note to self: do not abandon a github repo for a year and then have to update it expecting things to work seamlessly

This looks absolutely amazing! Wishing you all the best of success on this!

Softcover (paperback) Perfect bound / 74gsm uncoated cream

Hardcover / 350gsm cardstock Dust jacket / 5+0, die-cut Flexi-bound (layflat) / 120gsm uncoated

you can tell which is which /s

I MUST HAVE CONSISTENT TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS OF MY WORKS ON MY WEBSITE EVEN IF THEY ARE PRINT ON DEMAND !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I understand that print-on-demand is meant to be as user-friendly as possible to be accessible to everyone but I'm about to wish I had a paper weight measuring device because apparently no one cares what cover paper the paperbacks printed thru ingramspark use and it's pissing me off

have video game manuals died out for good? YouTube video by Laine's Designed

me: I love my country I'd never want to move
also me, after experiencing direct sunlight the entire day and having dry streets to walk on after 2 months: um. maybe I should consider taking a vacation in Spain over the winter or something.

My knee hurts like hell because I've walked more this week than probably in the past month but I'M HAPPY ABOUT IT. Well kind of. It sucks but like. Whatever! At least THE GROUND IS NO LONGER A SLIPPERY MESS AND I CAN WALK ON IT!

Seasonal depression is such a bitch wdym the snow melted and now I feel like I have freedom again as I can once again walk places resulting in my mental health improving by like 200%???

9 games that make me who I am!

I really struggled with the last one and then I was like. you know what. if it comes to the games that make me who I am. I cannot not include my fave web game of all time as a child (it was like club penguin. but with pandas.)

gjdjg forr reall. me getting everything done in 5 mins while everyone else struggles and the teacher being like damn. well. since u don't have anything to do. help me /s

i don't remember if we had excel as part of our computer classes specifically but i did have classes where we learned a bunch of computer stuff and like, word, for sure. it was also funny bc me being so chronically tech obsessed at one point the teacher was like "u should teach instead of me" lmao 💀

Feeling extra nostalgic this morning so I’ll do a little thread about my history with this special series and how it has impacted my life in the best way.

I started off as a fan, then an executive, then a writer.

jokes aside i do love getting to like absorb random bits of knowledge i wouldn't usually bother with just as a side effect of having to layout a bunch of information to create books BUT UM. THIS IS A LITTLE OUT OF MY SCOPE .

i love being a graphic designer and uh, (checks notes) having to decipher coordinates to place locations on a map of mars

They're remaking you for a modern audience. Yeah, sorry man. They're giving you a hyper realistic art style with no reverence for how your original color grading or art design looked. Your boss fights have new shitty mechanics and they redid all of your iconic voice acting. Your studio got laid off

i keep thinking about how i want to post more on bsky but like i'm so out of it on the twitter-like posting these days. like I usually just prioritize telling my friends abt stuff. but i'd like to post more abt Stuff here too

It can be really annoying tbh but if your Wii U is homebrewed ...... you can cheat some in :D

i've got a new trick up my sleeve to curb the perfectionism while i work on videos:

"it's fine that this isn't 100% accurate and or somehow inconsistent. it's bait for the comment section"
