A four panel comic strip. An anthropomorphic wolf man runs into an office where three others are working at their desks. He says, "The fire marshal is coming for annual inspections!" In the next panel, a seated wolf is playing with a remote control airplane, and a smoke detector with an open battery compartment is mounted on the wall above him. The first wolf says "Put that 9 volt back in the smoke detector!" In the third panel, an anthropomorphic dog holds a power strip while standing next to a sculpture comprised of multiple power strips. The first wolf says "Hide your..."Daisy Chain Power Strip" sculpture!?" In the fourth panel, a bear proudly displays his t-shirt which reads "I love storing combustibles around radiators." The first wolf, in exasperation, yells "CHANGE YOUR SHIRT!"

The time I tried to make the audience sponsor icons jump up and down appreciatively at the end of #RAMP2025 but I forgot which axis was vertical so they all just left in disgust

feast your eyes........ you can now wear the apron i pixeled for susie in deltarune chapter 3. my very first fangamer merch contribution... And What A One !

Fangamer @fangamer.com · 11h

Our new DELTARUNE launch features everything you might need to cook for yourself and your friends: A cute bento box, a high-definition Kiss the My Ass apron, and a pair of lounge shorts decorated with little angelic Spamtons.

Available now: www.fangamer.com/collections/...

A photo of a DELTARUNE bento box with a cute illustration of Ralsei dressed up as a chef on the lid. The lid is a light orange checkerboard pattern; the box itself is a very light turquoise that's reflected on Ralsei's glasses and frying pan.

A photo of a white apron with the phrase "Kiss the My Ass" on the front in basically the same typeface used in DELTARUNE.

A closeup photo of a pair of black lounge shorts. There's a heart pattern separated by clouds; an illustration of a cherubic Spamton with wings and a halo is lying or sitting on the clouds in various poses.

went through discmaster, hope these help!

discmaster.textfiles.com/browse/109 - "1078 weird textures" probably the most 90s and bright and surreal one
discmaster.textfiles.com/browse/32427 - "texture X" these feel like very good abstract stuff, kinda metal-y and grungy

Thank you Bradly for playing🎖️🫶

The aesthetics are not aamateur however I have 170,000 hours of expertis in quake editor but I 'chalk' that up to you being newer to GTP Community 💞. Please disregard any laughing or humor whiel playing as this was due to negligent Q.A. team which I have replaced

chris brady @1600frogs.itch.io · 9d

got around to playing Ray Frank's Having Company, a quake 2 mod that I am now convinced is one of the greatest surrealist masterpieces of our time. if you like weird shit and the aesthetics of amateur fan maps, you need to try this. I can't remember the last time a game made me laugh this much.

also note the "in this video" thing which literally serves no purpose but to act as a placeholder if a video doesn't have chapters. it does nothing when you click on it

who designed this

why the fuck is everything on websites getting so big now. this is ridiculous. it's not like the important bits are bigger either, it's all pretty much the same size as it was before.

comparison between old youtube play bar and new youtube play bar, the older one is small and doesn't take up much space, the new one is large and intrusive, and also has buttons with huge amounts of padding

tweet that reads:
Lady behind me at The Thing screening last night to her partner "why are they shooting at the dog?" and her partner says very firmly "have you never seen a film before? You watch it and information is revealed"

More folks should check out The Dark Eye, an adventure game from 1995. The game uses stop motion animation to tell stories by Edgar Allen Poe and features narration by William S Burroughs. Playable in ScummVM too!

I truly think the Games Industry would be in a much better place, creatively, if everyone had more exposure to DOS Shareware games.

Denture Man title screen. It's horrifying.

Happy 31st Doom ][: Heck on Earth

Here's Doom II on the PowerVR PCX2 through the Dec 29 2000 build of Doomsday (the only GL port that would behave with the SGL MiniGL driver)

there's no flares because they're depthreads on doomsday, and pvr1 doesn't do depth buffers

This is a fantastic piece; I bounced off Hades for a couple of reasons and I think this captures one of them well.

While the 'casual, modern' tone can help it connect with people who might not be into the source material, it does lose something! It's sad so much SFF defaults to it right now.

Hades II demeans the mystery and grandeur of myth through its shallow writing and unserious tone, writes @gracemachine.bsky.social. www.endlessmode.com/video-games/...
