Hey y'all, if you like Indiana Jones and video games, that new Indiana Jones video game is a real hoot.

I'm gonna share this cartoon again simply because Jeff Bezos' Washington Post tried to censor it.

Just ran 5yo through a No Thank You, Evil! session for the first time and he loved it. Immediate wanted to play again. I think I started something.

Saw Nosferatu and liked it, but didn't love it. Vibes were impeccable, cinematography felt deliberately disorienting and unsettling. Performances were great, set, costumes all on point. But it felt long, and I'm not sold on the ending. Left me unsatisfied and a little irked.

Seriously, the number of times I've picked up a weird little indie game and thought, "Wow, how did they manage to make a game specifically for me?" is just staggering.
Just had a beautiful moment with my boss where he was doing that "games aren't fun anymore because its all online and microtransactions" thing and I was like "play indie games. Theres probably a whole section for them on your consoles store page" And I could see his mind was blown.

Mike Ybarra calling Marvel Rivals a copy of Overwatch is hilarious. I guess he forgot about TF2.

I'm regretting a lot about our Supreme Court and government, does that matter?
Kavanaugh obsessed over trans people "regretting" their decision to transition and that being a state interest.

Setting aside the fact that the rate of "regret" is very low, it's not the state's job to protect people from regret.

This is an argument for the ultimate nanny-state.

Went and saw Wicked last night, which was excellent. Loved it.

Trailer for the Snow White remake played beforehand and... oh boy. I think we've got the makings of another Cats-level horror show on our hands.

Fuck that, swordomancer. And not, like, enchanting a sword and fighting with it. Hurl Sword. Cone of Swords. Swordball. Cloud of Swords. Wall of Swords. Bigby's Giant Fucking Hand (with sword).
One day, D&D is going to have a class of magic user that can wield a sword.

You’re filming a remake of the movie Clue. Who are you casting?

I would probably do more art if I could just fully embrace this mindset

My favorite thing about the Jake Paul/Mike Tyson thing is that he thinks he gets to brag he beat Tyson now, and the rest of the internet has made him into a meme. What a ding dong.

Democrats lost while doing everything the left was begging them not to do, and now most of them have concluded that this means that it was a mistake to listen to the people they ignored and to run the campaign they didn't run, and must now pivot to doing more of exactly what they did when they lost.

Keep seeing headlines about how Republicans and lobbyists are "stunned" about Trump's picks and... why? He told you who he was. He told you what he would do. If you didn't believe him, that's on you.

Unironically so excited about this. I've got a strong fondness for dress-up games in general and the Nikki series specifically. Adding open world shenanigans is a perfect circle Venn diagram for me.

Bluesky seems a lot like Twitter used to be, in the before times, and there's something comforting in that. I, however, am not how I used to be. My relationship with social media and the internet has changed dramatically. So honestly I just don't know how to use this thing.

If I'm playing a video game and the side quests are all just fetch quests and delivery quests, I get bored.

But if fetching and delivering is the primary thing you do in a game, boy howdy sign me up.

I'm a visual artist, but kind of lapsed. I've been in a creative slump for a while, and haven't made anything in months. I want to start up again, but just... can't.

So, in lieu of creating, I'm going to post some of my existing creations. Maybe it'll inspire me. Here's one. "Ororo."

I only just started playing Metaphor: Refantazio, but I'm loving it so far. Some takeaways:

* Hope is necessary for change
* Change is possible
* You grow stronger by strengthening your bonds with others
* You've gotta find time for simple pleasures

HEY ARTISTS! Midjourney's got a survey out.

Maaan it'd be such a shame if their results were flooded by artists telling them they suck and should delete their datasets. Sure don't want to remind them of their thievery and copyright violations. Not at all! 🤭

Hello. I'm Brian. Writer, artist, dad. New to the platform, but wanted to say: take your joy where you find it. Sieze it and hold onto it, nurture it, spread it to others. Remember why we fight. Keep that joy in your heart. It's precious.
