What really scares me, now, is that I see the same playbook, in the hands of the same people who went after trans people, being used to monster Black and Brown people, without any real pushback. There's going to be a vast fucking ocean of pain.

If you want to get better at drawing people fast the Morpho books are going out their weight in gold. If I had to recommend just one to newbies I would say this one: Simplified forms

Mom Casually Mentions Her Bunco Group Threw Molotov Cocktails At ICE Last Week

Always a nice reminder that We outnumber Them, and it's not even close.

Was it Michael Eisner who once said, "We make money, not art?"

I think the ESA is trying to make some vague statements to suggest that something unfair to game studios might happen (eg, getting sued because players used your in-game character creator to make Keanu Reeves) to backdoor making it easier for studios to use actors' likeness without paying for it.

My biggest "then perish" ever to any studios who might actually be negatively impacted by this

Fun fact: This one sometimes gets less-than-stellar reviews not because the art and writing are bad, but because Joe can kind of suck as a person in a way that's difficult to not take into account!!!

I would describe this book as supremely kafkaesque but in a The Castle way, mixed with late court of Versailles vibes. I would describe it that way, but I won’t, because those words strung together probably should get me shot

This was one of the most unsettling books I've read in a while (complementary).

I want one as a little pet

it's actually kind of annoying how the RTD Doctor Who trope of "cool harmless-seeming thing everyone likes to use turns out to be evil" is so routinely straightforwardly the case now. those episodes are retroactively boring. yeah no shit man. why wouldn't the bluetooth earpiece be evil

So tired of blacking out every full moon when I really want to stay up and help the townsfolk hunt for the werewolf

#152 Would you trust someone like her?👀 P.S.: This type of commission will open at the end of June. I can add you to the waiting list in advance if you wish.

TFW your old murderous goblin "friend" (who kinda crushed on you maybe) sneaks into your cottage in the dead of nights and reaches for your newborn son, ha ha lol. We've all been there, right? RIGHT? ... Back the Goblin Throne on Kickstarter. www.kickstarter.com/projects/iro...

They are deeply and viscerally offended by the idea that someone, anyone knows more about anything than they do, and they act out when they are confronted with the suggestion their knowledge and general competence are finite.

The last two were and the next two years are literally just going to be endless rounds of “lol get wrecked nerd“ swiftly followed by “Ooooh, THAT’S why you were doing that” because our entire country is being run by pompous assholes who literally do not believe in expertise

Watched a vid recently about dialogue-based gameplay, and how to make it as fun as killing stuff in games. Gave me a lot to think about, but also made me aware of the existence of "We should talk.", and I'm intrigued. store.steampowered.com/app/1255990/...

Hey, today is my last day sharing this. I need about $185 more to hit this months big bill and like $4500 total to pay my medical debt down. If you can help me with this just by sharing the article, reposting it or quote posting, I would be so grateful. This landlady shit got me fucked up

i love how insane everyone is now

And I have to say it again: This isn't me condemning the niece, or calling her evil. Under capitalism, we all have a price. And hers was met. If I were the niece of, say, Basquiat, and some lizard in a suit knocked on my door promising me millions, could I say no? I hope so. But I don't KNOW.

In case you're curious: This is great breakdown of the actual (messy, complicated, stunning, tragic, defiant, and VERY political) life—and relentlessly commercialized afterlife—of Frida Kahlo. www.youtube.com/watch?v=3lcm...

How neatly and seamlessly she's been divorced from her very loud and front-facing politics to make her a two-dimensional Girl Power/aesthetic icon is simultaneously unbelievably revolting and fully unsurprising.

The recent talk about Tupac's likeness appearing in a video game reminds me of the Frida Kahlo situation. There are a lot of reasons I don't believe in ghosts, but somewhere on the list is "If she could have, Frida would have haunted a lot of ppl to death by now."

We are just ~$500 AWAY from @mgillman.bsky.social's "The Goblin Throne" being 400% FUNDED on Kickstarter!!! Anybody wanna sign up for an original page Add-On to help close the gap? First in line gets first pick! www.kickstarter.com/projects/iro...

And, per usual, crickets and tumbleweeds from the "protect the children" party.

I am begging you to Do Journalism instead of just scrolling Twitter

"This is what Polymarket thinks is gonna happen" is the new "I've decided this reprehensible rich man's opinion now qualifies as headline-worthy news"

Love seeing @ironcircuscomics.bsky.social titles in the wild. :V

Thread. Read a good comic, today.

Plz wishlist ICC's very first faltering baby deer steps into making games!

Iain M. Banks' Culture novels getting a Game of Thrones-style, big-budget, multi-season, R-rated-as-the-good-lord-intended treatment. Each novel, a season. First one should be "Player of Games." Then, "Hydrogen Sonata."

How I take criticism

It's the same in games. If you're making games cheaply and quickly, it means the contractors aren't getting paid. If you see someone doing well but their team is entirely contractors, the abuses happening bts are much worse than you know.

I'm about $400 away from my goal and $4500 away from paying off the Big Debt

we need even more of this, anti data center and anti ai politics is the most bipartisan issue in the US right now, the left needs to continue to be leaders here

She is made of but cardboard, so her time on this mortal coil will be brief, but I hope she entertains and educates many during her stay. Wish her luck, everyone. 🫡
