A designer who documents weird thoughts and rather unpopular absurd opinions about life, art, languages, and videogames, half of which are somehow Doom related.

Found at the local Superstore! On sale!!! Even found my size, which is a rarity! But it was clearly designed for guys, so it was waaay too long/narrow, and obviously no "amazing chest ahead" space. Eh. I always knew it: genders are such a scam πŸ€£πŸ˜‘
Awesome that Steam is doing a special bird sale event!.. However, unfortunately, the bird nerd in me was already familiar with at least 90% of the games featured. But I'd like more bird events in the future, please!!! 😁😊 steamcommunity.com/groups/ne… #gaming_news via @steam

Returning back to being artistically productive AND in the right mood is very hard. VERY HARD. If you've ever been a creator, you are probably familiar with this feeling. I'm looking forward to returning back into art, since art is the refuge I possibly need the most lately.

Life is a hard pill to swallow sometimes. But it has to be done. And my creations will help me. I haven't created anything for so long, my brain is wilting. That's why I disappeared into the oblivion again (not the gametho). Off to the new beginnings.

Suddenly, I see this on Steam. Hmmm. Nope, never heard of this country πŸ˜…πŸ€£ P.S. And yes, I usually do read what's written in a small print, lol

To stop swearing, one gotta replace swear words with other, totally appropriate words. From now on, the new one for me will be BUSHTIT. Because I'm a bird nerd, so it's applicable. 🐦 So now every time I don't like something, I'll be like, "What's this bushtit?!"

Playing Hellpoint. Perhaps imperfect, but an absolutely beautiful gem made by a Canadian studio. Unfairly forgotten. Revisiting Hellpoint is purely delightful to me. I'm mindblown by the designs and extreme subtlety of storytelling, even more so than on our last playthrough.

You know that you're definitely a 100% bird nerd when you make a Keep note named "Interesting places to see next time when in X town", and every single item on the list is a birding hotspot. πŸ¦†πŸ¦…πŸ¦β€β¬›

I might be one of those rare kinds of outdated peeps who still manually check out their favourite accounts on social medias. As if it's 2005 again. It never changed for me, really. I hope there are other weird outdated peeps like myself, who check out my accounts manually, too.

When Microsoft wanted people to take Windows 95 seriously for gaming, they used DOOM. They made a promo where Bill Gates appeared in a trench coat inside the game world. Microsoft basically used hell demons to sell Windows.

Not that you asked, but I'm a huge fan of mall vaporwave. It's a tribute to the 80's vision of the future – malls, where everyone would hang out forever. Of course the dream didn't last. This is the best look back at that era: youtube.com/watch?v=FZUfiW3W… #vaporwave

Better late than never. As usual, I just dropped out for a few months. That's because this dinosaur finds it hard to navigate modern socials. ... Although I'm not yet fully a dinosaur in our DnD campaign. Yet. *transformation music is quietly playing on the background*

Just read about all the drama surrounding Starsand Island and that it's been pulled out from Steam. Tetris, huh? That's interesting πŸ™ƒ I would've given it a try maybe, but the anime art style just bothers me. Eeeeew.

Which, again, cripples my opportunities to discover new stuff and grow as an artist GREATLY, because I want to explore the other peoples' creations to see more daring variety in the visuals. But I guess, that's my eternal struggle πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ Can't break through the wall of viral.

I’ve sold 60 copies of my first game. No publisher. No team. Just me, working from my living room. I make niche games most people will probably never play. But I love drawing every frame, composing the music, building these worlds. So I keep going.

Browsed Tumblr tags, came across something that made me thoughtful. So, we could say, there's original art and UNoriginal art. Which sounds pretty offensive to the artists at the first glance, especially considering art as a phenomena and its nature...

However, we could also say, there's fan art and original art. That allows us to put things into a better perspective. It's neither offensive or controversial - it's about proper categorization, and the target audience 🧐☝️

Reorganizing home prior to moving is sad and nostalgic at the same time. It's almost ironic how we happened to do that right as the House-themed Steam sale hit. It aligns too well. Therefore my first real (not just cosmetic crap) Doom WAD is gonna be called OurHouse.wad.
