Genuinely tho you're going to find your "next site that truly carries on the spirit of DA and is For Artists" in your own little groups and doujin events scattered across the net, like it used to be pre-Deviantart. You kinda have to carve out your own little slice for what you wanna do creatively.

if you have the means to contribute to rebecca heineman's end of life care i recommend doing so ( www.gofundme.com/f/help-rebec... ), but also this is important too. im happy to have lived at the same time as her. i hope we can give some thought to, her legacy, and what we want ours to be.

this is a big part of why i gotta tell folks to cool it in chat when they start talking about "how bad the next generation is" and how "shorts poisoned" they are or whatever lest you become the boomer you hated, do not snap believe everything bad about the younger generations

C'mon Pittsburgh, run it in one more time I want that Scorigami.

$1200 for Trans Lifeline well raised. Watch and donate!: www.twitch.tv/gammachris @gammachris.bsky.social #gammaesthetic

Rebecca Heineman @burgerbecky.bsky.social needs to be transfered by helicopter to a medical center where they can better treat her cancer, which means her gofundme needs $20k more. please give to support this trans game dev elder if you can!

Good. Besides, the actual Bsky companion site you want is Swearsky swearsky.bagpuss.org

If you're coming to frosty show up after hours and play some shadow prisoner www.start.gg/tournament/s...

The guy from the "Hit it, Joe!" photoplayer meme is starting his own nonprofit to preserve silent cinema technology: www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

this take is likely gonna move across state lines, if not further. tragic level of theft here. please spread as far and wide as you can. GameCenter is as stand-up an arcade preservation group as they come and deserve comeuppance here.

ghibli needs to sue basically everyone under the sun

My Metroid hot take is just that crusty Call of Duty "boycott" image but it's MP4.

Somehow missed this in the news: Australia has denied AI companies the copyright loophole they requested!

If you ever wonder why your artist friend is so pissed off whenever they see AI slop used instead of real, human-created art, it's exactly what you think:

Patron Request Gauntlet XII continues TONIGHT at 7pm CT with an assortment of bizarre and interesting Windows games! Some of these are spectacular, while others are.....well... twitch.tv/retropals

Can we fast forward to the part where Jack bails because it didn't turn out to be the libertarian cryptodweeb paradise he wanted?

Y'know, it just occurred to me, we JUST missed the chance to have Kenny Omega on Dynamite last night so Justin could've actually given one of his long intro spiels *in* NOOOOOOOOOOOOOORTH CAROLINA. #AEWDynamite

They say this like Wicked City wouldn't absolutely be Beavis and Butthead's shit.

Waku Waku 7 for LordBBH's RetroAchievements stream! #art #sunsoft

As all this disgusting Epstein shit starts surfacing more and more, I hope we don't lose sight of the fact that apparently every major media outlet knew everything and instead spent their time money and energy attacking the trans community.

If there's anything I've learned about anime and animation in general it's that nothing happens in a vacuum. Watch and read the stuff that inspired the stuff you like, and you'll understand everything so much better.

Suck my nuts assholes

All this mention of old silly Gamefaqs things reminded me of two funny things: - Reading James Chen's FUCK SABERTOOTH rant in his nicely-written X-Men vs Street Fighter FAQ. - The glorious SF3 Third Strike Urien guide, which copiously called him THONG MAN and named his neutral throw the DORK CHOKE

Shoutouts to that one guy who kept trying to make Guard Piss a thing in his VSAV faqs

if companies aren't willing to pay people to make stuff anymore, maybe they shouldn't expect us to buy their stuff

Y'know what, I've kinda always wondered...

ASKING OUR REPRESENTATIVES TO ACTUALLY REPRESENT US IS NOT FIGHTING IT’S JUST ASKING YOU TO DO THE FUCKING JOB WE PAY YOU FOR

When SNAP benefits get partially or fully restored, please do not cancel any monetary or food donations you are making to local food banks. People are still going to need a lot of support.

crazy how the uma fanart policy is so misinterpreted by the global audience when it is just "it was really hard to licence the horse names do NOT fuck this up for us"

A reminder that this anti-trans panic is 100% bullshit and exactly none of our country’s problems are related to someone expressing their gender identity and everyone who isn’t a hate-filled weirdo knows it.

Schumer can be removed from his Dem leadership role this week - 23 Dems (and/or independents) just have to vote to depose him And they should, given this is his fault.

Please call your local senators. Advise them not to cave to the republicans deals. If you live local to any of these senators please call. The folks around the country count on you to speak up. It’s not a guarantee it will work but we can’t afford to do nothing.

the "TZW tapes", the skillsmith & TKO stuff, were some of the storied urban legends when i first started getting into the weeds, and like you can just watch all that on youtube now which is crazy, but again i worry that the platform itself might diminish that history. keep circulating the tapes

tbh as much as official rereleases are good for accessibility, I also feel like a lot of people just won't play games if they don't have official versions and that's not great for culture. Everyone should be downloading random ROMs until they find that special one that breaks their brain wide open.

I mirrored my fixed version here in the meantime: foone.org/ponies/zohran/

Genuinely probably the most important game in the world no one has played. If people actually emulated stuff instead of waiting for official rereleases we'd probably have the world's wildest indie RPGs coming out of this right now.

My Dude In This Game: Holemon (Slap Happy Rhythm Busters)! #art #furryart #OCs Easy to play, hard to draw.

the thing about furloughed air traffic controllers having to call off to work uber and whatever is why are the individuals working some of the most personally heavy and consequential jobs of critical economic importance in the world living paycheck-to-paycheck in the first place

Fighting EX Layer is a silly $1 fighting game.

This story is infinitely more important than GTA getting delayed. Don't let me catch you moaning about waiting longer for a video game if you're not mad about why it happened.

Instead of putting AI on people's feeds, why not try this instead?

Stop sharing AI slop. It's one thing if you don't know or just made a mistake. No need to breathe down someones neck b/c its harder to tell nowadays. But if you do know (ESPECIALLY IF YOU DO KNOW) even if you're posting it to make fun of it or sharing it unironically... consider not doing that.

I think the reason so many of us resonate with Mamdani's victory, despite not living anywhere near NYC, is because it's a deafening rebuttal of every centrist political strategist looking down their noses at us for thinking "You Deserve Better" is childish wish fulfillment. The "-and a pony" crap.

This is what that relative you don't talk to anymore thinks New York looks like right now.

It's "Advance"! With no d! People are always making this mistake!

i can’t believe a good thing happened we should do this more often
