The first cup of coffee is so vital that I don't even realize that I'm drinking it, I lift the mug to my lips and feel the horrible pang of loss without any warning

If you don't stop to consider how many days in a row you've been drawing without a day off, your body doesn't realize how many days in a row you've been drawing

I've used the wacom intuos medium for 6ish years now and I hadn't let the drivers update in years. I finally decided to let it update today, and this is the one time being reticent about updating software was actually fucking me over, it's like night and day, everything works so much better now

Ignoring signs of burnout and committing to drawing my ass off because this move is gonna be expensive and I need the cash 🤪👍

Kind of an awkward PSA because I've had some artist mutuals recommend these sites/tools, but "ai image detection" tools are snake oil, and I feel like nobody bothered to scrutinize them. So I opened photoshop cs6, drew a smiley face, and uploaded it to the "accurate" detector:

It’s funny because it’s true

The homogenisation and consolidation of buisinesses and brands has led to the erosion of the midlist, the indie movie or band or comic. There's a real sense of "I'll only try media that's already popular / famous," and I'm begging you to look for the weird shit, the experimental, the niche.

Once again, Jesus Christ, if your own policy would ban, like, The Handmaid's Tale, The Colour Purple, One Hundred Years of Solitude, A Clockwork Orange, Blood Meridian, Measure For Measure, like.... what are we doing here. What is this for

Mario Party 2 on n64 still capable of destroying friendships in 2025

The petition is nearly at 10k - just a little bit more of a push is needed!

I've had to explain to several people that those pixel pictures aren't filtered or shrunk down versions of "normal" drawings, that's not how pixel art works at all 😭 shrinking a picture doesn't turn it into pixel art, it turns it into a disordered mess of pixels

If there was a just and caring god I would be allowed to draw pixel art for as long as I want without suffering financial consequences

I'm not gonna but what if I animated that picture. What then

I might draw some more pixel art today

Dudes rock. Love fellas

d&d tonight...oh my god

Rewatched x-men 2000 for the first time in MANY years with the movie night group yesterday, it holds up so well! Modern superhero movies are decidedly not for me so it was nice to get to enjoy one again + seeing younger ian mckellen and patrick stewart was very 🥺

this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like

I've come to feel like game dev is 20% me building the feature and then 80% me bug fixing the feature bc it breaks everything else I made

giving this dude im drawing some kind of strange fantasy mullet

NEW from me: This morning, a Stripe customer representative confirmed to me that they do not allow LGBTQ content and haven't for a month--at first. Later, after putting me on hold, the representative confusingly said they were wrong and that they don't ban LGBTQ content, only "abusive" content.

the recording booth echo, fuck 🤣🤣🤣

I've had basically no internet for the past 2 hours and the moment i get a ding on my phone i see this

Riot Games is accused of actively suppressing any negative comments related to Mastercard or otherwise mentioning the anti-game/NSFW censorship movement on its esports broadcasts. The decision to do so was reportedly made internally, according to an obtained statement. www.si.com/esports/news...

This is not how corporations respond to an ineffective protest. This is how they respond to a protest that they would like to have go away. So don't let it go away. Keep it going. In fact, Streissand Effect this shit. Call attention to how much they want this to go away.

All mayo should be chipotle mayo

today's programming marathon was somewhat more fraught

I've been listening to a youtuber's playthrough of bg3 while drawing for the past few weeks and I'm so taken with Orin and Gortash. my dysfunctional parents Minthara is another MVP

So much coding progress today and its only noon.... yes...YES...

making poolish for pizzas tomorrow 🙏

I'm drinking the Bios Crash slurpee I hope it crashes my bios I hope I blue screen

Steam and itch.io have removed thousands of video games in recent weeks deemed to be "adult content" in order to comply with strict rules from payment processors like Mastercard. These policies censor artists engaged in lawful speech. Mastercard shouldn't be the gatekeepers of our digital freedom.

Keep up the pressure! #SaveSpeech

I can't adequately convey how maddening it was to try for the past 2 hours to understand why the audio options menu wasn't communicating with the audio handler despite using the same config file and all the same variable names, only to find that I was missing a singular _ in one of the scripts

Whenever I finish a new picture I "reward" myself by continuing to work through my dozens of bookmarked godot youtube tutorials for a day Right now I'm on UI/control nodes, which are my nemesis, so hell has never been more real

"I asked chatgpt" "I asked grok" well I asked Achenar from the best-selling point&click adventure game Myst and he told me to bring him the blue pages and NOT to touch the red ones

Drinking pear cider, drawing cock, normal friday night

This is your cue to increase the pressure.

I can't believe the password was NEIGH

They told me they're getting a lot of complaints about this when I called, tried to push me to do an e-mail. Politely told them I would prefer to leave my complaint by phone and they took it. Easy. If you're calling Visa, hit 0 and lead by saying you'd like to file a complaint.

bro you delisted my game and it has no adult content in it, just the word trans
