the problem with these discord status prompts is I'd be answering a question no one else can see. and that sucks because they're usually pretty fun prompts. it's like if I tweeted the word "Minecraft" with no context.

I guess it's normal for doctor's offices to show gambling ads on the waiting room TV now??

I came across a really cute #fanart of #Ralsei from #Deltarune and decided to practice more drawing using it as a reference pic. I think I'm getting better at this 😊 original artwork by Spaicy: x.com/Spaicy_Proje...

A pencil drawing of Ralsei from Deltarune, an anthropomorphic goat boy. One arm posed behind his back, he's waving at the viewer with a cute and joyful expression. He's leaning slightly to the left and putting his weight on one foot as his robe and scarf billow in the breeze.

the fact that fortnite only lets you customize sidekicks once per purchase was a truly evil decision

So one of the apps I can't install with my new privacy-focused OS is my bank app, which wouldn't be a deal breaker, but I can't even use the website for it without authenticating with the app. So I'm completely locked out without it. Guess I'm reinstalling stock android.

well i decided to practice drawing after a lovely artist friend gave me some encouragement, so here's a squishy little minecraft pig i keep on my desk. he was four dollars at a local con and he makes me smile :)

You killed iGoogle, and I did not leave you. You killed Play Music, and I did not leave you. You erased "Don't Be Evil", and I did not leave you. You killed Google Assistant. And I still did not leave you. But then you killed my YT Premium family plan, and when I tried to start anew, you said no. 👋

Well, it's been a long journey, but I finally got my first mastery on RetroAchievements: Dragon Quest VIII for PS2. My favorite game of all time is always fun to revisit, but this has been a uniquely rewarding experience and I'll never forget it.

cw: bigotry/murder of trans ppl The way that conservatives are reacting to the horrific murder of 19-year-old Juniper Blessing makes me absolutely sick to my stomach. Unfathomable levels of praise and joy for a murderer based purely on hatred of anyone who identifies outside their biological sex.

Three positive reviews written in French. The top review is translated to: "Really great! The graphics are beautiful, and the gameplay is quite enjoyable! Happy New Year!"

it is done. (after reaching the center of the galaxy i respawned on another extreme world with all my protective gear destroyed, i immediately died to the elements, and being on permadeath, my save was deleted)

Screenshot from Steam library showing game details for No Man's Sky. Achievements are 27/27 completed, play time is 314.3 hours, and in the post-game summary several achievements are listed, including "Attain 'Everlasting' status in Extreme Survival" and "Reach the Centre of the Galaxy in Permadeath Mode"

I decided to hunt all the Steam achievements in No Man's Sky recently. Before I finish the main story on permadeath mode, I need to survive in extreme weather, such as deadly firestorms, for 12 real-life hours. So I've been idling in my space jeep for the last 11 hours. Almost there!

photo of a screen showing gameplay of No Man's Sky (2016). a large green all-terrain vehicle sits in the foreground with fiery ash flowing through the air around it. in the background sits a red spacecraft. a text box in the bottom corner reads:
"Milestone: Extreme Survival.
Reach milestone 'Everlasting' for Extreme Survival. Scan planets from space to identify extreme worlds. Hazard protection upgrades are strongly advised. Time survived in extreme conditions: 38,295/43,200 minutes"

The time displayed in in-game minutes increases by one every real-life second.

update: the creator has stepped down and handed full control of the project over to the rest of the iiSU team. he's also refunding anyone who donated and is stepping away from the internet as a whole. furthermore, multiple developers have made statements denying any use of AI in the coding of iiSU.

screenshot from an announcement on the iiSU discord server by creator iShade.

"For better or for worse, I'm stepping down from iiSU as a whole. I've began refunding donations today, around $5k will be returned by the end of the night, starting with the most recent. Please do NOT donate to my Ko-Fi past this point, the link will be taken down shortly. If you still want to donate to iiSU as a project, I'm handing it all to my team. I trust Nathan (Elder Monkey) and know he's more cut out for this role than I am. My team doesn't need me, I've already played my part.

Whether I return to YouTube or not is not up for debate. I've made up my mind and thought this entire thing through. I've always known I'm much happier offline, and this experience exemplifies that ten-fold. I simply don't have the energy to deal with any of this. I'm glad I was able to contribute to the community as much as I could, hopefully I left a positive mark in some way.

Thanks for everything. Whatever happens, I'm glad I was able to deliver what I could. Stay safe and take care ❤️"

screenshot from an announcement by Nathan (Elder Monkey) in the same channel:

"Note on concern over the use of Generative AI: We are NOT supportive of the use of generative AI to replace the extremely hard work of artists and creators. There have been some people concerned as it's extremely invasive in many spaces online, and we don't want our storefront, our network, or our code to be filled with its work. We have an entire team of backend and frontend developers writing code, spinning up servers, and working their hardest, and I don't want to see that hard work boiled down into AI slop. Many of our devs have open source projects, so you can take a peek and see their work if you wish!"

The post from Sapphire continues.

"I also want to make this clear:

I do not use AI for any part of my development work.

Everything I build is written by me, and my public GitHub forks show my actual work and history. I have been developing for much longer than many might think. Soooo many years ago, I worked on patches and ELF modifications for Sony Ericsson devices, and I also translated the game Galaxy on Fire 2 from English to Spanish. The translation is not perfect, but I did my best at the time. For those curious, it is still online in some places:
https://movilesvip.blogspot.com/2009/03/galaxy-on-fire-2.html

Thank you for your understanding and for supporting my work. I want to keep this space transparent and honest, and I appreciate everyone who continues to follow the development of my projects."

❌ Switch 2 ❌ ✔️ 3DS 2 ✔️

A photo of the upcoming Ayn Thor, a dual-screen handheld Android device with the ability to play and emulate games as graphically intensive as those on 3DS, Wii U, and Nintendo Switch. It has a clamshell design, dual analog sticks, dual 1080p OLED screens, it's less expensive than a Switch 2, and it fits in your pocket.
