she might not get the chance to stretch them much anymore..

Horizon slouching up to Dad, rubbing her back and looking vexed, saying "Ugh, Dad, sorry to bother you, but that stupid spot in the middle of my back is itching..." Dad looks up from his book with a smile and a, "It's no trouble, Sunny." Below that, rendered in a lot more detail, is Horizon sitting with her wings and elytra spread so that Dad can get in for a good scratch; the focus of the rendering is on her inner wings, which are dark and spangled with little stars (which is speculation on my part, to be clear).

honestly with the way the game's humor is trending i kind of assume this is just going to be a real poster

the meme depicting tiktaalik moving from "their filthy water" to "our blessed ground" and being met with spears, captioned "STOP THEM! 'You missed your chance, pal!' If you see a Horrid Beast evolving, PUSH IT BACK IN," with the Traitorpod drawn over it looking smug.

jude showed me recently how to draw the inside of a character's face in a way that made him terrifying; the contrast between his usual appearance (kinda cute and mopey) and the way his flesh Opens made it really effective. contrast + shapes in unexpected places! not sure if helpful, but godspeed

Hey folks, I've just added Carimara: Beneath The Forlorn Limbs to my curator page, and if you missed my stream tonight, my goodness this was a delightful little game! It is what I can only describe as a whimsical folk horror detective game, check this one out.

Lineless illustration of Blank, the protagonist of the game Blanksword, a fully white character with a white shirt and black ribbon, line eyes and no mouth. Behind him there's a shadow with his same silhouette in black, placing a hand on his shoulder.

Blanksword looks extremely neat and I hope it reaches its funding goal, but if you're on the fence about backing it, or haven't heard of it before, there is a demo that you can play right now. So, why not give it a go?

before i left Hard Drive, they made us do this kind of stuff and it was a lot of me going into meetings like "uh well i guess i spent 2 hours today....thinking about Master Chief"

News: Bari Weiss just sent a memo to staffers at CBS News asking them to produce a memo explaining "how you spend your working hours—and ideally, what you've made (or are making) that you're most proud of."

One CBS News staffer puts it like this to me: "We just got Elon Musked."

much of the culture in AAA development and its indignities has been justified by a mandate of excellence; that _____ you had to suffer was the price of greatness, and maybe you just couldn't cut it.

stuff like this, combined w financial implosion from overleveraged scale, shatters that illusion

SCOOP: Last year, Ubisoft cancelled an Assassin's Creed game set during Reconstruction. Was to feature a Black Assassin who, among other things, fought the rise of the Klan

Sources: Leadership nixed it over concerns re: U.S. political climate, backlash to Yasuke

New article is live on Stop Caring

This one from @otomeniki.bsky.social, who argues that Final Fantasy Tactics memes engages audiences in a unique form of reader-response theory. Which *is* art criticism, even if it doesn't *look* like art criticism.

Give it a read and a share!

In video games, you will often find a fully roasted chicken abandoned on the ground, and eating it extremely quickly makes you feel better. What's less known is that this is also true in real life
