Miniature painter, working in video games. Expect posts about heavy metal, pro wrestling & Magic The Gathering. Quite annoying. Views are my own.

So glad I got this finished before Bloodstock! 🥰

Absolutely LOVED working on this and over the moon with how it’s turned out.

I have a daughter now. Her name is Rikku.

Her sister Yuna is refusing to come out from behind the sofa.

google will really derank websites for relatively minor infractions but then allow a brand to pedal codes pages and guides for PEGI 12 games aimed at children right next to pages encouraging people to sign up to predatory online casinos with legally grey offshore gaming licenses lmao

Videogamer's new logo a screaming exclamation mark on the 'support independent games media' argument. Legitimately thought this was someone taking the piss when it was first posted in a discord, but no, it's on the site. You have to laugh (or else you'll cry)

So, people are going to have to pass A level english to live here are they? I hope they study what I did at A level, Translations by Brian Friel, about the colonial evil of the English forcing people to adopt the English language

I have the Bloomburrow precon and I think she's in that too. I played it once and people were not happy.

I bought her at UKGE just cus the card was so pretty but she does seem ripe for some awful shenanigans.

Everyone should go and watch A Movie About Movie Posters - 24"x36". Such a good documentary on illustrated movie posters, the current resurgence of them as collector pieces, and features Drew heavily. I fucking loved it.

Oh man. This fucking sucks. It’s impossible to overstate how much his posters contributed to two decades of Hollywood. Some of the most iconic movie posters of all time are all his work. Damn.

I am so intrigued by the ‘IP rights’ bit.

Found the article and the product page and aaahahahahahahahhaha this is so fucking lame.

Also found a Reddit thread where someone found an NFT he owned four years ago so looks like he’s fully into all that shite. Kinda admirable that he’s stuck with it, I guess.

Sarah Dyer @pikapies.bsky.social · 1d

Not having read it, I’m gonna guess it’s a pretty standard amp but it just has some kind of ‘certificate of authenticity’ that’s ’verified by the blockchain’. So like an NFT that’s completely unrelated and essentially worthless.

Sarah Dyer @pikapies.bsky.social · 2d

Imagine launching some blockchain thing *now*.

It would have been embarrassing two years ago, but it’s so much worse now.

The train gods have blessed me at long last and everything’s run on time so we’re off to go view a pair of cats to possibly adopt and I think I’m going to cry. 😭

I feel like there’s been quite a sudden uptick in AI coverage that at least considers the possibility it may not be all it’s cracked up to be – suspect this could be an exercise in arse-covering by the media as it gradually becomes clearer it’s a question of when the bubble goes pop, rather than if.

Well then it's not really your dream summer holiday, is it?

That’s why we’re not even considering Cat’s Protection. I do not understand the demand for all cats to go outdoors in this day and age.

Sarah Dyer @pikapies.bsky.social · 3d

I do follow them and have been keeping an eye out for any suitable pairs! @hollyqueenofspayeds.com , you do amazing work!

(Also are Dinah and Alice are looking for a home together? 🥺)
