Beneath the streets of London, an angry mouse seeks revenge against the god who stole his tail. An epic RPG of miniature proportions!

I'm starting to like the idea of a browser (Arc) making YouTube videos about updates...who would have thought

Some great posts here… we are starting to need a save button 👀

One of the most accurate quotes on creativity:

“Creativity represents a miraculous coming together of the uninhibited energy of the child with its apparent opposite and enemy, the sense of order imposed on the disciplined adult intelligence.” 

– Norman Podhoretz (Writer)

Nota.md is a great note app that nobody talks about. It saves everything in plain text files / folders and is as fast as a native app. Although, apparently, it was written in PHP/laravel  😳

Searching for references with a cosmopolitan, elegant, New Yorker cover style vibe for a personal project. If you have any, please share :)

What kind of cultural works give you a sense of coziness regardless of the nostalgia? Some for me: Animal Crossing, Stardew Valley, Moomin, Studio Ghibli films, lo-fi girl

This illustration is called Designer. I sketch it on Figma, do some drawing on Procreate, rearrange on Figma, and then finalize it on Procreate. Sometimes I use Figma in my illustration work because it's a place where I feel comfortable and can take a more analytical approach.

Do you already have an idea of what you will try to accomplish in 2024? If so, what is it?

Curious if Posts/read.cv would ever consider adding ActivityPub? Can deffo see a future where Posts becomes the design community of the fediverse

My only place is here, mastodon and Retro.
It's also important to be in a comfortable place.

Tweaking obsidian is a nice and time-consuming hobby

In today's fast growing world, I need to remind myself to take everything slow. Even designing things. The importance of these smalls moments crafting beautiful and amazing things while also embedding great functionality in them is immense.

Game Recommendation: Small Saga is a beautiful, small RPG about mice, vengeance, and revolution. It plays like old-time JRPGs. It's short, has a great atmosphere, and has that "je ne sais quoi" that makes you feel it was made with love.

How do you guys save references? Eagle.cool, are.na, pinterest, cosmos, savee.it , other?

More interest in apps that won't lock me in

Scavengers Reign is a great sci-fi/adventure animation on HBO max. It’s both unique and refreshing, even heavily referencing pop culture—Moebius, Akira, La Planète Sauvage, Ori… to name a few that come to mind.

The year is 2033, and all of your clothes are running low on battery

Be a traditionalist: consume the internet as in the old days. Long text-based articles, RSS feeds, lengthy videos, and social media that is about social (not ads). Reject reels when consuming media. Your attention span will be grateful; life will be a short bit easy.

Blast from the past. Created a full design system for the Nintendo DS. Hope this brings back great memories for all of you.

Due to the Brazilian men's football team not qualifying for the Olympics, people in Brazil are now following women's football like never before. At least here in Rio, bars are full to watch the games. A cool collateral effect :)

My first post was a shot of the process of this pixel art. Since then, it’s been sitting on my SSD because I’m not very good at animations and don’t know how to make it loop. Does anyone have tips or advice?

Some Brazilian art. Woodcut made by the artist Samico (1928 - 2013)

Here's the wip2 of my first pixel art. I'm considering naming it "Strange Handheld."What are your thoughts? Any feedback? 

(It’s still a bit messy, but real wip)

Cosmos is such a well-crafted product 🤌 with a vibe that falls somewhere between Pinterest and Are.na. Unfortunately, the inability to export to local files is a deal-breaker for me :( I need to have ownership of my data. Services come and go, my references data not so much

Definitely not my cup of tea

Watched "The French Dispatch" by Wes Anderson recently. I love the work of Javi, the illustrator behind the covers of the French Dispatch's prop magazine 👇
