I'm open for a variety of vector and pixel art commissions! Kamen Rider web anime renders, retro action figures and character pixels are £15 each. Transformers-style insignia (and similar) are £10 each. Emoji are £5 each (torment your friends for cheap). DM me if interested!

Thinking about how bsky has the most horrible setting turned on by default that says "i don't want to see any other languages except English" and if no one tells you to put it on "no selection" you straight up won't see posts from people set to different languages on your TL.
And if you feel like it's getting worse, yes, it is. Non US traffic here is minimal. And criticising it, you get "skill issue" or "it's not an echo chamber!"

Group of characters where each claims to be the last survivor of the same extinct extraterrestrial civilisation, insisting the others technically don't count; one's a robot created by the culture in question, one was raised in the culture but isn't the same species, one's a straight up ghost, etc.

Quality performance art. Easy to parse, thematically relevant, kinda gross. Love it.

A reminder that QBJ3 is a fully standalone free game. Also like 35+ hours long. For reference, vanilla Quake is like 7-8 hours. An all-you-can-eat buffet of concrete and rust.
It is VERY good. Even the weakest parts are still on par with your average retail Quake map. The best parts are stunning.

thanks to @ricklane.bsky.social for talking to me and other modders. sorry not-sorry for the ludicrous headline quote
btw credit to @asponge.bsky.social who coined “concrete murderzones” years ago to describe QBJ1 and it stuck in my head all these years

Quake Brutalist Jam began as a celebration of old-fashioned shooter level design, but its latest version is one step away from being a game in its own right

Speaking as someone who's worked with Capcom, stays in touch with its people, and has, shall we say, professional room to maneuver, I'll just say that contrary to what the technical director in the IGN article asserts, I know for a *fact* many Capcom employees are VEHEMENTLY against this direction.
Capcom is another studio embracing gen-ai sadly. Popular titles include: Resident Evil, Monster Hunter, Okami, Street Fighter, Ace Attorney, Devil May Cry, and Mega Man. -y

the tension between the "this is not who we are" set vs the "this is exactly who we are" set (tabling the "who do you mean we" thing for now) i do think misses out on the "who we pretend to be" angle. i do think it's probably at least somewhat bad that we've completely stopped pretending
