Give folks their flowers No, I mean right now. Go tell someone you loved their work right now. They're on social media just say it, it has never been easier "They know how much people love--" no they don't go say it right now to a composer or artist or game dev or writer or anyone AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH

敵との対峙

homestuck pilot takes place in 2009 but they say "pfp" instead of "avatar" immersion broken

Who's gonna tell him..

hang in there

Added alt text with full quote. “When I see that, I worry that they might face serious trouble down the line if they don't take it more seriously.”

so yeah

Playing Sonic Adventure 2 on GameCube. Gotta say, this game's really good when you don't have Arin from Game Grumps telling you it's bad because he doesn't know how to play it.

The timing on that is hilarious, but obviously it wasn't a response to Pokemon. ...That said, this communications director's quote is... kind of a red flag for me for a different reason.

Wow Mega Man in Crossworlds! I wonder what level they will choose to represent Mega M- shit its Wily Castle 2 isn't it, its gonna be Wily Castle 2

alright-

‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’ has returned “I’m not sure who had a weirder 48 hours, me or the CEO of Tylenol"

With each day, this tweet becomes more prescient.

do not kill the part of you that is cringe, kill the part of you that cringes

Genuinely powerful words to live by.

Then there’s Inafune where I now realized he greenlit a lot of Megaman games right before leaving as way to thrash out bc he knew they were money and time wasters for Capcom. We might have gotten a Legends 3 if he didn’t pull that shit by now

I would argue Inafune and especially Naka weren’t all that even during. I’ll never be able to think of Sonic Heroes dev time and not think that loser was a menace to the whole franchise

This is a BAD idea from a tactical pov all this means is an issue that bsky mods do NOT want controversy around will have NO posting about it for a full week a large number of people who come back from the "blackout" will likely not start up the complaints again it hamstrings the cause

DK and Li'l Pauline: complete! I recently finished Donkey Kong Bananza and wanted to do at least one more illustration about it (great game, by the way). These two buds are still real fun to draw. Now put Kid Pauline in Smash Bros! #DonkeyKongBananza #fanart

This was because said dev made a joke about if the shooter's name was Mario. Because, y'know. Mario and Luigi. Extremely tame stuff. But they fired an employee at the behest of a Twitter mob THAT WAS ALREADY BOYCOTTING THEIR GAME. The same mob that was harassing the star of their game. Dumbfucks.

WHAT WAS THAT

I think it’s a bit disappointing to see folks declaring they’re going to jump ship (again), as if any of the other platforms are actually any better at addressing the concerns at play. But well, you do what you got to do. I’m going to go draw.

Too silly

More Ralsei!!

Pokemon BW 15th anniversary 🎉

It SHOULD horrify him! AI SHOULD horrify EVERYONE! It's literally a technology designed to take away everything that makes us human. That makes us alive. It's designed to replace it all with Corporate Sanitized World, banal and uncreative and lifeless. It SHOULD HORRIFY EVERYONE!

I blacklist everyone I see using genAI on any platform. I do not click, do not engage. Simply block/mute/etc. and move on. I don't care how good their content is otherwise. I care about artists and creativity.

DC canceled this book because the writer made this mild intensity joke about the guy whose name I'm sick of typing. DC's parent company, WB, keeps putting money in JK Rowling's pocket because "we have to respect differences of opinion". the dots aren't terribly hard to connect

Silly
