I don't mean to rag on those animals because it's clearly a combination of nature's priorities plus the fault of humans breeding them for self serving reasons BUT these mfers at different ages 100% *do* look like the giant creatures in the old PC game black and white based on if they're good or evil
old PC game graphics wolf turns light/sweet looking or dark/monstrous looking.same old PC game graphics but for sheep turning either holy/golden looking smooth or growly monstrous ripple face/horns.

another sesh unangling hair from the 21 year old Baxter was a smashing success for all parties involved, this time our focus was his belly and rear calves p.s. recent alt text bug is making me not want to post pictures on @bsky.app we gotta reposition the cursor after each letter typed or deleted 🙃

quoted image has been online since 2016, video here of an adult since 2018, confirmed with tineye, which seems important because in 2026 these look like the type of animals people might generate (possibly even based on creatures that exists, as with wrong sea life videos I've seen shared virally 🙃)

There are places worth going that can only be reached by getting there slowly, where you have to walk. And places good to be that can't be entered alone. I've been building gamedev communities since 2004, before the modern commercial indie era. Whatever happens in industry, we'll still be doing it

no doubt but I was just at the museum a couple weeks ago, feels like there's a nonzero chance of a real table that was basically that layout before features got fancier

obligatory response in this context
edit of you wouldn't download a car old meme says you wouldn't take a care. background has streaks of muted, shades of cyan and tan resembling the effects of old VHS tape glitches. text is in intense stencil font at inconsistent heights to look more deranged.

calvin and Hobbes black and white comic, probably from late 1980s or early 1990s. 4 panel. calvin is drawn as an oval with round feet on stick legs, antenna sticking up from head. speech bubbles say:
oh, no! calvin has turned into one of his own childhood drawings!  
his anatomical references being obscure at best, calvin finds it difficult to move! are these lower appendages feet or wheels?  
his own mom thinks he's some kind of helicopter! if only calvin had learned to draw better!  
calvin now appearing as a correctly drawn normal human child: no one understands my work.  
calvin's mom while reading a newspaper at the table without looking away: that's what all artists say.

It was the first pinball table I owned and maintained originally for a school media lab, then one a few I sold to bars then continued being the main repair person for. I still keep a replacement skull and spent flipper coil from it around 😂 I first knew it by old digital tables based on parts of it
