If you'd have told me back in 2020 that my streaming journey would eventually result in going for dinner and drinks with the voice of my childhood - Dominic Armato, aka Guybrush Threepwood, I don't think I'd have believed you. 🫣🥰

I am a straight up proud pizza slut.
There is basically no pizza on the planet I will not gladly devour. Shamelessly.

it looks so simple but i had to refactor so many systems and even create an entire entity hierarchy to make it so you can mouse over, click, and pick back up crafting components from a crafting station like this
glad it's done though

regardless of experience level, it's a nice time to make some generative art and find community around it. it's a very chill and noncompetitive week long jam.

What are some good tools for doing 1990s pixel art? Specifically sprites, but maybe some larger backgrounds. I see someone's done a JS version of DeluxePaint! Any others people really like?
Slightly heretically, I'd love one that handled alpha channels well.

That feeling when 2020-era memes about the dying throes of the American antiwar movement in the political disillusionment of Obama-era (and by extension Biden-era) foreign policy is treated like ancient history.
I hate this sort of meme.
“The only difference between the parties is whether the power to destroy human civilization rests in the hands of leaders who think gays, women, and black people should have their rights acknowledged.”
Even if true, how is Rainbow B-52 not infinitely preferable?

Feels like such a dumb, opaque system from PayPal—yes, if you are a purveyor, then yea, definitely don’t be volunteering more info to the payment processor than ya have to—but does this mean one can grief anyone with a donation/mutual-aid by adding a memo of “thanks 4 nsfw furry dicks!”
So dumb.
So dumb.
hey! if I send you an invoice, shut the fuck up. do not mention NSFW stuff or even the word "furry" or anything, Paypal is company of dickbags searching for any excuse to harass creators. using invoices is the smartest/best/safest way of working as a comm artist, and this is explicit targeting
Apparently P*ypal now asks for customer opinions on accounts sending invoices.
If you are paying an invoice to a nsfw artist, do NOT mention NSFW in any way, keep it blank even. you risk both your account and the artists.

When you decide how something is going to exist in the world, don't forget to think on how it comes to be and, most importantly, WHY. Your high fantasy floating sky island monorail megacity is cool, but who the fuck designed and built that shit and put it up there? Why did they even bother?

Lindsey Graham served in the US Air Force, and if I recall correctly, retired after three decades of service. You can get court-marshaled, even for acts done after you leave active service, in which the military can choose to recall a retired service member and assert jurisdiction.
Lindsey Graham: "I don't think I've ever been on a show more unnerving than tonight. You've got US senators and members of the House suggesting to our men and women in the military that they should be disobeying unlawful orders issued by President Trump and his military."
