It has been a, uh, difficult week but I have not laughed louder and harder at something in a very long time than at this.

If you've ever wanted to see someone doing their best to power through sheer fucking panic - here you go 😅

The drops, the missed punishes, the one-dimensional gameplan... I inwardly cringe watching this, but damn if it isn't good to have for review.

To anyone who might need to hear this right now:

Remember that even if only ONE person enjoys the content that you create—YOU ARE SUCCESSFUL.

Don't get lost in the numbers. Just create what makes you happy. Someone out there is going to LOVE what you make!

And a little is a lot if it's enough.

Also it'll be my first major. The amount of hype that's already building within me could power a home for 3 days and nights.

Just realized that, by going to ComboBreaker next year, I finally get to try a true deep dish pizza.

Registration cannot happen soon enough.

Currently, being silly online feels a lot like that scene in Titanic where the musicians were playing music as the ship sank.

Parodie du mème de la série "Invincible". En arrière-plan on voit un data center engloutir de grandes quantités de carburant et d'eau, envoyant des colonnes de fumée dans l'atmosphère. Au premier plan, Miyazaki prononce la phrase du mème original: "Look what they need to mimic just a fraction of our power", tandis que Boulet répond un peu tristement: "I still wish they'd fuck off".

heartbroken to learn the pope sympathizes with the poor. how can i continue to believe in god
The Pope tweets: "The poor are not there by chance or by blind and cruel fate. Nor, for most of them, is poverty a choice. Yet, there are those who still presume to make this claim, thus revealing their own blindness and cruelty. #DilexiTe" Someone replies: "I was so hopeful I could be a Catholic again after the disaster that Francis was, guess we just get Francis 2.0 now and I am heartbroken. How do I stay a Catholic now...I don't want to lose faith but I am. You belong to someone else, not God."

Artists, I think we totally should draw our OCs holding their chibi selves like this.
A man (Neil Newbon) holding a plush of Astarion from Baldulr's Gate III by its foot and turning it upside down. He's with as if he were picking it up with disgust.

Miary genuinely looks fun enough for me to want to throw down the money for the full season pass just so I can play her on day 1.

Went 2-2 in bracket tonight! (We're totally going to ignore that one win was a DQ and the other was against a literal 12yr old)

25 years in, we are NOT allowing genAI music onto OC ReMix, full stop.

We're 100% against genAI music and are a community geared toward authentic creativity and artistic development. You don't get that by doing text prompts.

Recent comment: "This A.I. music is as fake as 🏈 🦇." In this case, this is human-made. (3 of our judges panel are also involved as collaborators on it: jnWake, pixelseph, and paradiddlesjosh.) We explicitly do NOT accept any music made with generative A.I. There are tools out there that help identify genAI music. If music involving genAI is ever unknowingly let on, it will be removed if it's discovered. We're 100% against genAI music and are a community geared toward authentic creativity and artistic development. You don't get that by doing text prompts.

My wishlist looks like it came true.

No extra resource management ✅️
Degenerate high crush status ✅️
Movement shenanigans ✅️

And BONUS - Degenerate low crush stance.

They cooked 🙏😭
