Finally pushed myself to finish the latest Zenless Zone Zero story. The timing of the in-game celebration mirrored the timing of Lunar New Year, which naturally led to the conclusion being filled with such optimism.
It was so moving man π got me out here singing, "Love will heal the world"
You will be the coolest person in your friend group when you understand vulnerability, intimacy and your humanity.
I really love seeing trends like, "Is [basic human behavior/analogue tech] making a comeback!?"
YES! Friction is fun and is akin to critical thinking! We've traded so much for the sake of convenience.
The Marathon Server Slam has been INCREDIBLE. I was in it for the art direction and lore. I'm locking in for the gunplay which, obviously, feels reminiscent of Destiny 2.
Finally had a chance to play Arknights: Enfield and I really love how much it reminds me of Death Stranding. The UI, the post-apocalyptic-hyper-utilitarian designs are siiiick!
The bird app really revived my interest in Afropessimism wow
A game title with pink bubbly letters has a layer of black tape over it. The image text reads "The Time I Tempt'd as a magical girl (coming soon) Arc"
Holographic cards with magical girl transformations sit behind a layer of electrical tape with image text. The text reads "Strange Powers"
An image of an emo capybara sits inside of a purple digital pet device
A halftone image of falling dice sits behind a layer of tape. Inside of the tape reads "Simple d6 system"
"Imagine actually hearing back from a job," @najmahsalam.bsky.social and I wondered, "but it's for a magical girl temp agency."
You're on thin ice, you start tomorrow and you have an emo capybara as a familiar. Lovely. A tease for an upcoming tabletop project from the both of us β¨
Been there buddy, I'm so sorry π«
These are so freaking cute!!!

New A$AP Rocky video featuring
Winona Ryder. Sonically, it reminds me of "Sunflower" and I love the trippy/choppy editing. Really gives it an analog feel π€π½

ME: yeah could i get the impossible burger with cheese.
THE VIZIER WHO'S BEEN ADVISING ME: ahh, an excellent choice sire. an imitation of the genuine article. there are some "friends" of yours to whom it bears a passing similarity
ME: you want anything
VIZIER: [chuckles] what i want is of no import
This all started after I stumbled upon Octavia Butler's journaling practice (vision journaling), which has been super encouraging.
I'm sure my algo is biased, but I've been seeing a lot of posts around journaling systems, vision journals, manifestation boards, etc.
This feels like perfect timing for the new year with resolutions and such.
Happy New Year!!!! ππΎπππΎπΎπΎ

Heading into 2026, I'm still looking for fulltime or contract work as a senior writer or narrative designer. If you need someone who can write sharp characters, poetic prose, and emotional stories, I'm available! You can find my portfolio here: www.hazelmonforton.com
I'm so sorry Naj, I hope he has a swift recovery ππ½ππ½ππ½
2026 taught me that my favorite sci-fi/fantasy trope is just worms.
Destiny 2 = Worms
Dune = Worms
Kill 6 Billion Demons
= Worms
Age of Wonders 4 = Worms (okay blood maggots, but still)
This also applies to cartoons and comics and basically everything. It doesnβt matter if you have a concept of something already out there. If you love it, do it. Your work will have your unique mark on it by virtue of being made by YOU. (Also two cakes.)
To be fair, they're offering REALLY good deals!!!!
The last week has been focused on:
1) Starting and catching up to "Kill Six Billion Demons."
2) Studying the morphology of Pennywise and learning that Stephen King has a multiverse???
3) Discovering Wizard QVC-styled skits from Wizards with Guns (courtesy of @najmahsalam.bsky.social ty)

There is full page splash that shows Prism holding a blue magnetic field on the left of the image and her holding a red field on the right of the image. A glass panel holds text that reads,"Our concept artist, Ty Davies, made Prismβs colors red & blue to act as visual cues for her magnetic powers. Her right arm is for attracting and throwing objects while her left propels her through maze-like platforms!"
Two portraits of Prism, a front view and a side view, are displayed. At the top right, a glass panel reads, "Every androidβs head wires are inspired by Black hairstyles." At the bottom left, another glass panel reads, " Prismβs wired buns were inspired by our Creative Directorβs afro-puffs from childhood."
A quarter-turn view of Prism's portrait sits on top of a glass panel. The glass panel reads, "Our hope is that black girls playing this game will feel inspired to explore the amazing shapes their hair can make! We want to push the boundaries of Black hairstyles in video games."
Meet Prism π¦ΈπΎββοΈπ€ the core to your experience in our upcoming afro-futuristic power fantasy with a Y2K aesthetic! Change the world with her magnetic powers while you uncover missing memory logs and unravel her past!. Her concept was designed by Ty Davies: @tyblimp.bsky.social
I recently had the pleasure of contributing to the content strategy and visual identity for Creative AF Games! The team has been working really hard on developing an eclectic and visually stunning project that we're proud of.
@monihymn.bsky.social's handle on mechanics, tabletop, writing, art and sound is insane. I'm always impressed every time I get to work with Armoni on any project.
