I've recreated the PMD EoS quiz as a web app with Spanish, English, Italian, French and German support. And it works on mobile!. Hope you like it! ^^ (link below) #pokemonmysterydungeon #pmd #MysteryDungeon #MundoMisterioso
Oh just a reminder! Leave wild animals alone! Do not approach them or draw attention to them. If you find a wild animal who may need help, call a local wildlife rehabber (you can look these up for your area) or rehab center, NOT the police, and go follow their advice. Jimothy is adorable BUT 1/2

Wacom doing planned obsolescence with a "Thank you for your support" on their staggeringly overpriced products wasn't on my bingo card but I am UNSURPRISED. If you too are in this position, allow me to draw your attention to what's probably your best solution: opentabletdriver.net
Otterboxed Arts@otterboxedarts.bsky.social · 2mo agoSo Wacom finally decided to pull the plug on my Cintiq 13HD. Kind of a barbaric move but I am wondering if anyone knows of a way to ensure continued support, either through a plugin or something of a similar vein. Any input would be appreciated.
ampharos, but if it stayed woolly like its previous evolutions! 🐑 open for offers! toyhou.se/39969443.woo...
"Game dev is one of those jobs you only do when you really want to. It's not going to make your parents proud, you're unlikely to get rich in an industry that lays off people for making superhits, and its a demanding & confrontative job. Why would you let a machine do the thing you're here to do?"
Austin Wood@woodwould.bsky.social · 2mo agoI spent the last few months talking to over 30 game developers about generative AI. It began as a sort of interview survey but became a pretty comprehensive collection of arguments against the technology altogether. www.gamesradar.com/games/why-so...

i think any time's a good time to say it but especially now is a good time to say FUCK GEN AI if you try to get me to use any form of gen ai i will curse you. begone. away with thee. divine skeleton death blast
LRP: at risk of sounding like an asshole if you're going around telling people not to do This And That (sparkle emoji, em dashes, etc.) at best i'm going to think you're A Fucking Idiot for saying that and at worst you're actively malicious and on the side of gen ai
apparently it needs to be said again: AI companies do not own an emoji, and if you just assume a sparkle emoji means AI without further investigation, your head is as empty as the fucking AI bros. 🙄 do not come at me with this nonsense. i will dump corn syrup in all your kitchen drawers
auuugh i want to introduce all of my ocs but i have too many of them to feasibly talk about each of them in their own post. if only I had an easier way to convey information about them with reference images and all,,,, my unfinished toyhouse profile with nothing in it for the past several years:
i realize i never posted the full art of my pfp i frogot
i got paint pens :) my first attempt at making something with them was a little scuffed but i still like how it turned out
some sanrio cupcakes i made for testing sticker prints
i was trying to quote repost one of my art posts with another art post on deck. blue but i guess somehow i accidentally deleted it?? i'll get that back up in a moment along with the repost
Y'all. Please remember the artists that drew these things when sending around memes. I feel for these artists who NEVER get credited for these (and some, nowadays, are even being accused of being AI!) Here's a few common ones I see (feel free to add others, I want this to be a living thread): 🧵
PSA: Bluesky's new auto-tagging moderation stuff is a disaster. Disable it. Go into Settings on the Bluesky site and enable adult content and set everything to Warn at most, which makes posts opt-in. Hide just vanishes posts. Then go into Advanced/Bluesky Mod Service and do the same on everything.

Queen_Potato@queenpotato.bsky.social · 2mo agoAnd there you have it. The anti trans campaign in Maine was never some "grassroots movement." It was bankrolled by billionaire Richard Uihlein, who poured over $800,000 into targeting trans kids over sports and bathrooms.
