365 Days

At the start of 2021, I decided to challenge myself by making a piece of art every day. This wasn't necessarily a resolution, but more so a decision to practice my discipline.

Medallion's humming... that can only mean one thing! It's time to announce The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Songs of the Past! ⚔️

Through all the noise, today and every day, may we remember the silence left behind by those who gave everything.

Gratitude should not live in one day, one post, or one long weekend. It should follow us into the moments we get to enjoy because of their sacrifice.

@ALegendaryDrops I haven’t played the game, but the trailers gave off this exact vibe when the game first premiered.

[Reid Wiseman @astro_reid]

Only one chance in this lifetime…

Like watching sunset at the beach from the most foreign seat in the cosmos, I couldn’t resist a cell phone video of Earthset. You can hear the shutter on the Nikon as @Astro_Christina is hammering away on 3-shot brackets and capturing those exceptional Earthset photos through the 400mm lens. @AstroVicGlover was in window 3 watching with @Astro_Jeremy next to him.

I could barely see the Moon through the docking hatch window but the iPhone was the perfect size to catch the view…this is uncropped, uncut with 8x zoom which is quite comparable to the view of the human eye. Enjoy.

Breaking down the idea behind Shadow Brain through definition, structure, and visual language.

Every brand has a surface. This is everything working behind it.

Full brand reveal coming April 20.

@mightymooseART Everyone rushes these days just to see if they got a hit too, it’s annoying and gives off gambling vibes. Wish more people slowed down to enjoy the art or design of each individual card.

@shad0va I didn’t say anything about Bungie, the Marathon score, or Marathon as a game. I’m saying Crimson Desert should’ve been given more time to review/process and the two reviews should’ve been done by two different people since they’re such large, time intensive games.

[James Walter @_ghostcowboy_]

@TieGuyTravis @MarathonTheGame Even if my misguided assumptions were correct, I wouldn’t expect you to ever admit it 😂 Props for standing your ground at least.

Not even trying to talk shit either. Just saying how it looks and giving my opinion. Reviewing the reviewer, you could call it.

[James Walter @_ghostcowboy_]

@TieGuyTravis @MarathonTheGame The 6 feels like clickbait almost, especially with the follow up articles that seem to bash the games progress forward. I’m glad you enjoyed Marathon, I have no opinion on that. But all things considered, I still think the review for CD should’ve been done by someone else.

[James Walter @_ghostcowboy_]

@TieGuyTravis @MarathonTheGame Not your replies to me btw, I appreciate the response. The 6 just feels weird, like if the game has that many good parts, it should be higher. Or if it was that bad, just rate it lower. Especially when IGN is known for giving 7 as a rating frequently on divisive games.

[James Walter @_ghostcowboy_]

@verytragic According to some reviewers, you’ve seen all there is to see 😂🙄 Every time I see a post like this I’m just itching to play more.

[James Walter @_ghostcowboy_]

@TieGuyTravis @MarathonTheGame 4/ You clearly stated through different X comments you don’t care about the reader feedback and you stand by your score, but in that case I think IGN should rethink who reviews specific games going forward because it makes their platform look bad in situations like this.

[James Walter @_ghostcowboy_]

@TieGuyTravis @MarathonTheGame 3/ You’re allowed to have your own opinion and like multiple types of games. The issue is that in this instance, I think you had too much on your plate, you weren’t in the headspace for a game like CD, and you gave more time to Marathon/not enough to CD. Wrong reviewer for it.
