Chat, which MegaMan game is this?

Anyone has exact details on what this Steam shared cloud storage feature does? The documentation is not clear, and I really need to be sure what it does before activating it!

Boosting again for the night time crowd! Please help if you are able. We would appreciate so much! 😭❤️

Remember when people used to speak of RPG Maker derisively? It's responsible for so many foundational works now. Without it, no Yume Nikki. No Lisa. No To The Moon or Oneshot. And now we're getting stuff like Fear & Hunger, Omori, Look Outside. All because one Russian pirate with a Spanish handle.

Bat, Literally Translated into English. Map by me

Samus movie poster I made a bit back. One of my fave recent pieces.

"We have to move to another app." - you're only on one platform? Learn the lesson from Twitter/FB/Insta: don't lock yourself in. - Use decentralized platforms that support account moving. (Mastodon, Pixelfed) - Build your own homebase, link from there to other platforms!

Every single video on the demographic collapse of Korea is "they're already doomed! even if we fixed this today we'd still be fucked!" and just, Does Not, mention that immigration could/would instantly solve the problem. You see this even from folks who claim to be leftist, and I just. Uh. Guys?

Don't mind me, I'm Oblivionposting.

Pope Francis has died at 88. His final message: a call for a Gaza ceasefire. “This is cruelty. This is not war,” he said after Israel killed 7 children in Jabalia. He called Gaza’s suffering “deplorable” — and made nightly calls to Christians trapped there.

it's important this go as viral as the original story for morale purposes if nothing else. despite the image they project these people are NOT unaccountable. consequences CAN be forced. focused anger and outrage MATTERS.

Applications are open now! We’re looking for Canadian indie teams of 2-6 people interested in worker-led studio models. This is a FUNDED opportunity - you’ll get a $25k stipend and a community of peers to support your journey! babyghosts.fund/peer-acceler...

As promised, here is the first week of Vaporwave pinball's performance. Shown are sales for week 1, and wish lists up to launch day.

Hey Canada, remember proportional representation? We could still have it some day. It’s not dead until we drop it, which I’m never going to. You can ask your candidates about it, and ask the media to ask about it. (Like in the form linked in this piece.) www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

My son works for this company here in the U.K. It was playing the video game ‘Deus Ex’ that set him on the path to becoming a Biomechanical Engineer. Sometimes, it’s nice to highlight the good things that video games can do. And also remind myself just how proud of him I am.

Tell me about your paranormal encounters or anything you deem high strangeness that has happened to you. 👽👻🔦🛸

Gonna be in Denmark and Austria for a chunk of May. If anyone has any shows, shops, or other shit to recommend?? 🙇‍♂️📼🧐

Have you heard about Saudi Arabia buying acres of Arizona land for $25 per acre *anually* in order to steal our groundwater? It’s for alfalfa, btw. For the super wealthy’s horses and cows. Seriously.

Harvest Moon 64 // Doga 🍄🌿 ________ I want to redesign the full HM64 cast & turn it into a finished print - but I need help! Years of buying supplies for my students has left me in massive debt as I shift careers. Tips/support are much appreciated. Ko-Fi is in comments. [ #art #harvestmoon ]

people using genAI because they "didn't go to art school, it's too late to learn" : I didn't go to art school, I went back to drawing at 27 and now, 7 years later, drawing is my job cause I worked my ass off learning & practising

I didn't go to college at all, and I have a highschool diploma that was printed on an inkjet printer at home None of that mattered because I worked my ass off to get to a competitive level with my peers at 23 You have to want things hard enough to work for them

Kidlit colleagues, just a reminder that JK Rowling *funded* this challenge over the definition of women at the Supreme Court. Every time you choose to work with her, platform her, take a stance that aligns with her, buy her books, nominate her for more awards, she uses that and funds hate.

Now that the trailer is out, I can say that I worked on the VFX side of FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH with a great team at Digital Domain! www.youtube.com/watch?v=1gB9...

Foreign Friends with Travel Plans to the U.S. for Conventions: A bit back I said you should maybe reconsider those plans. I would like to amend my prior statement. Cancel them. Cancel them now. We cannot keep you safe from our own government. Take your holiday in Spain or something.

Enjoying the Vancouver spring while it lasts.
