The Pokemon Company drew this beast and then did not call it a dragon type. Despite it clearly being a dragon. Not that it mattered to 8yr old me, because my dumb ass did not internalize type match-ups anyway 😮‍💨 But we love Charizard in this gym. #pokemon #charizard #art #fanart #cool #discover #bnw

Genuinely wild how much the internet 15 years ago felt like a frontier and now feels like those terminals you get in video games with a couple of pages to give you the illusion of an explorable internet, like in cyberpunk 77. Just fully fucked the whole thing up

Louis-Joe Joestar: a completely #oc product. Any apparent resemblances to anything or anyone else, living, dead, or fictional, is complete coincidence. #art #bnw #csp #drawing #jjba #jojomemes #discover #fyp #explore

A black and white drawing of a man named Louis-Joe Joestar. It is intended to be in a similar style to the art of manga/anime Jojo's Bizarre Adventure. The man is holding a gun and showing off his body.

Something about the new Superman trailer really hits. I'm really really ready to unironically engage in a superman story right now. An alien that teaches us what it means to be human?? Bro you couldn't be more on-the-pulse if you tried.

Separating from the chaos of the world 11x17 pen and paper #surreal #macabre #PenAndPaper #TraditionalArt #DarkSurrealism #DarkArt #Art #InkSky #B&Wart

Pen drawing with the focal point being a screaming human face melting into a twisted, organic landscape that has the appearance somewhere between roots, bone and melting wax. In the background other humanoid figures with less human features emerge before a landscape of mountains and a night sky filled with large moons, a massive castle with clouds and some stars along the very top of the page.

Tbh, I've been running Sketchbook and Pencil without updating for like, several decades now, and haven't had any issues. Always a classic to fall back on!

If you want to fight that fight, you should know what you're in for, and you should know how you can continue to survive day-to-day while you do. (3/3)

That in the meantime, you the consumer can absolutely save money in gaming while fighting for what is obviously morally correct. The fight for a cheaper digital version on release is the fight against profit motive. It is a fight in (especially in America) with more fronts than anyone knows. (2/3)

CandidAshtrayArt @candidashtray.bsky.social · 14/12/2024

I do want to also be clear, in regard to my last thread, that I understand what most people want is for it to be 20 bucks cheaper digitally ON RELEASE, not some months later or by some hassle of a niche launcher. We should absolutely fight and make noise about that still!! I just mean to say (1/3)

Ask them about their back-catalog! Ask them about emulation, ask them about piracy (which is ethical but in transparency is also illegal--dont do it*). All major publishers but Nintendo are on PC in some capacity and the games they sell on CONSOLE at full price are 100% subsidized in other areas.

CandidAshtrayArt @candidashtray.bsky.social · 14/12/2024

Obviously a big part of this is the rise of both emulation awareness (corporate & consumer), as well as the new "handheld pc" market. But if you've never done any pc gaming, ask a pc player about Steam sales. Epic free games. Amazon Prime free games. Shoot, even Netflix now.

Digital gaming is incredibly cheap in the PC market! The trade-off USED to be that you needed significant starting capital AND knowledge to get into it. But PC gaming can now be done cheaper even from a startup perspective, and information on the topic has never been more accessible.

Console gamers be like: why are the digital versions the same price as the physical versions?😡 Bro bc your console ecosystem is a dictatorship. 👇

(Me in the time machine) So when the third ghost shows Scrooge a vision of his future, after his death, with everyone cheering and laughing about it? How he earned this ridicule by his deeds and profession? That wouldn't move him. He'd budget more for security. (Charles Dickens) Are you certain?

Swen Vincke's GOTY speech and Amir Satvat's Gamechanger Award were moments AS IMPORTANT AND IMPRESSIVE as all of the new premieres from last night. The Game Awards 2024 was one of the best ever. Now if we could just do something about that 3 hour runtime...

The Game Awards last night I actually thought was really good. Geoff pulled it off. But holy shit does it HAVE to be 3 hrs long??

I forget who it was but there was a comedian who had a bit about this. Something to the tune of "Farenheit is so easy! 100⁰? It's 100% hot outside. 0⁰? 0% hot outside. Anything not between those numbers can fuck off anyway!"

"Wow, do you really think murdering a father in cold-blood--" Let me stop you right there. Do YOU think medicine should be for-profit?? Stop capitulation to the questions the media is using as a framing device. Ask the right questions. We know murder is wrong, let's learn something new.
