Some more P.O.V. sketches.

Genuinely thrilled to see an executive in comics come out with this hard of a stance about it

Damn right.

Just to be absolutely clear: The President of the United States has absolutely no power to “take away” any right enumerated in the Constitution from any person. And that is how every single article, blog post, and social media commentary should start when discussing this ludicrous statement.

My birthday is tomorrow. There will be a stream at 5pm Mountain celebrating that, and my 5th affiliate anniversary. Stop by for some joy and whimsy. Consider this your invitation for some happy to break up the doom scrolling. 🤘

it always blows my mind when these people act like “the left just calls everyone nazis” these days and it’s like no. we’re calling nazis nazis! there just happens to be a lot of them in and around the government these days!

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Today! I wrap up my video retrospective series on the TurboGrafx-16's launch lineup. Onward to Q4 1989, then: youtu.be/F-MPhSxYnzk

Here's a brand new article for all Ko-fi supporters to read! This one's about Kirby's first adventure, happy accidents, and a generously designed game that allows happy accidents to blossom into something special: ko-fi.com/post/Kirbys-...

Watching the dominos arrange for subtle, seemingly innocuous shifts in history and perception. Eyes looking in different directions, a slightly different carpet color, etc. What troubles me is when it becomes indiscernible and later used for reference in other media. AI Mandela Effect inbound.

Oregon National Guard Adjutant General, General Gronewold says if they are federalized, that he will advise the Title 10 commander to utilize National Guard Troops to PROTECT protesters at ICE facilities. This is the right answer.

more of this - every democrat should start every single soundbite with "the president is senile and implicated in the crimes of jeffrey epstein; republicans are covering for him on both of these"

It's so ridiculous that MAGAs believe the GOP line that "Democrats want to give free healthcare to immigrants." My dudes immigrants aren't getting free healthcare in the United States. American citizens aren't even getting free healthcare. You know who is? The people lying to you about immigrants.

Small Brain: Bob Ross is a great artist Big Brain: Bob Ross' art style is basic, rudimentary, and prescriptive to the point that anyone can copy it Large brain: if anyone can copy it then everyone can make art Galaxy Brain: Bob Ross is a great artist

Okay, games researchers: looking for something that happened in 1991-92ish. the sound team at Sierra On-Line was interviewed, including Chris Braymen; talked in the interview about using character and leitmotif, key changes, and transition pieces. Trying to find the magazine, if anyone has clues.

grateful to hear him say this out loud — too few institutions have this decency and courage

These people are evil. Never stop saying so. Don’t be intimidated into shutting up.

On another platform, @debaoki.bsky.social wrote a magnificent rant about how many of these books are killed by Japan's uncompromising image rights restrictions. Comics are a visual medium. To properly write books discussing comics, you NEED visuals. But for Japanese publishers, the answer is no.

Never forget that Dolly Parton gave a million bucks for covid research at the *very start* of the pandemic—including money that helped fund the development of the Moderna vaccine.

Alright, let’s recommend some books about games. This will be a thread I add stuff to as I think of it. Kurt Kalata writes about all kinds of games but if you’ve known his work as long as I have, he’s Mr. Castlevania. I really liked this one. www.amazon.com/Hardcore-Gam...

Trump’s nominee to be the Army’s lawyer is confused about the First Amendment. Independent journalists must be free to report the facts without fear of retaliation. If we're sending troops to war under false pretenses, Americans have a right to know.

It's been one year since I was laid off from Bungie, and I'm still looking for full time work. If you've got any leads on game design or games qa positions, please reach out. I'm a skilled designer, and nothing I led QA for ever had any bugs ship. dianavoyer.com

you guys happen to notice how everything is finance and landlords now and many things are both

Hi, I'm a trans Californian who reported on the CA bills. This headline is misleading at best. You haven't noted that he has until the 12th to sign the other bills, leaving that out is irresponsible and fearmongers. People can and should still pressure him on those bills. bsky.app/profile/mady...

I've uploaded a new anime convention videos, this time the Anime Expo 1992 costume contest. This version was a produced video by the con and aired on their in-room cctv channels where I recorded it. That was a very neat feature of the old Red Lion Inn.. #otakuarchive youtu.be/QRpKKPwjZ04?...

I wrote a long article about Rieko Kodama, her career at Sega, the evolution of her company, the games she worked on (including some canceled games and/or games for which she is not credited), the status of women and working conditions in the video game industry, etc. vgdensetsu.net/riekokodama/

Sometimes we ask @jkooza.bsky.social & @allymobbs.bsky.social to do level testing. Somehow they always get stuck fighting ⚔️ #gaming #indiedev #gamedevlife #awaysis

Zelda has been sounding the alarm on the dangers of AI for YEARS, long before the technology got to where it is now, because she's: 1) brilliant (go watch Lisa Frankenstein). 2) ridiculously smart. 3) experienced first-hand how fucking WEIRD people are about her Dad.

Help a game design legend fight cancer.

Friendly reminder that it didn’t all begin on 7 October 2023. It began with the Balfour Declaration of 1917, the Nakba since 1948, the Six-Day War of 1967, the full blockade of Gaza since 2007, and so much more. The genocide in Palestine is the culmination of racism and settler colonialism.

It's a pretty big deal that the NYC Bar Association--one of the most prominent and respected bar associations in the country--is accusing the President of ordering the "unlawful summary execution," i.e. murder--of civilians in violation of US and international law. www.nycbar.org/press-releas...

I dunno man, try listening to marginalized people *before* shit goes wrong, and maybe it won't keep being like that

Three more old white Republican guys excited about violence against women

Evening bump. New neat thing at my shop to add to the other neat things.

Your whole life can change forever after a single covid infection. Even if you're healthy and vaccinated, you can become disabled - permanently. Put. The. Mask. Back. On. It's never too late to start doing the right thing, for others and for yourself. It matters.

Let’s not forget or gloss over what Maxwell was convicted of.

Oh, my God please let me audition for something! variety.com/2025/film/ne...

CALIFORNIANS! you can help make our state better and safer for trans people RIGHT NOW by telling Newsom he needs to sign these bills! We need you!

Since it is the Game Gear’s birthday, I’ll go ahead and link my article about my 10 favorite games on the system. Spoiler: it’s a lot of Shining Force postgamecontent.com/post/7934646...

Its a Monday and that means new Shivam and Wheeler Love Magic! This episode we cover a set that was insanely powerful, full of wannabe cards, and controversial as hell but when looked through the lens of time, an absolute banger top to bottom, Throne of Eldraine! sites.libsyn.com/460224/sawlm...

My small gift to the internet this week is 40+ minutes of high-definition RGB footage of the original Mega Man played from start to finish for use in video projects and such: youtu.be/K3Uw4ETHDuw

I know that it’s technically illegal, but I wish I had a spare copy of the Circle of Magic series by Debra Doyle and James D. Macdonald, so I could scan them in for posterity. It’s a series that I love to this day, and hate the idea that they’re no longer really available for purchase anywhere.
