got a guitar yesterday off a friend, played for 6 hours lmao

LDR/classic: here, u can set the fog color in this color picker :) 🫴🟥 #ff0000 HDR/PBR: But what does it actually *mean* to "set" a "fog" "color"?

If you ever admit you are wrong about something instead of digging your heels in, know that you immediately have infinitely more integrity than Disney ever had.

people at work keep thinking I'm way younger than I actually am, kinda gettin sick of it really. I wanna know how I go full Unc mode. I dont know what the fuck a labububu is.

me: *accidentally drops keyboard* Windows 11: You are now in Screaming Skeleton mode. Every 5 seconds a skeleton will scream at you and replace all text on screen with excerpts of the official novelization of Jimmy Neutron Boy Genius (2001). To turn this off please allow Bing AI to access your nudes

Vampire Queen BBEG. I have a whole write up for her profile :D Can't wait to finish #rkgk #dnd #fantasyart #vampire

Prince Florence of Chivaldir NPC for my upcoming rpg campaign #rkgk #dnd #ttrpg #fantasyart

I was informed by @qtko.bsky.social that Juggernaut Blitzcrank can air grab you on the snapback jump-in. I don't even play Blitzcrank and this is crazy hahaha

Random thought: the reward for speedrunning Metroid games is not that you get to see Samus in a bikini. The reward for speedrunning Metroid games is that you get to *be* Samus in a bikini

bad news bro, they're rotating your model to look up your skirt, they're zooming in on your cute teddy bear print panties and everything

i still dont know how to play video games #PowerofNature

anyway basically all of last month's work on PoN was entirely restricted to engine reworks so I dont have much fancy to show yet but the engine is easier to use now and I still enjoy goofing around in it (literally all of the audio is placeholder)

i've been described as a "sicko" before for being into shiren and shmups and, to be clear, i understand it's meant as a compliment, but i think i am thoroughly over this sort of "taste in video games as sport" framing

"…and Magda Goebbels made a great strudel.”

My next TTRPG is out! WETRUNNER is a cyberpunk TTRPG about elite criminals stealing fish in a post-climate-change, eternal-summer world where they're status symbols for the rich:

Reminder that muting specific words on social media for a day, a week, a month, or even forever can be laudatory self-care.

I had a dream my chest hurt, and then I woke up and my chest hurt. Don't let anyone tell u dreams can't come true 💕

How the hell did they even get this patent approved when it applies to HUNDREDS OF GAMES going back decades? Is there no prior art protection clause in the US?

happy fuuka friday! Juno’s Hand #persona3

This is somehow the best period for videogame criticism and the worst period to make a living doing it.

It's hard to cut down this paragraph (go read the article) but it's very "I am in this picture and I like it". I want people to be paid for writing. I want people to be paid for being good, and insightful, from their expertise and hard work. But I do not fear for Criticism, because it's SO good rn

if the frame viewer or replay takeover have ever been helpful to you, please consider donating at ko-fi.com/wistfulhopes. really need money in before tomorrow to get my gf's rent paid

Can't find a single thing wrong with this...

If anyone gets into the Marvel Tokon beta, could you let me know if Ghost Rider has Blake 6P from BBTAG as an assist option? Because that would be HILARIOUS

Thinking about Nanoha again and the words "ACAB includes the TSAB" keep ricocheting around my brain I need to write about it at some point lol

Everyone I wanna play Fighting Games with this weekend is like:

How many combos can you hit during the month of October? One combo every day of the month, let's hit the labs and show off your style for #combotober !

a huge number of inspired, creative and very very worthy-of-people's time games come out daily on steam and what inspires me is the hope that people will still find them and play them even if and when they aren't hollow knight level successes. the idea that maybe we can have careers that way

While reddit is clearly clowns and the motivational energy is good there is the part of me that's like "Don't worry, prove em wrong, just SUCCEED LIKE HOLLOWKNIGHT" is like not reasonable goals or expectations, especially when it takes as much luck as skill.

Please spread this information people, don't let Pay Pal dox you.

sorry but that person is also me, videogames for true beginners and kids are almost non-existent and basically only Sakurai god bless him is trying to keep the lights on, gamers protect their ego above all else, the hard game and the truly easy game are both not welcome in mainstream gaming

Todaybor Day Is Labor Day! Workers of the World unite!

I don't get how people don't realize that a technology that replaces junior and entry level positions in a field destroys that field. There's no skipping steps. You have to be a junior before you can be a senior, and if you don't have senior people, you don't have a field.

all the best windows software in history is called something like "joe's thing doer". it does the thing and nothing else and is available on a html website in plain text and takes up under a megabyte of space and uses default windows ui elements and will work until the heat death of the universe

Much like "crab", industrial music is constantly re-evolving from first principles basically anywhere where there's a bunch of metal and plastic laying about

I'm reminded of what Kentaro Miura said

Paypal ramps up NSFW censorship by beginning to go after not just adult creators but also customers. In a lot of ways, this is even more terrifying than the adult creator bans. With them, it's only me at risk, but how do I navigate a space where putting a game on Itch might put customers at risk?

nobody has seen the president in three days [burping and rubbing my president shaped tummy] that’s crazy

a friend of mine who's worked on a somewhat recent free multiplayer game says this about player feedback that I feel like is very astute hearing the feedback is frequently important but responding to it well almost never means just doing what the players say they want

It finally happened.

U fellas are really good at shining the get-a-load-of-this-guy cam at literal nobody twitter trolls role-playing as political commentators spouting bottom feeding transphobic bile to nobody in particular, but i can out-post u. I can out-post all of you.

They lost the election over this. It was close enough that any one of a dozen variables swung slightly their way would've made the difference, and this was the biggest. What's more, they KNEW they were going to lose the election on this, and it didn't matter

We need to start speaking up- no- YELLING to support and defend trans people. If you're in the USA, call your legislators. Literally email and call your representatives. Cis people have the loudest voices right now and those voices MUST be used to protect trans people.

you know how some people make youtube essay opinion videos that are so good that you're like "yeah I don't agree but I see how you got there and I understand it" every now and then I get hit with the opposite and am like "I agree with what you're saying but can't fucking stand how you got there"

Now, as with all art "rules" these are not really rules. It is merely an explaination for why your pic looks off, maybe a tangent is to blame. And of course there are cases in which you might WANT to create a tangent, as it creates a visual tension and draws the eye to a specific area. Good example:

This is a good article
