If you, like me, have no desire to upgrade to Windows 11 but Microsoft is rattling their metaphorical "no more protections for YOU!" saber, Enroll in extended security updates. Took me less than five minutes for both devices. Do it before October 14!!!!! windowsforum.com/threads/how-...

happy birthday to the pokémon game with probably the best out of context scene

To everyone reading this right now. I'm JAKE. I'm the Japanese person who recently published this article and promoted it on Twitter (X). note.com/guiltyjake/n... This article introduces Fantasy Maiden Wars, an amazing game I absolutely love.

I've been loving seeing people look up non-social media sites of artists they love and learn stuff they didn't know, or that they can support the artists soon on tours/events! Copy me and pitch the same idea to your people. It's never been more "fuck platforms", let's find and bookmark REAL websites

YOUR TUBA GIRL WAS JUST ON A GIANT COVER OF MUSIC BOX OF FATE! AND IT'S FOR CHARITY! (benefitting @ImmuneDeficienC) The fact that it's also International Plasma Awareness Week is incredible timing To be on a cover so meaningful is such a blessing. I will cherish this forever! (1/5)

All kinds of emotions 🤭✨ In the end, I decided to make them all ‘cause I gave them as gifts to those who bought me a keychain 💛 #MysterySkullsAnimated #MysterySkulls #fanart #sketch

Our feature artist/tutorial today is this great page on HANDS HOLDING CUPS and GLASSES, by the talented @taco1704! That note on the WRIST INCLINATION in particular make such a difference in giving this subtle pose more LIFE! #anime #manga #illustration #characterdesign #artists

My way of dealing with this: give yourself permission to suck. There’s stuff I’ve written that I KNOW is great. I’ve also written shit that just didn’t work. You aren’t defined by any one work and as long as you still have the awareness to know you CAN suck, you trust you’ll know the good days too

Currently at: — only buy tech too old to have AI built in — painstakingly disable AI every time they add it to something that used to work perfectly well — if it can't be switched off, abandon the platform or tool — if there are no good alternatives, avoid the AI parts — patiently wait for the crash

My secondary hot take is that you need to decide if you like making comics for money, attention, or for yourself - because all of those are wildly different metrics of success and two of them don’t require you to financially set fire to your life (for at least 10 years)

The mystery of medical diagnosis!

yeah, first I heard of this... turned it off immediately...

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but news / social media—especially when constant, chaotic, and unfiltered—can hit our brains like a DDoS attack: overload attention, flood emotions, and make it hard to think clearly. It’s okay to step back and curate what you let in. Your mental uptime matters.

Alright, I had to wait at first, but I can say now that tonight's sponsored segment is gonna be Marvel Cosmic Invasion. Excited to try this one out.

People will say shit like "this is better than Galaxy" when shit like this happens:

I've seen two YouTubers from extremely different communities lately get burnt out on negative comments, so here is your thought for the day. It costs zero dollars to be nice and leave love for your favorite creator.

Omg that new Hazbin Hotel Season 2 Trailer- There's so much to talk abouttttt.

PSA for all YouTubers: they've been pushing auto AI language dubs onto channels recently, and for many viewers it's on by default and some can't even turn it off at all. To disable it for your channel go to YouTube Studio > Settings > Upload Defaults > Advanced Settings (cont.)

Tomorrow 🦇 #art #oc #Halloween

Talking to people younger than me about how I beat Battletoads on NES & they CANNOT conceive of a world in which the internet doesn't exist. "So you just sat down, & played Battletoads ALL day, REPEATEDLY, until you memorized the entire game...?" "yes ."

This is Cleo. She has a unique way of sitting. In fact, she has several. 14/10 (IG: cleolonglegs)

Spoopy month is around the corner & sadly Robotnik is having none of that! 👻 #Sonic #YoshisIsland #PixelArt #Art

I finally watched Hazbin Hotel, have some Charlies

Gotta participate in this year's -tober challenge

I still think it's really cute when the whole Alliance wait for a single sprout to watch the last boss cutscene n some of them start cheering to the rhythm. Did this yesterday at Thaleia hahaha #FFXIV

When even your favorite media isn't living up to your expectations the correct answer is to make your own shit. Congratulations bitches this is called being ✨inspired✨

diagnosis: STINKY prescription: wash verdict: Not Happy!!!!! #pokemon #sylveon

stop thinking of indie work as something 'made correctly' or 'made for you' nothing will be 100% made for you unless YOU are the one making it engage with work as it is - you can hold space for what you wanted it to be, but you gotta uncouple yourself from the disappointment or you'll be poisoned

You fuckers do this shit EVERY time a queer creator makes some sort of media that isn't inclusive or queer "in the right way" (AKA has the representation that you PERSONALLY want to see) I am begging you on my KNEES to get a fucking hobby

Ooooh, I finally have a use for this panel I put aside for later use in case it came up bsky.app/profile/axle...

On this day in 2006, 19 years ago, Pokémon Diamond & Pearl were first released. These games were new games set in the Sinnoh region with a story to stop Team Galactic, and included 107 new Pokémon www.serebii.net/diamondpearl

Honestly, what I've learned over time is that in order to truly be intelligent, you HAVE to be humble. You have to be able to admit you don't know something before you can learn it. I hate that modern schooling teaches us to be embarrassed for not knowing something.
