i am also neurodivergent and the concept of reading first-person narration as though it's about you is not only entirely foreign to me, but impossible for me to experience. when i read it, it feels like i'm listening to someone trying to tell me their life story at the checkout counter

Build Games Players Want To Set On Fire

for the record my stance on the matter is that art theft is bad, and art theft for profit is especially bad

Screenshot of two different users QRTing a post about Pickmon plagiarism. One is saying "we were too nice to Palworld" and the other one is saying "lmao apologies to Palworld, as it turns out there ARE further depths you can plumb"

it's honestly really funny

i like how the two sides of the pickmon discourse are more or less "this is why we should have been nicer about palworld" and "this is why we should have been meaner about palworld"

Not content to just steal from the real deal, this game is also ripping off fan designs 😬

Expedition 33 fanart of Gustave and Verso. Gustave is sat cross legged, his journal held in one hand. Verso is behind him, Gustave's other hand in his hair, holding his head close while they're softly kissing.

A pair of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33-themed gold dangle earrings. A fancy triangle with a geometric pattern goes down into two symmetrical strings of purple, silver, and black/white crackle beads, which then attach to a set of black chains. The chains then connect to round beads reading "33" with a gold clay fleur de lis shape leading down to a yellow tassel.

these might be the coolest earrings i've ever made

Comment from tartica666 on Chapter 6 of "The burdened-hearted burn of melancholia" on AO3. Most of the text is redacted for spoilers. The visible texts is as follows, with brackets indicating highlighted text: Sorry about the rant. I have many thoughts. I started reading the whole fic today and absolutely devoured, flying through the chapters in the quiet of my Sunday. [ I’m so invested I could bite my hands. I laughed, I gasped, I held my breath, literally shed tears over this story. ] And of course got very flustered during certain scenes. These two bloody idiots… we love them, but how fun it is to drag them through the worst of times. Your writing is incredible, especially so as I know co-writing is not easy. It takes great synchronicity and patience. One million Kudos to both of you. Looking forward to Act II, whenever that is.

(spoilers redacted) getting comments like these always makes my entire day. this is what every writer wants to hear. it's the ultimate compliment.

also we're this person's 33rd bookmark 🥺 it's such an honor

this is a shitpost but it's kind of true symbolically

anyway play final fantasy tactics

personally i theorize that this country's leaders are becoming lucavi in order to summon saint ajora

adventurers don't exist to perform heroic feats or save the world, they exist to wander into ancient tombs and get subjected to obscure fetishes

don’t forget to destroy your clocks tonight, walk away from your mortgage, just start driving, you’re free

kill the imposter syndrome in you head because not only is there someone out there doing it worse than you, they're also using chat gpt to do it

Anyways.

Ifrit did come to me! Thank you for stopping by @benstarr.bsky.social! Made my con!

Two sketches of a newborn Anzu, a mythological creature from Sumerian mythology that has the body of an eagle, with the front paws and head of a lion.

A character in my #scionrpg game got a baby Anzu (Sumerian mythology) so of course I had to draw the fuzzy kittenchick.

YOU ARE AN ARTIST WITH FREE WILL. YOU CAN DRAW YOUR FAVORITE THINGS. YOU ARE AN ARTIST WITH FREE WILL. YOU CAN DRAW BAD AND ITS OK. YOU ARE AN ARTIST WITH FREE WILL. YOU CAN TRY DIFFERENT MEDIUMS. YOU ARE AN ARTIST WITH FREE WILL. YOU CAN DRAW YOUR FAVES FUCKING NASTY. YOU ARE AN ARTIST WITH FREE WI

A drawing of the pokemon Togekiss, a white bird like creature, done in the style of The World Ends With You's noise creatures. It is in flight and smiling, its wings drawn tattoo-like.

What up everybody togekiss noise just dropped

v important to me that vash’s flowers look like inverted apple blossoms

I think this deserves at least as much sustained attention from US media as Claudine Gay's dissertation

Yeah... my own take on "can we develop a truly self aware machine?" is "It's unethical to try."

Pussy: Love Story from Titanic (ZX Spectrum, 2000)

the moral of the story is that we all really should have stopped all the downloadin'

man i was watching those fenslerfilm GI Joe videos before youtube even existed. i was watching them when you had to manually download them yourself

the best/only good thing to come out of those G.I. Joe PSAs were the parody videos released in the early days of YouTube

oh holy cow i'm totally going so fast AW FUCK—
