Please explain to me why this lighting was a good idea. Because if it’s supposed to blind me from seeing accurate swatches on my hand, hey! Mission accomplished, chief.

Majora's Mask enamel pins (Keaton, Truth, and Fierce Deity)

Oh I'll be at Magfest at the Cookie Brigade booth shilling my wares (including two new Hollow Knight linocut prints), help me pay down my credit card debt ty ty

Oh right, I should share art things here too…! I’ll be back for my 8th year at EPCOT International Festival of the Arts with three new paintings!

I think the reason I enjoy Pluribus so much is that I would do basically the same things Carol does when she’s left alone to entertain herself. Episode 7, I kept going, “Yep yep excellent choice.”

I’m caught up, because the finale dropped for me at like 8pm-ish last night.

Some of you have forgotten that only three years ago you were perfectly capable of writing a text, writing an email, telling a bedtime story to a child, and it should worry you that powerful companies have convinced us we can’t do things we’ve been doing since the dawn of time.

Wow a whole lotta nothing interesting for me in terms of new trailers. Except for the old lady + plant monster game. Was hoping for at least some new footage of Okami :(

TGA night aka take a shot for every WORLD PREMIERE that’s a sci-fi dystopian shooter game.
(Jk please don’t that’s too many shots)

We miss you too ;-;

“Pick a lane, chief.” has been my catchphrase since this month started. Lovely driving this time of year 🙃

It’s World Elephant Day! 🐘
These gentle giants have been an important part of my designs for a long time. Especially since my wife is obsessed with elephants and made me incorporate them into everything.

NEW KATAMARI LET’S GOOOOOO

Excellent point! You would think Johnny and Grimm would be all over that.

Fantastic Four was just ok 😶 and I’m relieved to know my Marvel-loving partner felt the same and that I wasn’t the only one who couldn’t suspend my disbelief on a couple of things in the movie. I know it’s a comic book movie, but I can still finger-point and call something out for being ridiculous.

Much love to ALL the characters who put on a fantastic show despite the gross heat. I wish I could give all of you a portable fan to stay cool 😩

Made some new friends yesterday!
Ygor was so delightfully fun ( thank you x1000 ) and Toothless and Hiccup were worth the wait!

A wild @treystokes.bsky.social appears! (Boo no giant wave ending on Hulu)

Oh C’MON I just got my Burning Blade pin in the other day and you release this NOW?! 😂

I probably don't qualify for cosplay senior citizenship status but like the tutorial ever for me remains Amethyst Angel's craft foam armor tutorial. Does this image spark an emotion in you like it does for me??

!!!! How exciting!!! Bummed I missed it when I was there last week 😩

2011 Winnie The Pooh is so underrated, we just watched it in our Disney Animated timeline and it still holds up from when I saw it in theaters.

Christopher Robin with realistic eyeballs is still weird tho.

Generative Al is being marketed as a tool designed to reduce or eliminate the need for developed, cognitive skillsets. It uses the work of others to simulate human output, except that it lacks grasp of nuance, contains grievous errors, and ultimately serves the goal of human beings being neurologically weaker due to the promise of the machine being better equipped than the humans using it would ever exert the effort to be. The people that use generative Al for art have no interest in being an artist; they simply want product to consume and forget about when the next piece of product goes by their eyes. The people that use generative Al to make music have no interest in being a musician; they simply want a machine to make them something to listen to until they get bored and want the machine to make some other disposable slop for them to pass the time with. The people that use generative Al to write things for them have no interest in writing. The people that use generative Al to find factoids have no interest in actual facts. The people that use generative Al to socialize have no interest in actual socialization. In every case, they've handed over the cognitive load of developing a necessary, creative human skillset to a machine that promises to ease the sweat equity cost of struggle. Using generative Al is like asking a machine to lift weights on your behalf and then calling yourself a bodybuilder when it's done with the reps. You build nothing in terms of muscle, you are not stronger, you are not faster, you are not in better shape. You're just deluding yourself while experiencing a slow decline due to self-inflicted atrophy.

re: generative AI

I have finally fully and accurately explained my problem with how it’s marketed and used.

And now, you can use it, too.

Babs is always who I trace back to for my sense of humor. But I find myself quoting this the most.

THIS IS TOO CUTE

Elio was really damn cute! Go see it! Carl Sagan!

Ha right?! Could easily fit within the Frankenstein manor but nope.
