This is the ideal way to phrase it. Too often I see big-budget media "raising stakes" by expanding the scale of the danger at the expense of what matters to the characters. Yeah, of course they have to save the day. They're obliged to. Do you really want your story to be described as *obligatory*?

so the videogame I'm working on is a prequel to a prequel to like, the 7th-or-so rework of a story I started spite-writing in response to a terrible freeform RP despite all this, it is probably the best thing I have ever done. there's no such thing as bad inspiration

I remember when "It costs $400,000 to fire this weapon for twelve seconds" was a funny joke about exorbitant spending on a stupid vanity project Today I learned it was actually a massively optimistic lowball

If Sega ever decides to make a game where Surge the Tenrec is playable (and they really should), she should have Luigi physics - better air control, less ground friction. The reasons are as follows: 1. She's green,

I'd draw Ergo the Auto-Dragoon more often if HE WASN'T!! SO DETAILED!! you CAN'T be too casual with drawing him. I love him lots though and I hope that shows with the design itself (2024)

Turned LEGO set 77005 into @the-hydroxian.bsky.social's "SA-55 Auto Dragoon" (orbot if he had swag). Always adored this design

It feels really weird seeing people give marathon a second chance after the whole "they shoplifted the entire aesthetic off of a specific artist" debacle. That's a permanent nonstarter for me

protip: if you go to a sleep study and they leave the lights on, it isn't because they need it for the camera, it's because the technician forgot

Reverse MOBA where you try to admin the base and keep pumping units and upgrading fortifications while the hero characters are bots and yell slurs at each other while dying to an unnecessary 1v5 in enemy jungle after chasing a low HP hero for too long.

ADAM: Uh, it's about seven degrees. JAMIE: Well, that's about a hundred degrees.

This telescope is by far the largest telescope NASA has ever taken. And it required a huge scope, and it also required a large tele.

I hope this tutorial on pumping up your tires has been depressing.

Almost every religion, fictional or otherwise: "The originator(s) created everything good and perfect, and all evil comes from some other guy(s)" A fictional religion I want to see explored: "The originator(s) created a perfect world... for somebody else. We're just grist in the mill."

I was tempted to reinstall FF14 for Dawntrail because the Arcadion music is really good. Then I looked up the Arcadion's storyline. It seems to be "what if Capitalism was Bad," concluding with "the billionaire was just misunderstood." I might hold off on that reinstall actually.

Comic artist struggles

playing deadlock with my fiance and 3/4 through the second game she says "whoa wait there's a minimap? how did I miss that" I have NO IDEA how she was able to navigate so well before that also she was fucking 12/0 at the time

Engineer, pointing: "Now look, buddy. I'm an engineer. Not an engifar. Gotta ask HIM about that." Scout: "What!? Just build us a tele--" Engifar 100 feet away: "ᵍⁱᵗ ᵍᵒⁱⁿ"

I don't know what game this is, but importing the Space Marine 2 character models into it was genius.

a dream project of mine would be working on an official Sonic project in any form or capacity. i've been catching up on the IDW comics and i'd love to be a part of a potential adaptation of sorts. i've already had some experience animating Whisper so hehe

I went to art school... I had no clue this is what people meant by "warm ups". Like, a whole routine? Each part specific and functional? Dang. Probably would have less "forgot how to draw" days if I did these every time. I'm gonna try it.

THis is actually a really good illustration of why LLMs are just...kind of not that good at a lot of the things they're sold as being good at: The thing doesn't fucking understand or know what the question is, it's doing pattern recognition and that breaks down on a long enough timescale.
