#ArtAdventCalendar Day 18. This is the one where you roll your eyes and say "Oh, look who took a single Art History course in college" but then the joke would be on you, because the reality is that I just spend too much time on Wikipedia and that's how I learned about all these things.
The book cover for “Curse of the Dragon Prophet XIV: Okay So It's like That One Movie Where All the Museum Stuff Comes to Life at Night but Instead of Like a History Museum It's a Museum of Like Modern Art and Other Really Weird Stuff You Don't Want Being Alive, and They're Stuck in It” by Needledick “Jason Mraz” Shitters. In the foreground, the protagonist looks behind with their usual shocked face. A purple owl with a similar shocked face is on their shoulder. Behind them is an anarchist librarian or something looking pensive. Behind them both are several art pieces coming to life. A painting of various colored rectangles has rectangles piercing out of the frame like knives, barely missing a shocked man, who is wearing a hat labeled "Brad" and holding a can of Campbell's soup. Above him is another purple owl, flying and carrying a large bag labeled "Bird Weed." Behind them is another painting, which a strange misshapen humanoid form is walking out of. Behind this, Marcel Duchamp's Fountain - a urinal - runs around with legs. Behind this, water pours out of a painting's frame, and the girl from Roy Liechtenstein's painting Drowning Girl is, understandably, drowning. In the background another cubist portrait comes to life, and on the ground is one of the melting clocks from Salvador Dalí's The Persistence of Memory, slithering towards the protagonists.

#ArtAdventCalendar Day 16. If every image had this much stuff in it, I'd be a bit more hesitant to keep the "require alt text for all images" feature on. But it's the right thing to do! And also fun fact for you the person reading this: that's a feature you can enable! In Bluesky settings! Do it!
The book cover for “Curse of the Dragon Prophet XXIV: That's It, I Give Up. I Haven't Written a Good Book in This Series in at Least Half a Decade. I'm Handing These Characters over to the Fandom. I Don't Care. Go Nuts, You Nerds. Thanks for All the Money.” by Needledick "Jason Mraz" Shitters. The cover depicts a grassy hill with a golden path leading back into the horizon, where a mountain range is visible. A blue and green Captain Planet-like giant peeks out from the mountains. From back to front, the following other things are on the path: A robed cultist with Bart Simpson's hair smirking and flipping off the reader. An orange man with horns and a fox tail shrugging and smirking like a smug stand-up comedian. A fan taking a selfie with a fire spirit. Needledick Shitters sitting on the ground, sadly looking at a manuscript. Another cultist with a Bart Simpson face. A priest nervously gives a thumbs up to a fan showing him a book labeled "Sexy Fanfic of Sex." The Dragon Prophet, very unamused, looking at a fan in a Dragon Prophet costume. Another cultist, looking at the protagonist. The Nostalgia Critic arguing with a fan, who is holding a Dragon Prophet figurine in one hand and a book in the other. A character from one of the older books, a woman with red and green earrings and a blue necklace, looking sadly down at a "worst character" ribbon draped around her. Another character from one of the older books, a witch with skeleton earrings, a curved dagger, and crocs, looking up uncomfortably at a "most shippable" crown on her head. An imp looking scared. The protagonist making their usual shocked face, wearing a shirt that depicts a crossed out cup of tea and the text “banned tea”, holding a bag labeled “Tired Jokes.” A pizza slice with arms and legs. A cultist with a Homer Simpson face looking at a fan, who is nervously reading this book.

The pause menu: gateway to a world of even more submenus. Sometimes a player just needs to learn about the people of the world, build up their farmland, or sort their favorite items for easy access in battle, and Uprooted has the menus you need!

#screenshotSaturday #godotEngine #gamedev #indieGames
The "Your Community" menu. It shows that the player has met 31% of the people in San Ambrosio, including Rodeo the fisherman, Tanner the car enthusiast, and Velthur the pharmacist, who is currently selected. The description text reads: "Velthur is a mysterious man who occasionally mentions his life in the old country, but no one can seem to figure out where that is. Sometimes he says things that make it seem like he's a lot older than he looks..." Below that an info box reads: "I promised to meet Velthur at the Haunted House at the County Fair to help him get his parasol back." The "Your Farm" menu, depicting the player's field, which includes a ripe corn plant and a mushroom log, which is highlighted. The description reads "You can plant Mushroom Spores on this Fixture, giving you access to a constantly regrowing crop that never rots!" The "Your Inventory" menu, currently showing combat items. Currently selected is the Stake, which has this description: Places a stake on the soil beneath you. Stakes can provide support to certain crops, making them much stronger and more weather-resistant than they otherwise would be. A submenu is open to allow the player to sort their inventory by name, price, amount, or a custom sorting.

Most of the game works fine with the maximum supported font size, but a few of the more compact menus needed some changes to fit everything and still look good. Fortunately, with my in-progress Godot Accessibility Suite, it's very easy to handle that!

🌱🌾🌍🌺🍄🌳🌲🐝 Ginkgo (maidenhair tree, Ginkgo biloba) from East Asia. Last living member of a plant order that evolved over 290 million years ago. Humans have cultivated it for centuries. Attractive fan-shaped leaves, bright yellow in autumn before fall off. ##BUC2026
Pictures fan-shaped green leaves, yellow fruit-like seeds, look like yellow cherries (actually sarcotesta). Also of hard inner cream-coloured sarcotesta protecting seed inside.

Nobody will question how black people are often hyper-masculinized in general, but especially actively seen as aggressive and traits associated with is again associated with masculinity in our society, and how that bias 1000% is why nobody ever will assume a black person is non-binary

The person was nice, didn’t misgender me after and apologized. Didn’t make a big deal. That’s such. But I still know there’s nothing I can really do that won’t make people clock me as anything but a man cause non-binary is reserved for androgynous white people in most peoples eyes

hey i don’t usually make posts like these but i see a certain comic artist has made their way here, you might know him from his “daily life of a gay couple” comics, but he made this horribly transphobic comic and threw a temper tantrum when people called him out for it a while back, so look out

#OnlyMurdersInTheBuilding is such a fun show. The end when her hand passed the gate. The writing is hilarious.

Don't ask me how but I got an image of the people who did the heist at the Louvre.
Characters from the anime, Lupin The Third. The center is Lupin sitting in a chair. Standing on one side of the chair is Jigen. The other side is Fujiko. Goemon is on one knee in front of Fujiko.

Windows 10 goes out of support today. My fave useless fact about w10 is that the iconic blue desktop background is a *photograph* - not CGI.

Tiny 'making of' vid here - youtu.be/_2RacX9DgWM...
Three images showing photographers in a studio, standing around a black curtained area with a projector and a 'Windows' logo etched onto a glass pane. The lower image shows a version of the iconic blue windows background, with blue lasers outlining and passing through an angled Windows logos against a dark background.
