Two years ago, I became a novelist in the eyes of commerce. And I'm still proud of my creepy, body-snatching, UFO-sighting, romantic, sinister, funny debut. 🛸🐞💙📚💦🏡 MORE BUGS! You should read it: emreed.net/more_bugs Thank you Sacha F. Lees for the sick illustration!! (linktr.ee/sachafrancis)
Just realized I never shared this here TMNT art in the style of old Bengus art (circa MvC1.) Made the Turtles, and was initially just going to add April O'Neil, ended up adding Splinter, Bebop and Rocksteady as well. I made these during a number of livestreams. Could be fun to add more.

Every time I hear the Mario 3D World soundtrack I think about how it doesn't even sound like Mario, it sounds like Ren and Stimpy production music, it's GMod animation music. It's music that plays while Spy makes snorting noises and slides jerkily across the floor.
The short story I've been working on has been such a fucking pain to squeeze out. It's not even long, it's just a little guy, but it's a little guy who got stuck in the conveyor belt and smeared into the machine parts and now the whole machine has stopped because I'm scraping him out with a spatula
ICYMI - a couple of weeks ago I made these pixel art space shooter sprites, 100% free for use in your games and other projects. There's a little bit of everything in here including ships, weapons, enemies, bosses and UI stuff! #GameDev ci.itch.io/space-shoote...
Shared a short story I really liked in the group chat and someone said it was kind of derivative and I was like aww :( and then he said he liked my short story better and I was like aww :) good save, you live another day
I truly believe that generative and agentic AI tools wouldn't flourish if we didn't live in a hyper-capitalistic society where production and labor are the primary ways we measure our success and worth.
The specific focus in this video on the way these tools get under your skin and train you to depend on them is an aspect I personally find existentially terrifying. youtu.be/TtvICev9sBE?...

HAPPY JOHN CAGE AS SLOW AS POSSIBLE NOTE CHANGE DAY
for the first time in two and a half years, a new note was played in this organ performance today!
Daaaamn. “AI is the asbestos we're shovelling into the walls of our technological society. Our descendants will spend generations digging it out again, and the longer the bubble goes on without popping, the longer it will take to repair the damage." www.thenerve.news/p/cory-docto...
Cory Doctorow: The people who tell you ‘AI is changing everything’ are lying
It has become impossible to tell managers mesmerised by artificial intelligence that the tools are not, in fact, helpful. So employees just play along with the fiction to keep their jobs, writes our t...

I want to talk about Shin Megami Tensei IV and how in an attempt to create new demons based on American folklore they created the literal embodiment of Chemtrails. megamitensei.fandom.com/wiki/Chemtrail
This is bluesky. We don't talk about twitter here. We talk about the Matador as seen in Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne. Charge him with all your strength! Your horns cannot pierce his soul!
Hades 2 tied Hotline Miami 2 in a little discord poll bracket my friends are doing for fun but then it won the coinflip so now I will hold a grudge against Supergiant Games forever.
This thread is such a journey
