concept for The Legend of Zelda, depicting link walking thru some ruins in a cave. he is holding a lantern to illuminate his pathconcept art for The Adventure of Link, depicting link facing off against a large minotaur-like creature, but with a horse's head instead of a bull's. they are in a large open chamber with massive pillars lining either side. beams of sunlight are shining thru openings in the vaulted ceiling concept art for The Adventure of Link. depicting a harpy/gargoyle-like creature descending upon link in a dark dungeon. it is grinning as it flies down at him. link is facing away but he looks as if he suspects something is comingconcept art for Link's Awakening, depicting link in battle against a massive cyclops in some ruins. the cyclops is smashing the ground as link just barely dodges

My hottest “I have no data to back this up” take is that phones aren’t making young people less happy. What’s making them less happy is living in a world where everyone is having their reality defined by recommendation algorithms that can only care about whether something keeps you watching.

Young adult happiness is falling. Percent of young people who are pretty or very happy has dropped from 88% to 76% over the last 15 years after having held fairly steady between 1980 and 2010

Y'all gonna start acknowledging the parallels yet? Y'all gonna start defending art, intimacy, and sex as basic human expressions? Y'all gonna start realizing that these deranged puritans don't have an ounce of goodwill in their bodies and literally just want to control every aspect of our lives?

A screenshot of the first three paragraphs from Wikipedia's article on "Degenerate art" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Degenerate_art).

It reads:

Degenerate art (German: Entartete Kunst) was a term adopted in the 1920s by the Nazi Party in Germany to describe modern art. During the dictatorship of Adolf Hitler, German modernist art, including many works of internationally renowned artists, was removed from state-owned museums and banned in Nazi Germany on the grounds that such art was an "insult to German feeling", un-German, Freemasonic, Jewish, or Communist in nature. Those identified as degenerate artists were subjected to sanctions that included dismissal from teaching positions, being forbidden to exhibit or to sell their art, and in some cases being forbidden to produce art.

Degenerate Art also was the title of a 1937 exhibition held by the Nazis in Munich, consisting of 650 modernist artworks that the Nazis had taken from museums, that were poorly hung alongside graffiti and text labels mocking the art and the artists.[1] Designed to inflame public opinion against modernism, the exhibition subsequently traveled to several other cities in Germany and Austria.

While modern styles of art were prohibited, the Nazis promoted paintings and sculptures that were traditional in manner and that exalted the "blood and soil" values of racial purity, militarism, and obedience. Similar restrictions were placed upon music, which was expected to be tonal and free of any jazz influences; disapproved music was termed degenerate music. Films and plays were also censored.[2]

Heritage Foundation, backers of Project 2025, have issued a call to criminalize porn by detailing specific types of imagery that should be illegal, including "deviate sexual intercourse," "female genitals," and "nudity." Only "civilizing" images that point to "marital sex" should be allowed.

on the latest updates for the console versions of DS1, some of the original banner messages are rewritten, but some aren't as it happens there were actually prior updates with all of them rewritten, but they just forgot to include one of the textures in the next patch oops

screenshots from DS1 X360 release, title update 2, and title update 3; TU2 has all banners rewritten, TU3 only has somecontents of the menu texture patch file in TU2 and TU3; one of the banner textures just wasn't included in TU3

found a whole operation of unmanned youtube channels making completely unchecked long form slop videos where the ai voice simulacra regularly trips up & does this for a full ten minutes every time. all the very legit comments are like "NO! THATS NOT TRUE! YOU LIE HE DID NOT" & never acknowledge it.

i have so, so many furious things to say about this but just to scream about one: when corporations declare themselves able to decide what art is or not made specifically for getting off, they are absolutely going to use that power to target even the tamest of queer art first.

Kickstarter officially banning adult content now. Knew this was coming, but it still sucks to have yet another part of the internet that I've been explicitly evicted from. Digital gentrification is exhausting.

Screenshot of Kickstarter's new rules against mature content, in which everything pornographic is banned. It's a long document that's formatted in a way that I can't copy and paste all the text that's in it, but the first is that all point and anything sexual is now banned.
