Party at Summer's End [GBA] My first time making a GBA tune! It was definitely a bit of an unorthodox process, but also a really fun and novel one! The pixel art in this video was also done by me! Submitted to Summer Chip XVI on BotB! #chiptune #GBA

HVB☆damifortune | new album out!!🪻 @samplemance.rs · 18/09/2026

my new emo chiptune album A PLACE TO KEEP YOU is out now!! <3 I'm taking my intricate, glitchy arrangements to new horizons! this is my first release with vocals - practicing songwriting has been hugely rewarding. this record blends live instrumentation with authentic chiptune (Gameboy, NES, SNES)!

the cover art for "A Place to Keep You" by Hunter Van Brocklin. it shows a small house with its porch light on, largely obscured by trees and shrubs except for the stairs leading up to it. a large apartment building can be seen behind it with several of its windows lit up. the artist and title text appear to the right in white with a big quotation mark next to them.

Funnily enough, I'm pretty sure this is the first comic I've ever made #makeaterriblecomicday2026

A 4-panel black and white comic, except it's orange instead of white so it's really a black and orange comic.

PANEL 1

cat: "Your curtains are blue?"

dog: "Depends, who's asking?"

cat: "Oh thank FUCK!"

PANEL 2

cat: "See, blue is the exact opposite of Puce (#E491A6), my mortal enemy."

cat: "That's why everything in my house is allegedly blue."

PANEL 3

offscreen character: "Pah! You call that blue?!"

dog: *GASP*

cat: "GASP!"

PANEL 4:

offscreen character, who is now onscreen and is a bear with sunglasses and a tank top: "THIS is BLUE!!"

cat: "oh hey blue how's it goin' man"

Just managed to finish and submit my entry for the #FightingGameAprilJam2026 ! It's called "The Game Night Fighters" and it features a strange group of middle-aged friends who compete to decide what they'll play for Game Night. I had a lot of fun making it, and I hope you enjoy playing it! :)

Fuck ICE. Sharing screenshots of a great post from The Financial Diet on IG that compiles some helpful jumping-off points if you’re still feeling helpless and don’t know what to do. (Part 1 of 2)

The Anti Performative ICE Resistance Guide
(What Actually Helps)
from The Financial Diet

Fund the Work
ICE enforcement succeeds, in part, because people can't afford lawyers.
So,
• Set up recurring monthly donations (even $10-$25) to trusted orgs like: RAICES, National Immigration Project, Immigrant Defense Project, Legal Aid Justice Center, Amica, ACLU, local immigrant bond funds (these matter most), and many more.
• Prioritize legal defense + bond funds.

If your help disappears when the news cycle does, it's not helping as much as it could.

Show Up Offline
Material ways to assist
• Court accompaniment (quiet presence, documentation).
• Childcare or rides for families attending hearings.
• Translation support (if fluent).
Mutual aid coordination through existing networks.

Protect those being persecuted, from yourself
Well-meaning people can cause real harm.
DON'T
• Share raid rumors without verification.
• Post locations, schedules, or identifying details.
• Pressure undocumented people to
"tell their story."
DO
• Ask: Does this increase their risk?
• Default to privacy over visibility.

I was studying the character select portraits from KOF 2003 and wanted to try making pixel art of Mars (from @batshaped.bsky.social's comic, Hello From Halo Head) in that style! Of all the characters from HFHH, Mars is by far the most well suited to be in a fighting game.

I participated in my first ever game jam - the Godot Wild Jam - with my digital art themed puzzle game, Canvas Variations! I had a lot of fun putting this one together.

The title screen to my game, Canvas Variations. The title is written in cursive text at the top. There's a canvas of empty tiles which the player can turn into filled in tiles, just for fun! On the bottom right is a button with the caption, "Start Game".

“do i feel this character was justified” can be a starting point for more interesting juicy stuff: WHY did they do it? how do these circumstances reflect their history/personality/feelings/etc…and that’s before even getting into what symbols and metaphors you can start sinking teeth into

By complete coincidence, a sample comic from WarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase appears to be notably close in its plot to popular online game Among Us, featuring an imposter among astronauts and the verbatim use of the phrase "among us", a decade before that game was released.

Apparently no one on Bluesky has ever mentioned Virtual Drumline (at least not that I can find), so I guess I'll be the first! I like Virtual Drumline a lot and still use it, though I'm so familiar with how it sounds now that I can't unhear it when it's used in soundtracks, commercials, etc.
