my favourite stupid detail about Persona 3: Reload is how every electrical appliance in the dorm has the EXACT amount of plugs and wires running along towards outlets or extending plug strips. you could follow a cable from anything it will logically lead to an outlet

i adore the "hand crafted" look on the models in South of Midnight. i was arguing with a friend whether they looked like indents and thumb prints or statues hand carved with a knife. either way, it's cool as fuck

he calls it "Expedition 33" because it's in english. she calls it "Clair Obscur" because it references an italian painting technique that examines contrasts between light and dark themes. i, a genius, call it "Clair Obscur" because it's only 3 syllables and i'm lazy

few experiences in gaming really match up to the feeling of playing a Souls game on launch week, coming up to a room, seeing hundreds of Bloodstrains all over the floor and going, "what the hell happened here?"

This anim I made is another one of those "useless" ones. During that chase in Ori there was nothing in the background, so lightning-fast I made a cheap pass (the one above), we put it in the game and we saw that although it did't add anything at a gameplay level, it does add atmosphere.

It's cool to be inspired by what we see in the movies, but we also have super interesting characters around us. So inspired by the atmosphere on the Mediterranean coast @laurasirvent.com and I created: The TETE Tribal tattoos, tanned body and protein shakes.
