AAA video games should cost $100 on launch. this would still be extremely cheap for the amount of time and enjoyment you get out of them! But an audience of whiny babies has kept them literally at the same price for *two decades* despite both general inflation *and* sector-specific costs rising

This week on the blog: Peasants! We are at last putting together and wrapping up our discussion of life for pre-industrial peasants - a category which includes a majority of all humans who have ever lived. How we can model how they lived, worked, loved and died. acoup.blog/2025/10/17/c...

Being an OC artist who draws ship art of their characters is a very special kind of rarepair situation. It's me, my ocs and the few weirdos staring in the window as I play dolls. Kind of beautiful if you think about it.

tbh any answer i can give to those qotds about favorite character dynamics or whatever can be neatly summarized by this tumblr post:

imagine if a family of beavers randomly showed up right now and finished whatever thing you've been putting off

The solution right now is not saying “move to Mastodon, to Pillowfort, use Picarto galleries” etc, bc that won't stop this silent escalation of censorship and sexual repression on the internet. The issue is not which platform we choose, but rather raising our voices against what is happening.

This mf’er is a hugely unpopular lame duck and people and institutions with actual power are out here acting, for eight months straight, like he’s some goddam immortal emperor. Fuck that noise.

traveling can show you places you've never seen before. like the mysterious and silent rain-soaked streets at 4 am outside your window, because you're jetlagged. please let me go back to sleep it's fuckjng 4 am why am i up why why why

Remembering MN house speaker Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark and their beloved dog Gilbert. Murdered in June at their home by a rightwing Trump-voting evangelist, who also shot another MN lawmaker and his wife at THEIR home, 9 and 8 times, respectively (miraculously, they survived).

dress for the job you want, not the job you have. that's why I'm naked and ass-deep in a river waiting for spawning salmon to leap into my jaws

when i started playing guess the country i thought i would be learning geography, and i am, but mostly what I've learned is that there are a startling number of guinea and guinea-like countries

Writers should internalize Lao Tzu's lesson about how the emptiness at the center of a wheel is what makes it useful, and how a pot is valuable because of where the clay *isn't*. Corporate geek culture has warped us into thinking that negative spaces are flaws that need to be fixed.

#GenshinImpact #Flins "Sir Flins lives in a lighthouse, far away from here. He's decisive in action and seems quite tactically adept... or so I hear? Sorry, I can't say for certain — I'm a new joiner and have never worked with him directly. Everything I've heard comes from the Starshyna..."

I love OCs, talking about OCs, interacting with OCs, building up their personalities, stories etc. drawing them, seeing how other people draw and interpret your OCs, I could go on and on. OCs are amazing ❤️

my partner came into my room and started ostentatiously sniffing the air. i asked why they were snaffing, and it turns out they MADE ZUCCHINI BREAD and were trying to see if the smell from the oven made it upstairs 🤦‍♀️

Run your own race. Run faster than yourself. You are looking back at you with a strange and awful grin, and you are about to lose the race to yourself.

happy independence day

It’s just around 1pm on a sweltering 87-degree day in the green fields and woods of Adams County, PA. The morning was rent by battle as Meade ordered the XII, XI, and I Corps to regain their hold on Culps Hill which is successful. It has been relatively quiet save for scattered skirmishing

#PokemonLegendsArceus 🎨 I drew so many hisuian sneasel and sneasler fanarts back then... (this isn't even all of them, I made this compilation in 2023 and I drew them a bit more after this)

hey remember when a rich ceo died then when they caught the suspect they made a circus of it like they found osama bin laden and charged him with terrorism but less than weeks ago two democrat lawmakers and their spouses were shot as literal assassination to shift control and everyone already forgot

Only on the darkest arctic nights can you encounter this Primordial Pokémon. It manifests as aurora and ice, gently towering over the pole's frigid denizens... ✨❄️🧊 (There are 12 kinds of Pokémon in this #art! Can you find 'em all? Some are well hidden. Have fun & don't give away answers! 💕)

BREAKING: A few minutes ago, a vehicle of three people was rammed by a truck belonging to federal immigration authorities in Boyle Heights, CA. According to security footage shown to me, they deployed chemical munitions & detained the driver at gunpoint. All are US citizens according to the wife.

One can have a galactic idea but carry it so half-assedly, so boringly, that the idea loses all charm. The development is the hardest part, where all your knowledge and experience and world views come into play. Ideas mean shit if you can't turn them into a reality.

I saw someone say AI is useful because it generates ideas. My dude, I'm full of ideas. I have docs and docs marked under 'ideas.' I have outlines and fragments of stuff I might work on. Trunked stories galore. Even if I continue to write a novel a year for the next 40 years I won't run out of ideas.

Raichu vacation

my work flew me to san fransisco to meet up with my team! was it exhausting? yes. was it boring? sometimes. BUT i got to go to japantown and spend way too much money on lolita clothes at baby the stars shine bright, so in my eyes, the trip was a success ✨️✨️

feel like shit after being woken up by work alarms all night, but at least my partner made me huevos rancheros and hashbrowns and tea. i don't know how I'd get through oncall without him

trying to figure out if my coworker is truly incomprehensible or i am just bad at understanding ukrainian accents
