I can’t help it, sometimes I have long-winded thoughts about the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise and need to post them somewhere.

I like Fire Emblem.

Just wanted to shout-out this great piece, “I used to be a black artist”, by nzumbi on itch.io.

I was pretty big on Rick and Morty when it first came out.

It’s too early to tell if it’s a trend, but 2026 will end up including two major Nintendo remakes: Ocarina of Time and Star Fox 64.

In spirit of getting into Web 2.0 / “indie web” habits…I now have a personal website to accompany this blog: discardpile.online Check it out!

In my senior year of high school, my art teacher gave us a big final project before our end-of-year gallery: the Sixty Hour Project.

Back again for Volume 2.
