I completed my first official half marathon and I AM SO PROUD OF MYSELF OH MY GOSH I NEVER THOUGHT I COULD DO THAT, I HAVE NEVER BEEN AN ATHLETE. I’ve run for years but very casually. This was a whole other beast!

The subscription model for creative software has just resulted in a continually more unstable product for each product over time and I AM TIRED OF IT. ALSO LET ME OWN THINGS
No that’s much too logical and would result in a stable app, so therefore they can’t
Thank you!! I thought on that one for the longest because I think there are so many great antagonists in games, but when I thought of the Beginner’s Guide in that context I immediately knew that was the one.
I loved mine, he was a very supranaturally-perceptive communard who was learning about his sexuality. 😆
Becca’s “About Me” of video games: Favorite game: Outer Wilds Best Story: SOMA Favorite Art Style: Omori Biggest Personal Impact: Pokemon Red Best Combat: Bloodborne Overhated: Dark Souls 2 Underrated: Oxenfree Overrated: Persona 5 Needs a Remake: Pokemon Coliseum Criminally Overlooked: Radiata Stories Favorite Protagonist: Disco Elysium Favorite Antagonist: The Beginner’s Guide Best Soundtrack: Undertale Best Multiplayer: Portal 2 Not usually my thing but… : Warcraft 3 Turn My Brain Off: Skyrim Best with Friends: Mario Party 3 Best Retro Game: Banjo-Kazooie Nostalgic Childhood Game: Kingdom Hearts 2 Games Everybody Should Play: Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask
The biggest challenge of making this was actually not repeating games! Otherwise Outer Wilds would be at least half of the list.
women complaining about how men are saying they will **** them on video games is met with men saying that’s life get over it
like die all of you
posting this 'ol thing again for no reason
Ditto as the OG Trio, fanart by Becca
I love Pokopia and finished the story last night, it’s definitely my favorite Pokémon game in *years.* I really appreciated that it leaned into more of the sci-fi aspects of the series again vs the “here’s the 5000th legendary that’s also god, and its gonna be our whole story.” It’s my current GOTY.
I was SOOOOOO close to getting Riebeck but it was either them or the hoodie. It was a hard call!! I’m excited for you to have them arrive!
Merch from one of Becca’s favorite games, Outer Wilds. The two merch items are “Inhabitant Plush” and “Campfire Hoodie”. Becca has scribbled out the image of the first one to censor it as she deemed it too spoilery, but the second is the image on a hoodie, of somebody sitting at a campfire in front of their spaceship. If you’ve played the game you likely know what they’re referencing, and if you don’t you should play Outer Wilds.
soon™️
I love this video, Shanspeare is definitely one of my favorite essayists right now
Haha it actually is! It sounds counter intuitive but the mode I shoot my camera in de-saturates the shots so it can take in more light data. Then I mess with both in post, with a lot of flexibility from the mode I shot in. It basically is designed to be adjusted in post :)
I do have limits though and just refreshed the video I had been watching to force a different ad that was a few seconds vs 17 minutes ha
I use Brave for general internet browsing but don’t use it for YouTube. I don’t expect other people to do this, but since I make YouTube videos myself, I don’t want to use an ad blocker with other creators who get revenue through ads. Especially since YouTube does weird things to those who block ads
I, for one, am shocked, SHOCKED I SAY, that Anthropic accidentally released their source code for Claude. I guess they vibe coded too close to the sun.
I don't want you to separate me and my art. Art. Artist. Same dude. If I ever milkshake duck on y'all & start saying some wild ass hateful shit, please, for the love of God, throw out my books. Put my DVDs in the microwave just to be sure. I won't be the guy who wrote them anymore. Art IS the artist
Their ad strategy reminds me of the whole adage about slowly raising the temperature of water on frogs until they’re boiled alive. It’s why I don’t do mid-rolls on my own videos, because I can’t control what they’re going be, or how long they’ll be, and they keep getting worse!
Just got a 17 minute unskippable mid-roll ad on YouTube, what the actual fuck
I think we need to celebrate the death of Sora a bit more. This is a technology that, just MONTHS AGO, we were being told was going to literally destroy Hollywood and Disney was going to give them a BILLION DOLLARS and NONE OF THAT EVEN REMOTELY HAPPENED
That is EXACTLYYYY it. It's not perfect but it also feels very people-driven still
Oh for sure!! My best friend is a huge Tumblr user so I've heard of the problems but in comparison to how everything else feels I'm like oh thank gosh 😆 Especially because it feels like most other places have definitely become pretty hostile fandom-wise. People forgot how to have a fun time!
ITS GOT SUCH A GOOD VIBE! It’s like a time capsule of the internet before it was absolutely rancid
Finally started a tumblr a few weeks ago and omg I’ve been missing out
OTHERWORLD from the game OMORI. Becca has taken the original 2D pixel art game and shifted it into 2.5D, meaning (in this case) the world is 3D but the character models are in 2D still. OTHERWORLD looks like an adorable pink mountain town. While there are trash containers everywhere, there's also loads of dreamy pink trees, grass, and a fun space theme going on. The scene is lit to look like nighttime.
A dialogue interaction from Becca's OTHERWORLD. The character Mari is saying, "I think something is different about all of us right now!"
OTHERWORLD from Omori in 2.5D! This is one of the biggest, and one of my favorite, models I worked on for the series. It was also the one that presented the most... learning opportunities. 🙈

Those are interesting ideas tbh- I hated streaming when I used to do it, but that was for a litany of reasons, including the fact I was actively playing the game in front of other people, and for too often, and long. Maybe if it was more of a chill just chatting thing the hour before a video drops?
I personally had the same thing happen too! Its so hard, I know a lot of creators have talked about it, but nobody has really determined any workarounds. I have a few ideas but idk if I'd have time to implement them while I have a series actively going. D:
I get multiple comments a day on my longform videos from regulars saying they had no idea I had posted because YouTube never notified them… I have no idea how to fix this issue beyond trying to post shorts in hopes of reaching them 😭😭😭
Thank you!!! I’m working on other ones too to make a series of them, and think that this one was definitely the one the style I wanted to do started clicking :3
