I'm sorry I have to do this, but I am in a rough situation financially, I don't have steady employment and no means to pay for these bills myself, I broke my car keys, which makes my car unreliable to start and a replacement will likely cost 300-500 dollars. I would appreciate any help. Thank you.

Fighting the urge to ask my readers “did you see where I did such and such?” and “did you notice the symbolism of so and so?!” like a needy chef asking if you can taste the star anise.

LRT is exactly why i make a lot of the things i make, too. if the thing i want doesn't exist, i want to make it exist

Excerpt from Anime Trending’s interview with Usa Haneda

Another exercise in seeing where I can take the well-worn concept of a Dead Simple clone: 1) only Dead Simple textures (plus solid colors); 2) sky is the special MAP07 action code from the Doom source code; 3) yeah, I’m gonna need a sector Mancubus and Arachnotron 😆

I kinda think the Umamusume concert thing is really just a good reminder that even if you try to disengage from politics, politics eventually comes for you

new post: Why Maeda Jun Matters mimidoshima.neocities.org/main/posts/2... i think everyone should know why this is a tragedy for anyone who cares about japanese media, not just visual novels.

Visual novel writer and composer Jun Maeda (Kanon, Air, Clannad, Heaven Burns Red) has been diagnosed with pharyngeal cancer, and has chosen to focus on palliative care.

Nothing but respect to John Romero but personally if I made a promise like that I would never go back on my responsibility

it’s really telling how Tommy refuses, even when pushed, to say why he wants El-Sayed to disavow the Muslim Brotherhood even though everyone in the room knows the reason these guys are almost all cowards in person

This is your occasional backup reminder - if you haven’t yet, go start setting up backups of any kind. If you think you don’t need backups, delete everything you have on the device you’re using right now. If that seems like a bad idea then you need backups.

I had a lot of fun writing some new music tracks for this!!! On Monday I'll also be updating the soundtrack on Bandcamp and Steam 🥳🎵

Just a reminder that "male gaze" is specifically an art theory term about stripping women of their interior lives to reduce them to mere sex objects. If you think it's a blanket "this has the potential to make guys horny" you're just doing sparkling gender essentialism

>elf makes fun of me because human narrative art takes place over a hilariously short span of time, from the perspective of their long-lived race >i read an elfish book >its just a normal book but every chapter starts with '100 years later'

A thing I think about a lot is how directly this stuff is descended from casino customer-tracking apps as they were emerging in the 90s. Addiction By Design covers this in a chapter - casinos harvest data on videoslot players and then measure exactly where their "Frustration point" is on losses.

Macintosh b&w art, random pick from my collection day 20

i long to return to the days when "franchise" primarily meant the kind of place you spent a dollar at for some sort of inedible food sludge, rather than the IP slurry that every piece of media is now expected to become an interchangeable part of

missed National Coming Out Day. but came across this screenshot of the mass email i sent 12 years ago!
