Perfect screenshot. Worf as a focal point is already killer, then your eyes travel to Data in the friar haircut and you think "this can't possibly get any better," and then there's the finishing blow of Geordi in his space visor plucking a lute

humans are fundamentally flawed beings, and we will do things or say things or just straight up act out, but like, I feel like pretending that isn't a part of our nature is turning a blind eye from humanity.
there is genuine beauty in acknowledging that we can create flaws and work on them

1. For at least 10 years, Pepsi has conspired with Walmart to force up grocery prices. That’s the shocking evidence made public today in an unsealed FTC lawsuit. The suit was abandoned in May by the Trump FTC just before it was to be un-redacted. We went to court to get it unsealed & won.

Sometimes it's weird to see folks calling therians low on resources / community / etc when this is the largest, most interconnected, most archived the community has yet been at any point in its history
Which is why it's so important to keep circulating links/projects + reaching out to others tbh

also: volcano high instantly became the target of queerphobic 4chan hate campaigns that birthed the insufferable "snoot game." when queers do their own thing, they get attacked viciously for years on end. it doesnt matter how segregated we are from the straights, bigots come knocking regardless.
"Gay people should just create their own stuff" Webfishing dev got doxxed because their game was too gay, you guys literally don't let us have anything

If you’re “anti-AI” but celebrating Clair Obscur and its awards, stop pretending.
What really burns about generative AI in games isn’t just that it replaces artists, it’s that studios still want the prestige of human art.

AI has actively made life worse for literally everyone
- tech is now more expensive
- you cannot trust most media of reality anymore
- programs barely function
- energy prices
- literal psychosis
- your voice can be literally stolen for evil
- more spyware
but hey, you can avoid paying an artist.

Throwback to when Furry Twitter was going through yet another round of “if your furry character isn’t human-like enough then it’s zoophilia”, and just when the discourse was at its peak, BG3 dropped the “you can fuck a druid in bear form” ad and brought the discourse to a hilarious screeching halt.
I am 100% pro Larian doing whatever pervert shit it wants and I can’t wait for another game where you can like, fuck a squid or whatever, but it really does further drive home the two-tier system of enforcement on storefronts. Bg3 contains basically everything small games get banned for

a nargacuga piece I made a few years ago back when I used to gradient map colors onto everything (this means the base image was painted in grayscale). There will be more monhun pieces from me in the near future

As I've suggested before, we can clear up the "is it an indie game?" debate by redefining the way we classify studios.
Solo - Run by a single person
Micro - A very small team
Small - Under 50 people
Mid-sized - Hundreds
Macro - A team of many hundreds or thousands
Much easier than debating!

running random scripts to rip out chunks of windows is a really bad idea, no matter if it's framed as debloating or removing ai
nobody making them ever knows how windows works. you will probably break your install and get issues you can't fix without a full wipe. please exercise caution
