Thank you to everyone for the birthday well wishes - in lieu of saying anything grand, I really just wanted to try to give some help to someone who helped me a lot. Mike McFarland's GoFundMe is still running, whatever you can give is appreciated www.gofundme.com/f/support-mi...

What is impressive about writing your wizardslop in a café owned by your family as you sit around all day drinking free espresso eating free scones and then going back to an apartment the government pays for that you never clean? Like it sounds NICE yeah, but not impressive. youtu.be/NeFUqCrmPC0

Joanne closed her helpline for single parents right around when she announced she'd be donating heavily to anti-trans causes. They closed because of lack of funding. She's a billionaire. She doesn't care about "single mums". www.gingerbread.org.uk/our-work/new...

I'm so sorry, buddy. I really am trying to do what's best for you, even if it doesn't feel like it.

Well, damn. This is kinda surreal. Rivals of Aether II has been featured on CNN's Entertainment page, complete with my VO for the Fun-for-All Update video.

I think the way characters in the series treat Inuyasha like he's nothing more than an impulsive, thoughtless dumbass really sets a precedent for the audience to act like that's all he is, but actually consuming the text makes it obvious that he's the most thoughtful person in the series.

It's not that I dislike Sesshomaru as a character. I just wish it seemed like he was doing more than aimlessly wandering the countryside. It just makes his character "racist demon who hates his brother because daddy gave him a nicer car [sword]"

My Roomba, bless its heart, gets confused by the concept of a coffee table. I'm not sure humanity is ready for self-driving cars.

The main difference between my #visualnovels Asher and Tell a Demon is that in Asher, the main character, Tetrine, rarely gets away with lying, whereas in Tell a Demon, Tell is often rewarded for it. #indiedev Asher: sunlabyrinth.com/asher.php Tell a Demon: store.steampowered.com/app/679230/T...

Kalevel, a protagonist in a few of my narrative games, is on a mission to save her sister, who became the game's main villain because of the Immortal Empress' greed and jealousy, in my #visualnovel, Tell a Demon: store.steampowered.com/app/679230/T... #indiegame #gamedev #interactivefiction

No matter how many of your reps you call, no matter how loud you scream, there is someone hired by some fucking think tank paid more than you will see in a decade to sit in these freaks offices and say "trust not the peasants sire they only seek to undermine your genius."

Mediocre writing has lead to some of the most successful movies in decades in Marvel films. The idea that Harry Potter is popular somehow makes the prose any less shit is wild lol

god made headaches to nerf me this is the only thing i believe in god about

You deserve to live in the same fear that you subject others to every single day. I hope you never know peace because even your dreams haunt you.

They are releasing a wishbone documentary!

Sango and Miroku have such old lavender marriage couple vibes and I wish we got to see more of it

im no reaganite but you gotta admit it would be pretty sick if the wealth did trickle down

i think some people have a hard time admitting that they think ANY shonen series with qualities of empathetic narrative are actually meant for girls that's extremely dangerous to me because BOYS NEED EMPATHETIC STORIES TOO LIKE WHAT??? MORE THAN EVER THEY NEED THOSE STORIES TO COMBAT INCEL LOGIC

I hate how much that Street Fighter trailer actually just looks like Street Fighter in a good way, because I can't stand a number of the people involved in the movie.

I think artists should be able to make a decent living without living in one of the three designated "this is where you live if you want to be an artist" cities

I'mma be SO real with you. If I were ever presented with the opportunity to live without worrying over money and my health, I can guarantee you'd never hear from me again because I will have fucked off so hard into my ideal goblin life far, far away from the internet and its nonsense.

If there's one thing you can say about Wall Street guys is that they're very sensible and so we should all base our future welfare on their good judgement.

he's still in there.

All episodes of The Comic Shop are now equipped with human written captions and none of that YouTube generated AI slop!

Tetrine, a protagonist in many of my narrative games, grows a lot when it comes to love. Asher: sunlabyrinth.com/asher.php Drown the Bride: store.steampowered.com/app/3894260/... Winter's Trumpet: store.steampowered.com/app/1342910/... #indiedev #gamedev #narrativegame #visualnovel #pointandclick

Whenever Chappelle comes up, I always go back to this Carlin interview. For a split second, Andrew Dice Clay was the most popular comic in the world. Loud, ALL rough edges, and speaking to a particular demo with his material whether he acknowledged and took responsibility for that or not.

Also don't blame the audience for not getting your joke. You're the comedian. Getting your joke across is your job and you did it bad

And even if he wasn't, it doesn't change the fact that it happened. Nobody was ever telling you he didn't have the right to say what you want, they were telling you that your words have consequences so maybe think before you say them and they were right

I think I'm tired of entertainment? Not art itself, but the entire machine of it all has burned me out. I'm watching an anime from 20 years ago and engaging with a little indie work here and there and I just... don't care about anything that's being made beyond my connection with specific artists.

Every time I get in my feelings about marijuana legalization I inevitably get someone like "yeah okay stoner weed is more important than fascism" but you need to understand that marijuana prohibition IS a tool of fascism! It exists only to imprison black and poor people to use them for labor!

gen z is—WHILE SEEKING WORK AMID LAYOFFS/AI FALLOUT—currently: rallying at detention centers and tracking ICE sweeps; organizing mutual aid coordination of funds, food; building code to help people find affordable housing; *still* pushing their universities to divest from weapons manufacturers; +++

the people writing these op-eds for the Bulwark or NYT have seemingly never gone to a protest that wasn't a No Kings protest, and at said No Kings protest somehow strategically avoided eye contact with any of the young people from JVP or PYM or Sunrise or etc etc etc. they've BEEN PROTESTING!

But also. This was under a dem admin, if you'll recall. So if you're seeing less reports on protests, might be worth considering that we're under a police state that works in tandem with a conservative mainstream media that only selectively reports on our own fascism. www.npr.org/2024/05/08/1...

I'm so tired of the word "unprecedented", its been the word of the year every other day for nearly ten years. We've been strapped to a rampaging bull and the bull got loose from the rodeo and we're all screaming and flailing and there's broken china everywhere and oh look more china 🍽️ 🐂

I have a new podcast coming out tomorrow. It's about the aftermath of the Titanic disaster. Please listen and subscribe I need your money and attention.

You think I can RELAX at a time like this?

ALL MY DEMO COMMISSION SLOTS ARE OPEN!

He's shit-maxxing in his pants right now. Negative aura.

"Mogging is when you, like... outclass someone." "Oh, so then I'd be 'intelligence-mogging' you right now. Got it."

God, you can SEE the panic in his face as his brain cells actively start dying because he's got the mental acuity of a toothpick.

skirt looks heavy, mom's spaghetti

The most bad-ass rebuttal from Tite Kubo, the author of Bleach.

Temporary solution while we wait for the ear wrap to come in. Trying to reduce how much he's slapping his ear around by shaking his head with a sock to keep it pinned in place. He hates this more than just the cone, but if he doesn't want to go back to the vet, this is what he's dealing with.

so we're back at the vet

I love that my income steadily decreases every year but I owe more in self-employment taxes every time.

It~ was~ never~ about~ protecting~ children~ Teenagers. Old enough to have babies but too young to make decisions about their own bodies. Love it here. I fucking love this country.

Nobody else has reported on the fact that this killer nazi incel was actively engaging ChatGPT in pedophilic conversation, and it never once shut the questions down and ended the chat. extreme trigger warning: graphic discussions of incest fantasies and extreme physical and sexual abuse
