I talked about Undertale in class tonight because I’m the professor and I get to decide these things and nobody can stop me:

A Google slide titled “An Aside: Leitmotif.” Arranged horizontally across the middle of the slide are images of characters from Undertale, from left to right: Frisk, Flowey, Napstablook, Toriel, Sans, Papyrus, Undyne, Alphys, and ASGORE. The bottom of the slide reads, in parentheses, “This slide fills you with DETERMINATION.”

The horrors persist but so does Steiner.

An orange adult male cat relaxed and laying on his side on top of a bed that is ostensibly for humans but more practically is for pets. His eyes are glazed over. His tummy is soft and imminently rubbable.

My conceptual framework from my intro chapter is due to be submitted for my seminar today, and the overall intro chapter draft currently stands at roughly 10 pages total (out of an expected 12-14) and just south of 2700 words. Prog!

Preview of my page spread illustration for the Exocolonist zine! This is just a corner of the piece and it's packed with details and more main characters 👀 I also drew some charm designs! 💖 Pre-orders open on the 25th! www.tumblr.com/lifeonvertumna #art #FarisArt #TeenageExocolonist #IWATEX #vace

Part of a larger illustration I drew for a Teenage Exocolonist zine. It shows the back of an adult Vace in a more casual outfit, sitting on a ledge as he overlooks a new colony in the distance. A hopeye rests on his shoulder comfortably. There's blue mushtrees on the landscape below, a covered vertical garden walkway, and a flagpole with various banners on it flowing in a breeze.
The scene is overlayed with a template of purple clouds and part of the wormhole with the Stratos ship flying down through the atmosphere.

FFXIV and I'm pretty sure I already have a literal year's worth of hours of playtime so this is a slam dunk

I have only spent a couple of hours playing Big Walk but I already feel like it might be my GOTY; fun gameplay, beautiful environments, immaculate sound design, brilliant level design. Having a blast playing it with friends!

We shouldn't have to keep saying this. It's obvious that this is what all HP income to her is earmarked for. If you have friends that "just can't give it up," try sending stories and links their way. No one is trying to take away the joy they felt, but there is NO need to continue supporting it.

I spent the last few months talking to over 30 game developers about generative AI. It began as a sort of interview survey but became a pretty comprehensive collection of arguments against the technology altogether. www.gamesradar.com/games/why-so...

Why so many game developers don't want to use generative AI

With credits ranging from Dispatch and Marvel Rivals to Uncharted and Dragon Age, over 30 devs share their thoughts on gen AI

This was a really fun race to watch, incredible effort by all the world race teams and the production/caster team. And over $100k raised for charity!

This has been the most fun I’ve had watching an ultimate race in FFXIV and the bespoke Kefka VA lines for the broadcast is one reason why.

This. God, this. It is such a manufactured panic and it started the moment they lost the fight over gay marriage. Support trans rights because it’s the right thing to do and also because this is all just a fascist push

When you want to "abadndon the South" just know that you are abandoning the part of the country that has 60% of the US's Black population. The racism employed by neo-libs in this argument isn't hidden, you just probably don't have anyone but liberal whites in your life you're not called on it.
