I will say the voice acting work in Amanda The Adventurer 3 is amazing. The ending also isn't how I expected it to go considering the games genre.
A bright cartoon title screen from Amanda the Adventurer displayed on an old TV. It shows a smiling brown-skinned girl with round pigtails wearing an orange shirt, and a white cartoon sheep beside her. They stand in front of a large red apple with green leaves. The colorful logo reads “AMANDA THE ADVENTURER” in bold playful letters against a blue background.

Wait GameFreak even saying how bad BDSP was in this??
Literal translation(rough translation??) is Remakes after BW should be made with more heart and soul. So that they become good works that allow people different from the LEGENDS series to remember that era. Plain and simple English is Remakes after Black & White should be made with more care and passion, so they can be great games that let people look back fondly on that era, separate from the Legends series.

Say it loud for Indigenous Peoples’ Day. 💯

#IndigenousPeoplesDay
Screenshot of a meme showing Homer Simpson from The Simpsons tightly clenching his lips in visible frustration. The caption above reads: “How hard I pronounce the F in fuck Christopher Columbus when someone says it's Columbus Day.” The image humorously conveys strong disapproval of celebrating Columbus Day.

With all the negative stuff going on in the world....

I was going through my closet and found my old high school photo book and at the end this was in there! STILL the best advice in 2025 as it was in 2010.

A small rectangular printed card taped to a light-colored surface. The card is titled “STOP!” in bold uppercase letters, followed by a numbered list of ten short affirmations or grounding steps meant to help calm anxiety. The text reads: Accept the feeling – it cannot hurt you. Give yourself permission to feel anxious. Breathe slowly through your nose. Calm yourself with positive self-talk. Let go, float and flow. Distract yourself, it is only anxiety. Use the adrenalin in a positive pursuit. Don’t let a bad day scare you. Give yourself credit for how far you’ve come. Let time pass. IT WILL GO AWAY! The card uses black serif text on white paper, slightly worn at the edges, and seems meant as a visual reminder for anxiety coping steps.

close up photo of a round faced golden brown cat with big dark eyes, looking surprised. The top of the image has bold white text that says “WHAT.” It’s a humorous reaction meme.

Promotional artwork for Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children. In the image, Cloud Strife and Sephiroth are locked in an intense mid-air sword clash above a devastated cityscape. Cloud, with spiky blond hair and his large Buster Sword glowing with blue digital energy, looks up toward Sephiroth, who has long silver hair, a black coat, and a single black wing unfurled behind him. The light sky contrasts with the dark metallic ruins below, creating a dramatic, high-energy composition.

Anime style illustration of Minako Aino, also known as Sailor Venus from Sailor Moon. She has long golden hair with a red bow, bright blue eyes, and wears a white sailor style school uniform with blue collar and cuffs, a red ribbon, and a blue skirt. The background fades from deep red at the top to yellow at the bottom with soft star and swirl patterns, and her name “SAILOR VENUS MINAKO AINO” appears along the right side in gold text Kagome Higurashi from InuYasha. She has long dark hair and brown eyes looks upward with a determined slightly worried expression. She has light scratches on her cheek and neck, suggesting she’s been through a struggle. Her white and green school uniform with a sailor collar is a bit dirty, and the earthy shadowed background gives a sense of being outdoors after a battle or tense moment.

Her'es another image of it with alt text
A scene from the animated show South Park showing a crowd of townspeople protesting. They hold up signs that say “FREE HAT!,” “HAT DIDN’T DO IT!,” and “FREEDOM FOR HAT NOW!” The crowd looks animatedly upset and/or passionate with raised fists and shouting expressions. The characters are drawn in the show’s typical flat colorful cutout style.

This was like one thing I thought of for @rpsocial.bsky.social just a nice place to keep characters of your own etc.. Started off as just a HTML/CSS project for my own characters but wouldn't mind it being public or semi public someday.

Reach out to your loved ones. Let them know how much they mean to you ❤️

Tomorrow is never promised.
Big Bird sits in his large nest inside a brick building, looking sadly at a framed black-and-white drawing of Mr. Hooper hanging on the wall. A small mailbox labeled "BIG BIRD" is attached to the nest. The caption reads: "So Big Bird took the picture he had drawn of Mr. Hooper and hung it on the wall next to his nest. Then he looked at the picture, took a deep breath, and said softly, 'I'll miss you, Mr. Hooper.'"

A Sailor Moon meme featuring Minako Aino (Sailor Venus) and Usagi Tsukino (Sailor Moon) parodying the "Mean Girls" movie scene. The meme is made up of six panels: Minako eyes sparkling: “I wish we could all get along.” Minako looking sad: “I wish I could bake a cake filled with rainbows and smiles.” Minako nostalgic: “Like we used to in middle school and everyone would eat…” Minako about to cry: “…and be happy.” Usagi (Sailor Moon) shocked and yelling: “She doesn’t even go here!” Teacher looking skeptical asks: “Do you even go to this school?” Minako looking embarrassed responds: “No... I just have a lot of feelings…” The meme humorously combines Sailor Moon characters with the iconic “Mean Girls” scene about wanting everyone to be happy, ending with Minako admitting she just has a lot of feelings.

Minako is all of us with “a lot of feelings” even if we don’t even go here. 💛🌈 #SailorMoon #MeanGirlsMashup

Minako dramatically says she wishes everyone could get along and bake a cake filled with rainbows and smiles, referencing the "Mean Girls" movie scene. Usagi interrupts, "She doesn’t even go here!" Rei asks, "Do you even go to this school?" Minako quietly replies, "No... I just have a lot of feelings..."

Get fucked

#VShojo #VTuber
This is a public statement from Justin (Gunrun) regarding the shutdown of VShojo. Here’s a summary of the key points: VShojo is shutting down. Justin takes full responsibility and says he mismanaged the company. He’s been trying to fundraise and “right the ship” for months, but things only got worse. Over the past few years, VShojo raised about $11 million to build a “creator-first” VTuber agency: high revenue splits, debut investments, infrastructure, events, and creator IP ownership. Despite these efforts, the business model did not generate enough revenue and they ran out of money. He also notes that some money spent by the company was actually meant for charity, but they used it to cover costs due to financial difficulties. They failed to raise more investment capital and could not sustain operations. Justin apologizes to the talents, staff, friends, and community, saying they “did not deserve this.”

NodeBB and it's chat room function is kinda IRC/Discord lite. I enabled it for now but sooner or later will disable chat and redirect to Discord.
