That's MISTER Pointyhead to you. I was the lead writer on TGA Game of the Year-winning ASTRO BOT.
Just a little reminder to everyone: Algorithms are useless. It's very hard to find cool stuff without being shown it by someone else. So if you find something cool - a band, a game, a video essay or anything else - share it and tell people about it. And thanks to anyone who does! You're cool!
I made a website that lets you cut out old magazines from the internet archive (or any PDFs you own) and make collage art out of them: ✂️ clipart.studio

Luna Abyss was the biggest (pleasant) surprise of the year so far. *This* is among one of the more unpleasant surprises. Good luck to the whole team, who should be beyond proud of what they achieved.
