Small-time animator, hobbyist streamer (twitch.tv/PogoFury), lapsed cartoonist. Enjoys indie games (especially puzzles) and does demo roundups and a few rants. Designed one minigame in 2006 that isn't playable anymore, so I'm kind of a big deal.

it's time to start actively badmouthing advertisers during streams, since streamers don't get any tools to exclude specific brands or industries

between the premise and the art, this entire line has the distinct vibe of something that was made in a panic to avoid getting caught in a lie

This is what I mean about how we have to become snobs. When a bitch says shit like this to you, the move is to immediately become very mean, and laugh at them, and say out loud that you don’t respect them, things of that nature, things Ezra Klein would never do

The Toocheke dev has released an option to pull a tapas site into a wordpress website using their plugin. Wordpress isn't the only option when it comes to websites, but this feature should make it a lot easier for people to make the switch to a website if they want.

An important PSA from Batman
a redraw of a the iconic panel from Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns, in which Batman breaks a gun in half, and says "this is the weapon of the enemy. We do not need it. We will not use it"

In my version, he is breaking the Inktober logo.

Headline nails the core of the "it's complicated" conversation I've been having in multiple circles. I'd love to see a restored Destiny 2, but it sucks that they wouldn't arrive there until after dropping so much of the dev team through a trap door and lopping off foundational chunks of the product

Far too many people believe that if you look at a Steam store page and the game doesn't have an AI disclosure that it's somehow definitive proof that the game didn't use any AI in its development or in the final product. Steam does not enforce disclosures about all uses and also some devs/pubs lie

I've seen so many folks playing Aniimo lately, likely who aren't aware of the GenAI use in the game. Just a PSA that Aniimo DOES indeed include GenAI in both the promotional material and in game.

SILICON VALLEY - The CEOs of OpenAI, Anthropic, and GrokAI have released a statement agreeing that claiming artificial intelligence "could potentially kill all humans" sounds much more awesome than just admitting that they blew a fortune on glorified chatbots.

This is seismic news for fisheries scientists. Northern cod is *the* iconic symbol of total fisheries collapse due to overfishing (and other factors) *and* the iconic symbol of a complete failure to recover for decades afterwards. This is like announcing the complete recovery of bison on land.

When Gloria Steinem co-founded Ms. Magazine in 1972, the honorific “Ms.” was virtually unheard of. Unmarried women were referred to as “Miss [father’s last name]” and married women as “Mrs. [husband’s last name].” “Ms.” was an assertion of individual identity. Women who used it were widely mocked.

A very grumpy man in a sweater is attempting to spend the afternoon indulging his bad mood while listening to music on his portable CD player. Unfortunately, his plans are ruined because the beat of the song is so good that it begins to improve his nasty attitude. The caption reads "Trying to brood but the beat is improving my mood." Artist's Note: I was thinking of the song Fantasy by Mariah Carey. Great beat.

One of my favorite things Peter Cullen did was this very specific Toonami bumper So when Cartoon Network acquired Hamtaro, they didn't know what to do with it so they shoved this wholesome show onto Toonami, and Toonami clearly didn't know how to advertise it Peter's voice just makes it funnier

Hey, if you're coming to SPX? Do a favor to your favorite indie cartoonists and wear a mask. If you're traveling, please wear one on the plane. I got covid at SPX last year and I was sick for several miserable weeks. I spent October indoors. I can't afford to have that happen again this year!
