#KnoxRobbinsArt It's time for some Shovel Knight fan art! Shield Knight was there for many years in my "to draw" list and wasn't until earlier this year I found a fun, charming way to approach it.

Inspired by the Shovel Knight series, a village child dressed up in a flimsy red knight costume while lifting a barrel lid proclaims she wants to be like her hero Shield Knight.

FYI for BC residents, if you want a COVID booster/flu shot, I was able to search in my emails for a previous "Book your next vaccine appointment" from a previous year and click on the link and it just let me schedule my covid vaccine.

Canadians! The UK is attempting to push their own version of the Online Safety Act onto Canada via the bill S-209!

You need to contact your representatives in parliament and explain how this policy is catastrophically bad! Mention the discord data breach!

I saw a different, short trailer for Wonder Man yesterday and the film-within-a-film looks like it based its color tone off those gen art "screencaps" that pretended to be Wes Anderson movies.

We all knew it was never about the porn. But if your normie bros wanna keep torrenting their marble and star worms they're gonna have to actually take the gooners seriously for once.

Buried in Michigan's antiporn bill is a provision to effectively outlaw "circumvention tools," such as VPNs.

Mark my words: legislators will increasingly leverage porn panic to restrict or ban VPNs, and to limit internet privacy far beyond adult sites.

Experts raise privacy concerns over Michigan bill targeting pornography and VPNs

Rep. Josh Schriver, the bill’s sponsor, says the law is designed to target only producers and distributors of pornography, not everyday internet users.

Don't worry, American culture was also threatened by the ninja turtles based on nothing but "New is bad, old is good"

Won't be able to stream tonight, getting some sleep earlier than usual for a very early morning thing I gotta do. Stream schedule will resume next week but schedule itself is flexible around current tech situation.

I'd really encourage folks in Canada to write out their thoughts in this survey.

Most of mine were "Don't", but I really got to dial in on some.

According to the UK treasury, payment processors are in the right and the gouvernment has no plans to step in. This puts it in direct contrast to what artists and the UK games industry have asked for.

When James Baxter did a masterclass in Vancouver years ago, he teased to the audience he did something for Steven Universe. Instantly knew it was his when people were spreading the final clip online, well before James shared his pencil test.

I've done as much laptop troubleshooting as I currently have and haven't been able to find a solution to my problem. It doesn't seem to be the fault of old hardware I've been using. Everything is on hold, including art and streams, until further notice.

Had to cancel the stream, kept delaying starting the stream only to have a quietly recurring problem affect it. It's been happening since yesterday evening and hoped I settled it to at least work tonight. I'll explain more when I can.

Friendly neighbours

Digital art of original characters Aran and Tao as kids dresses up for Halloween. It’s a New York neighborhood with small old houses, a bit worn down and askew, it’s early evening and the sun is setting painting the sky in orange. Aran is dressed as Batman, in a diy costume, and Tao as a ninja turtle (diy costume). Tao is about to ring the doorbell of an old house, while Aran stopped at the side way and is letting a black cat. The house they stopped on is old and a bit worn down, with two carved out pumpkins glowing in the front yard and on the steps.
From the house window a ghost woman, glowing in green, is looking at Tao as he rings the bell. And a ghost cat glowing in green, is sitting on the ac in front of the window and looks down at Aran petting the living cat.
The street is otherwise empty and it’s a bit of a nostalgic and melancholic scene but also warm.

📣 Germany's close to reversing its opposition to mass surveillance & private message scanning, & backing the Chat Control bill. This could end private comms-& Signal-in the EU.

Time's short and they're counting on obscurity: please let German politicians know how horrifying their reversal would be.

We are alarmed by reports that Germany is on the verge of a catastrophic about-face, reversing its longstanding and principled opposition to the EU’s Chat Control proposal which, if passed, could spell the end of the right to privacy in Europe. signal.org/blog/pdfs/ge...
