My new kitten keeps trying to eat thumbtacks 😬😬😬
She's yanking them out of the wall with her teeth and I have to pull them out of her mouth. She's like having a human toddler around istg

Even the thumbtacks that should absolutely be out of reach...

I don't have any retro consoles other than Wii, but I do have a Switch and NSO 😂

It's raining and today feels like a good day to play something on a retro console...

Inktober Day 14: Trunk.

This can work with yesterday's prompt too.

I wonder if mammoth trunks were also very fluffy...? Possibly?

Also, isn't it cool that a trunk acts like both an arm and a nose?
Imagine you reach out for an orange and you are smelling it at the same time. Very cool.

Inktober Day 13: Drink.

One can always melt snow for water in winter, but it makes such little water.
A trip to a frozen river or lake can yield more, but one must be careful!

This isn't the artblock most ppl think of. I'm not out of ideas. This is a sensation that even picking up the pencil/stylus is more exhausting than doing anything else. I'd rather clean the house.

I've always been like this. If I'm not in school or employed, I have very little desire to draw.

Nothing wrecks my motivation to create like being unable to go to work. Between the stress of "I'm not earning money" and just the lack of a schedule in life.

I sit down to draw and before I know it I'm playing a video game or doomscrolling. I just don't want to draw. It feels like a chore.

You know how there’s been this big push towards encouraging older people to do puzzles, cognitive games, and to learn new things to keep them from succumbing to dementia?

Wonder where that’s gonna go with the rise of “outsource your cognitive functions to AI, it’ll be convenient” culture

SteveIsDamaged @steveisdamages.bsky.social · 5d

Cognition is like strength. Use is required to not just gain, but maintain. The more thinking and cognitive work we offload, the duller we become as a result.

It's like deciding you'll use a mobility scooter without need and then figuring out a year later that you can no longer walk.

I'm woefully underexposed to Paper Mario games, however that doesn't make any of these dishes look less appealing. You have my pledge, sirs

This is 100% at the level of "Welcome to the Black Parade", with its first note, a solo G natural on a piano, being immediately recognized by most people that lived through the 2000s.

There should be a little trophy musicians get when they accomplish whatever this is 😂

There must be some kind of award you get when your song is so recognizable that people know it from the short breath you take before the song actually starts.

(I'm talking about "unravel" by TK from Ling Tosite Sigure)

Pikmin is so much a Miyamoto's Lil Brainchild thing that chances are he just wanted to make a short showing how they are invisible to the human eye or something.

It gives "Pixar short" vibes.

I genuinely do not think it was a teaser or anything like some people have been saying. I just think it was a weird one-off thing to flex their animation muscles or maybe it was a secret Illumination thing. It's 100% referencing Pikmin; the BGM contains bits of Pikmin music.

Inktober Day 7: Starfish

After having been to the beach this year, I have three notes about it:
1. The sand is hot and sticks everywhere (Anakin was right)
2. There are also a lot of seaweed, and they get tangled in your feet
3. So many collectables by the shore!!!!

i didn't filter this one bc it doesn't really have anything actually objectionable on it. It's just maybe disturbing but i don't think "mildly disturbing" is enough of a reason to label something as graphic media.
