If anyone wants some fleshed out references and details of my characters designs, this is the thread of links to their respective folders!

I'm still messing around with these folders as we speak, but I have comments on in case you're looking for something specific

So this may be really dumb but I honestly want to understand why people lose their minds over drag performances because I just don't get it and it makes me feel like some performative queer supporter

When you're at a social gathering and you know your social battery ran out but it's not even close to time to go is the worrrrrst

Shana in a way loves the world, she just despises a lot of people living in it who make it worse.

Adrian doesn't like it, but she's a jaded survival brained nihilist

Blake does (because she's privileged and has no real reason to dislike it), but she's way more enraptured by what lies beyond

Does your OC like the world they're living in?

Dude can't find work so he's making work for himself.

In a way I kinda admire the dedication to refuse to fuck off

It kills me people try to defend Biden still. Him sternly wagging his finger at everything and going "c'mon guys, I know y'all attempted a coup but we gotta work together" is how we got in this fucking mess

Some days I really want to get a Retroid Pocket but I don't think I need another portable console I'll use sometimes

Dead Game Connoisseur @austonishing1.bsky.social · 1d

It's actually crazy that Capcom dropped a character like G out of nowhere, retroactively made him the "Final Boss" of Street Fighter 5, and have done zero elaboration on him since then

I've learned to just do B first because eventually urgency or frustration will kick in to make you do A, whereas if you don't do B when you want to you will just lose that motivation

Even when I was a big fanboy of the franchise it felt like it was just good not great, and I couldn't tell you what it was missing to get it there.

Most assuredly Jared Leto is not that

mtsw @mtsw.bsky.social · 2d

Pretty confused by how TRON became a big-budget movie franchise. Was it a bit hit when it came out? No. Did it become a big hit on video/TV? Also no. Do people have fond nostalgic memories of it? Eh kinda but not really. Was it secretly great and critically acclaimed? No again

I hate that making movesets for my characters became significantly easier when I switched from fighting game oriented to beat em up oriented but with Blake it instead became significantly harder

Because it feels relevant as we continue to evaluate the media and our representatives’ statements, my favorite way to identify the active vs. passive voice.

A post by Rebecca Johnson:
“I finally learned how to teach my guys to ID the passive voice. If you can insert "by zombies" after the verb, you have passive voice.”

A tumblr respond from mightymur:
“The final, brilliant word on passive voice.
"She was killed [by zombies.]"<--passive
"Zombies killed [by zombies] her." <-- active”

Look at what we could have. look at what our tax dollars could pay for. Instead we’re paying to have ICE pepper spray directly into the air hole of a guy in an inflatable frog costume

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

I shouldn't have to download a system update on a flash drive just to start up a GAME on a GAMING CONSOLE that's 600 fucking dollars

Video game consoles should be accessible for the tech illiterate if I need to do a bunch of bullshit just to access the basic function of the system you failed

Dead Game Connoisseur @austonishing1.bsky.social · 4d

Got a PS5 for work. Turns out, you have to REGISTER THE DISC DRIVE for it to work. Can't connect to the internet to update the console to register the disc drive because the PS5 doesn't like the wi-fi security.

If I have the discs and a disc drive I should be able to just pop a fucking game in
