Hades 2 is a gorgeous, fun game! Unfortunately, it has plot.

"we want horror, but completely inoffensive horror without any literal, metaphoric or allegorical violence and which categorically refuses to engage with the most common forms of human trauma and/or genre conventions. so like, maybe there's a sad dude ghost at the skate park? yeah."

I just got my payment, and all of it was stolen, I'm speechless.. We didn't have money to begin with, my wife got sick badly during past couple of months, I'm trying to work hard to sustain our living bills and food, but bad things just seem to follow me no matter what.

Ah, they are adorable!

It may be a well hidden gem, but it's always nice to meet someone who knows about it! And to rewatch it while showing someone (even though it requires a certain mood)

tench (commissions open) @tench.bsky.social · 6d

I have heard of it, but never watched it

tench (commissions open) @tench.bsky.social · 6d

You should watch it! It's gorgeous, heartbreaking, with such a unique mood! I can't praise it enough, especially the animation

tench (commissions open) @tench.bsky.social · 6d

And you haven't even seen the animation yet! I can't recommend it enough

Talking about underrated gems with great music, have you ever heard of Kaiba (2008)?

Artists! Please show:

✨ the first piece you did in 2025
✨ your favourite piece of the year
✨ your most popular piece
✨ your most recent piece (I'm in a deep burnout so if I draw, which is a big if, it's mostly work I can't show sorry)

Our electric bill was stupid expensive this last month So I'm opening up a few $50 dollar ink commission slots to help cover the end of September.

Fursonas, Horse caricatures, pet portraits or simple character busts or just a simple prompt are all welcome. DM me if you're interested.

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA

there's always a John Waters quote, it seems
