Jacob Geller has a fascinating video I recommend you check out on data preservation that still sticks in my mind youtu.be/ukJ_UA-JS5o?...

More random 2am thoughts: Digital distribution will never be able to support the same concept of ownership we have for physical things. It is impossible to "own" a digital copy of something. What does "ownership" mean when I can give infinite copies of my "owned" MP3 music to anyone I want?

Fuck Sony for getting rid of physical media. One of the main reasons I own a PS5 is because I want to maintain a collection. I might as well just buy everything on Steam from now on and ditch consoles all together.

This is real btw

Loving Mina the Hollower, but I do not like how the health vials work at all. Makes failing at platforming unnecessarily punishing and hard to recover from a fight if you're struggling. Also Maxi can fuck right off. The density of the world and art design is fantastic.

I has been 4 years since I drew the Fanart of #MinaTheHollower. Tomorrow I can finally play it! #art #anthro

Something else I did on Friday was visit the Museum of Modern Art, and honestly it had a really profound impact on me. For most of my life all of the art I've interacted with has been on flat screens or reprinted on paper. Walking through the museum I felt a... presence to the pieces.

Saw Hadestown on Friday and don't mind me while I obsess over it for the next 3 months

The odds are better than normal that whoever's on the ballot as the Democrat in your district this November will win. So it's important this primary season to make sure that whoever that person is, they're committed to an aggressive agenda of reform and accountability once they take office.

Kids should be learning that AI output isn’t trustworthy, where it really comes from, and how it’s disrupting our ability to tell what’s real. They shouldn’t be learning that AI will make them more efficient or do their work for them because it can’t. That would be propaganda, not education

To make the original Nosferatu extra spooky, they hired an actual vampire to play him. This is covered in the documentary, Shadow of the Vampire.

It's been awhile since I've done a @cantripcandles.bsky.social order but I just couldn't help myself. The really cool notebook may have sealed the deal. Now what to write in it...🕯️📖✒️

New painting! Finished a private commission of Karlach from Baldur's Gate 3! Painted by hand with acrylics on gesso board 11x14" 🖌🎨 . #Karlach #BaldursGate3 #BG3 #Baldursgatefanart #fanart

Watering the plant🌱

I have both Duck Detective and Frog Detective installed on my Steam Deck and I'm not playing either of them. What am I doing with my life?

"Facism is the act of self-deception in service of making your own life more painful, solely for the payoff of making life more painful for people you dislike."

Hmm... A lot less Nintendo than I would have thought.

Saw the Mario Galaxy movie over the weekend. It was a lot of fun, but I think I enjoyed the first one more. The pacing was off and felt even more tenuously strung together than the first. Like it was made backwards, all the cameos and easter eggs decided first and the plot jerryrigged to fit.

Hey I got debt to get out of and a lil queer group of friends to help support and feed and times is tough. If you could consider perusing my cool ass wares I would appreciate it!!! #dice #dnd #pathfinder www.etsy.com/shop/Altered...

Love this video from @hankgreen.bsky.social - beautiful photos made all the more beautiful when you understand what's going on youtu.be/oaXRREHVkHo?...

Because the Moon is tidally locked to the Earth, if you build your habitat on some plot of near-side regolith you can put the little Earth anywhere in the sky you want & it’ll stay there, lazily meandering around just a little as the Moon wobbles in its orbit. A view of Earthset from #Artemis II.

Just gorgeous images to look at on the NASA Johnson Flickr this morning www.flickr.com/photos/nasa2...

Discord's April Fools' joke was that they added an integrated browser game into the app and I genuinely didn't realise it was meant to be a joke because I'm so used to them jamming in bullshit features I immediately ignore

Don't come at me with any "With not both?" bullshit. The money from Harry Potter is being used to ruin people's lives.

This is my trans agenda

Happy Trans Day of Visibility ❤️🏳️‍⚧️❤️

Hey folks, for Trans Day of Visibility I am going to do another Indie #ShowCasey! 💙💗🤍💗💙 Are you a trans gamedev? Reply below with your game, tell us a little about it, and make sure to include a link to the store page. Everyone else? Signal boost some neat games! One rule: No GenAI!

We tend to get caught up in determining someone’s moral worth as a person when at the end of the day it should be about looking at the harm they cause, why the caused it, if they’re going to do it again or will stop, and if/how they will work to rectify the harm they did. This is what I care about.

Breaking: After Death of Sora, Sam Altman Carries On as Heartless Nobody

And because I've seen the comparison: This is not an H.P. Lovecraft situation of "separate the art from the artist." Lovecraft is a century dead. He's not alive right now, trying to suppress records of his yacht visiting Epstein Island and swearing to make the lives of millions of ppl unlivable.

this one hurts the most

New Philosophy Tube drops on YouTube in a week. It’s a massive one about the history of conversion therapy from 1849-2026, as the British health service is bringing it back. You can see it now on Nebula, or if you’re a Patreon patron.

New Philosophy Tube is up for Patreon backers A history of conversion therapy from 1849-now including how the British government is bringing it back, and how to fight it The lowest Patreon tier is $2 a month so you can see it now for as little as that www.patreon.com/posts/early-...

Oh damn this looks exactly like my jam. The Casey Explosion Recommendation Machine strikes again

Both the protagonist and antagonist of Sinners have supernatural abilities related to music but one is shown as collaborative and warm while the other is meant to be a display of extreme control and cold and dark but very importantly both rip shit musically

Never a big Narnia guy but this 6 seconds typifies everything I love about British television.

Hey folks, I've just added The Seance of Blake Manor to my Steam curator page with a huge thumbs up! I should've added this sooner, it's a thoroughly genius detective game that is remarkably well written, and draws inspiration from Irish history and mythology. store.steampowered.com/app/1395520/...

THIS IS NOT A DRILL YOU CAN GET EVERY DISCWORLD TOME ON EBOOK FOR LESS THAN THE COST OF A SUBWAY FOOTLONG COMBO. USUALLY GETTING EVERY SINGLE BOOK LEGALLY IS LIKE 400+ NOT. A. DRILL. www.humblebundle.com/books/terry-...

I have never been as unexcited for a year of Magic sets than this year. And I've been playing since Battle for Zendikar (Lorwyn Eclipsed was fantastic tho)

KOG IS GREENLIT! Since this was shown in the trailer/ad for the artbook it felt safe to share. This was drawn in '24, early dev, the first time it really felt me, Zach, and JBO understood Frankie, Andi, and the show's tone. I still look at this drawing and think, oh yeah. That's #knightsofguinevere.

We've been looking forward to sharing this news for a long time. We're making a graphic novel! The Owl House: The Long-Lived King Written by me and the amazing @mikkicrisostomo.bsky.social Illustrated by the incomparable @dindu99.bsky.social We're so excited to tell a brand new story.

AAAHHH So excited for this! Bridge of Spirits was an urderrated gem. www.youtube.com/watch?v=12EQ...

The aurora last night in Beaver, Alaska was just incredible. This is a real-time video (not sped up) of the crazy motion I saw. Also, look how BRIGHT it is, wow!

Donate to a good cause if you can.

oh hey, this is what i've been yelling about for years steam does indeed provide fantastic, irreplaceable services for both its developers and its customers 30% is still too high.

Times like now, I think its really important not to isolate yourself. Not just like "oh go out an organize locally", that IS important, but also just check in with your bois. Find whatever joy you can scrape together with your crew. Have a little potluck, play some board games, call your friends.

Also: the gay fox girl mario game works great on Steam deck
