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.

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

MasterCard is marketing its new MasterCard Threat Intelligence platform to issuers & acquirers. A source familiar w/ MasterCard’s internal operations told me MTI is flagging anime, VTubing, adult content, tabletop, video games as potentially “high fraud risk”

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.

Ripley the Hex Maniac @ripleynyx.bsky.social · 1d

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 · 1d

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.

Went about setting up the TV and all current hardware in the living room. It’s not really ideal, but i haven’t moved all my stuff back in, either.

Still nice to play PS5 and Switch 2 or watch movies bundled up in a coffee house sofa, though. I need serious bookshelves for all my games and books.

ATTENTION! Chris here: Down to the wire. About to lose our storage and home. If we can last a couple more months here I can move us to an apt that is far more affordable/avoid sleeping in the car. Im going to open a new digital bundle tier for $105 which gets you everything in the shop plus bonuses.

@jessiegender.bsky.social’s deep dissection of everything that was wrong with the latest season of Strange New Worlds is scathing and gets to the root of the issue. A must watch/listen. ✊

You really only see the characters move about the station or sit in the cockpit of the mech. They move like sexed up tanks. Like, there’s a real lack of care for how wooden the movement on the tutorial station is, yet you have the reflexes of a cat in these mechs.

Ripley the Hex Maniac @ripleynyx.bsky.social · 1d

On MechaBreak there was a variety of boob and butt scalers, like the sort you might see for eyebrows, eyes, noses, chins, jawlines or mouths in other games.

Except MechaBreak doesn’t care to have the scalers for any of those facial features. But you can have longer legs and decide where knees sit.

I got my hands on the PS3 versions of 2 and 3, though I understand 2 was rebuilt due to lost source code and this was back around when Konami stopped caring how things went to retail.
