- Reposted by KylieSometimes I think it'd be a good idea for CEOs to be scored, Metacritic-style, based on how others evaluate how they run a company. I like to imagine it would encourage more restraint. Their incompetence does real damage. You shouldn't have to suffer executives just because you want to be a gamedev.
- Silk Song, more like Sweat Song amirite? (I get so sweaty playing the tense moments in Silk Song 😂)
- Reposted by Kylie🇬🇧✊🌀 Ubisoft : enough is enough! Faced with the arbitrary decision of the CEO who doesn’t even dare talking to employees anymore, unions are calling for a strike on February 10th, 11th and 12th.

After that, there will be a big English debate and lots of media coverage, but it will be too late to have a say. Only members can vote for leader. link below:

- Spending holiday break learning a new painting style that I was terrified of. Hair done, all the rest to go and this is just the first shading pass 😱
- If you have already finished your annual Lord of the Rings holiday viewing, may I recommend Haunted Hotel. Linking it to Rick and Morty is a huge disservice (couldn't find a basic image without that line) as it's a genuinely funny and mature show without being edgy or gross.
- Reposted by KylieThank you all so much for your support this year! 🌺 A reference pack with all 165 freebies from 2025 is available now. You can get it here: ko-fi.com/s/c09a29cf04
- I know the Switch was given a hard time for joycon drift but in seven years I only replaced my joycons once. I'm now about to buy my 4th PS5 controller in 4 years cause they all have the exact same drift 😤😤😤
