Hey everyone, we have some big news to share!

LACKADAISY - Last Call

A preview of Lackadaisy Season One - the Speakeasy is in its prime as Mitzi and the band regale the crowd with an original musical number, Last Call. This seemed like the ideal way to announce that Lackadaisy is now officially a ‪Glitch‬ Production!!

Glad to get the thumbs up on the Visual Novel!
I also wanna figure out if modern systems could run Tron 2.0, the shooter and the Tron game that released with Legacy as a prequel.

There's two recent games, Catalyst and Identity, haven't had the time to check them out but it's something Mr. Method Acting Paptimus Sciroco from Zeta Gundam 24/7 isn't in that's Tron related. Under 40 bucks on steam in a bundle

Like how much do people need to hate a guy and his projects need to flop before his equally creepy exec friends stop protecting him? Its really telling how much execs reward sex pests.

god something funny about being formerly into Christian theology and like training to be a pastor was that like there's stuff that my church believed that is just...not supported at all? My favorite being the Devil as some Archrival Evil. He's a disgraced functionary. He does stuff cause god says

Watched Godzilla (1954). I really liked the special effects, the cuts between the models/suits and live action was really cleverly done. I once read that Japanese scifi/monster fiction has a unique flavor due to experience being the "losers" - it listed Gundam as an example - anyway, Godzilla fits.

Pike, Tiny Comet Fairy ☄️🍩 @redcomets.net · Aug 31

Watched Godzilla Minus One. My favorite part is that Douglas MacArthur knew about the existence of Godzilla but was too busy with Stalin to deal with it. Funniest alternate history AU

Just finished listening to NIN's new Album through the Concept movie Tron Ares, bootleg of it that is, here's a report on Tron Legacy ties:
-Intro sequence says Sam fucked off
-Ending sequel tease with a photo of Quora.
Glad we got that roguelite.

The final breaking point amidst all the other shit, was after listing all the hurtful shit they had said to me in an email exchange back to them as 'things you have said and not retracted', their response was 'these are all the things we did for you, and all the things you did, so you'll forgive us'

One of the things that strikes me on visiting the US is how antiquated the banking is, in a lot of ways. No, I don’t have a Venmo, if I want to transfer money to someone electronically I use my banking app. I have no idea when I last used my cheque book. Why are you taking my card? I need to sign!?

Matt Steinglass @mattsteinglass.bsky.social · 16h

“Much of what we think of as innovation in the US is just private duct tape applied to the country’s uniquely bad payments system. Stablecoins, for example, offer a way to transfer something like a dollar from one place to another, without a bank.” Great stuff from @bhgreeley.bsky.social

As many of you know, I work in tech for my day job.

All I can say is that I've seen so many folks in that field (via dev conferences, mostly), who are so cooked, so completely reliant on the slop generators that shit's going to get weird when everything starts tumbling down.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

Incredibly charmed people were doing this nearly 100 years ago but I've also gotten this occassionally on my art and stories and it makes my day every time. Incredibly silly but the raw earnestness of it... one of the best compliments one can recieve imo

I've noticed the opposing team's fans only cheer when the opponents score on us. To win those fans over, I recommend we score on ourselves repeatedly; that will surely make them so happy they'll start supporting us. And I'm sure all our fans will keep cheering for us—who else is there to cheer for?
