and honestly I had no clue you could make movies that good anymore like what

GONNA MAKE AN OOPS ALL CID DECK BECAUSE YOU JUST GOTTA WITH THIS

I did miss egging devs on to shit post. I love da shit post 🥺 Podcasting villains, target solas, vorgoth diva down. All gems.

I am in a foul mood. It's making it hard to write my silly stories about monsters and fairies.

it’s so hard to create art right now, but i do it because i want there to be proof that i existed. even if my humanity is not acknowledged by some, it’s irrefutable. i want to assert it on my own terms, through writing about the things and people and places i find meaningful. hard, but worth it.

A Chicago Pope implies the existence of an MLA Pope and APA Pope

They voted for Trump. ICE arrested their son.
