New Pinned Intro Post!
Jade's the name, Comics is the game! At least when I'm not overstressed by the state of the world, which is, heh, a lot lately! But I'm trying!
You can read my webcomic here: tapas.io/series/Psych...
Below you'll find many of my threads, including manga reviews!

The promo art I made for Psychadelta 2000, showing Rebecca, Kurt, and Bolton chilling by a oceanside.

My artwork titled Escaping the Flesh, which shows a skeleton desperately trying to pull itself out from a writhing mass of meat, muscles, and bones.

A monster I designed inspired by dead twisted trees. The head is a spiraling knot leading into a deep hole, the hand turns into a scythelike shape, the ribcage opens to look almost like a skull, and the legs are twisted vinelike tentacles. It's mostly in shadow and intricately crosshatched

ITT: people please don't do this and engage with the matter at hand, thanks. Inability to look beyond the surface level because you think it's just about what's attractive is why we are in this mess

its a little rotten of me, I admit, but I hope it lines up right before elections, so that we see the blame fall strictly on Trump

People will try to excuse/defend the chuds by saying they've just watched too much porn but I'm a dyke who watches porn all the time and don't have this problem. Chuds do this because forcing every woman into their ideal sex doll aesthetic is the power fantasy.

Gamers’ brains are so cooked dude. The woman on the right is gorgeous and beautiful. Straight gamer men literally can’t find normal women attractive anymore.

I'm just one person, and my programming needs are somewhat unusual (building various kinds of statistical forecasting models). But I'm just not seeing the consistent productivity gains from LLMs that I would have expected if you'd asked me 6 months ago.

every single tech idea is like “soon our robots will be capable of playing catch with your kid, freeing you up to spend more time working on your employers’ spreadsheets”

Hades II isnt loading, claiming i dont have a good enough graphics card even tho it was fine for using it on windows =m=

ジェイド @cosmotropic.bsky.social · 8h

okay i can admit that it is A LITTLE frustrating that getting a solid chunk of apps to work in linux even with WINE takes like a dozen steps

Well I mean, Trent Reznor did it so of course its fantastic! But like, a soundtrack alone cant carry a film, especially when it stars Jared Leto

Therese but with her natural hair colour

An artwork by Spindle of the character Therese, a trans elf woman with black hair (in this particular art, she usually has dyed cyan hair), holding it with both her hands, looking at the viewer/camera and smiling. She's wearing a yellow v-neck top with rolled up sleeves, brown belt with a gold accent, and black pants also with a golden accent

My favorite part of Tron Ares was when he said "It's Tronning time!" and then Tronned all over those guys

No rabid defender thus far, who gets into it with me on Newsom is a Californian.

Some are 'former Californians' but not a single one is a current Californian.

Because of course. So anyway listen to the people who share your ideals, who live in the damned state.

It really says something that Californians hate Newsom, but you guys don’t even know that.

Tokyo Godfathers

I'm glad people have largely rejected the idea that Hana is bad trans rep. If being clocky and flamboyant is all it takes for a character to be bad trans rep in someone's eyes, then I'd be afraid to know what they think of the trans people that describes

A scene from Tokyo Godfathers: A homeless man, woman, and child look over a crying baby.

I think people assume I have ADHD because thats like. A standard thing for creative transgender people! And admittedly my tism manifests a lot like ADHD, to the point that i was misdiagnosed as ADHD for most of my childhood

ジェイド @cosmotropic.bsky.social · 13h

i guess all this to say please stop recommending me games with fast pacing! i will never complete them!!! i dont even know that i can

a lot of people assume i have ADHD and I dont know how to explain to people that im actually the least ADHD person ever, I am 100% tism with a side order of anxiety. Fast-paced games are impossible for me, i prefer games with long slow strategic gameplay

I do appreciate all I've gotten so far, but i still need quite a bit more to afford most immigration routes! Please keep spreading this around and donating, if you can!

ジェイド @cosmotropic.bsky.social · 27d

Yep, finally doing it. Please help, any size donation you can!! And if you can't help, please share! Any share increases my chances tenfold!!! Thank you 💖 #transcrowdfund #crowdfund #emergency #GoFundMe #immigration #transrights

An image labeled "HELP A TRANS WOMAN GET TO SAFETY! again!" showing an arrow going from a burning American flag to a Canadian maple leaf, with the American flag labeled "HahaohmygodwhatisgoingonisanyonegonnnapUTTHATFIREOUTBEFOREWEALLBURNOHGODFUCKNO" and the Canadian maple leaf is labeled "Kind & Reasonable Neighbors?". There's also a drawing of me with a single tear coming from my eye, shrugging and saying "I'm in danger!" with a weak smile.
