Source Filmmaker (Part 3)

Since Part 2 of this adventure, I spent my entire Summer learning a tiny bit more about Source Filmmaker. I began keeping a notepad for my random SFM ideas and super duper secret plot stuff for my Servers webcomic. There are plenty of new, exciting, and hilarious stuff I would like to make and I […]

Instagram

I have been posting a bit more on my Instagram. Previously it was supposed to be an “influencer” account that would pair well with my Twitch channel, but at the moment, I am mostly posting both my recent and past work. https://www.instagram.com/usaokay/ There are some things I am learning about Instagram, which of course the […]

The Easter Eggs and Cameos in my work

I love easter eggs. There’s a joy in the discovery of something that seems out of place in an otherwise normal setting, much like finding a white and red striped jacket-wearing person in a crowd of people and/or props. Making a picture and comic are both long boring processes. To keep focused, I try to […]

Making a game purchase

A single dollar holds a lot of intrinsic value. Before I head into the local retailer to make a purchase, I usually think up of several factors to my purchase: Have I loved the previous entry the same development team has put out? Have I enjoyed the demo or limited-time offering (ex. Game Pass, beta, […]

Laid-Back Camp – A Cozy, Fuzzy Life

Camping was my childhood fantasy. Laying underneath the stars, sitting next to the crackling flames, and reading a good book are all what I envisioned whenever I dream about camping. Then I checked out the price of camping supplies and my dreams were shattered. Nowadays, manga and anime series Laid-Back Camp offer a much similar, […]

Virtual Reality Reality

Virtual Reality: A new world to fully explore and to escape from as you’re continually making an ass out of yourself playing it in public. The technology can only grow through consumer demand, and as such, it depends on what is available and the myriad of content the software can provide. Oculus Quest 2 If […]

Source Filmmaker (part 2)

It has finally been a year since I begun using Source Filmmaker for realsies. Throughout the year of learning SFM, I got a stronger grasp on particle effects, lightning, and scene composition. The SFM subreddit’s Discord has been incredibly helpful. Out of several other SFM communities, they’ve been up-to-date on the latest techniques and provide […]

Anime Starter List

When Youtuber Andrew Rea of “Binging with Babish” asked for anime recommendations, I took the time to whip up a list of shows that potentially will work for anyone who isn’t too ingrained into the Japanese culture. Cause, let’s face it, a story like Uzaki-chan Wants to Hang Out! or Neon Genesis Evageleon would outright […]

Year in Review (2020)

Covid-19 Coronavirus mucking up my general plans has been understated. There is the looming fear surrounding the virus, conspiracy theorists, and “muh freedoms” people. The little thing I do on making the best out of it was getting a face mask showing a dog’s mouth. That appears to amuse a ton of random strangers and […]

Video Games of 2020 (Part 2)

Remember when I promised myself to lower my gaming time this year? Yeah, whoops. Thank the coronavirus for that. Or don’t. Animal crossing: New Horizons I bought the Nintendo Switch – Animal Crossing edition, but I never planned to pick up the game myself. Eventually I relented after seeing how popular and creative it has […]
