This is huge news!
UBC has developed an enzyme that can convert donor organs to type O, making them universal.
Normally a using organs of the wrong blood type causes the recipient's immune system to attack the organ, leading to failure.

While I am a little sad, no crunch is always a good thing, and I do appreciate that we'll be getting more updates about the game in the mean time! Plus the interactive map is pretty sick.

I made this background as a gift for somebody. It's a tropical sunset galaxy! Inspired by Mario Galaxy of course. Drawn entirely with MSPaint.

#SuperMarioGalaxy #wallpaper

A drawing of a whimsical space scene. A beach planet is lit by a galactic sunset on a large ocean planet. The beach planet features a palm tree, a cabana, and shallow water. The ocean planet has clouds and sparkling city lights. In front of the ocean planet is a small island planet. The island planet features a dome of water full of coral and fish, with a ring of lumpy rocks around the base and a small island on top. Two shooting stars zoom by.

Out today on Steam, Undusted: Letters from the Past is a game about cleaning long-neglected objects and learning their backstories. "As each object is restored to its pristine condition, the items start whispering memories of the past to her."

Similar to my post about "liberation means even for that annoying guy you hate" - weird art includes art you personally don't get, don't like, wouldn't spend money on, find unsettling. Games you wouldn't play. Books you wouldn't read. Decommercialise your preconceptions of what art deserves to exist

shaydh 🩸FLEDGLING MANOR OUT NOW🩸 @shaydh.bsky.social · Jan 16

Everyone saying "make weird art!" you better fucking mean it. There better not be an unspoken "but not too weird" tacked on at the end.

TW: Suicide mention

A friend of mine has passed away late June due to taking his own life. Some of you have known him as Birdthings, Kota Firegrave in Second Life, and Siv. He was a good friend and a very passionate person.

I want him to have a good memorial and funeral.

Kota was my friend... I regret so much not talking to him more when he was still here. I don't want him to feel forgotten.

It's too late for me to tell him sorry... But I want him and everyone to know that I'll never forget him...

Thank you deeply to anyone who can help chip in for his memory...

I'm just thinking about how Mamdani talks (and defends) trans people for two minutes more than the democrats did at the last convention. And the video is only two minutes and five seconds long.
