Avatar Seven Havens is somehow so intriguing with its story, has a great and distinct style to its world, and excellent music, but the animation is in /rough/ shape

they wanna create a generation of human beings who have the same temperament as a dog that never saw any other creature or human except their owner as a puppy and grew up up into a neurotic demon. "tolerance of the unexpected or odd" is an essential human skill of equal importance as "swallow water"

Edd Coates | Game UI Database @eddcoates.bsky.social · 05/10/2026
Knowing where so many creative tools (Rive, Adobe, etc) have ended up with their AI adoption, I dread to think what the Game UI Database could have become in the hands of someone with no respect for the creative process. The GUIDB is proudly anti-AI and will always champion humans, no matter what!

I have felt compelled to make a teeny celebratory fanart since I saw this post, ep 2 isn't out yet but I know in my heart of hearts that the way bunliths ears flop around is really cute :]
A mostly monochrome sketch of Bunlith, the Witch Upstairs, a bunny girl with delightful floppy ears and a witch hat whose underside looks like space. Her ears are flippity flopping very fetchingly.

CONTINUED, The Boy From Venus #13. 🦦 Gonna need 2 for this one, so [1/2]
Panel 1: Val and Audrey are standing together in front of the pool. Audrey points forward as they exchange a look and says "You don't have to go in if you don't want to. But I'm goin' in!"

Panel 2: Audrey begins to pull up his shirt over his head, illuminated by a streetlight behind him.

Panel 3: Val quickly covers her eyes, sweating a bit, surprised by him suddenly doing that.

Panel 4: We see only the thin slivers of light leaking between Val's fingers from Val's point of view. A speech bubble appears by one of the slivers, the tail indicating it to be from Audrey. "Val?" says Audrey.Panel 5: Still Val's point of view. Val opens her fingers a bit, just enough to see Audrey's face looking at her, amused. "Val, why are you doing that? Ha ha," says Audrey.

Panel 6: Val opens her eyes fully to see Audrey in a frilly blue two-piece bathing suit with a top that slings around the shoulders on both the side and top, and a skirt bottom. "It's just a bathing suit," says Audrey, "It's not like I'm naked."

Panel 7: Audrey walks off, sticking his tongue out a bit stupidly, as Val looks on. Audrey says "Anyway, I know what I'M here for. I'm gonna go splash around!"

Panel 8: Val thinks "I had seen Audrey be clumsy when we were walking on land before," and remembers him tripping with a fast food tray in front of her, sending french fries and soda flying everywhere.Panel 9: Val looks forward, the pool reflecting in her glasses, and thinks "But, looking at him now, I realized something."Panel 10: Audrey smiles placidly as his whole body gracefully flows through the water, as if he he one with the currents, bubbles gliding around him along the rhythms of his body. "This was never a land creature," Val narrates.

Panel 11: Audrey's head happily pops out of the water, sending little droplets flying and reflecting the moonlight. "This was something aquatic," Val narrates, "Gentle. Curious. Unhurt."

Panel 12: Audrey's eyes sparkle as he notices a rubber duck floating around in the pool with him. It has round glasses, making it look kinda like Val. "Or maybe not unhurt," Val continues narrating, "but..."

Panel 13: Audrey picks up the rubber duck, smiling and inspecting it curiously.

Panel 14: Audrey holds up the rubber duck above his head so that Val can see it, big smile beaming. Behind him is an almost magical, chromatic sky filled with red, yellow, green, and blue stars, galaxies, and a huge moon. All of these elements are also reflected in the rippling pool, making it look like a paint-filled art easel. "Not defined by hurt," thinks Val.

I beat Sweet Home and am a much richer person now than before. There's never going to be another story like this, about life and fate and how being granted those two things can be something you wish you were never granted. A story about fatalism that screams to my heart with so much clarity.

good news everyone! OpenKH will no longer be using genAI. The Kingdom Hearts modding community can rest easy.
Discord announcement from TopazTK:
A poll was made in OpenKH concerning the use of Generative AI in its codebase. It was overwhelmingly decided by the community that Generative AI should **NOT** be used within OpenKH. As such, the announcement I have made about OpenKH is hereby null and void.

However, I did promise to develop a version of the Mod Manager with all the features the aforementioned PR had whilst not using any LLMs to generate code. As such, since I am a man of my word, focus will be shifted to that direction until said promise is kept. This will mean Re:Fined is on a temporary hold.

As a compromise, I will also implement extractionless building as a treat.

I will release the latest version of Re:Fined KH2 before I fully commit, and a BETA for Re:Fined KH1 sometime next week to close the gap.

Thank you for understanding.
Keep on Moddin'
