The same badasses coming to like my posts about whatever hyper fixation I'm currently on

The other possible doctrinal conclusion is that blasting rope to waluigi hentai is not a sin

remember: Terry Pratchett said trans rights, and he was a white man from Britain who started writing Discworld in the 80s nobody else has any excuse

Few are brave enough to acknowledge the truth.

More context on this #Artemis II image: * This is the night side, lit by moonlight. You can see city lights in Spain & Portugal, & a sliver of day at lower right * The Sun is entirely behind Earth, which makes it a kind of solar eclipse, but w/ Earth doing the eclipsing instead of the Moon: ☀️🌍🚀🌕

I happened to be in a bar during the Artemis II launch which...I am never in a bar, so, unusual - and I watched several Gen X/Millennial people either get up to be closer to the TV or visibly tense up and man did the Challenger launch fuck us up

The thing about long seasons that were airing eps while also shooting while also being written is that the writers room could adapt based on audience reaction. Guest stars or characters set to be killed off become main players. Romances added or broken off. New ideas have time to grow.

i really need to deal with all my internalized ableism. maybe i'll like me more after that.

Hey, I wrote a thing about AI in astrophysics ergosphere.blog/posts/the-ma...

this is my primary concern with its use in the sciences. more than the horrible ethics of it, more than the power issues --both electricity and structural-- more than plagiarism machine. we are giving up asking "why" and a lot of folks seem ok with it and that is sad and scary.

"The real threat is a slow, comfortable drift toward not understanding what you're doing. Not a dramatic collapse. Not Skynet. Just a generation of researchers who can produce results but can't produce understanding."

this could be the subject of a dissertation

After 10 years of offering first-class, complete (we thought) dialogue solutions, we learned we had been missing the most important narrative design tool of all time: Tarot. We're sorry. We're listening, we're learning. And today, we've taken the first step: adding Tarot to Yarn Spinner 💚

Look - I'm a computer nerd - I know a bunch of other computer nerds. We're all very good at being nerds. And that breeds a certain... assuredness. Assertiveness. We're spiky, you know? We have tense banter. Every one of them just said "fuck yeah trans folks". Because we're old gits, not monsters.

Hey, look. It's a decent scan of this legendary image!

never realized how much this looks like going to my friend's house to play Secret of Monkey Island or Golden Axe --depending on the day--

on the last video people were telling me the ships were not firing enough. I changed completely fucking nothing on the guns lol, just added sprites to the bullets which I probably should've done beforehand since it makes things more visible. Now to fix the ship missiles not tracking...

not much rewatch, a *lot* of rereads ^_^ cowboy bebop and babylon 5: three full rewatches, and the same number of "i'll do it this time" lord of the rings: over 10 rereads when i stopped... :thinking: for the same reason i can't finish rewatching. memories about people i shared them with...

If you are Neurodivergent and rewatch media more frequently than your Neurotypical Piers please comment and/or like this post. Please share for outreach (I miss how easy polls used to be)

DLSS 5 could be like Congrats! Your frame rate has been enhanced to 120 FPS — please upgrade to Premium Capitalism+ to actually see all the frames. and I wouldn’t even be surprised.

kinda silly, but *naming* and making them not 'exact' is helping me deal better with timers that help me take care of me /shrugs

We’re in a video game crash. You can’t look at 45K jobs lost, games in dev for 5-10 years shuttered in a week or a month, jacked prices on hardware to 30%+ vs launch, and component prices through the roof due to garbage SlopTech and tariffs and draw any different conclusion.

wouldn't it be "funny" if video-games crashing is what burst the bubble --no, it would not. but. /sigh just sad overall

Borrowing a thing I saw on Twitter:

if you appreciate my art, design, procedural, or experimental work, or design analysis, please consider supporting me or reposting! i'm /extremely/ good at living frugally but i would like to eat better and get a new computer. i'm aiming to get to $1000 a month. www.patreon.com/vacuumflowers

As we near Trans Day of Visibility, now's a great time to be reading trans books. And it just so happens that I'm part of a bundle offering those books, along with other amazing authors like @badambulist.bsky.social and @danifinnwrites.bsky.social. The bundle: itch.io/b/3594/tdov-...

*Cupping your face with both hands* The parts of you that the people you were "too much" for made you feel bad about are the most beautiful things about you!

Somewhere in this whole controversy is an essay about how straight women accept stories of gay men in romance but not gay women AND comics managed to successfully integrate gay women as superheroes and has had a lot more difficulty with gay men...

One of this boss's many moves is a progressive missile launcher. It targets random tiles near the player, but each time it's used, it gains two additional missiles. Eventually it'll be a major problem, so take the boss down quickly! #indiedev #indiegame

oh god Steve what is ∇⋅ B again? oh shit oh thank god you have it in your pocket.

'wait when did chuck tingle get political?'

nice thread of little things to try with your colored pixels instead of just making them more photorealistic.

Feel extremely strong about this in particular when it comes to single player games I don't care if a game's "dead" if it just hasn't been updated in a year, I'm glad to play a complete experience

Admittedly, I'm a little biased

Want to feel old? Too bad, you do.

Yooo, HYPERBEAT is sick af Rez smashed into a rhythm game, and also you can wander around a low-fi Dark Souls hub as polygon cat girl or whatever else you can imagine like, huh www.youtube.com/watch?v=PnUj...

post a non-religious picture you think of as holy -- i can still hear its hymns

just know that if you engage with harry potter in any form i'm judging you

This is either gonna be fun, or self harm

You're not a Hufflepuff, you're 42 and supporting a TERF

just look how beautiful… we need the PC Engine back youtu.be/YWBYtLmiRuM?...

you may say, Brian, they can do whatever they want, its their company, to which I say legally, sure, that's how we be, but if you do this you should be recognized as the pathetic, amateurish worm you are for making this choice.
