Last weekend was the 58th Ludum Dare, so my friend and I worked on a browser game named "Save The Ocean"!

Clean up the lagoon by picking up floating trash and dashing through other animals to free them from garbage!

Play here: linky439.itch.io/save-the-ocean

Screenshot of "Save The Ocean", a pixel art game.

It displays the player, a whale shark, in a bright blue lagoon with rocks and seaweeds. A turtle with a 6-pack holder is swimming underneath it, and a plastic bag is floating.

The heart counter is displayed as an healthbar in the top-left corner, and the trash counter is in the bottom-left one.

Screenshot of "Save The Ocean".

The inventory screen, named the "Trashadex", displaying the different types of trash already collected as well as a short description to emphasize the impact of said trash on the ocean.

So, you guys know that I'm into biology and art? So um ... Yeah. I get double frustrated when I see animals being AI misrepresented and AI abused like that

Cycle of the Stars Impa 👁️

#zelda #legendofzelda #zeldaAU #lozAU

The artist’s original design for Impa from their Legend of Zelda original story, Cycle of the Stars; laid out in a reference sheet showing the character from multiple angles as well as a breakdown of her clothing. The design depicts a tall woman of dark skin and ice white hair, with a sharp expression. She wears a sleeveless navy blue bodysuit with a high collar, and wide navy pants. A wide blue striped belt is placed over the ensemble, tied in place with a bright red strip of cloth. Red talismans hang at her waist. Over the outfit, Impa wears a red and orange cape in the rough shape of an eye, with the curved portion of the eye serving as the collar and long, triangular “eyelashes” hanging down at the back. Impa’s long hair hangs down in front of her right eye, but is tied up into a small bun in back— the left side of her head is shaved to display crimson Sheikah tattoos in the shape of an eye.

Daily bunny no.3104 does not have a map

An intrepid bunny creeps through a labyrinth or dungeon, arranged in a grid like an old videogame. There is a snake and a skull in the bunny's path, as well as a spike pit. The bunny has a small sword.

This was the 100th JER show, and it felt special being able to play songs I wrote 7000 miles a way, and a room full of people felt it and screamed my lyrics back to me

Thank you for 100 shows

Hey so about that whole elections thing and the reality that republicans are already blocking newly elected democrats from being sworn in a full year before the midterms.

The Washington Post @washingtonpost.com · 1d

Column: Democratic Rep. Adelita S. Grijalva won her special election in Arizona more than two weeks ago, but House Republicans refuse to swear her in.

She believes it has to do with her stance on the investigation into Jeffrey Epstein and her identity.

Rogatons Rediffusions - 07/03/2025 - "Politesse"
Source: www.bouletcorp.com/rogatons/202...

LES LIVRES !
Tome 01 : www.exemplaire-editions.fr/exemplaire/l...
Tome 02 : www.exemplaire-editions.fr/exemplaire/l...

Politesse.
Case 1: Boulet et Natalie enceinte marchent dans le métro. Natalie tient son ventre.
Boulet: "Bon... Le rendez-vous à la clinique est à 10H, on est dans les temps"
Natalie: "Très bien"

Case 2, Natalie passe devant Boulet qui lui tient la porte
Boulet: "Attends vas-y, je te tiens la porte"
Natalie: "Merci !"

Case 3: Boulet tient encore la porte tandis qu'il parle à Natalie. Une jeune fille tenant un carton en profite pour passer.
Boulet: "On a bien fait de partir en avance, ce sera moins le stress pour..."
La jeune fille: "Ouf ! Merci !"
Boulet: "Ha ! Euh... De rien !"

Case 4: Boulet ne parvient pas à lâcher la porte parce qu'un homme sur son portable passe en disant un vague "'rci".
Natalie: "Bon, tu viens ?"
Boulet: "Oui une minute, j'arrive !"

Boulet tient toujours la porte. Passe un vieil homme en manteau et bonnet.
Boulet: "Monsieur, je vais lâcher ! Pouvez-vous..."
Le vieux: "Merci !"
Natalie (partant): Bon, j'y vais, tu me rejoins."
Boulet: "Ha ! Oui oui ! Pardon !"

Boulet essaie d'arrêter une jeune femme qui s'est à son tour engouffrée dans le passage.
Boulet: "Madame, vous comprenez ce pacte social tacite, n'est-ce pas ? Je tiens la porte, et en échange vous la tenez pour le suiv..."
La femme: "Merci."
Boulet: "Je... Euh... De rien."

Boulet tente d'arrêter des passants, toujours coincé à tenir la porte.
Boulet: "Pardon, vous pourriez..."
Un jeune en survet': "Merci."
Boulet: "Non mais je voudrais..."
Une ado en blouson aviateur: "Merci."
Boulet: "Voilà, je..."
Un homme en costume: "Merci."

Boulet tient toujours la porte. Sa barbe a poussée. Natalie passe, un bébé dans les bras.
Natalie: "Tu ne veux pas le prendre dans tes bras ?"
Boulet: "Je... Je ne peux pas juste lâcher la porte à la gueule de quelqu'un !"
Une jeune femme qui passe à ce moment-là: "Merci !"

Boulet a maintenant une très longue barbe, un peu plus claire qu'autrefois, et de longs cheveux. Natalie est là, contrariée, dans une tenue différente, avec un petit garçon de 7 ou 8 ans.
Boulet (tenant la porte à un homme en chemisette qui passe): "Oooh ! Jean-Chad ! Comme tu as grandi ! Tu vas à l'école ?"
Jean-Chad: "Maman, c'est qui le monsieur ?"

Dernière case: Boulet est maintenant un vieillard, sa barbe blanchissante descend jusqu'à sous son nombril et il n'a presque plus de cheveux. Il tient toujours la porte et un petit jeune au look de Timothée Chalamet passe en disant "Merci."
Derrière Boulet se tient Jean-Chad, devenu adulte.
Jean-Chad: "Papa... Il faut que tu rentres à la maison... S'il te plait !"
Boulet (fulminant): "Un de ces fumiers va bien finir par tenir la porte après moi !"

I'm pretty sure this is an AI-generated logo. If you look at the other versions of it on their website, every single bird is slightly different (the feet, the head, the bag).

I mean, this sucks, no?

A screenshot of the Sackbird website that says "seek the sack" (horrible) followed by four images of a black bird with a bindle and a human arm. there are minor variations in the art - some birds have bigger heads, or more fingers, or flatter feet.
