There is a lot of overlap between goth, industrial and punk in terms of what goths like, but most of the bands being mentioned are definitely industrial, not goth. Unless maybe it's a UK/America thing? (Or an "I am too old to be relevant" thing :) )
The Thing is one of my favourite movies and this short video has some fantastic images of the miniatures they used. A lot of attention is justifiably on the amazing practical effects by Rob Bottin and his team but a lot of the other models were also stunning. youtu.be/lNrpM9fXoRE?...

Oww, yeah, too soon.

Just because the Tories purged all the liberals from the BBC does not give them licence to make such a historically delusional programme as King and Conqueror. Ivo Taillefer is famed for charging across the battle, alone, to kill Saxons making fun of his singing. Not for being oiked with a spear.
I'm looking for animation work! Here's some of my work, if interested contact me at: imogen_scoppie@hotmail.co.uk π¨ #animation #showreel #portfolio
Oh my gosh, getting in touch with the BBB WORKED. PayPal is restoring my account and I should have access to my money again. If you are in the US or deal with the US PayPal and your account is randomly, without warning, and without explanation closed down, file a complaint with the BBB!
...asylum seekers better off than they were at home (Take the difference between what someone would make in their home country and the amount they make working here, split it in half and make that sum a new arrivals tax for the first 5 years someone is here.)
The book "Open Borders" by economist Brian Caplan and artist/humourist Zach Weinersmith explains - in completely understandable terms - how immigration can improve an economy. It even offers the option of a "New Arrivals" tax as a way of mitigating ill feeling while still leaving (cont...)
Yep, the days of "Takin' our jerbs" being a major fear are past; now people are far more afraid of a "taxpayer burden" being created by people who are economically inactive. It's one of the core Green Party policies to allow asylum seekers to work.
*chortle* What would you do with Outlaws: Dungeon Keeper?
Someone send inkwrat many, many more pins please.

This is the list of games that AI thinks use cnc-ddraw. AI does not work. Though I would play Fallout: Theme Hospital if it existed.
Sharing all of my blender texturing secrets in this in-depth ucupaint guide, hope it helps π
After 6 months of awesome work, πππππππ is launching this Sept.! Check it out along with 4 other indie games from Michigan devs as part of the @locallysourced.bsky.social anthology 2! Check out our steam page at: store.steampowered.com/app/3938610/... #gamedev #indiegame #steam #majorupdate
That actually works better anyway. He thinks he's entitled to use my organs, and turn-about's fair play. And I'm hoping your kidneys will be big, tough and nice and springy for you.
*scrabbles to tell friends it'll be a long walk to give blood to Snoopy* :D
RT if you also wish ill upon JK Rowling.
"We need to make games quicker" No, we either need to get investors to understand that they can't speed up making a game and it takes a decade for AAA now, or we need to get players to understand and be willing to accept that we can't do AAA any more.
If I pelt him to death with Blorks, can I have your kidneys?
Two best horror movies: Ringu and He Never Died - if you've not seen either of them, I recommend you pounce.
Which country is that in?
.. the awkward moment I realise that, yet again, I have suggested we kill a lot of people for science.
King Harold used to be an adventurer, but then he took an arrow to the eye.
And this is exactly what Trump was trying to force on Britain in his trade deal.
Do you know if there's ever been a modern study on whether eating a person makes an animal more likely to kill another one? Or is killing maneaters just revenge for the sake of optics?
I wonder how many visual effects artists think James Cameron is too expensive
And they wonder why they can't afford to make their products
It's not so bad. Ask her for food. No, stop. Wait til 4am. THEN phone her 91 times to ask for food.
It's amazing that they think they're going to get more of the old and disabled back in work when they're doing nothing to actually make it possible. Statistics show massive discrimination against older people in the job market, and companies don't offer WFH or other things the disabled need.
So basically, you're her narrative cat.
Nope, definintely not a mistake. I was blown away by the quality and originality from the moment I opened it.
Do I know anyone interested in small freelance gigs? A mix between illustration and design work, about 8-10 hours per piece. Paid. This is vague, but please drop your work below if these are strong suits of yours, thank you! π
It's believable - Australia once went to war with Emus. No, seriously. Real thing. And a Cassowary is just an Emu with short legs.
I saw Gavin Newsom with the California Republic flag and thought the NCR bear had lost a head.
Several decades ago, I spent ages sorting out these archives as a temp. It involved a lot of heavy lifting and dust to the face. It's a massive shame that these archives are no longer available to the payers of the licence fee.
Yet they claimed we had to Brexit for the fishing industry... while making EU sales much more difficult for the little plastic men who truly contribute to this country. (Also its contributions count double because Ian Livingstone has put money back into the country with his school)
Sadly, I think our status as a gaming superpower took a large hit when studios shuttered left and right and institutional knowledge got thrown in the bin right along with the devs who held it.
I'm having no joy fighting age with jetlag, either.
This does not seem legit, but then, it's not hard to find 615 "game developers" who aren't legit and are just trying to clone other games with AI. Which they seem not to be succeeding at, because AI is shite.
IF bag.exists THEN cat
I can't find any blades in that name.
"live and drink" contains an automatic upsell - it makes me thirsty every time.
You two deserved it - well, that and probably a sizeable cash sum, because there's never enough of those. Caves of Qud is my go-to when I'm trying to explain the benefits of dedication to craft.
Well deserved!
Then I won't explain why I agree with you!
Get ALL the condiments.
Urge to steal all their salt & pepper is strong.
Weird that "American" is not an option.
Why am I delighted by this image?
This is my emergency "brain off" switch. After watching it, I can't do wurbs any more and just happily toot and parple. www.youtube.com/watch?v=lAIG...
And once the opponent concedes, that's it, they've lost no matter how many votes they got
I stand corrected!
Is it weird that, despite all the people trying to cause grammar-induced seizures, I feel more comfortable in this thread than anywhere else in social media because people are putting exemplar terms in quotes?
And "greed" and "avarice"
And let's not forget the mythical Alot, a much-loved creature. "I like this Alot".
You're all just doing this to hurt me now.
A question mark, for a start!
And vice versa. People keep talking about Harry and Meghan "reining" over the UK, which is wrong on so many levels all at once.
Probably the most trivial of all the things listed here, but it would be constantly correcting "Step foot". "SET foot". It is "SET foot". As in, "I would not set my foot down on the floor or ground within a mile of that place". You don't "Step foot" in exactly the same way you don't "Run legs".
Everybody who tries to sell you crypto and tells you what a good investment it is, is just trying to stop the investment *they* made losing value. If investment in crypto doesn't keep growing, they lose a lot of money. That's the hallmark of a pyramid scheme.
At the moment, the planet is only killing off about one of them a year. We need to explain to her that she needs to SCALE.
When the Orcas swim into town.
And for the criminal records of domestic abuse and sexual assault among the violent members of their base.
As a green activist, I have been lobbying for small boars week for a decade or so now.
I find myself sincerely hoping that the warning on that email says "CAUTION: This email originates from a hyper-capitalist publisher that does not care about facts."
Ideally, something each :D Then we won't have to battle to the death. Well, not with each other.
Americans and... *shudder* young people.
The reward points pay for my Xbox sub. My partner insists on using Xbox and I'm unemployed, so I Bing, for my sins. I have raised a nice couple of grand for the WWFFN from the same source, though.
It was Darren Grimes.
Uhhh... what?
And when they are, run by AI as planned, nobody will be able to afford the toys they make because they won't pay anyone and will put real people out of business.
It's hard to imagine "Strength" as a Silent Hill theme, though. Actually, maybe it isn't, given what we see of Hinako. It could even be both - connecting Hinako's strength to her persistence in the face of her suffering due to others' rejection of her identity.
And many of the victims who testified described her as being worse than Epstein.
And from the looks of it, this time, the protagonist isn't the one with the sins.
I've been watching the Silent Hill f trailers, and I'm thinking: * the f stands for female * the red flowers are a reference to menstruation * the boy you see is also Hinako, Tales of the City-like I think the key metaphor in this one will be of a transboy going through female puberty. (cont)
Don't forget to dry it off under a strong ultraviolet light. Especially any rubber seals.
When's the Nintendo Special Friend showcase?

Milkshake? Oooh, better - ICE COLD milkshake
The fox, being most cunning, tricks its way into the Underworld and uses its wiles to best many obstacles. Finally, the old fox reaches THE MISSING PIECE OF THE TABLET which leaves us completely Netflixed as to how it ends.
one to go and fetch his somewhat hapless (But glorious, very powerful and sexually exalted, OK?!) son. Absolutely no-one can be bothered, until finally some old fox says it will fetch Ishkur. Not the God of Foxes, mind. Just some old fox. (cont.)
NEW STORY RELEASED AFTER 4,500 YEAR DELAY A Sumerian cuneiform tablet has recently been translated, revealing an entirely new myth. Ishkur, God of Storms, gets trapped in the Underworld, causing a great drought in the mortal realm, so his father Enlil gathers all the Gods and asks for one (cont)
I know this is a serious subject, but right now all I can think about is a football wearing lingerie.
Iβm part of a project near and dear to my heart, a documentary about Nancy Drew: her stories, games, & place in girlsβ imaginations Funding was cut by the fed, so itβs up to Kickstarter. Please, if you can - this is a special project that deserves to come out www.kickstarter.com/projects/cod...
I'm wondering where these wholesome souls were when games marketed themselves with near-nude digital women. An entirely one-sided depiction of sex. Yet now that games are including story-relevant sex scenes as mutual, consensual, pleasurable acts between adults... *now* they're outraged.
@zachweinersmith.bsky.social I would watch this as a film. Do you know anyone at Netflix? www.smbc-comics.com/comic/lesson

The Trans Pride march in London yesterday saw huge public support. Even people under pressure to not openly support LGBTQ+ causes found cunning ways to cheer the marchers along.
Would you like to feel happy for a while? Britain has a aerobatic performance troupe called the Red Arrows. But now, we also have the Red Barrows, a wheelbarrow-flying troupe, and they are awesome. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... (Have a google too, there are more videos)
I'm so terribly sorry for your loss - he was an amazing little fuzzy guy.
Nature's leaders, adventurers and risk-takers!
Ma'am, I'm afraid those pipes are lead.
The crawlspace is for the burials AFTER the murders, thank you very much! It's what you do when you need to dump a body and there's no construction site in the area.
I literally just read this. I recommend it for a pleasant afternoon's reading.
