Fog Link ParentGood comparison! Be Right Back was the name of the episode. Excellent acting by Domhall Gleeson. I can recommend anyone interested to give it a try; the themes are spookily prescient.Good comparison! Be Right Back was the name of the episode.

The characters are for the most part well written, the spooky scenes well drawn, and the magical keys brought me back to a fun time of childhood where I imagined special powers or abilities.
As the series progressed, I realized the ethical implications of these power-granting keys would cause serious harm to people in the real world. A fun subversion of the typical power fantasy.

I found it to be less of a documentary and more of an exercise in creativity, symbolism, and finding joy in animating natural dialogue.Flashing lights warning for those who are sensitive.

This is a piece of media best explored with minimal knowledge of the lore so as to form your own opinions. The game actively challenges political biases and has a wicked sense of dark humor as you piece the story together through dialogue. It's a long but rewarding experience played as little or as long as you want, and may better be understood as an interactive visual novel with game-like elements.

It borders on camp given the inconsistent quality of acting—one example is a scientist, a minor character, who overthinks a deadly life-or-death challenge with exaggerated facial expressions and a rambling inner monologue—but never falls into parody.
The main characters are well written and the action sequences are exciting. I was disappointed with how the second season ended on a massive cliffhanger calling into question the very reality the story had been building up.

I have a specific question about returning to your creative side after a long hiatus
Oftentimes I find myself feeling overwhelmed when listening to music that speaks to me. I feel vivid imagery cover the landscape in my mind's eye, as if a custom made music video was being created...
Oftentimes I find myself feeling overwhelmed when listening to music that speaks to me. I feel vivid imagery cover the landscape in my mind's eye, as if a custom made music video was being created on the spot to accompany the sound.
I encounter a frustrating obstacle when considering how to best translate this surge of inspiration into art. I know exactly what I want to create but feel limited by a lack of experience in animation, modeling, illustration etc. and the time it would take to approximate my vision. Altogether, it becomes discouraging and the idea withers before it has a chance to blossom.
My question to the creatively-minded is this—what strategies are deployed to counteract your self-doubt before it undermines your inspiration?

Thank you for any wisdom offered. The tildes community is special and dear to my heart ♡

One game I want to recommend to my fellow Tilde gamers is Blippo. It's a lovingly crafted homage to late-night channel surfing with funny, quirky, and thought-provoking skits about what our human culture would look like from a parallel world. If any of this interests you, give it a try! I plan on writing a more detailed post about it later for the community.
Another game I can recommend for fans of The Binding of Isaac, Nuclear Throne, Enter the Gungeon etc. is Morsels. The presentation, music, and game feel has me coming back for more and more and more.
