MEGA MAN FANS! I need your help!
I turned Minecraft's copper golems into Servbots, but they need appropriate voices to go with them. And I mean English voice clips from Legends 1 and 2, not the Marvel vs. Capcom clips. I want them to wail "MISS TROOOOON!" when you sheath a sword in them.

I always get sad when people are like "it's ok that mario 64 was jank because it was the first fully 3d platformer you have to learn to crawl before you can run" because jumping flash came first and it not only ran, it sprinted
There's some fresh Jumping Flash love going around, so I'll give my article on it and what makes one particular design choice such a genius move a boost. 💜
The Case for Jumping Flash, Past and Present
Why you should play Jumping Flash today and hope that the ideas it presents are revisited tomorrow.

I’m looking for horror / dystopian / sci-fi book cover artists!
I’m particularly interested in queer, BIPOC, or disabled artists.
Feel free to drop recommendations, links, examples and so on. I’m not actively commissioning right now, just researching for the (hopefully near) future! #writing #art

We did this. I have no recollection of any of it. Tell me if it's "good"?
It’s a bad show that’s not good to enjoy, and here’s more of it.

Couldn't be more proud of everyone and everything we do. Coming up on Year *12* of New Blood this February.
Another busy year already underway 😎

Profoundly surreal viewing for me and a bunch of peers
Who coined "Metroidvania"? It wasn't @jparish.bsky.social, and he'll be the first to tell you. Besides, there are far more interesting questions, like: How did it spread? Evolve? And what's it got to do with rickrolling?
Watch til the end for a post-credits sting.
