companies listening to what people say they want instead of making art and just giving them something has been ruinous for games, movies and more for the last 10-15 years

New Strive dlc leak???

again: "ICE operates by Vampire Rules" is an objectively true and also funny statement

This gave me a cursed idea. #art

The news about LRG selling defective cartridges that will blow up your NES, followed by the discovery that Retro-Bit is just stealing fan translations for some of their games, y'all I'm beginning to think maybe this retro game collector enthusiast aftermarket is one big grift.

i am not interested in your genAI content, i prefer

A dungeon-eye view of Mega CD sewer crawling - and vibing. For the Mega/Sega CD version of Eye of the Beholder, Yuzo Koshiro and Motohiro Kawashima combined forces once again to create a truly awesome dungeonfunk soundtrack.

I will never stop thinking about this Gabe Newell quote

Seeing artists still posting on twitter

Movies you've watched more than six times, gifs only

Finally a Political Movement I can actually get behind:

"Baki causes an international incident" would be so fucking funny please let it happen

I just wanna take the stock market out back like conceptually. So tired of rich dipshits gambling on whether a company is going to do good or bad leading to perverse incentives for the companies to make bad choices to temporarily make number go up. I'm tired bro

wow twitch just made their worst decision in literal years Hi! Highlights are how a lot of World Records are stored! Unless you plan on reaching out to EVERY SINGLE WR HOLDER OF EVERY VIDEOGAME firmly cut this shit out. also hey! Some streamers have died! You're deleting their public grave!

"You can tell its a bunch of miniatures and suits" yeah, I can also tell when a Hollywood movie is 99% CGI, and they don't look nearly as cool as this! The choreography, weight, miniatures blowing up, real explosions/fire, suits showing real damage 👌 Where's my Gundam show in this style, bandai??

Microsoft occupying the void left by Sega exiting the console market has been a net negative for the entire game industry.

"Babe, are you a CEO? Cause I really wanna take you out, and give you 3-5 back shots. -xoxo" Valentines Day street art in Manhattan, NYC

Say it once, say it a hundred of times: Hitching the wagon to the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia and every new crypto bro that promises a payday ain’t the play.

New article up! It only took 6 years but... the translation of the Tōki Denshō - Angel Eyes development diary is finally up! Go have a look at the constant trouble this game faced while in the shadow of Dead or Alive... 🔗 sudden-desu.net/entry/touki-...

In my city there is one cybertruck and one DIY parody of a cybertruck and the parody truck has become a local celebrity. Meanwhile, I always wish I had some rotten eggs to throw at the tesla whenever I see it.

hey so google is just straight up installing spyware on your shit if you have an android. ai-driven content classification that just looks at shit you look at and decides what to mask/remove. www.protectstar.com/en/blog/andr...

if you wish to avoid using fandom at all, there is the indie wiki buddy plugin that automatically replaces fandom links to independently run wikis (and uses breeze wiki when no indie wiki is available) getindie.wiki

Happy tenth birthday to a real one

Mash throws in SF2 be like

Y'all gotta get comfortable talking about pornography and defending its right to exist and for people to look at it, even if you don't (but especially if you DO).

Happy Birthday to everyone's favorite Danny, Danny Retropal! @sardoose.bsky.social #art

Didn't feel up to a whole new drawing so I cleaned up an old piece. Happy Valentimes from Mr. Grumps! #art #OCs

Happy birthday to @sardoose.bsky.social, an absolutely excellent streamer (along with their partner, Alex) and quite possibly the biggest Makaimura-head I know! #pixelart

Anyways, draw that horny shit. "I don't want my art to be goonerbait", first of all, why are you viewing your art that way, second of all, draw for you, draw what you wanna see. I hate this puritanical lens that's on art socmed now. You're posting art for free. Who cares, be free

personally i believe we should treat anyone who profits off of gossip as basically the same as we'd treat someone who works at a collections agency

Break the chains binding to you platforms, people and media that are causing you harm. It’s never worth it to sit around hoping for things to get better when there is a world out there to explore. It sucks to lose something but it doesn’t mean you will never find anything else

thanks twitter for giving artists a reason to stop posting on twitter

"Oh well, at least there's wrestling on tonight..."

‘You Can’t Let This Happen,’ Says Fundraising Email From Sitting U.S. Congressperson

The big takeaway here is that Reuters won this case against the AI company on grounds they violated fair use—the judge found the AI company was guilty because, in using copyrighted works to generate its output, it “meant to compete... by developing a market substitute.” Huge.

TURN HIS TV OFF

Well alrighty then! I've made a neospring page for all your burning questions about me, dogs, OCs, art or whether I'm the guy who runs Good Faces Bot on twitter or not. Come on through! neospring.org/@bigbeardac

After 8 years at Vox Media/SB Nation/Secret Base, I have been laid off. Thank you guys for supporting me throughout the years and I hope you join me for whatever is next. Secret Base will continue to make great things, I honored to be a part of it.

jesus christ Kofie was a shining example of wit and talent. brutal.

Feel like setting up another of those "ask me whatever weird questions" pages since CuriousCat is dead. So what are people using for that these days?

History Of Sunsoft author Stefan Gancer learned that Fester's Quest came about simply because Richard Robbins was a fan, and first began arranging licensing through Charles Addam's ex-wife around 1987. But just how visible was The Addams Family in the mid to late 80s? I poked at this a little... 🧵
