Hey, I'm Sarah. I'm an artist, 3d animator, UI/UX designer, and developer located in the American Midwest. I'm the creator of Ars Meteorica, a fantasy strategy game (demo) set in a world with anime-inspired humans and sentient theropod dinosaurs. Tech art and programming languages are my jam 🌟

A lovely little romhack has been released for Super Ghouls & Ghosts for SNES: Artoria Edition!

Adventurous maiden knight Artoria enters the fray with new ending artwork for her. The hack also fixes bugs (such as a 1UP counter resetting each stage transition).

Take that! Artoria hurles some spikey arrows in an arc at a bag carrying zombie

stuff like this is scarier to me than any modern horror game could hope to be

a screenshot of tomb raider 1, where an atlantean mummy can be seen on the other side of a sand dune, scanning the area for prey. it is noticeably much taller than lara

the same mummy, prowling on all fours. in the previous image, it was standing in a humanoid fashion but in this one its legs are disjointed into digitigrade stance

IWGB Game Workers Union @gameworkers.co.uk · 4d

This is the most ruthless act of union busting in the history of the UK games industry. Yesterday, @rockstargames.com unfairly fired over 30 employees for union activity.

We won't back down, and we're not scared - we will fight for every member to be reinstated.

Jason Schreier @jasonschreier.bsky.social · 4d

BREAKING: Yesterday Grand Theft Auto VI maker Rockstar Games fired dozens of people, all of whom were involved in union efforts. A British union calls it "blatant and ruthless" union-busting. Take-Two Interactive says it was due to misconduct.

Here's the scoop: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

‘Grand Theft Auto’ Studio Accused of Union Busting After Firings

Union says 30 and 40 people were terminated. Rockstar Games’ parent company cites ‘gross misconduct’

People are not lying about what happens when you do this. I've had five kids so far take potatoes and three take apples.

as far as the seeds go, i cant stop eating them which is a good sign, id definitely make adjustments for next time tho

the elote ones burnt a bit which gave them a vague taste of burnt popcorn, still edible but gonna rethink them

the brown sugar and cayenne ones are a clear winner, insanely good
