Pre-orders for Dragon Age Veilguard are going to open on August 15th. So I’m asking you with a profound pleading in my tone to not pre-order it in respect to the 50 members of the BW team who got laid off with no warning this time last year.

A HC I hold dear in my heart: Andrew goes to law school remotely during the off-season, so when he retires, he can become the advocate he needed as a kid

No joke, the thing I’m most looking forward to when I graduate and have a job is just buying books again. The luxury. Having a book forever instead of having to return it to library. Not having to wait weeks for a hold. Imagine.

How exactly does this clip prove he gives a shit about Sonic? He didn't even answer the question lol. He just responded by going "those people are stupid smelly doodoo heads and you should just ignore them." Which, fair enough. I sure do wish that Ian Flynn's fans would heed his advice and LEAVE ME THE FUCK ALONE. But I'm not exactly seeing how this clip is supposed to put the matter to bed.

He responded to that question the way he always does. By being a spoiled narcissist irate at the mere suggestion that anyone could ever have anything negative to say against him, ever. He didn't say anything new. He certainly didn't refute the allegations. Where and when did he do or say anything that proves he actually gives a shit about Sonic? Where and when did he do or say anything that proves he doesn't hate the video games? I have plenty of evidence to suggest that he does hate the games, and that the only version of Sonic he does or ever has given a shit about was Archie Sonic. I've yet to see a single piece of evidence to refute that, and this clip sure doesn't qualify.

Casually looking through the re8 concepts arts and seeing this.

ETHAN WAS GOING TO HAVE A SWORD AND I DONT KNOW HOW TO HANDLE THIS INFORMATION.

Now I’m just imagining the whole of re8 again but with Ethan fighting all the lords with a medieval sword and I’m giggling and kicking my feet like an idiot. Now I’m thinking about 3rd person mode Ethan with a sword. It would probably look goofy or really cool but GODDAMN.

@katyspersonal never ask me to draw Willem ever again!!!!

Ok more seriously sketch is done i think it looks not that bad! 😂 but i feel the details are gonna killed me. But yeah for now it’s quite nice and enjoyable to draw him somehow! But yeah i don’t wanna draw full character or really detailed and pretty imaginary clothes before a while! I mean if i can draw provost willem full size i can draw almost anything so i won’t have an excuse anymore 💀 … i will think about it

I have a lil folder of refs but i won’t mind more detailed ones

Putting the sketch undercut if you wanna keep the surprise x)

Anyway the reason why you shouldn't pre order Veilguard isn't because of some moral protest about the layoffs. It's because deceptive marketing and releasing unfinished products are the current standard in the AAA space and a few pieces of mediocre fashion do NOT warrant spending 60+ usd now for a game that might not even run later.

Here are some closeups of God’s and Kremy’s faces, since you can’t see all the little details I put into Kremy’s appearance from the screenshots i posted yesterday

And no, they’re not the only sims (as you can see in the bottom corner), but they’re the ones im the most proud of considering what little I had access to in regards to the customization. I’m sure if I could download custom content to rhe console versions I’d be having a field day with the other three

Pirating is wrong! You should NEVER pirate!

I like that the first player Nagi goes up against once he decides to take soccer a liiiiil bit seriously is Rin "if i'm not the best at soccer i have no reason for living i have no respect for anyone that considers this anything less than a fight to the death" Itoshi, a guy that makes Bachira look well-adjusted

Do you think he regrets coming here yet. do you think he regrets waking up in the morning

hey bestie hows it going :)

hai kai howre u :3

its !! going. second week of classes finished . im exhausted as fuckeroni but im surviving. somehow. the power of anime boys or smth idfk .

did u know i had to install fortnite for one of my classes. fortnite, kai! i've avoided touching that game since it came out!!!!!! and yet. one of the little engine things we use in intro to game design is UEFN (unreal editor for fornite) which requires u to have fortnite 😔 my epic games account is forever tainted. or something equally as dramatic.

its fine tho my laptop's too shit to run UEFN so i only actually have fortnite installed on a school computer in one of the labs. lmao.

this is not really my brand at all but I’m just going to rant about Toy Story 5 for a hot second because the D23 sneak peek made me so mad.

TLDR: Toy Story 5 (and 4) ruin what made the first three films so special.

I’ll start this off by saying I ADORE Toy Story 3. It’s one of my favorite Pixar films. I was 10 when this movie came out, I remember going to like three Walmarts just to find a Jessie doll, and carrying her around with me in my bag all summer. I still have that doll, she’s very special to me.

Part of what makes the first three films so good is the passage of time. First two movies came out within 4 years of each other (1995 and 1999), third movie came out 11 years later in 2010. Andy is a kid in the first two films, maybe he doesn’t age exactly four years between 1 and 2 but he doesn’t have to we’re still in the range of childhood years, in the 90s. When the third movie came out a significant amount of time had passed in the real world, and thus it had in TS3. We quite literally felt the passage of time in that movie along with the toys. THAT is what made that movie so captivating and special, those trailers were so bittersweet and magical and REAL. I remember it so well. The third movie also FEELS like 2010 that movie EXUDES early 2010s it’s so comfy and nice (minus the traumatizing fire scene ofc)

(more below the cut)

Nine years later TS4 comes along and even tho the animation is prettier and the film seems to take place in the 2020s. everyone is the same age. Bonnie has aged what, a year? Over the course of nine real years? whereas Andy went from kid to college bound in a similar amount of time? where is the real world connection?

but ya know I gave the film the benefit of the doubt, I saw it I liked it I loved forky. But the emotional connection wasn’t there the way it was for TS3. But oh well that’s it right? How do you continue the franchise after that ending?

but OH! NOW TS5 is coming out in 2026, seven years later and GUESS WHAT!!! BONNIE IS STILL A KID. Look at this concept art!! She is very clearly still a kid.

she’ll have been a kid for 16 years at this point!! what is this, despicable me? (that’s a rant for another day shdjdjdj)

And she’s an iPad kid now which I mean. Yes. That’s a relevant issue for today’s kids. A GREAT concept for a TS movie. But Bonnie is not the character to portray this storyline. She’s not one of today’s kids she is a kid of the 2010s she was born in like. 2005. BONNIE should be in college and/or starting her own career now. Not an iPad kid. The toys should be with someone else, maybe a younger sister or cousin.

Plus!!! Guess who’s back in Bonnie’s room! Woody!!! so much for him saying goodbye to the others forever to be with his one true love right? The end of TS4 was not my favorite initially but I applauded the writers’ decision to make such a bold choice and change to the status quo. It echoed TS3 in a way, even if it cheapened the end of that film somewhat for me (in my heart the true TS canon ends at TS3 and TS4 is just a possible timeline it could branch off into).

But I guess the moving sacrificial end of your film doesn’t really matter when you can just change it in the next film!! 🙄

I love the sequence of the first three films so much, I love how they take place in the eras they come out in while also moving the timeline along.

Bonnie going from being born in 2005 to the late 2010s AT THE EARLIEST for these films to make any sense makes no sense. and if she’s born in 2005 how is she an iPad kid??? TS4 should’ve come out way sooner, and it should’ve been about a different kid.

(and I KNOW lots of movies and shows have a floating timeline where the kids never age. Charlie Brown, Phineas and Ferb, The Simpsons. but for those shows the setting changing with time while the characters don’t is part of the charm. The Toy Story franchise could’ve been that way but Toy Story 3 fundamentally changed that.)

(And look let’s say the movie takes place in 2012 and Bonnie has a rudimentary IPad 4 or something. why are we just seeing the movie now in 2026?? the timelines don’t match up it doesn’t make sense no matter what.)

I feel an emotional connection to the Bonnie of TS3 because she belongs in that time period, in the early 2010s when cellphone technology was just starting to pick up, when I was still a kid. And I think of TS3 and my brain screams 2010S!! MIDDLE SCHOOL!!!!!

whereas when I think of TS4 I’m like “has it actually been five years? it feels like it came out like two years ago” bc there’s no passage of time within that film to anchor it to the year 2019. That film came out the year before covid and it STILL feels like it came out like two years ago. that is telling to me.

Seeing Bonnie still be a kid 14 (and what will be 16) years after her debut feels inauthentic to the precedent set by Andy and TS3. I’m sure the movie will be good bc Toy Story movies are always good. But they’ve lost that sense of realism, of moving time, of leaving something behind and NOT being able to pick back up right where you left off. That kept the TS movies grounded in bittersweet reality, that’s kinda the whole point. :/
