Hi, I'm old and boring. Mostly here for art, animals, chatting and to shoot stray thoughts into the void.

I felt like making some art last night/today and could have made something beautiful and/or meaningful but I made this instead.

It's a Barbie Yaga Malibu Dream Hut.

No regrets. Can't defeat fascism without joy.

You have just 1 week to play Perfect Tides before the sequel, Perfect Tides: Station to Station comes out!

The games can be enjoyed out of order, but what better way to spend the week?

The QR code thing is built on top of the assumption which undergirds a lot of attempts at police reform, which is that the cops are fundamentally good. It completely collapses under any practical scrutiny, but I'm sure it sounds lovely when you live in a world of pure ideology.

so much of learning is encouragement, but social media — outside of exceptionally accepting communities — rarely presents people with opportunities to fail sans consequences. so instead everyone acts like they know what they’re talking about even when they don’t, and we’re all dumber for it

If there’s a better obituary for an evil cartoonist than an A.I. generated version of his character that fucks up the defining detail of its design, I can’t think of it. No notes. 👨🏻‍🍳 💋

a lot of people are being radicalized by ICE this week so please remember that the most important thing when someone comes to any kind of radical politics is to immediately scold them for doing activism wrong as someone who has been doing it much longer

Checking in and I'm glad that the Ikoku Nikki anime seems to be good so far? Just an all-timer excellent manga.

"If I leave Omelas that kid is still going to be tortured - in fact, if everyone who cares about the kid left Omelas the only people left would be kid-torturers! So in a sense, staying in Omelas is my version of walking away form Omelas.

I'm staying in Omelas to stick it to the kid torturers."
I mean it’s gonna be really hard to top this one

Pathologic 3 is out!!!

I did localization editing on it, with several of my friends. We polished the English language game text.

If you've ever been interested in Pathologic, you can start with this one - no need to play 2 first. (But you should play both!!!) store.steampowered.com/app/3199650/...

I would really caution anyone against implying that paywalling this feature is a legitimate response to public outcry. The paywall is an endorsement, not a restriction. Musk is saying "this thing you're all talking about is valuable. Pay me for it." The actual material effect is just monetization.
