I can’t remember if I mentioned it anywhere here before or not but earlier in the year I got my hands on the HP WMR headset. WMR for the uninitiated means Windows Mixed Reality, which Windows 10 has native support for. WMR is the unassuming less flashy end of the VR headsets. That isn’t to…
Early yesterday I got chatting to my coworkers about Colin Craig, disgraced local conservative MP and property mogul, who’s emails wooing his secretary got shared publicly during the ensuing courtcase. Now I’m not here to cast aspersions or anything like that. I’m interested in poetry, or more specifically, the opinion actual poets have on his…
Matt and I have been working on something very special these last couple days. We could have been doing proper work, as in work we’re actually paid to do, OR we could spend hours and hours building a joke website no one’s ever going to look at. I present to you: ThoughtsandPrayers.site This is a…
I don’t know what Hollywood thinks is a good way to honour the memory of Robin Williams but this isn’t it. First Disney’s Aladdin and now this. Joker follows the same beats as it’s originator. A crazy guy gets out of an asylum with a renewed interest in bringing joy to the world only to…
This is part of the Blobby RPG I’m working on. The stat blocks here are subject to change, so check that main post to see any changes. This river living race builds communities on mudflats and tide lines. Their tunnels burrow into the ground and usually curve into U bends so deeper “caverns” aren’t floaded.…
Abominable is the latest animated movie by Dreamworks, a studio I think deserves way more credit for the movies they’ve pumped out than they’ve recieved. Something about them usually means they’re missing some of the Pop sensibility that makes Pixar’s stuff gobble up all the attention. Abominable is about a girl, Yi, who lost her…
I’ve had a pet project on the back burner for a couple years now, and by that I mean most of a decade. Because at this age, anything that happened “just the other day” happened an entire lifetime ago. It’s an RPG based on my Blobby World, a whimsical place where little cube people speak…
One of the most important parts of drawing is getting eyes right. People are drawn (ha!) to eyes and the people who aren’t are better at other things. You can pretty much draw your form like complete garbage but as long as they eyes are all good people will forget that the rest of the…
For years Facebook has been spreading fake news. They’ve been combatting its propagation across their network the best they can by clamping down on clickbait and low value content but at the very heart of Facebook is the root of all evil and it’s called “It’s Complicated”. In fairness, there are so many options now…
One of the first big differences you’ll find in Maplestory 2 is during character generation. In the original Maplestory the clothes you get as a fresh noob will stay on you for about as long as it took to get to Lith Harbour. In Maplestory 2 however the clothes you choose are cosmetic, meaning you…
