"Her Days of Silence Are Be-Hynde Her"
News so big an artwork was needed to celebrate it. As of last night, the tomboy leporine #MargoHynde officially has a voice actress. You will hear her speak for the first time in my Arcade-ological Discoveries video on 'Roll Away'… #OTOG

"Nightfall at Castle Rock"
I did not want to make this artwork. Not so soon. But here’s my tribute to Rob Reiner, director of some of the most beloved films of the 1980s and early 1990s. #Artwork #Tribute #RIPRobReiner

This… doesn’t… feel… right. This will never feel right. Murdered by his own son. 🤢🤮😭
Rest in peace, Mr. Reiner, and thank you for your contributions to cinema. You and your wife deserved so much better than to have been taken out in such a horrifying manner. 😢

Started up a new #Nuzlocke of FireRed today; playing by Hardcore rules. Here's the state of the team as of arrival in Cerulean City, starting with those present for the Brock fight. They were all at or below the level cap for said fight.

Unfortunately, I do think Walt Disney would support AI, at least when it came to his own likeness. The guy was all about the future, and if he could fathom a CGI double of himself speaking in his synthesized voice, he’d want to use one.
Doesn’t make it right though.

Captain Qwark has always been one of my favorite parts of the Ratchet and Clank games. Jim Ward was the perfect actor to bring him to life.
Rest in peace, captain. You truly were qwarktastic. 😢 #RIPJimWard

Your Cherokee words for today.
The top word is English followed by how it is written in the Cherokee language followed by how it is spelled in English then how to pronounce it phonetically.
In Cherokee belief, Raccoon was once snow white with soft fur all over, until he tried to steal the first

Reminder, gamers: it’s genAI specifically you’re against. Every video game that ever has or will exist uses AI.
Well, technically, every video game company uses AI. They have to. What did you think was controlling the behavior of NPCs?
The generative* (*regurgitative) variety of AI, however, is a bubble I cannot wait to see pop. For the good of the people and planet.

As someone who has just this year become a Eurovision fan, I strongly condemn the cowardice and complicity of the European Broadcasting Union. If Russia is banned from the contest for its atrocities against Ukraine... 🧵

Okay, can I just applaud how you’re making fun of David Ellison with a GIF of a movie originally distributed by Paramount and now owned by Warner Bros.? I don’t know if that was intentional, but if it was, you win Bluesky for the day.
Sounds like someone from a piece of WB owned property

Hey, night drivers.
If you drive with your high beams on when you're ten feet behind the car in front of you, you're a reckless asshat.

The Netherlands, Norway, and Poland are separated here by only a tiny margin of quality; I may change my mind later, and/or gravitate more toward one of the former two, but all three songs are peak, but Poland's I found just a tiny more peak.

Best of Eurovision 1997: "Ale jestem" (Poland). Sounds like film soundtrack music. The good kind.
Worst of Eurovision 1997: "Sin rencor" (Spain). Sounds like film soundtrack music. The bad kind.

Yes, I did see the clips circulating of those AI-generated anime dubs.
No, I'm not sharing the clips of them. You guys are only giving the dubs publicity by sharing the clips. AI will die faster if you...

Just a reminder that, as a character created over 100 years ago, Everett True is in the public domain. So if anyone wants to bring him back... well, bring him back. I have, kind of. One of my OTOG comics is an homage and tribute to Everett True.

Quiet quitting 🤝 Device hoarding
Negative-sounding terms coined by rich people and their bootlickers to describe normal human behavior.

If a phone still works fine, it’s not “device hoarding” to keep using it. It’s common sense.
