a friend of mine and i were talking about the gorgeous animations in Lands of Lore, and he casually mentioned it was all by Westood artist Rick Parks.
parks tragically passed away from leukemia at a very young age, and we were deprived of seeing how his #painting would develop over the next few decades.
mercifully, the amiga graphics archive preserved some of rick's work here - it is the finest photorealism i've ever seen painted on a computer.

I feel it is my duty to share the greatest #otter video of all time.
I alway watch this whenever I come across it. This time the link took me to a place I didnβt want to be so Iβve screen captured it to be enjoyed by all here in safety. We all need to give ourselves a tiny fraction of the self love this otter is!
On Youtube, there's a guy who does NOTHING BUT reviews of video game light guns, going back to the original Odyssey.
