congrats Nick!!!

i regularly look back and cringe at how a lot of my earliest career desires were tied to creative technology and futurism. nowadays it feels those words are used as dogwhistles for AI-apologists and people enabling that arm of the tech world, its just so gross

before i dig a deeper hole for myself lmao to be clear i don’t think the visuals ‘look’ bad, yall are clearly working hard and the labor of love is seen; i’m just an oldhead that loves Trigun for specifically Nightow’s style. glad other people like it though and sorry for the reactionary tweet!

boo me all you want but the visual direction for the new trigun series (stampede, stargaze) is a literal sin to the series and hurts my soul to look at

a recruiter just messaged me saying they have a hybrid, 5-day in-office design position i may be interested in.. uhh buddy?

the board game / ttrpg / card game industry has a problem with using too much shitty faux leather and its infuriating. i dont want a deckbox or dm screen made out of that shit, it just crumbles. just give me cold, hard plastic.

god yes please the first bangers only card art set, taking out a small loan now for the booster box 💸

no ill will against Avatar fans / the series but i also have no interest in that set either 🫩 i guess wotc really wants me to not spend any money until january

labubu is zoomer socially acceptable KAWS which im realizing is why i dislike them

praying the darkest prayers for the spiderman MTG set to be a huge flop so Wizards stops with their fortnite slop nonsense

they should sell a cylindrical brick at concerts that you can hold instead of a beer can

the most slavic part about me is my love for the Heroes of Might & Magic franchise

I’m booking new projects right now! I’d love to take on more branding projects for games and game developers

and before any incels jump up and say diversity/inclusion, absolutely not. this is specifically about the overall tone, how every character has to be quippy, and nothing can be done for an emotion without ironic self-awareness

lets be clear, i figure the root answer is capitalism. it’s just wild to me that this hits every medium – from my recent dive into Magic, to D&D, MMOs, fantasy shows & tv, etc. I try to offset all this with reading older fantasy novels (1970-90’s) and the difference in tone and comedy is so apparent

are there any good articles / pieces on the Marvel-ification of mainstream fantasy writing and why it’s happening? when i say Marvel-ification, i specifically mean fantasy not taking itself seriously; hyperfixing on irony and self-awareness over authenticity

unfortunately ive already depicted you as the skull-adorned, barbarous knight who shows no love to his squire, and me as the golden armored knight who regularly avenges the death of their comrades

Microsoft's own research confirms something that was already pretty obvious: relying on a text generating machine to come up with answers erodes critical thinking, and is a method favoured by those who never liked doing critical thinking in the first place
