So glad I went back to Ellipsus. Fuuuuuuck that shit.

I played Romeo Is a Dead Man. It is now my most anticipated game of this year. www.inverse.com/gaming/romeo...

This is Flora Greenwood/Princess Strawberry and she is DARLING. Been kicking around her VN for a few years now, she's a college-age young woman who learns she's the "mid-season addition" to a magical girl team.

PBS is still alive. It may be down, but it’s not out. To keep it from ever being out, donate to your local station if you can. You’ll be able to do so here: pbs.org/donate.

It's all I want

Making your antagonists goth/punk/alt because you equate those fashions with animosity: 👎 Making your antagonists goth/punk/alt because it makes them look cool: 👍

This is how twitter users sound when complaining about Bluesky

Gently, some of y’all have got to recover from being called “weird” in high school and start blocking people instead of trying to convince them you’re not. Be weird and distance yourself from the people who are too embarrassed to be weird themselves.

Getting messages like “insults can hurt people’s feelings though 😢.” Of course they can! That’s why they’re insults! But no amount of reasoning with strangers on the internet is going to change their mind in an instant. Learn how to use the block function and be weird regardless.

Silly little animation I also voice cuz I hit 100k on YouTube a few days ago and I’m still stoked about it #animatic #animation

read this thread, the entire thread, because my god we need people in this industry to learn what comics are and how they are made. every one of these posts rang true and hit home w my own experiences

he's just a bit silly #art #tadc

Even so, the deepening entanglement of AI with traditional writing apps is a net bad for writers and everyone who values human work. The enshittification wheel keeps on turning (next step, removing the "Opt-out" feature entirely 🤪).

It's sometimes shocking to see the synthetic, heartless hate/greed machine grinding on like this. You know its always happening, and you see bits and pieces throughout your day, but having all corners lined up and framed like this is, is somehow...scarier.

What in the Gestapo is going on in Grand Rapids? Watch this activist get arrested *mid-interview* for speaking out against U.S. action in Venezuela.

“this is not just the flu” is incorrect, this is what the flu has always been and it is why i am annoying about getting the flu shot. get your kids the flu shot. anyone able to get the flu shot! this is devastating!

Michiya Kato shows how they animated the rippling hallway in Paprika (2006), dir. Satoshi Kon, Madhouse

"Twitter loses it's shit over furries" was not on my 2026 bingo card.

The children yearn for weird PS1 motion controllers.

We're stoked to introduce the 'No Gen AI' seal for indie games! Indie devs can use it on their game's store page to assure potential players that their game was made without the use of Generative AI. You can grab it from the Polygon Treehouse website:- www.polygon-treehouse.com/no-gen-ai-seal

This video, viewed millions of times on TikTok, Facebook and X, claims to show Venezuelans taking to the street to thank the US for detaining Maduro. But the video is a combination of four AI-generated clips and was first posted on TikTok by a user who frequently shares AI videos. It's not real.

Love this from Guillermo del Toro

#LegoMonkieKid I love drawing PIF in different outfits, so I put her in a flowy hanfu his time

My son put it best when he was a young kid: "Cats are great because you get happy every time you encounter them. You turn a corner, and there's a cat there, and it's like there's a cat, and that's great." I always think about it whenever I turn a corner and encounter a cat.

it's so transparent that the UK's online censorship act was about bashing the freaks and queers and not at all about reigning in what corporations can do. the labour party is fractally contemptible; the actions are bad, but if you dig into their motives they prove to be even worse.

This poster is one of the best on here and I’m so sad we’re losing her because of the appalling harassment she has been subjected to. Of course she must look after herself. And the rest of us need to do whatever we can to challenge and change this cruel, sick, dangerous, culture.
