初めまして

I'm a graying weeb-ass out of work Art/Game/Writing Jack-Of-All-Trades

I tend to follow folks in similar circles

I sometimes post NSFW stuff, but tag it when I can

Fuck Gen-AI. Fuck Fascism. Yay cool people doing cool shit

These are bad times, you are allowed to be mad/sad

For decades the Right has daydreamed about saving their country from monsters, they finally got the chance and it turns out they love the monsters. The monsters are even monstrous in the exact ways they fantasized about! You never have to listen to these guys about anything again

Every song I am listening to on Youtube today sounds like it has been speed up by a couple FPS (unfortunately the ads seem unaffected)? Is something up universally on the platform? Did something happen to the universe's gravity to affect time? Is this once again just time being a human construct?

It's pretty amazing to me the amount of shit that apparently you can Just Do as an NYC mayor. It makes basically every other American politician look like an incompetent loser.

What do you mean there was just a button that reversed wage theft? Why wasn't and isn't everyone hitting it all the time??

It feels like I haven't had a real bed with a real mattress that I actually fit on in so long. It's been the ground, grass, car seats, futons, benches, leaky air mattresses ...

I just laid down on it without making the bed and I never want to get up again

It's those little things in life ...

I haven't been able to really draw much since the holidays, and I haven't drawn with a pencil in a very long time. Decided to stay in tonight and do rough doodling n' playing around on a piece of copy paper. Just screwing around on paper not caring is my happy place now days.

I made a post about this already on the JP birthday (when I played PSO), but again this is a top tier start screen for an all-time 10/10 game. Every decision around art/audio here is excellent.

Which is how everything in this game is: Every element is really well thought out.
Happy 25th birthday, PSO! (Again!)

25 years ago, Phantasy Star Online had rolled out across North America following its launch in Japan in Dec 2000. Sega brought an online RPG experience to console players, one still enjoyed through fan servers.,

Share your PSO series memories and love, peeps. 💜

Whatever criticisms we had over Microsoft and Windows 95 BITD, this ad pushed a vision that I think should've never changed (even if insincere): Your software is a tool. Your PC is your toolbox. The OS organizes your toolbox and makes your tools accessible. That's it. No AI. No meddling. No bullshit

Kids today may see a picture of a happy little car enjoying a beautiful day on the docks

But those in the know see this as a, "Last known photo" horror trope

I've said before...

'Kawaii' is a state of mind 😊

It's not a skin color, sex, gender, height, weight, whatever. If you are kawaii in your heart and soul, then you ARE kawaii!

Trust me, I lived the 'kawaii' life in the late 1990s and early 2000s! 😉
After some chungus on Twitter said "u cant be kawaii n blk," Black kawaii fans worldwide & JP users united to shout them down. One wrote: "Don't belittle Japan's kawaii. Calling it incompatible w/ a skin color is nonsense. What's incompatible w/ kawaii is being a racist like you."

This reminds me of when I played MTG with my daughter when this set and card hit. The pandemic had just really set in, she was learning about exponential growth both in math AND from news of how the virus spread.

It was an amazingly good card for teaching the concept and seeing it in practice.

Not the same speed, but reminded me of Puzzle Fighters Mobile, which came out to "Cool, I guess" press

"LOLWTF?" hardcore reactions

"Today's flavor is ..." streamer activity

Became solid after updates. I tossed $20 at it and even ran a tournament for it

Sunset in 6 months ... *sigh* WHAT?! WHY?!
Genuinely want an oral history. People say it happened due to contracts, but, like, without breaking any NDAs, I can tell you all that it is QUITE common for mobage locs to get cancelled mid-stream. Never seen anything like this in my 11 years in loc and trust me, I've seen A LOT OF MOBAGE DRAMA.
Happy two year anniversary to the ultimate videogame launch announcement, the likes of which hasn’t been topped just yet

Here's a regular white guy (literally "Chad") not a protester. because, "It seemed pointless, or just a way for people to expiate their sense of guilt." Chad witnessed something shattering. And, that all changed in a moment.

Excellent article!

This latest ref pack is a love letter to all my hard surface artist friends

It contains 400+ (3.1GB) photos from the CAF SoCal airplane museum, including 100+ shots of tiny details from the cockpit of a MiG-21MF

Use them for anything, just make sure to credit me!
