Vibes at MikuExpo Seattle were superb! Perfectly run show. Great crowd energy. Tons of pen lights. An artist sitting across from us even gave us a free stickers!

Bird woodblock print fans rise up!
If you are ever in Tokyo, go check out the Mokuhankan woodblock print shop. Picked this up when we went there to due a class back before the pandemic.
Great super cut! This picture was what this dumpster fire of a year needed.
Yeah wanted to 2nd this thumbs up of Exit 8 (8番出口). Went in expecting a terrible game-to-movie adaptation and left with big smile on my face. Great bite sized 8.5/10 psychological horror. I really like the cinematography in this one. Good lighting and lots of well executed continuous shots.
Wow there is a lot to unpack there.
Good opportunity to point out there are a ton of great indie games that don't use GenAI and cost a fraction of AAA games.
Here's the no GenAI game I'm working on. I'd love to hear any of your #indiegame recommendations as well!

While cleaning out some old filing cabinets I found a treasure a co-worker had sketched for me that I thought was lost to time:
Pikachu, but buff as hell 💪
It was an absolute honor to work with Kieran on Glassbreakers. Hire this man!
Oh man. End of an era. That campus was their dominion.
Rode the new 2 line into the International District from Bellevue today! It’s finally here. The prophecy has been fulfilled!!

Moving out of our current office in a few days. Left a fun little Batman surprise for the next tenants.
You now have "Onegai Muscle" stuck in your head
Sorry. Not sorry.
Thanks for mentioning this one! Yeah definitely could be a Bond movie ending. @straycatalyst.bsky.social showed this artist once before. Very cool singer! I really need to listen to more of their stuff.
Funny new word came up in my language lesson today: 聖地巡礼/seichijyunrei. It literally means “pilgrimage to a sacred place” but it also means visiting the real life site of an anime. On vacation in Komoro we found such a spot on accident. Found this tour someone did:

Surprise late snow day gave Mom and I an excuse to pop up to Gold Creek near Snoqualmie Pass today. I regret not taking our snow shoes with us, but was still a great visit.
Gotta keep that cloaca tidy…
Leave some guac for me!
Step away for a sec and ya go full guac gremlin.
This is the "Lisa Frank" energy I needed to brighten up this rancid vibes week.
Brilliant! I love the “it’s a slow burn” tag.
If Hanna-Barbera era cartoon background paintings taught me anything, a baddie is gonna burst that wall any second.
It's a running joke for Japanese learners that using a "correct" seeming kanji word ends up sounding old-timey and you should just use a loan word. In tonight's language lesson I tried to say 車輪・sha rin (lit. vehicle wheel), but that's like "wagon wheel" and the correct word is タイヤ・ta i ya ("tire").
Come find me at GDC next week! I'll be there as one of the representatives of @carnivalcatgames.bsky.social. We're a new team that focus on helping devs get their feet in the door and be nurtured in their careers. We're looking especially for new business opportunities and would love to connect!
I just saw the NY Times article about this strike. This administration is speed running the war crimes. Was going to ping my rep about it.
We have a one of those decorative clocks in the bathroom. Went to go adjust it for PDT today and noticed it was already correct. Asked @straycatalyst.bsky.social if they already fixed it. Turns out was never switched to PST in the winter 😆.
A neglected clock becomes right again eventually.
My favorite little blepper 😸
