Found out that the Escape Velocity fandom has still been quietly toiling away making the games and mods available to play on modern systems. escape-velocity.games

Good thread on how automated answering services work and how people are too fucking lazy and think AI will solve all their problems except it just caused more of 'em 🙃

I will only accept this thing evolving into standing on two legs if it looks like this.

customer facing job (thank you @orewatowi.bsky.social )

Been feeling complicated about my artwork this week after experiencing a couple things that were so good I got mad because I felt like I could never make anything so good without changing my life drastically somehow so idk.

you have to be loudly pro-pornography and you have to never shut up about it. you have to become the "they want to take away your freedom of expression vis-à-vis cocks and boobs" person to everyone you know. i'm sorry to say it but it's just how it is right now

This is a very very very obvious point to make but shops and movie rental places and record stores are all more fun than buying things online

It's literally the "we are still doing it but now we would like you to be less mad about it." post. After 3 backdowns that didn't even back down they pull out another BIG puppy eyed SUPER sorry backdown that ALSO doesn't back down. No. You've fuckied your last wucky, UwU. bsky.app/profile/teal...

Repost with your Fart School classwork! My sonic OCs. Peets D. Horse (he's a retired marathon runner) Retch Raccoon (can climb stuff and smokes)

We made our own Sonic OCs for stream tonight! This is Spanner O'Hare, a bunny who escaped from a capsule in the first game and now she's a tinker for hire, unlocking area access when you pay with rings. No one is really sure who's side she's on...

i think we all need to normalize just being comfortable with giving earnest compliments without weird caveats. if your friend does something cool, tell them it’s cool. i don’t necessarily thrive on compliments, but it does means a lot if a friend goes out of their way to say something kind to me.

Today's gender: screaming in my car.

I still take character commissions FYI, happy to work within budgets as well (maybe you don't need full color artwork? maybe you don't want a motorcycle? Send me a message 👍) vgen.co/ixellent ko-fi.com/ixellent/com...

Finally restored my Etsy shop after the incident last month! www.etsy.com/shop/Ixellen...

Anyone have guides or advice on VHS to digital file transfer? I know some hardware is better than others but I’m starting to sense that some software makes it easier too in a way that modern video editors no longer prioritize (such as deinterlacing or recording in 4:3 format? idk! You tell me.)

This is important y’all. This is our chance to save the stars.

Pirating is bad until you realize that it is the only thing that keeps most things from being lost media. Having an anti-piracy stance for something you are only showing to select people over the course of 2 days, is taking an anti-art stance. Sorry 🤷

Can I say something without everyone getting mad? Phone flashlights are too fucking bright these days. I went to a concert yesterday and I felt like I was constantly being blinded by other people's phones the entire show (I agree that the row letters needed to be better lit, but it just sucked.)

Did you know you can 3D print your own amiibos? (I cleaned this up a little more after this photo but not bad for an Ender 3 and undried filament that’s been exposed to my apartment for ~2 years)

More and more it becomes obvious that choosing not to use AI is not enough -- just having a presence on platforms that embrace AI, even if you don't use those tools, puts your business at risk.

Hemingway was once bet that he couldn’t write the world’s happiest short story in just 5 words. He replied,

Replaced one of my shitty aftermarket sets of turn signals on the NX250 with OEM-styled aftermarket ones tonight (which were not labeled clearly and turned out to be LED so I had to get a flasher relay out and redo all the tiny aftermarket bullet connectors of course.) Felt good to be in the garage.

I started work on v3 of this last night 👀 Better late than never

Batman Beyond is incredibly good. I was sure I had nostalgia goggles for it but revisiting original Batman Animated villains and getting new ones and there’s “future” crimes and everything is stylized in such a cool way - it’s fun!

This is from 1995 and is still better than anything AI has generated:

If you live in the US, call your fucking representatives and tell them that repealing Section 230 is a horrible idea. If Section 230 is gone, you can kiss Bluesky goodbye.

discord isn't going to delete ur face id data btw: x.com/i/status/202...

Discord posted an update abt their age verification - I feel the need to inform people that all of these things were already true last year when they had that data breach that exposed people's IDs. Bad actors got into a customer support account that had access to tickets with people's IDs in them.

I'm not attached to or use Discord much or at all, but I have friends who are and I'm sure there are others too who depend a lot on it too. So I took a little bit of time to write up suggestions and recommendations I gave them for certain usages that may be worth considering. I hope this helps some.

Anyway I hope people start making self hosted things again and using E2E chat systems and using BBS style stuff for community discussion. You don't have to do all your communication on one platform. My brother and I used to send each other Youtube links using the (now dead) Youtube chat system lol

After my latest string of bad luck I feel chained to both Windows and Discord and it sucks. I switched to Windows almost exclusively about 5 years ago (it feels like 500) for gaming and ease of software use. I had been running Macs my entire life up to that point but they were just too $$$.
