Why Can't Critics Talk About Fresh Off the Boat? - I am excited as shit for this show now, because it's one of those things, where you grow up Asian-American, and growing up you have the choice between the Asian (as in, from Asia) characters or the white-or-black American characters, and neither of those fit quite right and there's this blank ( Read more... ) -

I have a vid draft! I've been obsessively tweaking the shit out of it, though. Ugh, timings. Why are you so hard?
I'm pretty sure I don't actually know if it's any good anymore, so um, vid beta? It's Legend of Zelda, but I don't think you need to know anything about Zelda to watch it.

Dear self,
You are not allowed to play video games until you finish this vid. No, seriously. Even if it is the same video game(s) you are vidding right now.
Love,
me

so that vid thing
It's no longer just a twinkle in my eye, but it feels like it's still forever away from being a real thing. I've been sort of source-acquiring and clipping as I go, and it is legit super terrible right now. None of the beats feel quite right, and I'm not sure if I'm rushing things because of the pace of the song. But I do like the song, and I do ( Read more... ) -
quick hits
- I almost kind of have a vid idea, though I don't quite have a song for it yet, which is a problem. Also, it is for a video game, which quite possibly makes finding footage even more terrible than that of a TV show. Possibly. And I'm still looking for a good song for it, even though that is usually the minimum I expect from a vid idea: a source ( Read more... ) -

an ode to Twine
So I've spent a bunch of time with a few other interactive fiction engines. Notably Ren'Py, a visual novel engine, and Inform, mainly for parser-based Zork-style IF. I may take a look at ChoiceScript at some point as well. They're all fine tools, for sure, and maybe I'll actually build real cool things with them some day, but they haven't stuck ( Read more... ) -
Yearly Fic Review and Yuletide Reveals 2014
As always, my Yuletide reveal stories first! There were a whole four (4!) of them this year. I honestly wasn't trying to write this much. It just happened, man. Yuletide. It gets into your head.
