Probably not Newsom, then, the man's a borderline republican who hangs out with right-wing podcasters, he's going to get ripped to shreds. But I don't think "Normie Dems" want a return to "normal" either, they want big sweeping changes, if not an outright sledgehammer to the system.

The last time Harris was in a competitive primary, she didn't do very well - perhaps a bigger national profile might help, but she still has loser stink. Newsrom is only a big name because he's California's governor and talks a big game when it comes to Trump, everyone else will tear him to shreds.

I feel like the 2028 primary is gonna be a very different beast from 2020, partly due to the political environment. The base is at its most left-leaning in decades, socialism is slowly clawing itself back to viability and that "normal Democrat" brought us Trump 2 by not doing enough on everything.

I honestly doubt it. Trump is MAGA, he's the god-king of the cult. The Republicans are too terrified of the power he wields over the maniacs who have demonstrated a willingness to murder politicians on both sides of politics in Trump's name.

Dungeon Delights now has a SAGE 2026 trailer! This is my first time making a proper "professional" game trailer, especially in DaVinci Resolve, but I think it came out pretty well! Also, shout out to @kashdanmusic.bsky.social for composing the music used in the trailer! youtu.be/jowVcTOTYN8 #GameDev

And before anyone asks, yes, I still have choice paralysis when it comes to choosing the voice actors. I'm gonna try and choose today, but there's too many talented people and my anxiety doesn't help. Oh, geez. #GameDev

Not a surprise, islamophobia has been a core theme of the hate brigades that stalk Mamdani and El-Sayed.

I think the Ocarina of Time remake looks... okay? It's frankly a mixed bag. Young Link looks a bit off and not expressive enough, young Zelda looks hideous, and I don't mind the more detailed art direction, but I do think they need either a different tonemapper or dial up the contrast significantly.

Here's a week-old kinda-outdated gameplay video for Dungeon Delights, with some very early character art from @ravrous.bsky.social! (He does do NSFW art as well, just for disclosure's sake to be on the safe side, fyi.) youtu.be/JahjMZb0hwg?...

Been working on a fantasy-themed FNAF-style game prototype for little over a week, submitted a booth for this year's SAGE and now I need to somehow replace the placeholder character art by the time SAGE goes live in less than a month lol #ScreenshotSaturday #GameDev #SAGE2026

Probably by making it too legally dicey for contractors to sign on to the project. It's just too public, whoever starts construction would immediately be sued.

To be fair, the Bible isn't particularly consistent on that. Even scholars can't agree on whether, for example, Paul was against or tolerant of slavery (or who even wrote most of "his" writings). I mainly just stick to Jesus' teachings, at least those are fairly consistent and morally sensible.

You know, with all the Deltarune Chapter 5 chatter, I don't think I've seen anyone talk about these two seemingly unused enemies that appear in the second diner room if you return to it later:

Hot take about Switch Sports Resort - Sportsmates aren't good, but Miis with the standard featureset were always pretty shit tbh, they're only tolerable if not good with the extended customization in Switch Miitopia/Tomodachi Life. Ultimate Angler had the perfect "updated Mii" look.

Just finished Mina the Hollower (somehow managed to one-and-done the final boss), @yachtclubgames.bsky.social put out another fantastic game! I hope we see more of Mina and the world that they've created, it has so much potential and I feel like we've only gotten a relatively surface-level look in.

Watched the premiere of The Amazing Digital Circus: The Last Act last night, it was fantastic and @gooseworx.bsky.social and @glitchprod.com hit it out of the park, bravo. I rarely go to see movies but my local theater was packed and had the most energized audience I've ever been a part of.

You don't owe anything to anyone, you and your crew made something amazing and should be proud of that fact. It sucks that you gotta deal with shitty "fans", but, sadly, that's nearly always an inevitability when dealing with large fandoms.

Candescence @candescence.bsky.social · 20/05/2026
It's obvious the dev team put a lot of actual thought into the new style and character designs, there's so many new little details and while everyone cringed at Katt's new design at first it makes way more sense for her actual gang background and her solo merc occupation.

Candescence @candescence.bsky.social · 20/05/2026
I feel like the puppets were maybe an inspiration, but it's definitely more possible that the developers decided "hey, maybe we should actually make these alien characters actually look like animal-like aliens rather than humans with animal heads on top, that would be interesting".

Hearing about the "discourse" around the Gamoverse pilot makes me groan. You don't have to like a thing but bloody hell don't make it everyone else's problem. Some people seem genuinely offended that a ton of people happen to like a specific piece of media, as if it's some kind of sacrilege.

i dont think its anything too crazy but here, topology matters a lot less for higher poly lol but still matters obviously. it was box modeled, i think i used subdiv at first and then applied and went in and cleaned up the shapes and some such

All Bill needs to do is say Trump was on Epstein's island, under oath, and just watch as all hell breaks loose. Anything more damning than that would be icing on the cake.

Unreal, maybe with some Blender on the side if I need to use it for animating (though it might be easier to animate using a control rig in Unreal, depending).

Also, looking for a 3D artist who does anime-style stuff for game and animation stuff, I'd mainly like to commission models for the sisters atm, but I'd also like to do other characters as well. Someone who can also do adult stuff and/or furry/alien characters would be nice but optional.

With the web novel version of Henshin Sisters done, I guess there's now the hard part of reworking into something more suited for mainstream publication - probably removing the erotica, maybe reworking the structure, etc. I really need an editor.

the thing that strikes me about the Grok "apology" thing is that even those of us who are against "AI" as it is marketed to us have trouble not falling into the basic fallacy that they are trying to sell us, i.e. There's A Little Guy In There

Yet another reminder that "Artificial Intelligence" in regards to LLMs is a misnomer/marketing bullshit and they're just glorified word-matching algorithms rather than actually intelligent.

To shunt this fight to right before the midterms, with the idea being that it could potentially supercharge what is likely to be a blue wave. It's essentially a live hand grenade that either goes off in the GOP's face now or later.

Candescence @candescence.bsky.social · 07/11/2025
You're missing the fact that the compromise would've kicked the can down the road right to before the midterms, where this whole fight would've started all over again with the GOP at a disadvantage. Schumer played a shockingly savvy hand that the GOP could not win against.

Nah, he left Bluesky because it it wasn't crypto enough for his liking and actually had centralized moderation (which he no likely). ATProtocol is more than mature enough, it's just that it actually takes work to spin up a new instance, unlike Mastodon.

So you completely ignored the feedback about the adult content censorship? The part about "consensual" content forces creators to walk around eggshells, "consent" shouldn't matter for entirely content without real people depicted. The new guidelines are too restrictive and ripe for abuse.
