Hello yes hi. You might remember me from other social media networks Stormo or some variant thereof.

Anyway I’m a girl now so that’s cool.

I’m currently unemployed, looking for work either writing or in customer service (but I really want to move away from that).

We can be friends if you like.

This cat looks like it’s about to start a fighting tournament to promote the strength of the Mishima Zaibatsu corporation

Tammi, yeah, that one. 2.1 @tammi.bsky.social · 1d

I found a 19th century Cat Villain!

A huge chonk of a fluffy cat sitting on a table near an open fire. The cat is cream and grey and appears to be shaped like a barrel in a fur coat. They are scowling fiercely with their moustache and bewhiskered ears apparently flowing back into the cold wind. There's a definite vibe that this villainous cat twirls their moustache as they evict orphans into the aforementioned blizzard and think Scrooge was an easy-going lightweight. They are magnificent.

His stream was how I first heard of the game. He played back videos someone had uploaded of it.

The recent development of LaserActive emulation means that the world can finally experience the majesty of I Will: The Story Of London.

This is worth it for the "acting" alone.

You... You just post the link, Stephen. Same as on Twitter, or, you know, texting it to someone. You just.... post it like anywhere else

The new trailer for THE RUNNING MAN is up. My IT guy will post it. I don't "get" posting on Bluesky. That's okay. I've seen the movie, and it's a balls-to-the-wall thrill ride. The feel is like a modern-day DIE HARD.

I love how everyone at the time was predicting that the GBA would have four face buttons.

I do love a console or handheld concept render or drawing. And these are real doozies - Pocket Gamer Magazine's musings in 2000 about what the Game Boy Advance might look like.

Definite touch of the Wonderswan about them. The handhelds of the 2000s will be shiny, rounded and vaguely bioorganic!

What will it look like? "Nintendo hasn't released the Game By Advance, but we have a few mockups of what the future may look like."

Two concept renders, the first actually not all that dissimilar to the actual GBA, just thicker and bulkier! The second veers off into curved controller land with a bright red bulky thing.

Two more renders, one chrome and the other a soft translucent(?) purple with visible stereo speakers, a large screen, and softly curved controller stylings.

Another screenie of a skater grinding along a rail alongside a street with lamposts and roof supports. A red bus can be seen at he end of the road.

25 years in, we are NOT allowing genAI music onto OC ReMix, full stop.

We're 100% against genAI music and are a community geared toward authentic creativity and artistic development. You don't get that by doing text prompts.

Recent comment: "This A.I. music is as fake as 🏈 🦇."

In this case, this is human-made. (3 of our judges panel are also involved as collaborators on it: jnWake, pixelseph, and paradiddlesjosh.)

We explicitly do NOT accept any music made with generative A.I. There are tools out there that help identify genAI music. If music involving genAI is ever unknowingly let on, it will be removed if it's discovered.

It’s such a cute little console! It even includes a little sticker printer because it was designed primarily to cash in on the Photo Club craze of the 1990s. Was also aimed at teen girls, hence the name and logo.
