'I am depleting my savings...' Do y'all understand the gravity of this? The lengths people have to go to in order to stay in business? In order to continue paying their bills? If the price is too high, move along, find it elsewhere, but don't harass the shop owners to lower their prices.

I am moving to using a US Fullfiment Centre for US customers. It will take weeks to fully implement. I am having to pay several thousands for the shipping of products to the US and the custom fees. I am depleting my savings. I am scared and stressed. I just wish people could see that I'm trying.

Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want.
To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough,
, just so
other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it.
Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.

rise of the machines

Fred Flentstone stands, hands on his hips, looking incredulously at Barney Rubble, who is at the corner of the panel barely visible. He appears to wearing tiny sunglasses.
"C'mon Barn, what's with the getup? and what is that on your head?" Fred asks.
"oh this, Fred?"
We now see Barney is also wearing a black trench coat and smoking a cigarette. A small bird is taped to the side of his head. "Just the latest in cybernetic enhancement technology- wired right into my brain."

The background dissolves and Barney stands next to a free floating diagram of a human body with several small birds going into it and says "we're entering a new age, Fred- the synthesis of man and machine as one flesh. This is the future. It's hack or be hacked."
Fred looks incredulous.

The bird pecks Barney.

Barney puts his hands on his head and screams "the machines are turning against us! We have built God only for him to destroy us!" as the bird continues to peck at him.

I'm blaming life. Life has been pretty complicated the past few years.

Due to stuff coming up for some cast members, M.O.T.H was moved from this past Thursday to next Thursday.

But that's good news for you if you're not caught up yet! Gives you time to catch up with what's happening with our handy-dandy YT playlist

I'm a realist and know my reach is fairly small, but any bit helps, whether that's with monetary donations, getting the knowledge out there, or even getting more folks involved.

Anywho, thinking of doing it possibly in November, but we'll see how I can get this pulled together.

Kareesh 🍄 @kareesh.bsky.social · 4d

Maybe some puzzle games. See if I can get some friends on stream to do some coop games...?

This would be for something that has been impacting my family very closely this year so I wanna do it justice.

Kareesh 🍄 @kareesh.bsky.social · 4d

Apparently I made a post and then never posted it. Might be why no one commented or anything. 😅

It was about me wanting to do a charity stream, possibly in November. Maybe some incentives (the poorly drawn Pokemon was pretty popular last time I did it). Not sure what else I'd stream.

Give folks their flowers

No, I mean right now. Go tell someone you loved their work right now. They're on social media just say it, it has never been easier

"They know how much people love--" no they don't go say it right now to a composer or artist or game dev or writer or anyone AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH

From bravewave.net/interviews/t...

Mo: Do you remember the first time you met someone who said they loved your work on Mega Man 2?

Tateishi: You’re the first, in 2013. No one else has.

Mo: Wow. I’m surprised. I don’t even have a follow-up question… how could no one come up and say something.

Tateishi: …

Mo: Now that you know how big Mega Man 2 is outside of Japan, do you look fondly back at the soundtrack?

Tateishi: Yeah, my thoughts have changed since I met you and became more aware of how people felt. But even when I was at Konami, I didn’t even bother telling anyone I did Mega Man 2. So the fact you came all the way to Japan to tell me these things makes me very happy I worked on the game all those years ago.

"Cats don't actually love you"

A cat is a small creature in the middle of the food chain that is fully aware that you are a very large thing that could stomp its head in at any moment and yet it chooses to rest its tiny little head on your leg for a nap and spreads out on the floor near you exposing its belly and its most sensitive organs. It brings dead mice and bugs to you to share food.

Don't you get it? This tiny thing trusts you. It wants to help you too. It licks your leg thinking that it's helping. It kneads on you to find comfort. It shares its body warmth with you in the cold and gives you your space in the heat. It hisses at other mammals it sees outside including other cats in an effort to protect its family.

Cats love you so so much. But they will keep trying to eat plastic.

Mol is Serving Up Disaster👨‍🍳 @molomoot.bsky.social · 10d

A comment on itch reminded me of this idea for creating #TTRPG dungeons I had a while back. I still think its neat and I don't think I've actually shared it here on bsky.

So bsky.. meet Crossword Dungeons!
Do a crossword, use the answers and designs as inspiration for the rooms, get creative!

a how to guide for creating crossword dungeons. Step 1 - Find and Do, do the crossword. Step 2 - See Beyond, find the inspiring words and start to see the shape. Step 3 - Extrapolate, ditch words you dont like, create walls, you contol the dungeon. Step 4 - Draw the rest of the owl (make the dungeon from the inspiration). Step 5 - BE NOT AFRAID. Its just a dungeon created from a crossword, they wont always work.
Useful tips: Metro for daily free crosswords. CrosswordSolver, for tricky clues. DungeonScrawl, for making maps. LootTheRoom - for more random ideas

Wasn't implying that they would be shielded from the attacker if they had a phone. More like I would want to hear from my child that they are safe or be able to talk them through the scary moments, if able to.

And moving from the country isn't really an option for us, at the moment.

Kareesh 🍄 @kareesh.bsky.social · 12d

Not really an option for us at this point.
