Creeping back out of the woodwork to ask folk: What are some of your favourite Mega Drive/ Genesis games!? I'm after some hidden gems and more off the beaten path kind of stuff. Any region, any genre. Feel free to share! Looking to do some homework

LLMs impress the writers who do not want to write, the coders who don't want to code, the researchers who don't want to research, and the lawyers that don't want to actually understand case law. Those that desperately tell you how powerful Al is and that you simply must use it are looking for you to validate their own laziness or distaste for effort, and those who are impressed with LLMs' outputs tend to be people with low standards.

can think of at least 50 artists who, if you gave them each even like 100 thousand dollars, it would absolutely change the culture we live in for the better. 5 million is pocket change in the scheme of things. but we have to live in a world where all of that capital is wasted on bullshit like this.

It's fair to suggest a lot of illustrators catered their portfolio towards client tastes and were rewarded with being replaced by ai slop so honestly draw whatever the fuck you want, you're free now. There's fuck all money in this career as it is you may as well get payed for something cool

Pulling the trigger early! The algorithmic madhouse that is social media has always been trapping in a myriad of ways. In 2025 I tried to play along with SEO more than ever and it didn't seem worth all the trouble so I'm gonna become a lil digital hermit and escape the constant feed of doom.

Please. My labubu is very sick.

It's the head of the Eraserhead Baby in place of a labubu doll's faceplate.

The Eraserhead baby is disturbing. It kind of looks like a sheep fetus? But here it is, tucked in the furry little body of a bunny-like labubu.

All these photos are in black & white, to be evocative of the Eraserhead movie.

Putting this out into the ether! I'm trying to remove as much of my process as is possible from screens so I've been trying to find decent graph paper to do pixel art the old fashion way. Ideally after A3, 350gsm, and what seems to be 2mm grid? Anyone know what's best? Reference: Akio for R-Type
