I think a lot could be said about how fandoms are very much structured to be consumerist without any critical analysis of capitalist production, and how this is the logical end result of that.

I promise that this will be the last thing I say about Picross S++ and AI, at least for now. I've learned a lot making this project, and here's how it all came together and where it fell apart: maysuser.name/posts/picros...

Become a pixel art Da Vinci...these tools are endlessly fascinating to me with the feeling that we peaked pixel art productivity back then

I THINK one of the things we're really seeing is a continent, maybe industry-wide shift away from full-time employees and towards gig/codev work. And that transition looks like layoffs across the board even from studios that just had big successes.

It's not enough for me to have the most successful live-service game in the world, I also need to save money by not paying my workers. It's not enough to have a technology that lets me not pay my workers, people have to keep liking me after I start using it. I'm the 837th richest person in the world

Had to draw them.

as much as i enjoy making browser-based games i can't say that i don't completely hate having to design interfaces that work on virtually any screen size and aspect ratio combination

I think it's beautiful when art effects people so deeply they'll go to these lengths to try to save a particular project, I just wish we had any kind of organized body for creative workers across industries that could funnel this energy into actually supporting the people who created the art

something I always thought would be neat to do in a Persona game is to use minor arcana for social links for like, acquaintances and well wishers like the guy at the hobyy shop you visit a lot so they know your name but you don't talk about anything serious, and you get like, the swords card

2019 date: aiba find me an image of big booty latinas aiba: boy shut the hell up 2026 date: aiba generate me an image of big booty latinas aiba: Hi! 👋 This is Aiba, your personal AI-Ball assistant. Unfortunately, I'm unable to assist with that request. Is there anything else I could do for you?

in 5 years it's going to be the anarchist furries going to war with the "actually the cops are good and it's important to make political compromises" Jacobin and DSA types on the left, mark my words

hello. i don't know if you know this but i am a massive fucking nerd. for years i have been chewing on simple formulas that work well for a game with stats that grow from ~16-320 (higher with buffs etc.) and, crucially, every stat is roughly equal in value point for point. current iteration:

every time I see someone say they wish they could have been an anime fan in the 1980s, I think of this

Anyone else going as Pumpkin Hill from Sonic Adventure 2 for Halloween this year or just me? 🎃⛰️ The costume has a treasure hunting minigame where you can move Knuckles across the “level” and the radar necklace will blink as you get closer to the hidden emerald in the pockets 💎 I love Halloween!!

One of the architects of the shmup/STG genre, especially the forced scrolling kind: Carol Shaw's River Raid for Atari 2600. A technically impressive and moreish game with simple gameplay and a risk-reward mechanic in awarding you score for blowing up the same fuel depots you need to top up from.

honestly can we just let seteth permanently be the narrator for every future fire emblem game and include post-credit joke scenes of him talking to flayn or other characters that insinuate every universe except his own is one of his stories it'd be really funny

I feel like so much of this sports debate shit wouldn't have gotten any traction if the myth that men are inherently stronger than women wasn't so pernicious. It's not true, we just live in a society that actively encourages strength building in boys while depriving girls the same, that's all

something i like about columbo episodes is how kinda...charged the show's music and scene composition is making the murders at the start of the ep appear, you can feel how weird and liminal the moment before and after that act is for the culprit since it's such a big moment of change in their life

a curious attraction has appeared at South Korea's Aegibong Park. From the Starbucks, you can see a North Korean tank destroyer aimed straight at it across the border tourists can now take pictures of a Soviet ATS-59 artillery tractor with an open casemate containing a Romanian 100mm antitank gun

I think it is so charming that the Romancing Saga 3 remake has a fairy party member that uses human-sized weapons. It's so goofy looking. Footage source: youtu.be/gRousX9_DN0?...

remembering how "Pikablu" made the rounds entirely because the Venn diagram of "Western Pokemon fans" and "people with basic katakana knowledge" was a pair of circles perhaps more embarrassing was "Mirutanwa," because people couldn't tell the difference between ク and ワ at the end of ミルタンク

Octopath making me understand why RPGs generally use small numbers when it comes to stats, I functionally have no idea how impactful stat points actually are

every bash command on linux is blplk -avqPmr o7 . ~/ every powershell command on windows is Please-Mister-Computer -Could-You-Kindly-Do-Me -This Favor ".\"

This meme is funny cause everything is right about Diego Hitlerio, but when Gabriela Rosa wins the election, she signs an extraction deal with Exxon that ravages her community, enables media monopolies, but all everyone recalls is that time she founded an Indigenous Affairs Ministry.

Blue wavers will see Brazil and Serbia and go "See, voting is the only way", and completely ignore the massive mobilizations, grassroot movements, and candidates openly opposing fascism and their billionaire overlords.

During the brazilian elections we learned one obvious but important tactic to defeat the far right on the Internet and I think everyone should know it: IGNORE THEM! DON'T ENGAGE WITH THEIR CONTENT! DON'T MAKE CONTENT REACTING TO THEM! DON'T HATE QRT! LET THEM ALONE IN THEIR BUBBLE!
