If you browse vsthemes or deviantart long enough, you’ll see the lot of them in due time.

But my personal highlight is this one

Mouse pointer packs usually come in four flavours:

1. 1:1 recreation of the macOS or [insert Linux distro of the year] cursors
2. pointlessly rounded
3. generic anime-themed
4. absolutely silly

I feel like a broken record, but I have to keep saying it over and over again: a farmer bailout won’t do much of anything because the market is gone. There will be no incentive to plant next year.

The bailout will help payoff farmer debt to the banks. That’s all.

Fight Chat Control @fightchatcontrol.bsky.social · 2d

🇩🇪 Germany is AGAINST Chat Control:

Jens Spahn: "We as the CDU/CSU parliamentary group are against indiscriminate monitoring of chats. That would be like preemptively opening all letters to check whether there's something illegal in them. That's not acceptable, that won't happen under our watch."

Germany voices opposition to Chat Control, tilting the balance.

I imagine this was because Wrecking Crew 98 was initially a Flash-cart kiosk exclusive and the eventual cart release was very boutique.

At the same time this IS Ubisoft we’re talking about. You cannot trust that they’d handle the subject matter with any care.

Last year I preordered a set of those four-colour LED Yule Lights from Merry Co. (formerly known as Seasons Reflection) and they’re shipping this month.

They’re only offered in 110 V versions, so I need a transformer to use them.

That’s a good one

Well, image files can have metadata, just like music files can.

Steam’s on the fritz right now. I can tell because I’ve been staring at this "starting now" window for a few minutes.

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

The more worrying part of this graph is the EU market’s slight regression from 2023 to 2024.

in '91 CGW was primarily a PC/Amiga mag, but they kinda did a little bit of everything. Heck in the selfsame issue where they awarded Elvira the dubious honour of GotY, they ran a two-page spread on Phantasy Star III for the Mega Drive of all things.
