Okay, it's time. I have a prized Cult of the dead cow Zippo lighter. These simply do not exist anywhere. But a CDC member is hurting and I want to encourage donations to the GoFundMe, so out it goes. Details in thread.

aand DONE!
submitted to the game jam with 34 minutes to spare 🤣

somehow I ended up with an Escher-inspired Tortoise & the Hare situation

185/192 unique 8x8 tiles! 🎉
tjtrewin.itch.io/gb-pixel-art...

I'll write up my process in a bit :D

#PixelArt #1Bit #Aseprite #GBPixelArtJam #MCEscher

1-Bit pixel art in black and white - a scene inspired by tiling animal patterns of M.C. Escher. Smug tortoise tiles intersect seamlessly with panic faced Hares between - with some blank patches for visual balance. A border adorns the image, coming from a battery icon in the top right. The tortoise tile in the bottom right has its front legs poking out over the border.

Log Horizon.

I’ve never seen any fiction capture the vibes of what it was like to be part of a guild in an MMO in the 00s.

Then it takes a hard turn into fantasy economics.

Here's a chonky little Star Trek kitbash. Cherokee class tug, c. 2270s Starfleet logistics division. Constitution surplus parts put to good use. Oversized reactors, extra warp nacelle, extra strong shields and tractor beams, but no weapons and science to speak of. Currently printing.

Someone needs to start collecting cassette copies of In Got We Trust, Inc and see what people taped over the B Side.

I've said this for years but I've not got the means to do so

If you were thinking about resubscribing to any Disney shows, I have a better idea: don't.

Unrelatedly, my fav bittorrent client is www.qbittorrent.org It supports forcing connections only through VPN interfaces. And, if new to you, TorrentFreak.com is still the best #bittorrent news source online!

@mjgault.bsky.social was interviewing a ABC correspondent about new podcast on the murder of US solder Vanessa Guillén. When brought up Hesgeth's recent speech, ABC PR interrupted, asked not to talk about that. Then asked Matthew to cut that part. Wild, wild stuff

Jane Goodall came to our school when I was a kid. That whole week beforehand, all the teachers and faculty were freaking out and repeatedly telling us we had to be on our BEST behavior. This wasn’t some assembly about the importance of recycling, this was THE JANE GOODALL, who none of us knew.

Shock #megademo on SAM Coupé 🌈 🔊

The famous Spectrum demo (and aforementioned favourite of Quazar!) here making use of Ed Brindley's AY-3-8910/YM2149 interface card for RC2014 via @samcoupe.com bus adaptor.

Chuntey decoherence in the rasterbars is due to it being timed for the Spectrum, natch.
