Sometimes I wonder if the real reason I’m not a more successful artist is that I insist on making niche works which will appeal to, for instance, only those within the intersecting sliver of the venn diagram of people who like the Hollow Knight Silksong family of video games and people who are from Toronto and/or are urban public transit enthusiasts, who will recognise this stop on the TTC. Anyway that’s why I made this a limited edition print.

What about not attacking successful indiegames for setting "unrealistic expectations" and instead direct your anger towards the encroaching consolidation of the industry that affects big AAA studios as well small indie outfits.

Tired of the gaming press pitting indies against each other, instead of calling out their big sponsors for sucking up all the resources while delivering half a billion dollar of unplayable slop.

ONE HOUR AGO:
my husband: do you think the Steam servers will survive the Silksong launch?

me: of course, they've handled tons of very big launches for games that are much larger downloads, they'll be able to handle it

ONE MINUTE AGO: my husband starts screaming
