In 1 hour I'll be continuing the hard #Metroid saga with Metroid II Return Of Samus! This pocket sized adventure really pushed the Game Boy to its absolute limits, and proved incredible as a result. Link for when I'm live is in my bio.

In one hour I'll be live drawing in #Krita! I've got an idea I've been wanting to experiment with for a little bit now, so today's gonna be the stream for that! Let's just say I've been in a Hollow Knight mood lately. Link for when I'm live is in my bio.

Did you have a good Halloween, my fellow hamburger eating Americans? (does any other nation celebrate Halloween?)

Here's a (not so) quick sketch of Zooka and Hemi in cosplays! Bonus points if you recognize the characters, though it can be tough w/o colors.

Acro also sat out this time around...

Happy Halloween everyone! 🎃 As is yearly tradition, here's PJ and his friends all going Trick or Treating! PJ's friends have caught up with him after he got chased by his candy bucket, but now Slimer and Bubble are RAVENOUS for candy! #OCArt #KritaArt #PJBart #HalloweenArt
PJ and his friends have been trick or treating together. PJ is dressed as Kris from Deltarune, Lilly is dressed as Niko from OneShot, Ballue is dressed as the Ivory Ball from Yoku's Island Express, with a small Yoku doll attached to his tail, while Slimer & Bubble are both dressed as Goomy. PJ's candy bucket is surrounded by the two slimes, who are both hungrily eyeing them for their candy, while their friends are restraining them to prevent them from devouring all of the candy. They're all on an autumn night on a road coated with leaves, with a hill in the background overlooking a moonrise.

Happy Birthday Blaze! I thought trying to draw your character would be an interesting challenge so I went for it! Here's Blazer!

Worth noting: After the end of the three-year pilot program this year, the Irish government found that for every pound invested, they got 43% profit. Keeping artists alive and financially safe is not just for moral good, it's also beneficial in terms of economics. Just let artists keep making art.

Hello #portfolioday! I'm PJBgamer, a digital and pixel artist that likes to draw characters, both realistic and cartoony. I work using #Krita and #Aseprite. I also like to paint photos I take. Here are a few examples of my work.

Portfolio 🎨 cara.app/pjbgamer
Artwork depicting Hornet, the player character from Hollow Knight Silksong. She's in a warm area holding her needle, ready for a fight. Artwork depicting Bird_CPU and Herbkuffer's OCs: Silk and Crayon. They're having a picnic on a cliffside. The characters are fully shaded and the background is hand drawn. A pixel art painting of a cloudy night sky illuminated by moonlight. A CRT shader is added on top to give the image extra softness and make the colors pop a bit more. A trilogy of pixel art drawings depicting the player characters of various Search Action games, all drawn by PJBgamer. In descending order starting from the top left: Slugcat (Rain World), Samus Aran (Metroid Dread), Robin (Iconoclasts), The Knight (Hollow Knight), The Ruin Seeker (Tunic), Link (The Legend Of Zelda A Link To The Past), Ori (Ori and the Blind Forest), Poe (Dewdrop Dynasty), Quote (Cave Story), Umbra (Blue Fire), Run Gun Bot (The Invincible Run Gun Bot), and The Blob (Animal Well). The first four are in Ferrier Shockwood from Iconoclasts, the second four are in the Overworld from Tunic, while the final four are in the well from Animal Well.

Here's my entry for @artcollabs.bsky.social's #TrickOrTreatCollab! PJ was out dressed as Kris from Deltarune getting candy, but he took a while. He got lots of candy... when suddenly, his candy bucket came to life, and started chasing him shouting YOUR TAKING TOO LONG! And he has a tutu! Horrifying!
PJ is dressed up as Kris from Deltarune. He's following the SOUL which is glowing, running away from Jackenstein. He's a floating Jack-O-Lantern candy bucket holding all of PJ's candy, while chasing him and wanting to make him wear a tutu. PJ is terrified, even though he isn't in any real danger.

Very interesting algorithm analysis, which explains the repeated problems with content moderation getting in the way of social justice

tldr: it's always good to block a TERF or a white supremacist or any other type of fascist

original post: www.tumblr.com/chiptrillino...
Screenshot of the Advocate article headline showing an image of bluesky's logo and JKR, with the title "Outcry grows after multiple trans uers were targeted for mild criticisms of the anti-trans billionaire" Screenshot of tumblr text post by fourohfourlifenotfound August 24 part 1/3: "If we are ever going to stop this, then you guys need to start learning why this happens. And it's not always because some executive made a decision to favor a TERF. It's because the technology is broken in a way TERFs have learned to use to their advantage. So content moderation is a HUGE task. It is incredibly inefficient to manually monitor all user reports-- when you "flag" something as spam or inappropriate or 'inciting harm' (what Blueskye is saying the banned users had in their posts). So what actually happens is that the bulk of it is reviewed by machine. The precise "how" is a bit of a black box (if you say exactly, it makes it more vulnerable to being bypasses), but we generally know it's a bit of machine learning ("ai", but not he chatgpt kind) and a bit of automation. Generically this gets referred to as an "algorithm" (which is a meaningless word I don't have time to unpack here). The TERFs have a formula. A battle plan, if you will. I've been watching them use it for almost a decade. And they play social media sites like a fiddle every single time." Text post part 2/3: "The way it works is that they coordinate attacks on targets they dislike. (Usually trans people, but ace discourse is a notable example of targets not necessarily fitting that demographic.) They send links to each other of posts to report. They'll flag it for whatever the nearest thing they can is. The blueskye users were wishing ill to JK Rowling, so "inciting harm" was the excuse selected. "Inappropriate or sexually explicit content" is a common selection for other trans content. Then what happens is the content moderation "algorithm" sees a huge influx of reports for a certain post or user. And instead of making a human manually review all of that, it automatically initiates a ban or takedown. And if the "algorithm" has word censorship built in, it will begin to auto-flag for things containing words in posts frequently flagged, so it begins to auto-flag the word trans itself. This has been happening for almost a decade. There was a trans youtuber who proved TERF hater group chats flagged his videos so much that it started auto-demonitizing identical videos with the word trans in the title, but leaving ones without the word alone. I strongly suspect this is why we see huge amounts of trans women banned for no reason on tumblr. And this is clearly what is happening now." Text post part 3/3: "How do we fix it? There's no easy solution. All the things about the "algorithm" that make moderation easier for the social media platforms are the exact reasons it's so difficult to defeat. It's hard to teach a machine what's a genuine flag and a malicious one. Again, it's been almost a decade since the issue was raised with youtube, and there has yet to be a solution for rooting out malicious coordinated flagging. But here's one thing that can help: get TERFs off of social media. Stop letting them bait you into petty fights. Learn how to identify them. Block and report them. " Response by drtanner: "Blocking TERFs and other assorted bigots is especially effective on bsky, because the block function there is nuclear. In short, if you block someone, not only can they not view your account or any of your posts, but any replies they made on your posts will no longer be viewable by others, even if they haven't personally blocked that user themselves. If they quote you, you can even decouple your post from their quote. In short, blocking someone on bsky produces mutual hiding of content, and it's extremely effective at starving these cunts of oxygen. Bigots who can't convince people to fight with them and whose posts don't gain any traction because they're blocked by everyone and their dog leave the platform, i.e. Jesse Singal. It works, people just need to remember to do it more. Preemptive blocking of dickheads before they start shit with you is the best way to prevent things like this from happening. "
