IMO this was a better Beetlejuice (movie) game than the actual Beetlejuice games. Which seemed more based on the animated show anyway so <shrugs>

Last night's spooky videogame (because apparently I can't wait for October) was DeCap Attack; which I completed with no lives lost! Anywho I drew the protagonist of that game, Chuck D. Head! 💀
Monochrome line-drawing of Chuck D. Head from the SEGA Megadrive game DeCap Attack. He's giving a thumbs up! What a (dead) guy!

As I lay my body to rest eternal, know that the hill upon which I do so is to be named "DeCap Attack is a great game".

Fuck ChatGPT flyers. The future is broadsheets.
A crowded broadsheet with way too many fonts. It says:
Forget ChatGPT Flyers
Say it with 
Broadsheets
Unlimited fonts
Stretch them
Or cram a really long sentence into one line for no good reason
No whitespace
Mix capital and lowercase
Pointing hands
(They're called manicules!)
Don't be left behind
Broadsheets are the future

I've been working on a Ghosts 'n' Goblins 1CC and, well, it's not looking quite as within reach... (still feasible, it's just UGH, waiting for RNG to give me the damn cross on stage 6...)

To celebrate my finally defeating arcade Ghouls 'n' Ghosts yesterday, I drew this in my sketchbook. Stage 3-2, my nemesis and frequent run-killer. #ghoulsnghosts #daimakaimura #retrogames #arcadegames #capcom #illustration
A poor-quality photo of a monochrome drawing depicting a scene from the arcade game Ghouls 'n' Ghosts as its protagonist Arthur, clad only in his heart-patterned briefs, jumps from the tongue of a giant gargoyle statue amidst a misty mountain range set against a blackened night sky.

A personal white whale defeated this evening, as I *finally* achieved a one-credit completion of arcade Ghouls 'n' Ghosts. Both loops. Prequel next. Because apparently I hate myself. XD

Done a lot of soul-searching recently, and I think by and large I'm finished engaging with online communities, y'know? They're generally predisposed to a certain level of groupthink; fine if you're able to go with the flow. If you're not, the level of disrespect is something I'd rather not endure.

Patrick Ness makes a good point. Many of us, including myself, are being reduced to talking points around ADHD and SSRIs. Happened to trans people, asylum seekers before us. Trying to get on with your day, needing to use social media, and being told you are lesser is bloody tiring.

Had like the dozenth re-watch of Enter The Florpus tonight. Also, I drew this. #invaderzim #dib #professormembrane
Sketchbook double-spread with a monochrome comic-style drawing of Professor Membrane consoling his son Dib, kinda, saying "wishing isn't very scientific, son...". This is a scene from the feature-length Invader Zim: Enter the Florpus.

Wolverine game looks like utter shite developed by people who have never played any kind of pure-gameplay videogame that respects its player's skill and intuition. Y'know, like shmups or whatever.

im so excited about the direction videogames are going in!!!
artistic depiction of the new wolverine, crudely photoshopped elements of hugh jackman wolverine standing in the foreground in a field, a wolf howling in the distance, and a scent trail, many flashing red lights, a sound wave, and a quest marker all guiding wolverine to the wolf. wolverine is also receiving comms from james marsden cyclops in the top right offering him hints. there is a bright lens flar covering most of the scene

Happy Little Crater on Mercury - From Goddard Space Flight Center - flic.kr/p/druNSE
It looks like even the craters on Mercury have heard of Bob Ross! The central peaks of this complex crater have formed in such a way that it resembles a smiling face. This image is oriented so north is toward the bottom.

This image was acquired as a high-resolution targeted observation. Targeted observations are images of a small area on Mercury's surface at resolutions much higher than the 200-meter/pixel morphology base map. It is not possible to cover all of Mercury's surface at this high resolution, but typically several areas of high scientific interest are imaged in this mode each week.

The MESSENGER spacecraft is the first ever to orbit the planet Mercury, and the spacecraft's seven scientific instruments and radio science investigation are unraveling the history and evolution of the Solar System's innermost planet. Visit the Why Mercury? section of this website to learn more about the key science questions that the MESSENGER mission is addressing. During the one-year primary mission, MESSENGER acquired 88,746 images and extensive other data sets. MESSENGER is now in a yearlong extended mission, during which plans call for the acquisition of more than 80,000 additional images to support MESSENGER's science goals.

Had my say ec.europa.eu/info/law/bet...
Generative AI is a scourge on the world as a whole and the creative sector specifically. It is anti-creativity cynically masquerading as accessibility, rampant theft under the guise of democratising knowledge, erasure of information and a destructive homogenising of the world around us. It can do a small number of very specific things well, a large number of things badly and a lot of things not at all, yet it is being pushed as panacea and god by grifters and liars. The ecological and social impacts are enormous and it is criminally irresponsible to keep forging ahead with this terrible technology. We are in a climate emergency and every new data centre put up for this stuff is a slap in the face of humanity and our shared future. It is not progress, it is regression on a truly ludicrous scale, and every day we don't actively fight it is a day that we could have saved some of our children but instead condemned them to a burning planet where knowledge and creativity are actively set aside in favour of a beige slop and we learn nothing, make nothing, and do nothing. I for one do not wish to live in a world where we sit and stare while machines churn out content for other machines to consume until the burning land and rising sea ends us all, and I will resist every attempt to drag us towards that future in the name of "progress".

Astrophotographer Adam (AJ) Smadi caught this image a few hours ago from Washington state. A thin crescent Moon, sunlight illuminating the rugged lunar surface. And 2,400 times farther away—and on the other side of the Sun—mighty Jupiter, and its moons Io (left) and Ganymede (right).
A crescent Moon seen during the day, arcing from upper left to lower right of the frame. At lower centre is the full disk of Jupiter; the small dots to its upper left and lower right and Io and Ganymede, respectively.

A photographer in the Chatsworth Nature Preserve in Los Angeles captured a real-life image of something you would never see in cartoons: a coyote who successfully nabbed a road runner, instead of falling from a cliff, getting hit by a train or having an anvil land on him.
