HELLO THERE, dearest bros. Another week just flew by, can you believe it? Welcome to another Monday Post! Let us begin! PATREON NEWS! A new feature has been unveiled. Now creators can make posts that are only visible to the free members. Supposedly this should incentivize free members to subscribe. It works like this: you see the post -> you like it -> you subscribe -> you don't see it anymore. All I can say is: I sleep better at night knowing that Patreon is managed by smart people full of great ideas. And don't even get me started on the overall layout design of the website, because I fucking love it! WEB OF SHADOWS. I know some people think I am an idiot for saying that I greatly dislike Persona 5. But it is what it is. A while back going through negative reviews of P5R on Steam (to make sure I am not the only one who didn't enjoy it) I saw a review like this: "I remember liking P4, but after playing the normie sludge that is P5, I don't even remember why anymore". Well, that is how I feel about Web Of Shadows now. Initially I wanted to beat it at least once but few days ago I just gave up. What finally did it for me was the kindergarten level writing. There was this scene where Peter says to Marry Jane "please be carful", to which she reloads her shotgun and says: "I can take care of myself". You are supposed to be able to choose between Black Cat and MJ in this game, but why bother when they have the same lady-boss personality. Only with Black Cat it's actually even worse because she is constantly switching between showing her affection one second and saying she "doesn't need no man" the other. The rest of the characters is just as one dimensional. The Wolverine, Natasha Romanov, Venom - everyone acts like a caricature of their actual character. To sum it up: the game looks pretty (sometimes) but everything else about it is deeply disappointing. I am glad I finally got to play it though, it was on my backlog for a very long time. STELLA GLOW. To cleanse my palette a bit I decided to play a game that I heard was actually good. To my surprise it turned out to be much more than just good. What shocked me the most was the production value. I wasn't expecting so many voiced dialogs and CGs along with actually animated scenes. The story so far is also quite interesting. Oh, and the art style is simply beyond great. More than that, the translation is very solid as well. From what I have seen so far, everything is translated word-to-word, none of that "localization" nonsense. I will definitely continue to play this game thought this week. BASEMENT GAMER. Also I have been watching this guy a lot lately. I like the sarcastically-ironic delivery of his monologues, and often find myself agreeing with a lot of what he says. ^^ THE WORK. As for the work, it was another week where I got to draw a lot of things. Drawing is fun. I wish I could do more of that and less of writing and coding, but one does not work without the other, and at the end of the day creating games is what I enjoy the most! Quite a few placeholder drawings got replaced by proper art last week. Things start to look they way they should :)
THAT IS ALL. Make sure to check out this week's EXTRA!! post for more WIPs (and some mild spoilers). And I will see you all next Monday. Later bros!

Hello there, dear bros. Welcome to another Monday Post. So anyway, Crisisbeat contacted me few days ago. Apparently his Patreon account got nuked. He can't even login anymore. I don't know all the details, but this seems very familiar. Back in my day corporations would at least suspend your account if there was an infraction. These days you can wake up one day and find out that your source of income got canceled, your payment processor has "indefinitely froze all your money", your bank put your account on hold until further notice, your email provider wants to know your phone number, your streaming service decided you are not worthy of their services anymore and all those games you bought online are not accessible, because you were only renting them apparently. Welcome to the future you sniveling worm. Own nothing and be happy.
Am I next? (I mean will Patreon delete my account next?) I don't think so. After all I didn't release any new content for the almost three (fucking) years now. That alone should keep my account here safe. But you never know of course. And after QT is released we all should expect the unexpected I think. But just in case, don't forget that I have a mirror account at subscribestar.adult/akabur To other news. I picked up an Aladdin coloring book at the local bookstore for reference. And one of the illustrations just made me laugh so hard. I mean just look at it. Jasmine looks a bandit gang leader. What a girl-boss! Modern Disney is such a joke. At this point my version of Jasmine is literally closer to the canon than all this modern nonsense.Web of Shadows. Since I continue to remain in the Spidey mood, I decided to give Web Of Shadows a try. (I found a nice version of it on Ocean Of Games). I am about 5 hours into the game and here is my review: you know that feeling when you find some unexpected nice detail in a game and think to yourself: "Oh wow! That's so cool". Remember that feeling? Well, now imagine a feeling completely opposite of that. Yeah, that's Web Of Shadows for you. Keep in mind this is my first impression, but so far I am not impressed. What annoys me the most is how fake and dead the city feels. -_- But Black Cat in this game is absolutely gorgeous though, so I will continue to play no matter what. They sure knew how to create fictional women in the west back in the day. (Even though it bugs me a little that she is taller than Spiderman. It's a bit wired.)
The work. Las week was spent on working on art assets. I have quite a few placeholder drawings in the game so that is what I am working on right now. For more details make sure to check on this week's EXTRA!! post. ^_ ^ Later bros, and thank you for your support.
Hello, dear bros! I have some big news to share. The rumors about this have been circulating for quite sometime now in the rap community, but it was never confirmed officially. Well, it is now. I am hereby announcing my collaboration with a young and upcoming rap artist: Dr.Lazare. The vid above is a little preview of our upcoming album called: "AKABUR the game master". Be on a look out for the full release on iTunes soon*
OK. With this out of the way let us return to our regular programming. Personally I am no a big fan of all this April's fool nonsense, but today is Monday and it's April 1st and Mr.Lazare sent me this cool mp3 file out of the blue, so I felt like the universe is talking to me. The games. Last week I felt like revisiting one of my all time favorite Spidey games: Sprider-Man 2 ofor PlayStation2. The PS2 version looks a bit crappy when emulated, so I went with Game Cube version instead, but it's exactly the same game. Not going to lie, the graphics are not the best, but after about 10 minutes you stop noticing it. What I like about this game is the open world and the day-night circle. Watching the sun set from a traffic light pole still feels great. Oh and, the game looks like 10 times better during the night. Anyway, I remember this game vividly because back in the day I was playing it while waiting for GTA:SA to come out. Basically it was my GTA for a while. Also it has one of the best (IMHO) versions of the Black Cat. That mission in the beginning where you get to chase after her through the night city under the full moon is still fresh in my memory. (Could be because I replayed it yesterday XD). Speaking of the Black Cat. Here is a fun video I found called "Black Cat Evolution", to me personally it's more like "Black Cat Regression" though. I have never played any of the newer PlayStation 4 Spidey games and don't plan to. -_- The movies. New Bad Boys movie looks like it could be fun. To be honest I don't watch modern anything anymore. Although couple of years ago I did make and exception for Top Gun Maverick, which was pretty awesome by the way. I don't know, maybe Bad Boys 4 will be good, we will see I guess. The work. Finally to the part everyone is waiting for: the work news. Last week I finally finished all the birthday bullshit! Fucking finally! I decided to postpone working on the achievements and proceeded to the placeholder art assets instead. It's been so long since I drew anything that at first I thought I forgot how to do it. It was a false alarm though, eventually I managed to remember which hand I usually use to hold the pencil. The plan. This week I hope to do a lot more of drawing and coloring and all that stuff, so next Monday Post should contain a lot of fun sneak peeks. Other than that I plan to keep on playing Spider-Man 2 and live the happy live completely outside of the modern entertainment industry.
That's all. I will see you all next week, bros. Thank you for the support. ^^

P.S. I know this GIF is a repost but since I am actually playing the game now I decided it share it again. Later bros.

Hello dear bros! Welcome to another Monday Post. Did you notice this post's order number? 321, almost sounds like a countdown. But a countdown to what? To a fucking nothing! Queen Trainer is coming soon* ^_^ The personal life. Couple of days ago my neighbors (an elderly couple) asked me to help them fine tune their new android TV. They only asked me because I am "a young man" to them and understand this new technology better. Long story short, I easily helped them with the whole thing and received a can of Coke as payment. I am fucking 40 years old, this was such a precious moment, honestly. Obviously nobody treats me as a kid anymore so it was nice. XD And this morning the old lady also brought me this plate with some kind of homemade sweets on it. This is just too much T_T. The guts. I am such a fucking rebel. I took my PSP to a local café and spent some time there drinking coffee and playing Doom. Fuck yeah! That's what I call living a life to the fullest! The work. Despite my hopes I wasn't able to finish everything birthdays related during last week. So far I am done with Megara, Vivi, Lily and Iris. The only two left are Esmeralda and Jasmine. Esmeralda is a fairly easy one since I already know what I want to do with her, and I already have all the necessary art assets. Jasmine is another story: no art assets and no ideas for her event. I'll have to figure it out during this week. To some it up: I am about 80% done with the birthdays stuff, so I will probably move on to working on the achievements next, somewhere around Thursday.That is all. Nothing else to report really. Will see you all next Monday. Thank you for the support. Hugs and kisses and all that. -Aka- A few links just in case: buymeacoffee.com akabursubscribestar.adult akaburitch.io/profile akaburwww.bitchute.com/akabur https://akabur.creator-spring.com https://spacehey.com/notomorrow
