who wore it better, seung-gil or this figure skater i drew in the early 2000s
a low quality webcam photo of a childhood drawing of a figure skater in a rainbow dress with purple tights and thin blue scarf. off to the side is a woman in a long blue dress with green feathers? at the bottom. it's very early 2000s fashion. in different letter shapes and colours is the text "super ice step dance girl" a screenshot of seung-gil lee from yuri!!! on ice in his iconic rainbow costume. he also has purple pants and a blue belt tied around his waist.

i had to invert it to be able to copy the text, but here's a version with ALT text for anyone who needs it, split over two images because it doesn't fit into just one.
Hi, Alex here, the lead developer of Paralives. Unfortunately, we had to make the difficult decision to delay the release. We are truly sorry for the last-minute announcement. After thoughtful consideration, we feel it’s best for the game and the community. This year, we ran many playtests with friends and fans, and we were confident that we could improve the game enough in time for December. In the lead-up to Early Access release, we broadened out playtests with a more varied playerbase, and the latest feedback we received made us realsie the game isn’t up to the standard we wanted it to meet for release. Players enjoy the flexibility and the customization of the Paramaker and Build Mode. However, there are still impactful bugs in the Live Mode and a lack of activities to do in the town, which dampened the enjoyment of the players, and we feel it is necessary to work on these before delivering the product to the community. I started this project wanting it to be a fresh and indie take on the doll-house life simulation genre, which had not been tackled by many game developers. I attribute this partly to the fact that a project like Paralives is a colossal task. Life sims are really 3 games in one: an advanced and flexible build mode, a greatly customizable character creator, and a complex life simulation mode. Over the last 6 years of development, starting with 2-3 developers for the first years, to growing to an average team size of only 10 people, we had to alternate long stretches of development between these three parts of the game. We are so proud of what we have build, but now, we just need a bit more time to polish the simulation part of the game. This would ensure Paralives offers a great first experience when it launches, making players come back for every exciting free update and expansion that we will put out afterwards. The new Early Access release date is May 25, 2026. We have updated our detailed roadmap (paralives.com/roadmap) with what we will be improving over the coming months, with focus on fixing important issues and improving the first-time user experience. This will ensure that more players will be happy with the state of the game at launch when coming it to other great life simulation games that sparked everyone’s love for the genre. On Tuesday, November 25, at noon EDT, we will stream 45 minutes of uninterrupted live mode gameplay on our YouTube channel to show the current state of the game, the various gameplay features, and explain what we will be improving before launch. We plan on keeping you all updated with streams and videos leaduing up to the new release date. We remain fully committed to making a quality and innovative game with the support of the community and to updating it for years to come after release. We’re beyond grateful for your continuous support, and it means the world to our small team of passionate developers! 

Alex and the Paralives team

(kinda wordle spoilers but also not really??)

guess which idiot tried to play impossible mode wordle because they didn't register that their their red nighttime filter still turned on and thought there was no vowels today
a screenshot of wordle with a red filter over it, rendering all the coloured tiles the same shade of grey as the grey ones. the words magic and house have been guessed, and it is impossible to tell which letters are valid.

i downloaded the new affinity and there's no light mode. i don't care that dark mode might be "better" for design, control over UI colour is an accessibility feature that has been removed by serif/canva. fucking incredible.

i can't use this. but hey, creative freedom, right?
a screenshot of the affinity UI settings, showing a number of sliders for different grey levels, contrast, and brightness, but they're all for finetuning a UI with dark background and light text

canva/serif buried it in the footer, but you can still sign in and grab the downloads for V2. worth doing it and backing them up if you don't like the look of the new free affinity app imo

lmao the ethicswashing of this. so right bestie, the generative ai absolutely "respects" my craft just because your program doesn't snoop in my local files. don't look at how the genai came to exist tho don't worry about that :) :)
a screenshot from the new affinity website. there is a tag that says "With Canva pemium plans" and the title is "AI that respects your craft"

i love the way northsky is talking
from northsky's about page: 1. We commit to creating a culture that protects our users from abuse and serious harm while also allowing those who unintentionally harm others to learn and grow, if they are willing. We aren’t going to let people abuse or repeatedly harm you, even if they’re sneakily doing it in ways that don’t outright violate terms of service. However, we also believe that people make mistakes, and we want a community that educates people who cause unintentional harm instead of simply dunking on them.
