Never not funny

Six panels:
Panel one: a man is clutching his butthole shouting "OH GOD MY BUTTHOLE"
Panel two: the same man is clutching his butthole shouting "I'm in so much pain my butthooole!!!"
Panel three: the same man is clutching his butthole shouting "Please someone help me! Please help my butthole."
Panel four: a second man comes to help asking "oh goodness Mr, what can I do to help?!"
Panel five: butthole man pulls a gun and shoots the man trying to help "Tony Lazuto says hello"
Panel six: two onlookers. Man one: "incredible" Man two: "he's carries out 47 hits like this".

Apparently, the character is at least partially owned by the publisher of the manga. That's why he's never had a toy all these years

Legendary Dead Or Alive And Ninja Gaiden Creator Tomonobu Itagaki Has Died

Veteran video game developer Tomonobu Itagaki has passed away at the age of 58. Famous for his work on the Dead or Alive fighting game franchise and the revival of Ninja Gaiden in the 2000s, Itagaki's death was confirmed on his Facebook profile where he left a final message. "Final Words, the flame of my life is about to go out. The fact that this message has been posted means that my time has finally come. I am no longer in this world--I have entrusted someone important to me with this final message," Itagaki's post read (via Facebook translation). "My life was a continuous battle which I kept winning. I caused a lot of trouble for others too. I take pride in having fought to the end, and having followed my convictions. I have no regrets, but I am deeply sorry that I could not deliver new works to my fans. I'm sorry. So it goes."Continue Reading at GameSpot

What I'm hearing is Glen is mediocre, slow, and inefficient and needs a machine to do his job for him.

Andy Robinson @andyrobinson.bsky.social · 18h

Dead Space and Call of Duty’s Glen Schofield says he’s been experimenting with generative AI for 2 years and believes it can help ‘fix’ the games industry.

“AI isn’t here to replace us, it’s here to make us better, faster, and more efficient,” he says. “It’s a tool”.

important note from libcrusher:

Reactivating temporarily to send a warning.
Since I got doxxed, it appears the same doxxing ring has targeted several other users. I learned that they were banned this week, only for Elon to, apparently, personally unban them. I feel obliged to warn everyone about my experience.

It wasn't just my personal information that got published. Someone, somewhere, got my passwords too. For my banking accounts, brokerage accounts, venmo, etc.
Most of which had different and unique passwords. All these attempts started the day i got doxxed, and have sporadically continued since.

If you know anyone who's been doxxed by this group, you need to have them change all their passwords on every website immediately. Ensure 2FA and any other security measures are in place everywhere.
And, wherever possible, document and report it. Frankly, if you're a lefty of any note, do it now too

If anyone was also a victim of this or knows someone who was, there are ways to reach me. I wish I could go into more details right now. But until that time comes, protect yourself.

I will be deactivating in 20 minutes.
Hopefully, that's enough time for the warning to get out.

One of the recurrent themes in Greta's testimony is soldiers stripping and photographing her, sexual humiliation being an out in the open policy of the IDF for years, particularly since Oct 7th. Israel torturing and sexially assaulting a bunch of foreigners should be the biggest story in the world.

Aftonbladet's interview with Greta Thunberg is now available in English - it raises many serious questions, not least about the Swedish govt. effectively abandoning its citizens to torture because it doesn't agree with their politics. A thundering disgrace.

you are not prepared for just how fuckin miserable this game is. It's not just a bad Gears clone by Japanese devs, you do platforming and the game breaks constantly and just fucking kills you for no reason. The weird sentai girl there does a team up but she's barely in the game.

Hey ! I'm late for the #PortfolioDay but here's some arts if you still care.

A large, red and yellow robot stands on a dusty construction site. The sky is clear and blue.

On the foreground, a giant foot of a kaiju who is about to crush the viewer perspective with the text "The ultimate weapon directed by Romain Revert" on it and six festival selection laurels "Official selection B U T film festival 2025", "Official selection FilmOneFest film under 2 minutes 2025", "Official selection McMinnville Sci-Fi Film Festival 2025", "Official selection 2025 Fringe Flicks", "BEST ANIMATION - summer 2025 ALTFF - Ultra short category", "Official selection Sydney scifi festival 2025", "Official selection lift-off global network", "Nominee Best Animation film Spooly Empire horror film festival 2025" and "Official selection Skyline Scares Short Attention Span 2025". In the background, an apocalyptic setting of a destroyed city and the blurry head of the kaiju.

You are out of your mind if you think young republicans in the early aughts weren’t bigots. They were saying the n-word all the time, too, they just didn’t have group chats to get leaked.

Amanda Marcotte @amandamarcotte.bsky.social · 1d

My parents' generation was super racist, but they took pains to hide it from us. So a lot of young conservatives in the 90s and early aughts were earnest small government and/or evangelical types.

As I said, the overt racists and radicals had to form their own orgs.
