Hey, since I got you, can I ask a question? Looking at this & playing @somethingclassic.bsky.social Quartet the other week (a new pixel art JRPG out) got me thinking.

Have y’all ever considered a built-in CRT filter to give them a full 90s experience?

bought it too! Queued it up for after I finish Xenoblade 3: Future Redeemed!

I truly wish the best of luck to you and your game!

A man in a blue polo shirt and light jeans stands against a white background. Above him is text stating, "Idk about you but I’m ready to party," with a playful acronym for "PARTY" that includes "Put on pajamas" for P and “Take a nap” for T and that’s it.

I can't stand Slop A.I., but... I'm all for #AI for actual #accessibility.

For #AltText which can be challenging for text-heavy or visually-complex images, why aren't #Mastodon & #Bluesky utilizing alt text AI tools to support users?

If it's part of your core beliefs, the tools are there, y'all.

Duckduckgo search results showing a slew of AI alt text generators.

Fuck Trump, but also... THIS should never of happened either. "Peace Prize" and "President of the USA" are opposing concepts.

This looks so good! Thinking of playing after Xenoblade 3: Future Redeemed. - 2 quick questions: How long is the game, roughly? And it's hard to tell, but are their random encounters?

Totes adorbs & whacky Scottish JRPG just dropped and it looks so good! Cairn: Mathair's Curse

Could be a nice palette cleanser after Xenoblade 3, Future Redeemed.

Finally! Some meetings! One of my favorite things in JRPGs is a good productive meeting.

My favorite thing about this ad is that there’s a bike computer literally under his nose on his handlebars.

Yet, instead of glancing down, he talks to his sunglasses.
