Hey there! Thank you for thinking of me, what a great note to find waiting for me this morning! :D
I hope that you've been doing well, and I'm sending good wishes and warm vibes right back your way!

This is amazing -- I hope it gets "accidentally" left in the game forever honestly (like maybe as an easter egg secret gameplay thing if you give Sam a specific name!)
Thank you for creating such fun things friend, this game keeps on making me smile in new ways
Neat! Thanks for doing this!
Lion + black and gold + paintbrush tail + splatter (maybe?)
Yoooo, these look great!
Geeeeeeeeeeez x_X;
Yeah spring is sounding super cool and good right about now
It always gives me an extra spark of joy to see you using your platform to openly share these valuable takes on the current situation.
Never stop using your voice man, it's a real light in these crazy dark times, and I appreciate you.

Hi! I stumbled upon your work on Spotify, and The Microwave Dance album is making my entire morning. And the lil video of her jiving with the effects, aaaa.
The whole thing is making me smile so much. And I hope that this lil note brings you a smile in return!
Oh hey, thank you! It's really kind of you to share these things for free, and I appreciate you!

Hah! Super cute idea! :D
YES! THANK YOU!
I've been thinking about this same thing a lot lately, and it feels wonderful to encounter it summed up so beautifully out in the wild like this.
I appreciate you, stranger-friend.
I support this plan lol just saying
^This is so hard to remember sometimes, but so damn important to keep on trying to.
Your Value Is Intrinsic! Nothing and nobody can take that from you. And with every little moment in your life where you choose kindness, you shine a big bright light on it.
You ALWAYS matter, capabilities or not :)
My partner and I have been having so much fun playing Look Outside, and it really warms my heart to now know that the dev behind it is on the side of compassion and human rights. I appreciate you dude, and am delighted to enjoy the things that you create so much more now.
OMG that just made me so happy hahaha. Super cool!
Are you gonna keep it as a seasonal thing, or keep it up year round? Cuz just saying, that could be amazing to just keep up and decorate for other holidays, lol
Your stuff all has so much attitude, style and peak energy! I just stumbled upon your work today and I'm in love
I'm curious though, what program is this here? And if you wouldn't mind my asking, what others do you use in your process?
Keep up the incredible work, friend!
Super cool, and I love the song with it! Great work!
Man, this is absolutely lovely! I just discovered your work this morning and I've just been having a great time browsing through and appreciating it.
I'm very curious though, if you might not mind sharing what program you did this puppet rig in? And what you thought of working in it?
That's a popcorn bucket??? Yoooooooooooo that's sick!

Oh my gosh, every bit of creativity we can indulge in is so important right now.
If you might have been waiting for a sign, then this is for you: go ahead and do it.
Work on the silly passion project that makes you happy.
Experiment, fail, keep trying.
Make a mess.
Create your joy!
Wanting to keep trying new stuff is a sign of someone who gets what art's all about, if you ask me. Why lock ourselves into just one style or technique, when there's so much fun stuff to learn and experiment with?
I hope you get plenty of takers! These examples look great!
๐ฅ This Is So Damn Good You Guys ๐ฅ
In an era where we're blasted with mindless aggression, horrible takes and rampant AI slop presented to us as "art", it's consistently a refreshing breath of fresh air to see creative folks continuing to exist and be themselves without giving into it.
Sharing your thoughts on here needs no apology
I hope that you choose not to delete them!
I feel like they contribute to what you mentioned about continuing to make art, honestly. They convey a lot of authenticity, and create opportunities for people to feel a sense of connection. And I think a lot of folks can probably relate right now
Oh shoot, didn't mean to put words in your mouth like that, my apologies! I myself hadn't read it as accusing ill intentions so much as clearing up any uncertainty to put y'all on the same page.
all the more appreciation that you responded without aggression. Ain't easy sometimes, seriously
Thank you both for how you handled this interaction! No judgements, no attacks, no defensiveness, just great open communication.
Seeing this kind of thing still happening in the wild really lifts my spirits every time. Reminds me that while the ugliness out there is loud af, it's not all there is
We're all strangers on here, but we're also kind of a weird little family now too, cornered as we are together.
So I just want you to know, your sharing these thoughts so visibly is really impactful.
We're all facing this same awful darkness, but you reminded us we're facing it together, not alone
"I don't vibe with throwing ppl under the bus over the price of !!#@!! eggs," says the text on a familiar style of red hat known to be worn by people with very frustrating ideologies. But instead this one is being worn by a lion friend who wants you to continue having human rights. He is splashed with pride flag colors, and gritting his teeth in silent frustration. ...SO. much. silent frustration.
A scribbly sketch of an angry lion friend turning around in place to stare exasperatedly at the viewer. He is smiling, but it's definitely the kind of smile that suggests being just about ready to snap. I'm sure a lot of us feel like this a lot of the time right now. I see you, guys, and I'm here with you.
It's that lion friend again, and this time the existential dread is kicking in. His face is ominously shadowed, and his expression is distressed as he stares into the distance. Huge mood.
Swirly eyed lion friend has finally collapsed in a heap, and is waving a white flag over his head. Don't worry though. He's not giving up. Just taking a little time to feel the feelings, before getting back at it. Periods of rest are gonna be essential if we're gonna get though this thing together. Take good care of yourself, ok? (Nobody can be "on" all the time forever without burning out)
Hi!
Everything is on fire!
And I know a lot of us are really scared and stressed to hell and back right now.
I just want to remind you that it's ok to not be at 100% right now.
You might need more rest than usual. That's ok!
Take care of yourselves, ok?
You matter.
You're worth it.

Awww crud, the link seems broken now.
Might anyone happen to have a different way to access this resource? It looks like it would be a real blessing to have
