Idk what genre "a bunch of monsters and gothic people with super powers hang out" is but I am a big fan of it.

Despite this happening in a crowded park, I felt like I was the sole witness to this event. It happened both fast and slow at the same time. Magical.

I went to an amusement park over the weekend and I got to witness someone losing their phone on a roller coaster in real time. I just see this black dot in the distance fall from a loop as the coaster twisted upside-down and as it hit the loop beneath it I hear the faintess *ding*.

Tried mine out with Shredder's Revenge and it has such a nice arcade feel. SF6 and Granblue also felt really nice. Might be switching to it as my default stick.

All I need now is for a new Killer Instinct season. It would send me.

Between that recent patch, C. Viper's release, the newest Granblue character and Strive just being good, I'm thinking I want to pick up fighting games again.

Is there a good summary of how Dragon Ball FighterZ base systems now differ from its original release? My understanding is that with the recent patch and ones after (then) complete roster, the foundation of the game is vastly different.

I'm fully expecting the message execs get from this to just be 'people don't like Tron' instead of the combined turdstorm of Leto, Mr. Beast, Tesla and Grok in the marketing being a misstep

Not bad for my first resin prints I think. I sculpted these fellas in Nomad Sculpt, did the posing in Blender, then polished and decimated again in Nomad Sculpt. Anyone recognize them?

There's something about the original SaGa Frontier that no other SaGa game has replicated for me. I just really enjoy that selection of characters, their stories and the world you explore in it. It was also my first SaGa game so I'm sure that counts for a lot too.

I dropped SaGa Emerald Beyond and picked up Fantasian Neo Dimension instead and don't regret a thing. Still early but Fantasian has such a nice PS2 era JRPG feel that makes me nostalgic.

Thinking about how Newgrounds’ policy during this whole thing has been, “If you can give us money or you’re old enough to know what The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny is, you’re clearly 18. Now leave us alone” and it’s worked out for them.

There are steps everyone can take to help make our communities safer for trans people and all of us.

I asked Chase Strangio how to stand up for trans people. It's easier than you think. | Opinion

Trans attorney Chase Strangio has a simple message: It's time for cisgender people to stand up for transgender rights. Here's how.

The two have very different vibes. My only negative thoughts on it are the fetch quests and money grind. Gameplay, art direction, music and narrative are all superb.

CumboBreaker @cumbobreaker.bsky.social · 12d

I'm liking Silksong but can totally understand why people consider it a downgrade. Hollow Knight is a cozy game. Lots of areas that are serene and a silent protag that lets the NPCs do the talking. Much slower paced. Silksong is tense. Claustrophobic level design, constant fog of war areas.

The thing about this is, is this is how born-rich people *already* do it - whether it's making art, or starting a business, or whatever they successfully do. They already know it works.

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."

That card game rocks! It was a common pull from the shelf when friends got together for a board game night.

So what happened to that Mark Ruffalo/Wikipedia founder social media platform I heard about earlier this year? That still a thing?
