My first Campaign 4 art, and as is tradition, I came up with my own takes on the characters going mostly from the in-game descriptions & vibes during the first episode as a fun character design challenge that I do each campaign

A very large illustration of all 13 of the main cast all with their reactions to Thjazi's execution. The designs are different from the canon ones, some more than others.

Learned that I am being laid off from Heart Machine, and will be leaving the studio later this month.

Do you need a contractor? I've got a track record of leading scope-friendly script revisions late in dev. I have also done a lot of consulting on new IPs and pitches/demos. Feel free to DM me!

True story, during the Great Recession, Airbus said that to survive it needed to open some non-EU factories in places with cheap, compliant labor, no environmental restrictions, and no meaningful labor law and after a lengthy internal study the two sites they chose were Bangladesh and Alabama.

I’m sure it’s just a coincidence that all these data centers are going into communities that have been historically targeted for exploitation and have the least amount of civic power wielded by the people living there.

Why Are Plans for This Alabama Data Center So Hush-Hush?

Officials in Bessemer, Alabama, are mum on Project Marvel, a proposed data center the size of 18 Walmart Supercenters.

hades gals 💀🌸

fanart of Melinoe from Hades 2, wearing a modern outfit (dark jeans, orange top), she has a big tattoo on her right arm, and is about to tie her hair with a hair band (is this how it's called in english ?)
her eyes are closed, she has nice arm muscles and looks extremely lesbian

fanart of Nemesis from Hades 2, wearing a modern outfit (red jeans, black crop top with the Hades sigil as a pattern on it), moon shaped necklace, tattoos on her left arm and pecs, as she's about to tie her hair using a green hairband, her eyes closed
(green light on her right side cause she's standing next to Melinoe's glowing arm, off camera)

fanart of Eris, from Hades 2, she's sitting, right leg with her knee bent, in front of her
right hand on her right foot, left hand on her face, framing her left eye between two fingers
she's wearing big sneakers, micro shorts, some sort of sweater with stripes showing her shoulders
she has apple tree branch tattoos on her thigh and left shoulder

fanart of Medea from Hades 2, but wearing modern clothes (tiny leather shorts with double belt, red/purple leather crop top), a nose ring, necklaces, also big tattoo covering the entire left arm (a snake, a moon crescent, flowers and leaves)
She's sitting, resting on her left hand, her right hand next to her face, conjuring some plague magic that bathes her in green light

This is going around again and it is not true. Like every site on the internet, Bluesky uses machine learning to do a first-pass approximation of image classification to detect and label content. They have repeatedly confirmed outside services do not use Bluesky user data to train their models.

So an anime girl with prosthetics was labeled "explicit sexual content", & then we learn that prosthetics are commonly labeled this way, & then we learn that automod has been outsourced to this ai company, & THEN we learn that the ai company might be using all our images to train ai & mods go silent

The recent ICE raid which emptied an entire apartment building was apparently at the request of Wells Fargo, which is trying to foreclose on the building.

The building is in a 27 million dollar foreclosure filed by Wells Fargo. The next day, Wells Fargo filed an emergency motion for receivership. The fascist regime kindly emptied the building for donor Wells Fargo.
