#introductions

Hi, everyone; I'm tarah, otherwise known as lobst. I've drawn a few comics that people have seemed to enjoy, and programmed a game demo that won 10th-place in a 140+ entry game jam despite having no sound. My ability to finish any individual project has been stymied by mental health problems for over a year, but I've been seeking treatment and making progress. I've also been streaming videogames on weekends. Watch this space!

Looking at laptops, a stylus-compatible midrange 2-in-1 with integrated AMD graphics looks like it'd be the complete package. Gonna install Linux Mint on it with Lutris, pair my Dualshock 4, and treat it as the Nintendo Switch hardware upgrade we were all denied this year🔸

New phone case (interpreted from reference art) looking pretty alright #AnimalCrossing #ACNH #NintendoSwitch 🔸

Saw this movie for the first time in years last night and it still whips, not just as a direct retread of the anime's story beats, or as a sequence of dazzling visual setpieces that lean into the fake, but also thematically (both in the conflict with the villain and within the family). I was amazed at the scene where Pops recognized his mistake and told Speed he'd always be welcome at home, and I wonder if the Wachowskis meant for a trans parallel to be implied there

Twice in the last week my laptop has suddenly started rapidly spinning up its CPU fan after I pick it up and move it; the only thing that stops it is a hard reboot. Less than ideal, IMO 🔸

It reminds me of the Bethesdaland E3 presentation. Imagine a theme park where most of the rides could be represented by a weapons-ready photorealistic humanoid in the chin-down/eyes-up angry pose, aside from one, and it's Fallout Shelter 🔸

I've been enjoying watching Phen play Doom Eternal so far; the game's a comedy, but the most ridiculous moment to me by far was when he fired up the Bethesda launcher to be greeted by this collage of marketing images clearly focus-tested to sell M-rated games to adults 🔸

I can see myself having fun making patterns, but I'll have to test out how effective it'd be to make pixel art on PC and run it through a QR code generator before I commit to making anything for this🔸

Named my island after a Rippingtons track at the last minute and it grew on me quickly. Enjoying the gently communal nature of this setting #ACNH 🔸

Switch-owner pals, add me and maybe we can cross an animal sometime 🔸
