I may complain a lot about social media and the internet, but sometimes I'll see a post like this. This is a beautiful example of an art form that I'd never even heard of until I read this post. I feel thankful for having access to the works of all these talented people!
'In the winter garden' - my favourite geometric garden aerial that I've ever done! I don't remember if I shared it here or not yet - it has camellia bushes in the centre and beds of winter heather and hellebore :) the geometric landscapes are always more challenging and I love that! #embroidery

Since we're all talking about Paul Dano, and for good reason, he's brilliant, take a look at what I consider to be one of the best scenes in any biopic, of Brian Wilson slowly devising Good Vibrations, in "Love and Mercy" from 2014.

Given everyone seems to be talking about Half Life 3 again, as if everyone was suddenly possessed by their 2009 selves, please enjoy this sentence I found on the "Half Life 3" page from the Half Life fandom wiki.

Skeletal Shenanigans are abound for Bone Lord Zarthrax!

While he spent his younger years battling the forces of good on Saturday Mornings on TV across the United States, The Bone Lord has now settled down to a more domestic life. Can he persevere through the challenges he faces in the modern world?

I have three types of TTRPG characters:

1. Human exhausted by all the lunatics surrounding them.
2. "I have magical powers, but I hate them and I want to get rid of them."
3. BEEP BOOP RO-BOT.
I have three types of ttrpg characters:

• cheerful trans girl with ✨trauma✨
• sardonic sword lesbian who will fuck you up
• snarky, sweet, and sneak attacks
I have three types of ttrpg characters:

* Little guy with anger issues.

This dog was spotted politely waiting by a pizza truck. He doesn’t have to say what he wants. They already know his order. It is pizza. 13/10 (IG: lauren.bardini)

Day 1 - My first video game!

Bit of a tricky one this! My go-to answers are Bubble Trouble/Bubble Struggle, Super Mario Land 2, and the demo of Pinball that came in built into Windows XP. There might be others too, Pac Man and Space Invaders and stuff, but these are my definitive "first games"!
Wanted to share this. Something fun from Bluesky last year that me and my friends have made a yearly little event we do. Share with your friends or do it here, it's lots of fun!

For those of you who like both Christmas and music from video games, please enjoy this playlist of some of my favourite festive, Christmassy, or just wintery pieces of music from a variety of different games.

December is rapidly approaching, and I hope we all have a great season of goodwill gaming!

Was messaging with some friends about this earlier. To get Google to a usable state, I have had to download so many extensions to remove the AI summary, change how top results are chosen, blocks ads, and block adblocker blockers.

Google used to be so useful, without extensions it's just a pain!
Google at its peak was basically the best information retrieval system in human history and they and every competitor decided going from there to “you didn’t want answers you wanted half-assed auto-complete 80%-wrong hallucinations” in a few years was the right idea

Not only do many of the hats in Learn To Fly 3 directly use graphics stolen from Club Penguin, but, by decompiling the .SWF file, you can see that it also contains graphics from Hedgehog Launch, which is by totally different people.

i was going through my X archives and found this by @superpodsaga.com, which I qrt'd at some point years ago

so, let me bring the question back: what is the most useless piece of video game knowledge you know?

So, I've just finished the new OVER FOUR HOUR @defunctland.bsky.social video.

This is genuinely one of the best things I've ever seen. Not even just YouTube videos, like... things I've watched in general.
