Sorry to keep bringing this post back, but I haven't had consistent work in months, and my most recent offer fell apart after I mentioned needing to be paid money. So if you want to pay a pixel artist with over a decade of industry experience, that's me! 📧 hunter@hrpixelart.com 💻 www.hrpixelart.com

If any of you have been interested in trying Finch (self-care app where you take care of a lil bird) now is a great time to do it because all their Halloween stuff is super cute and our birds can be friends and I’ll carve you a pumpkin (I just rly want more Finch friends. I love this app, okay?!)

You've seen fireworks that look like jellyfish, but what about a jellyfish that looks like fireworks? The E/V Nautilus filmed this rare Halitrephes maasi jellyfish glowing like a firework at a depth of 4,019 feet (1,225 meters) off the coast of Baja California, Mexico. (📷: Ocean Exploration Trust)

As 2026 shapes up to be another record year for video game layoffs, composers find themselves on the front lines. Feeling the squeeze, they open up about how they keep their heads above water.

I’ve gotten feedback that Divinuet “lacks actual gameplay” which is true and is the whole point! If you want something that really forces you to be in the moment, that turns a tarot reading into a whole auditory and visual experience, it’s the game for you. Absolutely zero skill required to play 🔮🎶

being so fr when I say that transmisogyny has put feminism back like 50 years

seravph
what i thought we had distanced ourselves from was the reduction of women to vaginas and wombs and the ability to bear children. i thought we had progressed past 'dresses are for women and pants are for men. i thought we progressed past the idea that someone is less of a woman if she does not adhere strictly to beauty standards. i thought we progressed past the idea that naturally being comfortable adhering to highly feminine standards is vulgar. but i (sarcastically) guess no one could have predicted that trans-exclusive feminism would be the downfall of all the progress we've made
