more art from da bar

Bro has jasmine blowing around in his mind 😂

If "the hand of God" is one of those cocktails you make at a college house party by mixing every potable liquid that's the same color in a pint glass, I have also done this.

is there any group of people with a higher level of general life satisfaction and instantaneous joy than Japanese players in the MLB?

Just a reminder that commisions are open again! available for characters, cover and interior art.

all these years rewatching community and nobody wanted to tell me daybreak has an absolute heater guitar solo in the middle like what the fuck guys

I should post about a cool game design thing every time I bitch about AI so uhh I thought it was a neat idea for my ttrpg project to have Vices that shift your moral alignment but also include conditions to penalize you if you don't engage with them at all so it's like a mechanical compulsion

okay so like if dlss5 is a general model, that definitely means nothing is going to look consistent, right? particularly things like foliage and facial features are going to be processed entirely differently based on what's on the screen at any given moment? everything become will smith spaghetti?

Four postcards by Eric Drooker: 1) “Cat Stairs,” 2) “Colossus,” 3) “General Strike,” and 4) “Moloch.”

the most pathetic thing i can imagine is being a grown ass adult addicted to using the R slur. like it’s embarrassing enough to have it vestigially lodged in your vocabulary but to go to bat for your right to use a hateful word everybody normal got bored of in the sixth grade…?

I know we've only been studying games for like a hundred years but it's crazy that we still haven't figured out the resource problem in randomized games. If you need X to do Y, how do you avoid states of X by no Y or Y but no X? I'm trying black magic but it takes an unsustainable amount of blood.

“what are some accessories he could use to reconcile with his brother and process recent existential trauma” “uhhhhh”

I think it's funny to flip off my lizard when I walk past her tank. All the intent is lost on her and it's just another of an alien creature's inscrutable gesticulations. I wonder how many lights in the night sky might be funny to me if I spoke a bigger language.

more like lorwyn eclipsed by another brand integration. folks,

@mist3rbadg3r.bsky.social drew my wolf gorl. she's basically a furry version of my warhammer oc Eldrún, but more wolf and less wulfen. I LOVE the way she came out, he did a FANTASTIC job.

thank goodness it's finally Meat Day

Yourself but as a cartoon

Others are being more diplomatic but for my part fuck that: I do actually think less of you and your intelligence if you like Harry Potter. It's a derivative conservative neolib fantasy about how hegemonic oppression is only bad if the uglies end up in charge. Sometimes things we liked as kids suck.

Age verification? I remember websites.

this makes the third consecutive pope to see the seahawks win the super bowl during the first year of his reign

Must give thanks to the Seahawks for doling out such a monumental mollywopping that the previous whippings administered to my beloved Niners twice this season seem comparatively less embarrassing.

This game sucks. As soon as it was funny that nothing was happening, stuff started happening

so far tonight bad bunny has sung more reggaeton songs than the patriots and seahawks combined

teamwork

ah fuck. accidentally cooked a animorph

The cybertruck lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, spinning its wheels trying to turn itself over, but it can't. Not without your help. But you're not helping.

Seeing everyone on Twitter reacting to even more AI integration bemoaning having nowhere else to go and it's always like "ugh Twitter, Insta, Facebook, and TikTok are all AI slop feeds full of literal nazis, we're cooked" "what about Bluesky?" "no, too many cringe libs, which is equally bad to me."

"OoHhHhH they only used a tiny bit of genai but actually made the rest" they only used a tiny bit THAT WE KNOW OF. Why should I believe it's so absurd that they would have done more of the thing they already chose to do?

So many TTRPGs that ostensibly mechanize exploration include vast tables for random encounters with monsters and ruffians, but so few for encounters with cool mushrooms and bugs. Telling stuff.

this game is an escort mission for the colts. they have to gain yardage in small chunks and wait for philip rivers to walk up to the line. every couple minutes he spits out some dialogue like "hurry – we have to reach the satellite uplink so we can deliver evidence of the ambassador's wrongdoing"

After years of struggle, I have a new philosophy towards balancing variables in game design: simply make the system so mathematically inscrutable that balance becomes an obsolete concept. If calculating average values starts involving quadratics, no one will even bother looking for exploits.

Focus exclusively on maintaining standard and modern in set design, and use a single precon release at the end of the year to showcase how those cards can be used in commander as a means of onboarding both new players and staunch 60-card adherents to the format; never print the word "commander."

i think im gonna buy a honda fit

new scam going around where they hire you for a job but pay you less than the value your labor produced

Addendum: Also, what about stories where highlighting the abusive aspect of an interaction *is the point*? Not every depiction of nudity or sex is something you're meant to get off to. Does that content and those stories just no longer have a place on this site?

I'm hard pressed to think of a single piece of media more poorly understood in the pop culture vernacular than Calvin and Hobbes. Every fan iteration or meme format derived from the comics demonstrates a level of revisionism tantamount to biblical heresy.

another day, another gaggle of artists on tiktok forgetting that generative ai is a machine designed to destroy their work because someone uploaded a funny slop song about current events and we must uncritically surf each wave which presents itself

"Oh no, the leopards ate their faces" is rooting for the leopards that eat faces. You're happy that the people who supported the leopards are now being eaten by the leopards, because you are more focused on punishment and schadenfreude than you are with the whole "leopards are eating people" problem

Fantastic Four was a profoundly zen experience, in that it was so unconscionably insipid that my brain failed to produce a thought for the entire runtime.

dividing by 3 and then seeing a bunch of 3s in the decimal is so scary. it's like killing a spider but then discovering its nest

"No see because the soup represents the milieu of desire we all inhabit, and the backstroke contains this juxtaposition of facing forward and striving through labor, but still moving backwards, so in a way the fly is a reflection of the man who desires a soup devoid of flies. That's the joke."
