THE TRUCK IS A FUCKING LIE. Also: yeah, social sharing/playground organization was a *huge* part of so many games back when. Colleges and PCRPGs being something of an ur example.

Upon retrospect it's kinda funny in a Pre-GameFAQS world how people figured video games out because you had to write shit on paper and you'd go to the playground at school talking about things you've experienced and how to figure it out like you were orchestrating a heist.

It’s a traditional Japanese instrument called shamisen. It has only three strings. 🤯🎸🎶🎵

This is very cool news. Also: Knoebel is an awesome aggregate of gaming news. And: Every time I see "Terranigma" by brain thinks "Sub-Terrania" at first, and I made a neat noise that scared my cat.

Seems like Clear River Games, Square Enix and Quintet (yes I know) are bringing back 'Terranigma'.

Heartbreaking: The hottest NSFW idea ever, that would make you cum so hard you spontaneously achieve enlightenment, is trapped in the mind of an artist too shy to draw or even ever mention it

Hey so as a heads up. This. Is. All. Commissions. PayPal is DREADFUL to work with. Do not mention the word. Do not censor the word. Please just pay the invoice. If you do the artist you commissioned WILL get in trouble.

Alex Ri (NSFW)@demonking225.bsky.social · 3mo ago

STOP ADDING COMMENTS IN PAYPAL STATING ANYTHING THAT WHAT YOUR PAYING FOR IS A COMMISSIONS ESPECIALLY A NSFW COMMISSION!!! THESE FUCKING PROCESSORS WON'T STOP PUTTING THIER OWN DISLIKES AND MORALS ON WHAT WE FUCMING BUY!!! Spread the Word!!!!

I feel, in this modern era, that I should apologize for every joke about Rob Liefield's oddities in art. I know there are people who use AI because they can't draw feet, and man do I not want any part of that juju

People will inevitably have different views about which projects deserve support. That's healthy. That's democracy. But wherever you stand in that debate, surely we can all agree on one thing: The public has a right to know the rules.

I'm not saying it doesn't HAPPEN, but "all weird indie TTRPGs are a kink thing" is reductive. There is also "designing RPGs to publish your worldbuilding bible", "designing RPGs because you invented a neat dice trick", "designing RPGs to win an argument", and "designing RPGs as an act of self harm".

It takes exactly *one asshole in power* to make the entire party look bad. Most dems are actually on the good side of things! They collectively voted to tell ICE to go fuck itself! And then you have this motherfucker making this statement which is going to hurt voting *everywhere* for them.

Jeffries stop short of committing to holding a vote to abolish ICE is he's House Speaker next January, but says he's "committed to dramatically reforming ICE ... the masks should come off, body cameras should come on, judicial warrants should be required."

Fuck these evil fucks

Aaron Reichlin-Melnick@reichlinmelnick.bsky.social · last wk.

Wow. Proponents of the ICE taser gloves are openly saying that one reason they love the gloves is that they doesn’t leave any marks or proof that they were used, making it harder for people to sue when they’re shocked excessively.

Allergic events are fucking horrible.

Imagine that I drew a duck. And everyone—Every single person—absolutely loved it. Major magazines covered it. Shocked the world. Prizes everywhere. They all loved that painting of a Ferrari.

I FUCKING LOVE OBJECTIVELY BAD DECISIONS THAT MAKE A GAME WORSE BUT IN AN INTERESTING AND UNIQUE WAY!!!! AHHHHH!!!!!

It's been a busy week! Over on my Ko-fi I've published articles on FromSoftware's Adventure Player, a sort of game-as-platform experiment with pro-grade dev tools and micro-adventures featuring Echo Night, Kuon, and more... ko-fi.com/post/Adventu...

i doubt even google could train a coding model based off their internal near 30 year version control history, there’s no way a studio could use internal only data to generate modern HD assets.

If your only requisite to "solving male loneliness" is providing sexual gratification, then I don't believe you understand what loneliness is much less have any notion of how to actually help with it.

I'll go another step further: the research shows that BLM protests causally shifted Americans' racial attitudes leftward and helped Democrats in the 2020 election link.springer.com/article/10.1...
