I’ve always drawn horror art. Lately though, I just want to sketch simple, happy things. I like dragon quest. Blue, round, bouncy slime. Its minimalism is comforting. Staring at nothing, permanently grinning. Just a blob. This is Don from the rhythm game Taiko no Tatsujin. » Continue Reading
I just woke up from a dream. I was in a busted up shelter during some war. I was putting the finishing touches on the illustrated book I had been working on (my “goal” in real life has always been to create an illustrated novel or comic). Suddenly, an enemy soldier breaks in and shoots me, non-fatally. The shot grazes my side or something, enough to cause heavy bleeding but not enough to kill if... » Continue Reading
To look at other humans as animals I am a stream of logic inhabiting a physical primate Culture can mean nothing at any time I need not restrict my thinking to the language I speak I need not base my actions on the learned actions of other animals I need not participate in a global consciousness I have a slot of allotted time in this reality It’s estimated to last around 70 years It is very hard... » Continue Reading
Humor and music are amazing. Wow, nothing has given me more inspiration than laughter and music. I don’t even feel guilty about listening to music. It’s a healthy pleasure. When I’m laughing too, I feel fine with being alive. Indeed, I think I might be fine with dying if it were around friends and a nice song was playing. Gotta keep myself from looking up why we evolved to like music and humor. ... » Continue Reading
Did some doodling while winding down tonight, and figured I’d post it here. octopus… caterpillar… crab… man? I don’t know. Looking forward to starting my new job in the coming week. Just got hired! Nothing special, just a store job. But it’s right near my apartment and the mount » Continue Reading
Do you ever think… I’m really still alive? This life of mine is still going on. A few minutes ago I resolved that who I am, who I was born as, is my identity. But that was a few minutes ago. I am still here. I don’t truly have to resolve anything, I can just do it. Few things in the past actually matter, because the past eats up and kills most things it touches. Somehow, I’m a part of existence. ... » Continue Reading
Do you know Welcome to the Game? It is a horror/puzzle computer game. The player is stationed at their computer in their 8th floor apartment. The goal of the game is to browse disturbing deepweb sites looking for keycodes hidden in the pages, in order to access a live torture stream called the “Red Room.” The reason for finding this stream is surrounded by a lot of cryptic story elements, but ov... » Continue Reading
Exercise clears the head and relaxes. But after exercising, I do not enjoy how it makes me feel content with doing nothing. Some say exercise increases their productivity. Maybe the reason I feel so brainless and “autopiloted” after exercising is just because my mind is in a state of enhanced focus so I can enjoy entertainment and media without worrying about other stresses. The advent of increasi... » Continue Reading
It’s nice to have an active retro site like this. It’s common opinion that the predominant online culture and etiquette on places like twitter, YouTube, and all of the largest media platforms have only continued to spiral downwards in quality over the years. “Echo chambers,” “self-obsessed,” “toxic,” “formulated,” “corporate…” all descriptors I see frequently thrown around. I’d like to use this s... » Continue Reading
