As part of my Fizz & Buster series, I made a bunch of sketches during the process. Some were created before and some after as I planned on continuing the project into potentially a larger adventure game. But it didn’t really get off the ground for various reasons. I wanted to flesh out Fizz’s world a bit and create a cast of fun characters that you could interact with.

Extra Ranty Edition! 🕹️ How Not To Fix Your Switch 2 The state of Washington is adding right to repair legislation. While most people may not be fixing their *own* phones, this allows things like repair shops to at least exist and hopefully flourish. If we want a culture of repairability, we need places that can repair. I’ve fixed multiple phones thanks to iFixit. And they just released a teardown on the Switch 2. I didn’t realize until I watched that video that JoyCon drift was such a widespread problem. I have already replaced one connector, and still suffer from… Read more: 💩 Link Dump June 7th 💩
