i think what gets overlooked is that part of the humor and charm of edits like these is that you're perfectly aware that someone sat down and spent their own time making it. they chose to do something cool or silly or stupid or genius, regardless of the results that human element elevates the work

It may not be a good idea to weigh in on the MTG discourse, but I have an urge to, so I'll at least keep it brief: I think there should definitely be support for people who want to turn away from fascism. However, actions always speak louder than words, and since "flipping", MTG's been mostly words.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays and whatever else you celebrate. Here's the illustration for the end-of-year postcard I sent to friends and family (those in my address book anyway) #art

With another influx of users, a nudge to remind people to use alt text

Watching The Terminator for the first time, paused to take a short break, and saw this as soon as I opened Bsky...seems rather fitting, lol, especially since Arnold's muscles kinda look like leather couch cushions in the opening. 😅

Also that in character select, Rosalina and Pauline are clearly holding hands

Decided to try Micro Macro: Crime City from @pegasusspiele.bsky.social for the first time tonight, and it's a lovely time! I'm not good enough to do the advanced mode where you solve the entire case just from the first card, but it's still a charming and chill way to spend a solo Christmas Eve! 🥰

New comic. Merry Christmas! 💚🌟❤️

You may entice a woman with a piece of cheese but you can catch a trans girl specifically with a booster pack

Manatees! Such goofy friends and definitely near the top of my "Favourite Animals" list! 🥰

Christmas is here 🎅 #art #sharks

Oof, didn't expect to see this when opening up my Steam activity feed. :( Here's hoping the former and current folks at @heartmachine.bsky.social can land on their feet.

I'm a cooler universe we'd have a book called Harlan Ellison's I Have No Pussy And I Must Dilate

The kicker is that - assuming I found the right paper the student was supposed to be writing about in my cursory searching - it's a 20 page, detailed academic paper. Hardly the sort of thing you skim over and throw together a vibes-based reaction to in 30 minutes. www.studocu.com/en-us/docume...

Art vs Artist 2025 Another year almost over

Your power bill has tripled and you can't afford new PC parts just to create this.

Gotta say, as stressful as it was in the moment, I'm so glad I could buy and move into a cozy townhouse this year. Ofc there's lots of benefits both short and long term, but my current focus is that I can actually crank up the volume and jam to my vinyl with less fear of annoying my neighbours. 🥰

Just won best debut game at the Indie Game Awards! Gogogo! Haven't played it myself (worried it might be too spooky, lol), but definitely worth a look imo, even just based on the demo stream I watched before it came out! 😁

The Escapist: "Ironically, Blue Prince used generative AI for its art assets as well. This includes small stuff like various background pieces, nothing core. But it still used it." Also The Escapist: youtu.be/r7l0Rq9E8MY?...

Please share this widely. There have been 13 peer-reviewed critiques of the Cass Review, to the extent that academia regards it as pseudoscience, but so far all have been subject to organised censorship by mainstream media. This is the first time one has broken through. Oz Guardian only still.

Fetch...or whatever.

the two genders: melee and ranged

Hell yeah, finally made it onto a moderation list, and it's one I'm heckin' proud to be on! 😎 (Also, I love the fact that apparently I "can't shut up about it" when I barely post in the first place and even then only a fraction of them are talking down AI slop. 😂)

It's that time again. Get Jill O' Lantern at it's biggest (and last) discount of the year! 60% off and just $5.99 USD! store.steampowered.com/app/3203550/... #Steamgames #LGBTQgames #Indiegames #IndieDev #SteamSale

It's cool to look through my Steam Replay and reflect on the games I played this year. 2025 seemed more "focused" than 2024; I played fewer distinct games, but I feel like the result was I got to play and write about a lot more new releases, which was a neat experience! Here's to more fun in 2026!

This is incredibly important. If you read one thing this week: marcusolang.substack.com/p/im-kenyan-...

I wish more game journalists would ask the Clair Obscur team how much AI they used and on what, because I definitely get the feeling it wasn’t just that one placeholder asset..

If you see this, we IMPLORE you to post a picture from whatever device you’re using without explanation

A heart’s a heavy burden

It’s not Larian’s fault but it chaps my ass that because they’re Larian they can have a trailer with a full on orgy in it in the middle of the Game Awards and meanwhile adult content in games everywhere else is getting cracked down on left and right.

Do you want to check out the first game I ever gave a 10/10 to and pay less than two Canadian buckaroos for it? Well now you can! 😁

Felt like I was going crazy seeing people who've spoken out so much against AI either ignore this or explicitly say they're giving it a pass because it's E33. Not even sure how much I buy "We only used AI to make something that almost looked final just to take it out," in the first place tbh.

- Game is great, cool cooperative system, flexible Everyone says that, normal pitch - Game is cursed, if you manage to publish it, you defy the Gods : Mysterious, intriguing.

Woooo, glad to see The Midnight Walk get some recognition! Go Potboy!!! :3

Gonna be going on-call for a week starting next Friday, and all I can say is I hope things improve by then, because right about now I'm like, "Yeeeah my odds of crashing out at some point along the way are, like, 85%".

we really do need to be treating five nights at freddy the same way we treat harry potter at this point

FNAF/Scott Cawthon should not be supported in any way. Don't buy/stream his games, give money to the franchise, watch the movies, etc. He uses his gains FROM FNAF to support harmful legislature and candidates on the right. Which is bad, yes? Stop supporting him. He deserves nothing.

It's a Patreon post, but it's publicly accessible, and that's a very good thing; this is so important to read, to remember, and to *believe* if you have ever considered you might be trans.

I played Horses this weekend and I wrote down some messy thoughts not only on the game but especially on the specter of formalism that emerged to haunt us all for a moment. transgamerthoughts.com/post/8023277...

YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYA THAT ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is exactly what I do upon finishing a podcast
