Bandit Heeler sitting next to Bluey. He looks sympathetic and she looks sad. The caption on the image says "I understand you don't want to get in the robot, Bluey, but if you don't your sister will have to do it again"

The conscious claws of Doc Ock! 🔴 (Spider-Man 2, 2004)
As a huge fan of Doc Ock/Alfred Molina for over 20 years Ive wanted to animate him for a long time! Its not often I animate humans as they can be a bit challenging, but for a rough practice clip Im happy with the turnout! :D

TIL the original lyrics to Deck the Halls are awesome and “don we now our gay apparel” is temperance movement bullshit

Deck the hall with boughs of holly, Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la!
"Tis the season to be jolly: a, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la!
Fill the meadcup, drain the barrel,
Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la!
Troll the ancient Christmas carol.
Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la!

i'm giving up fortnite because of the harry potter collab. i realize it's an evil game regardless but it occupied a nice low-friction space for a bit there.

what do other folks play for their "turn off their brain and shoot things" shooter? I've uninstalled Fortnite now and am poking around to see what clicks. I enjoyed being able to hop into solos PVP but also group up with friends. Reinstalled Helldivers 2 but that's harder to play alone.

As much as I love buff badass lesbian Samus, I also really love the version of her from that one Super Metroid gag manga where she's this weirdo obsessed with round objects and hiding in small spaces

Metroid manga: Round and Round
An Unexpected Discovery

Samus: I haven't been back to my starship in a long while.
Samus: It's gotten very dirty. It should be cleaned.
(Samus notices something while cleaning)
Samus: Oh!
(Samus is now curled into a ball and tucked into a small space)
Galactic Federation Voice: Samus! Report in! What are you doing? Respond!
Samus: Aaah! It's perfect for turning into a ball here!

Lots of Information

Samus: This is Samus! I've been exploring many places on my mission!
Galactic Federation Voice: Have you really been doing anything?
Samus: If you don't believe me, just take a look at this map!
Galactic Federation Voice: Oh! I see you've been rapidly progressing!
Samus: See, see?
(Galactic Federation Guy looks at Samus's map, which is full of her notes)
Galactic Federation Guy: As for these notes...
The notes: "Here's a roundy, and it's very nice!"
"Here's another."
"Rolly place."
"There was a roundy here, but it broke down."

Josh hits it.

I prefer to use my own damn eyes and ears, and they tell me that video games are not a better place thanks to The Game Awards. Careers are not made, prestige is not accrued, horizons are not broadened. I do not fault developers for grasping at any handhold available to them in this rapidly decaying business beset by lecherous consolidation and ravenous profit-seeking, and hope that more than a handful have been able to stay in the business longer thanks to the show’s exposure. But I think The Game Awards stance on the industry is exceedingly clear: Things are fine just the way they are.

Everyone knows this isn’t true, but we are feeble in our articulations, rote in our responses to cruelties we protest. It is perturbing that we’ve become accustomed to the Hellscape Preamble, a boilerplate paragraph where socially conscious writers will acknowledge layoffs, industry turmoil, and global conflict, before running down their list of best games of the year. We make for ourselves the world we write, and we can only write the world we imagine. I’m begging you to consider how small our imaginations have gotten, that we will turn away from the capaciousness of our hearts and minds when it comes to video games in the name of a good time. Tune into The Game Awards or not, but consider the kind of person it is made for, and if that aligns with the world you want to lie in.

New 7th Stand User update; it's the smallest one yet as we cover a couple fights that have no truly meaningful changes from the first run. Next week should make up for it.

while KOSA passed the subcommittee, there is still the full committee meeting it needs to go through before being voted on by the Senate/House

support is more split on it than you'd think, we just need to pull away enough votes to block it. CALL YOUR REPRESENTATIVES!

Big fan of the key art for that new Star Wars racing game.

Key art for Star Wars: Galactic Racer featuring three speeders from above on a series of coloured lines with a muted '70s-ish colour palette.

I am hearing that Geoff Keighley received the light of Islam and unhesitatingly recited the Shahada during a cut segment of The Game Awards. He said Allah looks down on the Ummah from the gardens of Jannah. Truly there is no god but Allah, and Mohammad (PBUH) is his prophet!
