Early opinion on the remake of a game that defined my childhood: Looks good. Im honestly pretty excited even though I initially wasnt sure when then teaser came out. Feels like they care a lot about what made the original good, like the dungeons and set pieces. C:

Four of my illustrations I did this year of cool spots I enjoy. Mainly doing Ottawa locations, but I branched out to Toronto for one. All done up on my iPad with Procreate, using reference I source from Google street view, photos I've taken, and found online.

out it goes: my long post about Rachel Hope Cleves's claim that Tillie Walden plagiarised her book. It's long because Cleves's claim is much, much more bizarre than it looked on first reading. I'm not going to bury the lede here. Cleves's claim does not hold up. buttondown.com/thene/archiv...

stick a pin in this metaphor …because these covers are a microcosm of the entire conflict; Walden's book is mostly built on writing and other objects left by Sylvia Drake, Charity Bryant, and others. Her work includes many elements from these records that Cleves does not refer to in her book, and many of her interpretations of those records are different from Cleves's interpretations, often intentionally so. In addition to her historical basis, Walden's book includes fictional dialogue and story elements that are original to her work, some of which are inspired by Walden's own life.

i am working on a very, very long blog post that could really have fit into a skeet: When someone posts that "this website/journal article/etc proves my dramatic claim!!!" and then does not link to the website, journal article, etc, it is because it does not in fact prove their dramatic claim.
