Sun is out and I'm in some sort of a flow and it's very much a basis for blasting 80's italo disco, all the way from Koto to weird Finnish Modern Talking covers. Latter should be all sorts of wrong, but somehow it slaps
the dialogue in this photo is literally beyond parody
[dying] Bruce you’re gonna be okay
I’ll avenge you dad
Don’t worry son be good for Alfred
I’m gonna dress up like a Bat, father
I … what
I’ll fight clowns for you
A lot of blood … Am I hallucinating
Instead of getting married I will practice defusing exploding mechanical penguins I love you
A "ship it" moment

I need every single male artist that follows me to read this. It's not very long. You need to bear witness to this shit. You have to see it with your own eyes because you never will in your everyday life.
I'm serious, read it all please
Did you miss the chance to play Finland's biggest larp, the scifi blockbuster Odysseus? Did you play it and want to do it again?

Additionally what so many of the "No one's talking on Bluesky" people are actually saying is "I am lost and confused when there's not an algorithm to shove content into my eyeballs with no effort on my part"
I don't think live games are the problem, honestly. I think the problem is investor and managerial insanity, where the people making those high-level decisions don't understand the business they're in and keep changing their mind about the risk profile of their business plan
IT DOES
1908: the Lancet, one of the most respected scientific journals, calls for 18 age limit on reading in bed amidst a moral panic surrounding children becoming "addicted" to novels, which were "designed to keep kids hooked" and destroy their attention/mental health
This is a bombshell: "the Pentagon wanted the company to allow for the collection and analysis of unclassified, commercial bulk data on Americans, such as geolocation and web browsing data"
This kind of agenda echoes the defunded Total Information Awareness effort, post-9/11

Hey!
Do you need a highly technical character artist with almost 15 years of individual contributor and leadership experience? Looking for someone to wrangle your shaders? Or perhaps you need a person to assemble your character art pipeline?
That's me!

Currently looking for work and projects. Give me a shout or a DM if you have a project - ttrpg, card game, etc that's in need of illustration/art/concepts.
Morning.
You can now move your Bluesky profile to EU servers under EU jurisdiction. Its the same front, but EUropean behind, where it matters.

Screenshot of a social media poll by “the-unflappablewolf” asking “Who would you trust more?” with results showing 94.7% for “total stranger in a Star Trek shirt” and 5.3% for “total stranger in a Star Wars shirt,” with over 83,000 votes.
Saying this as someone who grew up far more into Star Wars, the split on this poll is absolutely correct
a screenshot of the gamescom dev 2026 call for speakers page. It asks for LinkedIn, Bluesky, Facebook, and Instagram links for your profile. It does not have a place to put a Twitter link.
bluesky stonks - the call for speakers for Gamescom Dev asks for LinkedIn, BlueSky, Facebook, Instagram in that order. no Twitter allowed, nice.
IF THIS IS YOUR FIRST WINTER STORM, REMEMBER FOUR TIPS: 1. FILL UP YOUR TUB AND/OR POTS WITH WATER FOR YOUR TOILET. 2. DO NOT USE PROPANE HEATERS INDOORS. THE FUMES KILL. 3. EVERYONE STAYING IN ONE ROOM CONSOLIDATES WARMTH. 4. THE NORWEGIAN CAMP DIDN'T DESTROY ITSELF. ONE OF YOU IS THE THING.
Some safety tips for the big storm! Be safe, everybody.
So it didn't "generate" the fight, it generated a background/overlaid faces.
This makes sense of my experience trying to use LLMs for work. I don't want to make powerpoints, but everytime I try to get the LLM to do it for me it gives me blank slides, even when I give it outlines and reference decks
I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland.
And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.
Finish photo got that dog in it.
The photo finish camera shot is a 10/10.
