[A TrashCan carol (page 4)]

As a childless dog dad, I can confirm it's harder to write child-friendly stories when I'm not constantly thinking: "But how will this influence my (hypothetical) daughter?" Not impossible (just gotta remember I was a child, once), but yeah, especially with how tame children's media seems these days, the temptation to cram innuendos in my supposedly-kid-friendly stories, just to make the lives of actual parents more difficult, is strong indeed.

[Squirrel Girl]

...Okay, fine. I looked up "Marvel Rivals Squirrel Girl" after looking at this sexy piece. And of course, as excellent as her re-design is in that new game, I was mildly disappointed she didn't have as much meat on her bones compared to your drawing. Marvel seems to have done a good job for the first time in a while, but I still like your take on "Squirrel Girl" better.

[A Flock of Barnies]

I want whatever he's on!

Barney’s been eating some “special” Fruity Pebbles.

[astro bot!]

This game was such a breath of fresh air (and still is--apparently it just released some Holiday DLC level even though Team Asobi said it wouldn't get any more DLC). I recently watched a "making-of" featurette on Astro Bot on YouTube and thought to myself, as members of Asobi talked about the importance of prioritizing fun and "good game feel" over all else in game design, "wait, shouldn't this be the priority of EVERY game ever being made, to be fun first and foremost?"

But anyway, great job capturing the simple whimsy of Astro Bot and the universe he occupies in your latest render. Hopefully this funny little robot is the wake-up call the gaming industry needs (particularly the so-called "AAA" industry and Sony PlayStation) to once again prioritize simple, un-pretentious whimsy over ever-so-slightly better ray traced reflections that our eyes likely can't even perceive at this point, or preachy messaging that essentially tries to make us guilty for playing video games at all.

[Find Luigi]

I always knew there was something "off" about Luigi...

[BADMAN & Other "No More Heroes" Sketches]

One day I'll play these "No More Heroes" games.

[scarface & venom]

Marvel is getting a little desperate with these crossover events, aren't they?

[Pokemon JacobDex 12/10/24]

Not even the majestic Lapras can be spared from your tendency to give creatures weird, bulbous eyes...

[Ranger Smith]

He THICC, boi.

Carcitypilot31 responds:

Either that, or his pants are really baggy.

[Dance and sing a song for a while...]

She's probably listening to 12-Bar Bot (FUNFAIR REMIX) from Astro Bot. By the way, did you just make this to get free suggestions of new songs to listen to?

Yes.. yes.. >:)
