worth remembering, David Lynch directed β€œfix your hearts or die” specifically at transphobes. it wasn’t a generic β€œno mean people allowed” statement, it was said by his Twin Peaks character in defense of a trans woman he cared for and deeply respected.

going to beat grammarly with hammers, but it's ok because they can opt-out at any time after the beatings start.

I was told there are "full A.I. protections in place that guarantee in writing that [my] voice will never be used for A.I. development" but was also told "with certainty, from [Capcom], that the project will not go union."

My last bit of venting for the day is I can't believe how fast we've gone from companies saying "we should create things that customers want so they will give us money and enjoy our brand" to "fuck you! eat shit! we put shit in everything and you'll eat it! die!"

Did a double take when I saw this email.

For what this means, it's basically that the client began the process to make it a union game, alerting its cast that it would be union, but then did not actually complete the process to do so.

These notices can be rescinded should everything be fixed.

With a broken Blue Bomber heart, I am no longer the voice of Mega Man.

I was asked to return for Mega Man: Dual Override, but only on the condition I work without the protections of a union contract.

A set of columns and rows showing characters from Mega Man X and what they would do in a suggested situation.

The top row says "no why would i", "I could", and "I can not attend work today because I have to"

The column says "feed the ducks", "kick a baby", and "buy 28 light bulbs from Home Depot"

Combining them with images of Mega Man X characters results in these combinations:

Zero: no why would I feed the ducks

X: I could feed the ducks

Axl: I could not attend work today because I have to feed the ducks

Colonel: no why would i kick a baby

Sigma: I could kick a baby

Vile: I can not attend work today because I have to kick a baby

Dynamo: no why would i buy 28 lightbulbs from Home Depot

Gate: I could buy 28 lightbulbs from Home Depot

Serges: I can not attend work today because I have to buy 28 lightbulbs from Home Depot

Hey #gamedev gang, I could use some work! I'm open for #lowpoly model + animation commissions. I try to have flexible rates and quick turnarounds while also maintaining the aesthetic your project is already using.

Reach out via DM or to rhapsodyingeek on Discord if you need some lo-poly work done!

Tuesday Toughie's Mar. 10th Special

A clear day. A grassy plain. The muscular boat-jawed eczema pink Tuesday Toughie turns his head. Behind him is a smaller man dressed in red clothes, white gloves and blue overalls. 

"Hey STUD," says this smaller man. He's got a big mustache too, and a cap with the letter "m" on it.

"It's-a..." the man continues.

Zoom in on the man's face. He has small angry eyes. 

"...me." he says. 

"Leave me alone, Chris Pratt," says Tuesday Toughie.

god yeah. if you're smooth enough you can make it up without the water reaching you, but when your goal is "don't get hit" it psyches you out waaaaay more.

no way to fuck up labyrinth 2 though. it's probably the most straightforward level in sonic 1 besides final zone lol.
