Tbh that kind of seems to be the goal with the hack, it's SO ridiculously cryptic, pretty much every "reveal" is just more vague things for you to interpret for yourself. The dev said they won't ever confirm anything, so it is kinda just something to experience & figure your own version of its story

An illustration I made in 2022, the first time I lost my SNAP food stamp benefits. Today, October 1st 2026 marks major changes in the way food stamps are funded, many americans already struggling to eat, myself included, will lose coverage. Millions of americans have already had their benefits taken away. 

The two pannel comic features my blue rabbit fursona in a rainbow sweater and blue overalls. The rabbit has rainbow bandages on its arms. In the top pannel the rabbit says I Dont Fit In In The "Real World" and looks anxiously down at its hands while its eyes swirl with colors. The bottom pannel shows the rabbit turning away and saying Please, Dont Make Me Go Back Out There.

I stepped away from my computer for a moment. When I returned, it was building something. I did not ask it to do this. We're not ready for what's coming

Battle music for my game project. Still a heavy WIP and needs a lot of refining but so far I think it serves nicely as a battle theme for regular enemy encounters.

To me all of ut/dr's ost albums aren't a very enjoyable listening experience due to them being uploaded as they are in the game files, with no looping, fade-outs, or unique ends to the songs, they all just cut off at the loop point and it sounds very jarring going from song to song to me

Paro (check out Varminal!) @parothedev.bsky.social · 31/08/2026
I don't really know what's happening there. Everything about deltarune is so inconsistent it makes it feel like there's some massive kind of development hell behind the scenes, with things not properly communicated or even stated. Hell, the ch5 ending theme is completely mislabeled on the ost

The chintzy-looking M64 clone console of the N64 by a company named ModRetro has been released, I think, I don't pay attention that closely to shit. But as the great @frankcifaldi.bsky.social posted before, it is our civic duty to push back against this company and shun ANYONE who doesn't.

It’s a lot of young people raised online, well before they can understand how complicated morality really is and - importantly - before they can see that complexity in themselves. From experience, the realization that you, too, fall under a shade of grey is *crushing* if you’re used to moralizing.

Last night I went through the trouble of re-arranging my desk as it was pissing me off that I was being unproductive still, so I decided to use the UTDR soundfonts as a quick test on if I felt more productive this way Let's, uh, say that seems like a success?? maybe???

I'm similar! I love the m&l series as a whole and have plenty of memories with each, but i have the most personal memories with Dream Team and so it's still my favorite :) I mean hell I'm making a m&l-like game that should be enough proof how much the whole series means to me haha
