  • Youtube – Hidari

    I was lying awake sick for most of last night but one positive thing coming out of that is this amazing animation I was recommended by the youtube-algorithm. This hyped me so much to pick up one of my project ideas again and pursue it further. That was the look and feel I was hoping…

  • GDC Presentation: Occupational Burnout in Games

    Great presentation overall. It starts with a definition of Occupational Burnout and then three people present their experiences. GDC Vault: Occupational Burnout in Games (Youtube-Link)

  • Ezra Collective – Tiny Desk Concert

    I first came across the band via the youtube music playlist “Jazz for Hip Hop Heads” or something similar. Since then, it’s been one of my go-to bands for smiles and a good mood. Youtube Link to Ezra Collective’s Tiny Desk Concert Ezra Collectives Bandcamp page

  • Music: Cari Cari

    A couple of years ago, the song “Summer Sun” by Austrian Duo “Cari Cari” (Youtube-link) popped up in my Spotify playlist, and it became my go-to good morning song for quite a while.I don’t use Spotify anymore, so I have to look actively for new music. This explains why it took me until now to…

  • Board Game: Cubologic

As it happened, they showcased a game in their window and the cover immediately drew my eye; because the art for it was done by Ben Newman. Ben Newman is a British illustrator whom I came across several…

  • Music I like: Cicada

    Fantastic instrumental music. I just sat here with a blanket, a warm-water bottle, my eyes closed, listening to this album and letting myself be carried away after a less-than-optimal night. https://cicada.bandcamp.com/album/seeking-the-sources-of-streams-2

  • Stuff I like: Comic – Betty Boob

    Betty Boob is a comic told with almost no words. The drawings are expressive, sometimes a lot of fun, sometimes conveying heart-crushing sadness – beautifully written by Véro Cazot, and illustrated by Julie Rocheleau. Betty Boob is the protagonist of the comic; she’s been diagnosed with breast cancer and lost her hair and her left…

  • Stuff I like: Comic – Ultralazer

    I just got two volumes of the French comic book Ultralazer, published by Editions Delcourt. The book is created by three people, two of those are the two artists doing the artwork. Maxence Henry drew the characters, while Yvan Duqe drew all the backgrounds. You can see a few pages from the first book and…
