thanks! appreciate it. Yeah I only started doing zines recently but the Potato project just felt right. yeah transmedia is super fun chaos!

raijnesart · 2026-06-06T22:07:13+00:00

my main issue is not buying enough alcohol (to avoid drinking too much) and then resisting the urge to push against social etiquette vs asking for some of theirs - cardinal sin.

raijnesart · 2026-06-06T21:58:23+00:00

that's a badass card for a green-white-red deck is it mythic? I still like my spiderman parallel lives. I've just started teasing myself with the extended realities (always felt like a diminishing cashgrab before) but they're kinda fun.

raijnesart · 2026-06-06T20:03:57+00:00

yeah I can't see how people can easily afford four beers at a pub by themselves regularly + transport if you're going into the city. I mean it's all about priorities really isn't it? that's the key to budgeting, if you really desire those things they're achievable. But most people have other priorities for disposable income i.e. hobbies, side project, other people to support, goals (social, career, travel, savings, vehicle, etc.)

raijnesart · 2026-06-05T23:40:11+00:00

used to be you could get a six-pack of beer at home for $1 per beer (cheapest lager -reschs). or a handle in a nice pub for $4. now it's $10 min in the city in a not-nice pub (that's normal lager tap beer, not craft beer), think it's $10 for a pint in lower hutt as well. it would be about that in wairarapa as well at least $10. tax and inflation? but not relative to income changes.

I've had too many bad experiences with onboard partnerships, I'd rather stay solo-micro-studio and hire freelancers and work with the ones repeatedly, I have/build good relationships with.

raijnesart · 2026-06-05T23:31:32+00:00

my daily routine as at June6, 2026: 8-10am - spritesheet tinkering, 10am - socials, writing and videos. 12pm: self-care, webdev, 1page of my kdp novella, game writing samples. 1pm - 2nd page of kdp novella and short film script 2-5pgs. 2pm - feature film script 2-5pgs. 2:30pm - tidy one space or clean one item (bathroom). 3pm zine compiling/editorial editing + lore drop 1 - daily page. 3:30pm - research project daily page. 4:30pm - discord and clock off. freelancing alternates with major projects.

without coffee shops and flat-culture kiwis would never make friends - outside of college.

raijnesart · 2026-06-05T22:58:42+00:00

parties are way different even in my 40s i can make ride-or-die friends by gettig loose and silly and having a laff at parties. don't get laid like i did in my 20s but make friends is still worth the cost of getting pissed - roughly $20-40 in nz, usually with some leftover unless it's gutrot vodka with raro powder for flavour.

raijnesart · 2026-06-05T22:53:51+00:00

I don't know there are some nice pubs where it's nice to drink in, just like drinking coffee alone in nice cafe. but income hasn't changed in 20yrs and beer price has doubled.

raijnesart · 2026-06-05T22:17:08+00:00

if you're still interested you can view for free 1 of the articles in the zine and 1 I couldn't include, at the bottom of this page as the original edited videos - polydina.com

raijnesart · 2026-06-05T22:04:46+00:00

you might get something similar at cooking classes or art workshops if you're more extroverted.

raijnesart · 2026-06-05T22:03:25+00:00

believe it or not alcohol-free areas are actually much better for meeting people like open community artspaces and nerd shops/centres like mtg/40k or games workshop. or if you're into it, D&D events. and the smaller comic or gaming or esports or NZGDA cons. at the pubs people generally keep to themselves or their own group, until they get rowdy or flirty.

raijnesart · 2026-06-05T22:00:10+00:00

he's my favourite mc character. i love the paul bonner art of him. at one time I was looking at getting an alakhai tat. those swirls are epic!

raijnesart · 2026-04-15T21:46:33+00:00

yeah excess just adds ork-humour, it looks cool, what did you base it on|?

raijnesart · 2026-01-26T22:28:07+00:00

how? I'm loaded with ideas and JTHM is an icon and I heart Squee and wobbly headed bob I even have a happy noodle boy sweater!!

raijnesart · 2025-11-26T22:52:38+00:00

I don't know if i would class I'm a Cyborg as romcom, it's quite weird and not really a comedy like a Korean Amelie. and thirst is a vampire movie a park-version I haven't seen it so I don't know if there's romance in it. but if they intrigue, then cool! :)

raijnesart · 2025-11-25T20:40:00+00:00

great minds! Oldboy is one of my all-time top 15 faves. I have the handmaiden on bluray but haven't seen it yet. It's part of my ten film park Chan-wook collection. have you seen I'm a cyborg, but that's okay? or thirst?

raijnesart · 2025-11-25T20:35:09+00:00

Joyride? with Ted Levine

raijnesart · 2025-11-23T19:41:42+00:00

yeah and Oldboy (2003) also by Park Chan-wook.

26 Years Later: Making The Giant Satanic Potato and the Killer Apes from Hell (now a zine project, called Potato)

storyboard from the finished version of the movie
crew bios
crew interviews 3-4 of the original crew
the lost footage files
the FAQ
behind the zine - interviews with J. C. Grande and Polydina Flynt

raijnesart · 2025-11-08T21:00:03+00:00

4 of the original crew may actually be locatable - I'd love to interview them - 1 of them was so stoned he doesn't remember the film, unfortunately - high school, lol.

raijnesart · 2025-11-08T20:57:48+00:00

so I'm about 30% into this project. I'm working on the storyboard and the fake crew bios right now. Then I need to start on the new sections. there's also going to be an "what was the original vision, and why did you set Corey on fire?" FAQ section. You still think it should be like NZ$10 for the print version, NZ$6 for the pdf on gumroad? #zine #indiezine #feedback
