I really enjoyed the OoT remake for sticking close to original world, silly NPCs and dungeons. No new filler quests (it seems), which is a relief! BUT the hideous note book app, singing options and Link with unnecessary feathers & bling? It gets to me. I will buy it but also, Nintendo, be wiser. 🙈

Oohhh loving this post. I couldn't really say what made the faces so lifeless but when you see it right next to the original designs.... 🤔

Deck out their outfits as much as you want, I just wish they at least stuck with Yusuke Nakano's style for the characters' faces. (Except Link. Tone that the hell down. But keep the Ocarina attached to his belt I like it :)) Cunty Kaepora Gaebora with a boob job is fun tho. (2/3)

Save the Date: Fan Studies at 35 After an 8 year hiatus the FSN conference is back! We’re thinking about the state of the field 35 years after the publication of Henry Jenkins’ Textual Poachers, Camille Bacon-Smith’s Enterprising Women, & Lisa the edited collection The Adoring Audience in 1992.

"The explosion of deepfakes and AI slop over the past few years has led to widespread frustration among viewers, creators, and organizations that support animals, forcing everyone to hunt in the pixels for glitches or other telltale signs of AI." Oh no... www.wired.com/story/ai-slo...

AI Slop Is Ruining Cute Animals on the Internet

Pet owners, rescue agencies, and wildlife groups are calling for new safeguards as AI makes it harder to tell whether animals, from polar bears to house cats, are real or fake.

The creative industries employ more than 2million people, contribute around £130bn annually to the UK economy, or over 5% of GDP, while growing at double the UK average, but sure let’s cut government funding for arts education, that’ll help our ailing economy I’m sure.

Arts Professional@artsprofessional.co.uk · 3mo ago

Performing and creative arts university courses will no longer receive funding from a government teaching grant as part of “difficult decisions” about spending priorities, Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson has said.

You haven't heard from me in a while because I was massively Pokopia-pilled. This is a cautious warning not to start this game in a busy period or you'll find yourself getting up at six to put in some hours. 🥲

"I am sick to death of this — of the tech industry deciding it can do what it wants without consequences. Everything is a subscription, everything is harder to use and enshittified. Everything is built on something that was stolen or degraded." www.moryan.com/an-open-lett...

I loved this article, particularly this: "In highlighting the ways some fans endeavour to minimize or avoid contributing to harm, even as they continue to watch to the contest, I do not aim to let people off the hook for more complicit actions, but to show that complicity and resistance coexist"

my article on how #eurovision fans navigate complicity re israel’s participation in the contest is out now in @risjnl.bsky.social relevant if you’re interested in the politics of mega-events, fan consumer practices, and the politics of enjoyment. read it here: www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

I can't wait to play this demo! Congrats to the team / @joostvervoort.bsky.social for creating such a vibrant, beautiful deckbuilding game! 🤩 #indiegames

All Will Rise Another fun one. Really unique non-combat deckbuilding game, where you try to build a legal case for murder of the local river. Very flavorful and with a cool setting. Looks like it's still early in development, but very promising. 5/5 would wishlist
