In my "trying to do art again" era, we have something a bit different today. Some pixel art! Here's Peepa fitting with how you would need it to put into one of the GBA fire emblem games. I love when the mini portraits for a map play with the space some so here's Peepa trying to jumpscare you.

Since Polygon is leaving it out of the headline: Epic Games partnered with The Game Awards to put money into the pocket of a bigot who uses her wealth to further the genocide of trans people through lawsuits and legislation. Every 'free' game gives money directly to JKR, and they are complicit.

Aotearoa: solidarity with trans people/trans kids BLOCK THE BAN National day of action Friday 19 December 6pm Western Park, Freemans Bay Tāmaki Makaurau (info from Block The Ban on instagram) poster features colours of trans pride flag (blue, pink and white)

This is horrific and exactly what those of us in Black studies, gender studies, women’s studies have been warning our colleagues in the sciences about. Their seeming neutrality will not save them.

So here's the thing; you can choose to use gen AI or not. You can choose to buy conflict diamonds or not. You can choose to invest in weapons manufacturers or not. If you know how something is made and accept the harms involved, then you are making a statement that those harms are acceptable.

🚨 Yet again Ted Cruz and Steve Scalise are trying to sneak in a moratorium on state GenAi legislation. If passed states can no longer enact laws for transparency, child safety, privacy, environmental protection etc. We got 3 days to stop this. Call now! www.senate.gov/senators/sen...

I miss being on a game team, making video games.

No.

Subliminal is actively no AI as well. I actively also don’t use it in coding or any other computer feature like co-pilot or ChatGPT either.

Let's not let them just normalize this - at Denkiworks we don't use generative AI at all.

We don’t use generative AI at Strange Scaffold and I can confirm that a *lot* of other studios are not—whether indie or AAA. Get outta here with this normalization bullshit.

Shutdowns weren't a thing in the US either, until they were invented by the Carter administration. It's not some natural, immutable characteristic of the US system of government, although people (not the OP) talk about it that way.

The republican party is starving americans until the democrats let them take away even more healthcare

i think my IDE might be a furry...

spent my entire morning trying (and failing) to compile Godot with the .NET and Voxel Tools modules, and now my brain is fried I'm now at work ;-;

Salvation Army seen feeding ICE today. For anyone who doesn't already know about their bigotry, here is more, No need to give them your money this Christmas, or ever.

It cannot be made clearer. If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

Just want to remind everyone that little moments of joy are so important right now. For instance, my cat does not understand the human concept of kisses beyond Incoming Nose = Love. So every time she’s happy, she’ll smush her face or shove her nose into ours. Please share your joys with us.

I fully understand how difficult it is to remain focused on any one particular atrocity but this really ought to be a serious scandal and people need to pay heavy prices for this

Autism is a natural divergence from neurotypicality. It's normal & not the tragedy these clowns are making it out to be. Transness is a natural divergence from cisnormativity. It's normal & not the tragedy these clowns are making it out to be. Just deal with people being different than you.

going back to using Old English pronouns. hēo/hīe/hire (this is a joke but i could see a queer linguist doing this, and im fully behind it)

holy shit REAL

Good work, Washington.

saw a post i liked on tumblr today.....didnt see that they'd posted it on their account here but i wish they would its a sentiment that resonated w me more than making "good" art it's just important to make art....thanks man

With alt text:

hey go download nycto when it comes out. its cool and good and i love it also if you can, support @moriyashiine.dev and @cybercat5555.bsky.social 'cause they do other cool stuff

Big announcement 🦇 Nycto's vampire section is now finally feature complete! We've spent *a lot* of time on this, but we're finally comfortable enough with it to confidently say it'll be publicly released in the coming weeks! (continued in replies)

Thank fucking Christ.

recently bought a 5th gen iPod 'cause i wanted a good dedicated music player without all the extra stuff so many modern music players push on you :3 it also wasn't wiped before it was sold, and had the entirety of season 2 of iCarly lol

the entire age-verification trend of websites/social platforms is malicious, unnecessary & speaks to a more sinister trend i also think it is remarkably foolish to act as if your org's headcount being small is any viable defense for your inability to protect your userbase

yall aint ready for dominant hole theory either probably

"a bendy straw is a teleportation device" -my wife, @aseverellesandra.bsky.social im gonna fucking die y'all

Hey Americans, if this passes you'll be uploading your ID to every social media and website to access it.

i *really* wanna see mastercard go after insanely popular mainstream games. i want them to light that match while they're already doused in gasoline a lot of people dont care right now because "its just porn games" but it definitely aint gonna stop there

It's worth pointing out that the reason the New Deal allowed Democrats to basically run the Federal Government as a one party state for 50 years was because FDR's work programs included white collar labor. There's a reason his second electoral map looked like this:

There's no anomaly here. People, globally, volunteer their time to powerful public goods the moment they're not actively terrified that they'll lose their home, their food, and their freedom. Which means that capitalism requires us all to live in fear, always - because it can't compete with free.

Call them anyway. Ignore their directive. Email them as well. Flood them. They wouldn't even be trying to redirect all of these complaints if the pressure wasn't making them uncomfortable.

so I'm workin on adding some additional armor types to Arcanus, specifically cultist robes themed after the mana types, and just for fun i decided to run them through a couple color blindness filters surprisingly they are pretty distinguishable! at least i think. definitely could be better #mcdev

So disappointing. Yes, we need to ramp up adaptation, but it's wildly premature to say "it's too late" and give up on decarbonization just because we didn't avoid climate impacts altogether. A warmer world - with all its challenges - still deserves our love, and will always be worth fighting for.

Fun fact, they don't want us to transition and do everything to delay or even prevent our transition So no, it's not as easy as they claim to "get your d*ck chopped off" :)

illegal mining and hunting of animals without a license, if we count mod development as playing otherwise uh... idk what crime would be associated with Deltarune lol

the “never kill yourself” movement has to be supported now more than ever. it can be hard to find reasons to live, a lot of the time. spite is a good place to start for now; let it be the embers from which white hot intensity is born, the fuel for the coming inferno.

mine's AAAAAAAAA(etc) or aaaaaaaa(etc) if im feeling like its not worth all caps and sometimes it's just "a"

and for those that want to see numerical values for their mana, thanks to @up-is.gay #mcdev

Working on Arcanus' new mana system, having 5 types of mana instead of just 1. Wanted to show off that the mana bar's size is dynamic to the amount of mana one has, as well as a configurable max size to ensure it doesn't take up too much screen space #mcdev
