A portrait photo of Emma. Emma is white, with cropped hair that's split-dyed down the middle, one half their natural brown and the other bleach blonde. They wear a crochet brown-and-white striped beanie hat decorated with small black devil horns and various colourful trinkets. They wear round glasses with clear frames. They're also wearing make-up: a peachy blush placed around the temples, and multiple tiny black and white dots placed in loosely geometric patterns around the eyes. Across the bridge of their nose is a spattering of fake freckles, and on the tip of their nose is a small white heart. They wear a maroon lipstick on their top lip. They have multiple facial piercings, and are wearing several rings and necklaces. They have on a pair of blue pinstripe dungarees over a black t-shirt. Drawn on the photo is a speech bubble which reads 'HI!', decorated with sparkles.

Hot take: we should be calling them friendjank games rather than friendslop.

been watching a shocking amount of House MD lately, so here is a Greg
Digital art of Gregory House from the TV show House MD. House, a white man with bright blue eyes stares up at the viewer. He has short greying hair, beard, and moustache. He wears a grey suit jacket over a blue shirt. He holds a cane in his right hand. His expression is stern and intense. He stands against a plain green background.

The IWGB has just announced that 220 letters, signed by Rockstar staff, have now been delivered to leadership at the company, demanding the immediate reinstatement of their fired colleagues.
A demonstration for the fired Rockstar employees held in Edinburgh last week outside the front entrance of Rockstar North.

his toaster was so gross i couldn't stand to use it without cleaning it first

nothing to add, really, just an important watch

whatever happens next will have lasting repercussions both in and outside of the UK games industry

my thoughts are with those affected 🫂❤️

from a product perspective, we were all opted in to beta test AI without being asked

if i should distrust and double-check the information an AI service gives me, the service is not market ready

when was the last time the WORLD was forcefully opted-in to test a broken product for a megacorporation

At the bottom, circled in red, it reads 'AI responses may include mistakes.'. A thumbs up and thumbs down prompt the user to give feedback on the response.

i believe in magic, insofar as i believe it can be helpful to find direction and calm in ritual, intention setting, and guidance, even if it comes from a card pulled by chance

however, i did a tarot reading last night and it was so specifically geared to my situation that maybe magic is real????

i'm still thinking about Interview With the Vampire but now i'm simply distraught about Claudia
Digital art of Claudia from the book 'Interview With the Vampire'. A young girl peers to her right, our left, to sniff a white flower. She has long blonde hair with a deep red hair band. She wears a regency-style dress, which is predominantly dark blue, but is decorated with deep red accents: a zig-zag pattern decorates an overskirt. White lace peeks from her sleeve. She has a demure expression.

Australia has so much electricity from solar power that it is going to start offering free electricity to everyone for at least three hours during the day as the wholesale price of power goes negative

Australia has so much solar that it's offering everyone free electricity
Australia's extensive solar power penetration makes so much energy that the government wants to offer free electricity at peak hours.

every day my desire to learn to code becomes stronger, purely so i can make my own project management SaaS app for marketing

so many apps come SO close, but end up missing the mark - especially for marketing - because they want to be everything to everyone

i finally did it

i finally reached peak anxiety and invented enough pretend problems that the most effective, kindest, truest advice my partner could give me was: 'i really just think you need to chill out'

i've not felt better in months 💆✌️ remember kids: sometimes it really do not be that serious

i learned crochet for fun, but also because i loved the idea of making crocheted gifts

well, i think i crocheted too close to the sun because i have at least four crochet gifts i need to make between now and christmas, and one of them will be the hardest pattern i've attempted yet 🧶

if you are a dentist who hasn't worked on someone with oral piercings before, may i suggest: ask your patient if there's anything you should be careful of

ideally before shoving a lip guard in their mouth, catching their piercing, and declaring 'i've never worked on someone with a piercing before!'

lately i am feeling a bit exhausted and overwhelmed so i am trying to find time for relaxing hobbies like reading and drawing

i am currently reading 'Interview With the Vampire' and my artistic takeaways so far are mmmm sexy sexy vampire

happy halloween 🎃 🧛🏻‍♀️
Digital art. Two women stand against a light pink background in states of undress. The woman on the right stands tall and naked. She has long light-coloured hair, and stares at the viewer, head tilted, with a seductive expression. A line of blood runs from her pouted, fanged mouth, and drips down one breast. The woman on the left leans forward, a glazed expression on her face. She has a dark-coloured scruffy bob hairstyle, and wears an oversized t-shirt which has fallen to one side, revealing two bleeding vampire bites on her neck and her mid-chest. The naked woman's hand rests on her head possessively. The image is drawn with simple geometric black shapes and lines, and is shaded with a pale pink.

please feel sympathy for Coots, my cat, who desperately wants to sit next to me but has to deal with my panoply of conflicting scents

today i am an olfactory melange of mint deodorant, a fir needle-forward perfume, and the menthol / cinnamon punch of tiger balm for my chronic pain

she's not happy
A photo of a grey cat with black and white markings, pale green eyes, and a pink nose. Her face is quirked, with one eye slightly squinted, as if smelling something unpleasant.

nostalgic for my art journey... images are from 2018, 2021, 2023, and 2024, each representing different styles i've used

i used to feel driven to 'have a style'. the advice is: 'it comes with practise'. i wonder if others see an artistic through-line in these pieces that i don't!!

however...
Digital art drawn by Emma from 2018. A pale white woman lays on her back, peering up at the viewer through forest green eyes with a sultry expression. Her black hair with a blunt cut fringe billows around her. Her dangling silver earrings sparkle. Her lips are painted a strong red. The lines and colouring of the drawing are very clean, and it has a 90s anime vibe. Digital art drawn by Emma from 2022. A young masculine-presenting half-elf lays on his side in a dreamlike state. A blanket wraps around their torso and over their head. The person gazes off-screen with a sad, worried expression. One arm arcs over their head, fingers stiffened into a claw, while the other rests lightly by his side. The image is coloured with soft washes of purple in shadowed areas, and is lit by plain white. The linework is calligraphy-like. Digital art drawn by Emma from 2023. A scruffy image drawn in MS Paint. A brown-skinned woman holds a strange glowing animal mask over her face. The animal looks like a lion / deer hybrid, with twisted bone antlers entwining with the woman's shining red hair to the left and right of her head. Her hands and fingers are held at odd angles. Objectively, the anatomy of the images is odd and hard to read, but not 'bad'. It feels intentionally scruffy. Digital art drawn by Emma from 2024. Pixel art. Emma, a white person with messy brown / white split-dyed hair, lays on their front in bed, looking at the viewer. A blanket covers them up to their waist, and they appear to be naked above that point. Their arm hangs off the bed. They appear to be in a bedroom, rendered in blue versus the yellow and red tones of Emma and their bed.

anyone had issues with their PC blue-screening unless it's power cycled before turning on?

unplugged my PC recently, and since plugging it back in, i have to power cycle it before booting or it gets stuck in an 'attempting to repair' loop

no idea where to start apart from reinstalling my drivers 😰
