Can confirm. My house panther likes to climb into the space behind my desk and turn off the power strip. Need to get one of those power strip cages…

I get my best writing done outside of the house. I miss when I had more time to do so.
I can’t wait to find out what the theme is.
Fear the Old Blood 🩸🧠👁️
Oh, so that’s why the software I use for my job is getting consistently buggier, slower, and disorganized. I knew that most recent UI change could only be conceived of by something with no concept of UX/UI.
I know in my bones that as soon as I buy a copy for PS5, it will get the Switch 2 port, and I don't get to play my PS5 often enough for that purchase to make sense to me right now.
There is a SNES Han Solo sprite on a layer of my current project to help me figure out body proportions, so I'll back this up. But I'm also an awful artist, so your words hold more weight.
I know I should be trying to sell my writing, but I'll be damned...I just want visibility. The money isn't as important to me. I mean. I like making money. Money is good for paying bills and taking my kid fun places. But my blog doesn't get a lot of readers.
Oh no. I have conceived of an article to write about the Final Fantasy series, and it would not be well received by A Certain Group of Fans Who Shall Not Be Mentioned. I wonder if any outlets would make space for it...
Dear Internet, Please let me write for you. I like writing things and a few people have let me write for them in the past. I would like to do more of that. Signed, A Sad Fool
The only thing that stands out about the pointless Trump presser toast is that JD Vance constantly looks like someone farted in his mouth.
I’ve been scrolling my feed for ten minutes trying to see if something concerning was announced (because he’s a fascist), so yeah, clearly that was a stunt to counter the weekend. What a very stupid country I live in…
I am not going to watch that…but based on the comments, maybe we’re gonna get word that he’s about to go ka-chunk in a casket.
Seriously, one of my favorites as well. I even got most of the little ships and extra weapons…and still stuck to the arwing more than anything because I was just so damned happy to play anything close to a Star Fox game.
…I’d try it. Seems like a food crime, but I’m the kinda freak who gets curious when Taco Bell puts something new on the menu.
Toss in a cartridge slot and maybe we could all bankrupt that war criminal game boy clone.
Nothing like spending $700 on a console and it can’t run an NES game.
Only a few people outside of the White House knows what kind of whackadoo shit is going on in there right now, and they’re all lining up book deals for the people on the inside so they can profit off of it in the next year.
I saw that the Daemon X Machina sequel had a demo up on the Switch 2 this morning and decided to take it for a spin. Two hours deep into it, and it seems there’s still more run time left in it. Looking forward to picking it up Friday. Cheers to @marveloususa.bsky.social for a proper cart!
Yeah, can’t argue with that. I love the series to death, but even my favorites aren’t exactly “good.”
—Bond films are at their best when they embrace their inherent campiness. —we don’t need a “Female Bond” as much as we need a Queen and Country adaptation.
I recently read an entire essay about how Bond as a character dominates women of color as a form of colonialism, so I think that the author of that piece would probably agree.
Ooooh, now that one is interesting…
Apparently there was intent to bring her back for Die Another Day, but she was already scheduled to shoot on a movie she was producing in China. That might have even saved that clusterfuck of a movie.
Yeah, I’ve read several of Ian Fleming’s Bond novels and NO. Absolutely not. Holy God, no.
I can not conceive of a guitarist who wants a pedal that requires DLC to function. Even beyond the greed of such a product, what do you do with this thing once it (inevitably) tanks and the app stops working? Nothing. You have a box that doesn’t work anymore. www.boss.info/global/produ...
I don’t have to hit play. I can already hear it.
Are vaccines safe? Let’s ask the homunculus stitched from the rejected leather gathered out of a shoe factory dumpster.
I’ll never forget when my wife bought it for me when we were living in Louisiana. I eagerly gave it a try and that game is…whoooo…it’s rough. Mind you…she bought it as a joke. Because my first name is William and we lived in Louisiana.
Yes. I adore the Saturn. Getting a modded Saturn fifteen years ago was one of the best decisions I’ve made.
The project is sully funded, but I’d love to keep spreading the word. I do have a secret cover art reveal for later in the process. Any help sharing with friends or Discord groups of retro gaming fans is appreciated!
It’s the worms lining his leathery flesh just going about their normal business. Nothing to worry about!
But was someone carrying a boombox around? Are they ensuring he doesn’t get distracted by a festive conga line?
It’ll be Dramatic Movie Trailer Ballad YMCA.
Oh of course not. It’s going to be really messy in Washington, but the changes we all want aren’t going to happen overnight. But that’s not going to stop me from having a tasty scoop of schadenfreude.
I was not expecting the pictures to end normally. I shouldn’t have looked at this at 3:30 in the morning.
Undertale
I need to stop giggling, I’m going to wake my family.
I’m sorry, but I already ate all of the chicken salad that I brought.
YES!!! That's the exact one I was thinking about. I will never forget watching that off of a worn out VHS when I was in fifth grade.
but...but...I can't go to pax...I have to work all weekend.
People saying Trump is dying or possibly dead, but I for one would urge caution, because it is quite possible a second healtbar will appear as he enters his second phase and a gargantuan centipede will burst forth from his torso, so be careful of his new sweep attacks and toxic buildup from bites.
I've been around since the D trilogy vids. Always good to see whatever you're up to.
Braver soul than I, writing in assembly. I'm a hack barely able to use GMS.
I have to believe that there was at least one conversation about Switch 2 carts.
I'm back and forth between art software and bluesky right now, trying to do some sprite drawing...this is so damn good that I'm going to struggle to keep at it. Seriously, beautiful work .
Of course. Of course. Complete with the really old making of documentaries!
I have to admit that this is optimistic thinking at this stage...but it is very easy to believe, right? The first one who'll be at bat has less charisma than a budget brand vacuum cleaner.
Listening to Marillion and trying to draw the first frame of a character sprite sheet. I'm afraid to draw the walk cycle because I am not an artist, and doing the first frame alone is gonna put me through my paces. But. Fuck it. Here we go.
Worth remembering that any time I refer to “it happening,” I’m talking about the long awaited rerelease of Hideo Kojima’s Sega CD Classic, Snatcher.
I couldn’t make that team. The Generals, maybe.
I know our problems won’t end with A Specific Funeral, but that won’t stop me from treating that event like a party.
Precisely. The mental health issue didn’t puncture the bodies with little chunks of metal, ya right wing dipshits.
Oy hell…I’m going to watch a good movie tonight to wash this shit off of my brain.
Wellllll noooooooo shit, Sherlock.
The country is so poorly run we can’t receive packages from overseas anymore, and I’m not sure it makes the top 10 of the administration’s dumbest, unforced errors
I just want to say to everyone who wants to shoot deer that I'm sorry people are killing children with your favorite collectible and it's sad that we have to take it away. If people start murdering five-year-olds with transformers or old comics I will also be sad
The question which demands an answer, even if we're not ready to hear it.
Sometimes programming means sitting in admiration as your player object just...soars 300,000 pixels outside of the playable space. Honestly, I'm still laughing about it five minutes later.
Today in "I'm full of self loathing and also exhausted," I am going to tinker around with GMS and start kicking around a 16-bit style run and gun shooter in the vein of Super Star Wars because why the fuck not. No lightsabers though.
Hmmm…interesting. I’m still cautiously optimistic about this one. I didn’t have any interest in the SH2 remake and I just kinda hated the little free thing they put out last year, but this one still has my interest.
Conspiracy? Nah. Conspiracies are about keeping secrets.
Looking over that person’s feed is perplexing. Why the fuck are people still getting their shorts twisted over being called cis?
Wife just restarted our internet router to stop Peppa Pig from playing on our television. I love her. Please don’t judge our parenting. We are very tired.
You’ve got it. There always has to be a scapegoat because addressing actual fucking problems is a bridge too far. The fact that I had my own hobbies repressed by my parents because of the dumb shit they saw on the news irritates the hell out of me to this day because they never changed.
News outlets were too busy showing clips of Doom to address the Nazi shit. God, this stupid fucking country.
Just scribbled seven pages of romantic, rebellious fluff into a notebook. Maybe some of the scene setting will make it into an actual story, but I am almost certain no one wants to read this very shallow piece of pseudo-anarchistic nonsense.
It seems you have been adopted.
Sharing this just in case @keyboardbrawl.bsky.social is still working on the system she was working a while ago…
@square-enix-games.com see what happens when the game is on the cart?
I don’t know, but it couldn’t hurt to try. (Also, insert lazy assault joke here)

Oh. I guess it’s a depression day. Great.
Not sure why I didn’t think it there would be a seven string neck on that monster.

This fucking dungeon…
No shelf space…hmmm…can’t say I’m doing the same with my game library.
Those look fantastic.
Gotta ask though…do you have a seven string?
Yes. Yes it is.
I haven’t opened the article yet, but…what the fuck is that Yoshi?! I played the SNEs version and it was just SMW Yoshi.
Vital viewing.
Paging @stopskeletons.bsky.social
$65,000 a year to have a computer that can’t spell but will instruct you on suicide “teach” your kids. Great.
I’m pretty sure that it’s because no one who cares about video games actually plays anything on Roblox because they all know that Roblox is shit marketed directly at kids and no one else. It sounds like a children’s brand, like a dollar store Lego knockoff.
All of the ones who aren’t children.
this meme made me laugh though i do not agree entirely. where are the radiator noises
Didn’t even paint over the toy gun safety cap. Bravo.

Fuuuuuuck…
Again, another long bitchy thread on my feed. Cat apology attached.
But, hey, I’ll tell you right now that I have no use for the “biggest names in music” because almost every bit of it just sounds like product. I’ll tear down a rich pop star every single day. They are not your peers. You are a walking wallet to every single one of them.
Likewise, I want to know why people actually like the art that they like. Unfortunately, most people don’t interrogate that or they can’t express it well enough for me to take anything from it. Which is disappointing, perhaps, but I shouldn’t be shocked after 22 years of being a colossal snob.
I love reading the writing of a well spoken critic. Tell me why you don’t like a thing I love. I may disagree but understanding where the art fell short for someone else helps me learn as an artist, as a human.
If I ever write about music on this feed, know it’s because I genuinely like the music or that I do not. I will not let someone’s fame drive what I say about the music. I do not agree with the whole “don’t yuck my yum” thing mentioned in the article. Challenge yourself.
