How To Fry Shrimp In 3 Seconds With The Medicine Sellers

They should fuck nasty.

From the new video; sorry about the lopped-off heads in the corner there.

sometimes the tragedy is fun! sometimes the fact that there will be no happy ending is fun! sometimes it is really neat that one character is stuck in the past at the expense of the present and the other is going scorched earth towards the future and they’ll never be on the same page ever again! i like that.

I think what's fascinating about this whole Unity debacle is how clear it makes something.

The entire C-suite of every company on earth are idiots.

That's not hyperbole, they are people serially uninterested in becoming informed and constitutionally incapable of hearing they're wrong about something. They build a thick shell of unreality and assure themselves they can direct any human venture even if they know nothing of how the enterprise in question works or how its' customers interact with it.

They had it. They were THE tool for learning to build games and even worked for larger projects. Producers and consumers alike knew Unity as a trusted albeit occasionally teased household name.

And they fucked their institutional trust like a university of Florida fraternity pledge strung out on something called "gator blood" fucks a supermarket turkey.

And it isn't even just Unity - look at Twitter, the smoking ruin of something once synonymous with the digital commons. It isn't just Twitter - look at grocery prices.

Our "business leaders", our "movers and shakers" don't know what they're doing. An MBA is taken as a stand-in for competence and knowledge. Because the neo-feudal overlords can never hear no.

The enshittification continues.

I forget the exact details or which study it was, but iirc there was a study that found that, between businesses run by people with MBAs and people without them, the former were pretty universally worse places to work (lower wages, worse conditions, etc) - without any corresponding increase in profit. So there's no actual benefit to having people with MBAs in charge, only downsides.

So how do I do this.

It's been a long time since I was active on Tumblr at all. Don't get me wrong, I lurk, I have other active blogs, I've been on Tumblr since 2007, but after the purge I sort of left Tumblr (and the internet as a whole kinda) as a creative and gave up.

Then 2020 happened and I read a really cool manga and yeah its like cringey and dumb because I didn't stop making art at fucking all, I made a ton of stuff after I left here, I made stuff I didn't show people and stuff I did and I wrote things and played d&d with friends

I gained and lost jobs and friends, a lot changed. I made this blog when I was just beginning to plan my future, I wanted to go to art school and I wanted to make cool stuff. I think the whole 'the pandemic changed me' thoughts are a little overplayed for media but... Stuff did change for me. I livestreamed, I did so much I wouldn't be able to sum up in a post.

I scrolled back through this blog and noticed just how dead I left it, how far back in the timeline it is for me. It's not that I don't like what I posted. I guess what I'm saying is; I feel like maybe just coming back without some kind of hey its me post wouldn't make sense.

So hey. It's me. I left for awhile and I'm back now actually this time.

If you don't know me, Hi! I'm Apollo and I draw stuff sometimes. Stuff like this.

But also like this.

Sometimes I do things

Sometimes I barely get out of bed

A lot of the time I don't feel like I know what I'm making anymore

Or why

And I can't promise not to vanish into the ether at random

Or forget that I even exist here

I don't really do consistency well But I'm back and proud to be

not me getting teary-eyed at four in the morning about how at their core soulsborne games really are meant to be a cooperative experience that constantly drive home how even when things seem hopeless and terrifying you are never truly alone.....and in fact it's in your darkest moments that you should reach out for help, because chances are there will be someone there ready to do what they can.......ough the inherent selfless love at the core of humanity that refuses to stop shining even in the darkest depths of despair...........the reminder that even when you're suffering there are people in the darkness with you and that you should never be afraid to reach out to them for help..............that sometimes we truly can't fight the shadows on our own but that's okay because we don't have to........and the reminder that when we can we should turn around and offer that same help to others........

It’s Back.

It’s high time for me to come back to the hell site known as Tumblr. I’m still updating literally everything here, but I am back. For now. Not sure if it’s for good.

[appalling-hymns]

I’ve officially left Tumblr.

**This is a scheduled post to fill my feed while I delete tags**

{Hey guys, so I wanted to leave Tumblr a long time ago but it just never seemed like the right time and I tried and tried to go but I just don’t want to be on platforms that kill my content because it may or may not be NSFW and I’m tired of being repeatedly flagged on not just this blog (where I’ve been inactive for years) but on every blog I host. So this is my official goodbye. I’m going to upkeep this Tumblr as a landing page for my content and a place for updates but in general I’m done being here. Thanks for the memories, and find me on Twitter instead! New things coming soon on all my art platforms, hopefully with more recurring updates than on here.}
