Got a commission of Pixie done by @madyaxx.bsky.social

She did an amazing job with it!

Really have just spent the last hour and a half smitten with it!

Commissioned art of Pixie the Fairy (of Shin Megami Tensei) by @madyaxx.bsky.social

A fairy with a auburn pixie cut in a blue leotard with matching long gloves and leggings. In one pose she looks curious, the next flirty, and in the last she is laying down, looking at a tarot card.

Loki in Marvel Rivals is like Kirby or Shang Tsung.

Every single time someone new gets added, I have to learn about them.

Makes me wonder how Rogue is going to play out. Loki becomes other people, she takes powers from people. If they ever add Mystique its probably an Among Us situation.

Finished Pokemon ZA. Enjoyed it! I really liked Mable in this one so I felt like doing a painting. So here she is being(annoyed?) by some local pokemon.

if you didn't follow the VA governor race you didn't know that Earle-Sears ran like a billion anti-trans campaign ads and Spanberger didn't flinch or pull a Newsom.

going all-in against trans people is a losing move, especially when the federal government has made harming and killing us a priority.

This would be where I'd post my review of Age of Imprisonment...but you see, what had happened was www.theverge.com/entertainmen...

Review imprisoned, for now.

Well today was supposed to be the day to talk about Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment, the new hack and slash companion game to Tears of the Kingdom. However, the embargo Nintendo sent along was so...

hey if you see all the Discourse today and want to like, actually play a musou, you should do that. it's a genre more people should try, because they're really enjoyable games that balance an action power fantasy with crisis management. Most Competent Team Player Simulators.

My old Animal Crossing New Horizons save is lost, so no worries about weeds and roaches at this time.

So Nintendo also dreams up this sort of stuff.

Ripley the Hex Maniac @ripleynyx.bsky.social · 15h

This also reminds me I need to check in on my MGS Delta save to dispose of rotten food because they thought of that, too.

Started Death Stranding 2 up again the other night and chose to talk to Dollman in Sam's room.

Dollman starts talking about Halloween and the origin of the Jack o' Lantern, reminding me KP is one of the few studios out there whose games will read your system's clock and have a remark about the time

I'll get S2 carts, S2 Editions and Switch games with S2 upgrades.

But game key cards? Nope. Never.

Same goes for BDs. MS is already on my shit list for so many things, but Doom The Dark Ages is a 25mb key on a BD.

If you see a lot of political memes that have an out-of-place sepia filter, it's because the Studio Ghibli filter OpenAI added to ChatGPT was too popular and polluted their database, and will force a "nostalgic Ghibli sepia filter" onto images without asking. The recent White House Halo pic is one.

Ngl, it feels like warmed leftovers in a Simpsons skin compared to the Super, Shock n Awesome and even the Galactic Battle (Star Wars) seasons this year.

Plus it's throttling the servers and wait times for what feels like doing an OG map. The cel shading is nice, but they had that mastered already

The light brown one to right in the first image is exactly what I’m using. It can hold maybe a fourth of my Switch games.

Also finished watching Castlevania Nocturne S2. Astoundingly good stuff. These shows really make something big out of otherwise minor characters.

I can see why they skipped over Simon. No anything but him to pull from in his time, really.

Ripley the Hex Maniac @ripleynyx.bsky.social · 2d

I have this pitiful old DVD shelf that really just serves to hold games currently in rotation and the rest go in boxes. Need a better system.
