Putting money where mouth is in an industry that often doesn't KO_OP both announced AND released their new game Young Suns today; this is something I've been looking forward to for a long time for a few reasons: First off, KO_OP has never put out a bad game; hell Goodbye Volcano High was high on my 'best of 2023'...
Gigabash is actually good without all the DLC but it's nice to see the big three together finally This week, the latest DLC for Gigabash launched which brings characters from the 2023 CG anime version of Gamera to the battle. I've been banging the drum about Gigabash for a while; it's an incredibly fun battler from...
In which I challenge myself to draw a pokemon every day until I stop Fri 11/21/25 - Hisuian Voltorb For each of these sometimes I'm directly inspired, sometimes I just roll a random number. Voltorb was the latter; I got '100' on the list and thought sure, but since I played a fair amount of Arceus I wanted to do the...
A silly problem to have, but it's mine I've got this mug that was a present from my family. I love it. It makes me really happy because I drink a lot of coffee and I make a lot of music on gameboys and it was a really thoughtful present!! It's heat sensitive so a full cup of coffee (or tea or other hot beverage, I'm...
In which I challenge myself to draw a pokemon every day until I stop It's been a busy week so let's jump in! Tues 11/18/25 - Oshawott Man I've got no attachment to this thing but it IS cute and I legitimately hate how it's final evolution converts it from a cute otter biped to like, a weird quadruped dinosaur seal....
In which I challenge myself to draw a pokemon every day until I stop Sat 11/15/25 - Porygon I will always have a soft spot for Porygon. This creature was wronged by history, taking the blame for something that was not its fault. If you're unfamiliar with pokemon deep lore (I wouldn't blame you lmao), perhaps you've...
There's 'inspired by'...and then there's whatever this is Over the last month or so on any platform I use where ads exist (Which like let's be clear, is mainly gmail and google news which is on me for using either - I get that) I have been repeatedly served an add for an upcoming tabletop game called Twilight Sword....
In which I challenge myself to draw a pokemon every day until I stop I'm still not fully locked in on what the posting schedule for this project will be, so here's the latest three. As long as I draw them every day I feel like I've accomplished and when they get post is kind of an afterthought. Weds 11/12/25 - Numel...
In which I challenge myself to draw a pokemon every day until I stop Drawing and photographing and posting every day feels a bit much but I did want to get yesterdays onto the blog ASAP because it turned out to be motherfucking Togepi. Everyone loves Togepi!! It's a cute egg creature with trans rights colors (even...
In which I challenge myself to draw a pokemon every day until I stop The other day I realized I've never drawn a pokemon before. Ever. I was 16 when the first games came out but I've only casually played them off and on (and never to completion outside of Yellow) until ZA which like, fuck dude, I'm having so much...
