Playing Mina, and ended up doing not the intended dungeon first, and thought I might have soft locked myself. Luckily I managed to figure it out

“Everyone’s secretly using AI because it’s just too good!” No, no they’re not. This is the type of thing you say when you want to convince people you’re actually morally superior for wanting an algorithm to write your dog shit thoughts out for you.

really cool to see some of the press outlets picking up on Ribbit! big thanks to wes fenlon over at pcgamer www.pcgamer.com/games/puzzle... and @mackeza.bsky.social over at the guardian! www.theguardian.com/games/2026/m...

Some personal news, as they say: I’m so stoked for the rest of the Fired Four getting this deal. Conde is giving them nearly two years of backpay. They offered me 4 months. In the absence of a serious offer, I’m looking forward to my day in court. www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/bus...

Genuinely, this concern about AI is one of the reasons why I think having friction in video games is good and why it's increasingly important to have games that simply exist instead of catering to our expectations. Reposting this message from Kojima about "pre-digested" art:

i always enjoy an orson welles clip, but my fave's when he expresses my favourite sentiment, "all these guys who do it try to make a big mystery of it because that's their living". i've said this about programmers in particular my whole life. obfuscate obfuscate obfuscate. nobody should stand for it

Delicious in Dungeon / Ryoko Kui Exhibition is coming to Los Angeles (July 2-26, Art Share L.A).

Finished Pragmata and really enjoyed it. I hope they get to make another one 'cause I'm curious to see what they would do.

Before anyone goes 'But what did they ACTUALLY do wrong to get banned?', the dev's theory really does seem accurate: They drew tired office workers in their mid/late 20s looking too cute. store.steampowered.com/app/3079280/... Steam doesn't have 'rules'. Just vibes that moderation staff can invoke

Catching up on @remapradio.bsky.social's Baby Steps finale, and Whiskey suddenly got interested

A whole Washington Post oped hitting AOC for daring to criticize the robber barons. It’s like Bezos and the Post are trying to make her president.

as a follow up: i had a lawyer talk with another lawyer and are getting these ads using my art taken down and damages paid. it ain’t a lot but i hope it’s enough to make a point. update the wiki!!!!!!

It's been nice to see more writing about anime since I stopped writing about it, but sometimes it makes me wish I was an editor or still writing 'cause often the person writing is half-right or missing something important. And I just want to be in that draft like, "fix this and you're good."

I launched an indie webcomic hosting platform several months ago that offered a free and a $4/mo paid plan. This was purely to cover the cost of the infrastructure. But in seeing it grow, I'm no longer worried about the cost. So yeah Webcomic Studio is now free. webcomic.studio

The fact that "being taxed on a wealth that would take most people dozens of generations to gather" is "the scariest thing she's ever seen" means the world isn't scaring millionaires and billionaires nearly enough yet.

I know it's not the most important thing here but Quentin Tarantino didn't even write the fake Bible verse. He stole it from an old Sonny Chiba movie. And something about that last extra layer of bullshit really adds something to this whole thing, to me

“Since the attacks on Iran began, it has been frightening to see how quickly both the world and Japan seem to be heading toward war,” said Jun Takahashi, 36, who attended a protest for the first time. “I also strongly dislike the idea that Japan … might be seen as complicit.” wapo.st/4tj0q66

She really said that the best part of any show is the thing that this dumbass company that paid them a truckload of money often denies to others. Sooooooooo true

Hilarious to see a KyoAni production manager use the studio's blog to say that the absolute best part of serialized anime is the weekly anticipation, discussion, etc…wrt a series like Denmoku that streams exclusively on *Netflix*. Doesn't affect them since it'll be on TV & streaming weekly, but lmao

Highly recommend Creepy Nuts live. Extremely good

We’re so used to calling the various tech oligarchs and Trump pigs Bond villains but Eric Adams is unique in that he is the only irl Venture Bros villain.

the crawling sensation of being Too Directly Targeted

After Trump pivoted on Iran and announced a two-week ceasefire, the acronym “TACO” made its way to headlines around the world — along with some creative translations to help explain the concept of “chickening out.” Decoding TACO,from Japan to China to France, Italy, and beyond: wapo.st/4stfr47

They saw a spider. They care about nothing else now.

They saw a spider. They care about nothing else now.

it feels like such a massive concession of ground for ppl to be constantly defending "learning" and "gaining experience" as good things. like the teacher is letting their worst student stop the whole class dead every day.

I got to see the first episode of Akane-banashi last night, and I'm really glad it's getting such a good adaptation. The animation is great, but there is also clearly a lot of thought and care being put into it and how it depicts rakugo.

TOMORROW!! I just got home from setting the show up. I’m so tired but so very excited :’)

According to documents filed this morning by the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of NY, ICE has been lying for a year — not only to the public, but to the courts and to prosecutors — about being authorized to make arrests at 26 Federal Plaza and other immigration courts. (1/2)
