I will die on the hill of saying that Metroid is probably the worst game ever made if you're 8, visit your friend that has NES games, you play fucking Metroid get bored as shit for the first two minutes and switch it for THE RETURN OF THE JOKER, or CONTRA or wait you have TOTAL RECALL on VHS??

Quick anatomy tip since I just noticed I was doing it. The human body typically bulges out, so if you want your anatomy to look "lifelike" just make the curves of the body convex, like this, pay close attention to the stomach area, that subtle curvature really sells the space with little work.

sketch of a human body, you can see the biceps and the abdominal region have outward lines that help the anatomy look more fleshed out and lifelike The examples are accentuated by red lines

Just helping with editing here. These bots aren’t sentient. They’re doing what they’re programmed to do. OpenAI, a private company supposedly bound by laws, committed federal crimes.

Random saturday content: a tour of a chocolate/mint teahouse I built in #pokopia this summer. While I wait for a Sinistea/tcha event, the bar is currently run by Gardevoir & friends! It has a greenhouse in the back, a cozy reading room / balcony on the 2nd floor and a shaded roof terrace, too!

By now people basically now my favorite games, but heres my top 10 since 2017, and thats right, no Elden Ring, no Smash, no VII Remake, no SF VI. 2017 itself was fucking crazy, those 3 games were insanely influential to me but this entire list is, couldn’t single one out above the rest.

Hello, I’m Shelly! In the last year or so I’ve been leaning back into traditional art as a spiteful FU to AI bros 😌 #cuteart #traditionalart #animalart

2-panel comic of a yellow duck dressed as a sterotypical doctor.

Panel one:
Doctor Duck is looking at his clipboard with a disgruntled expression, making notes.
“You’re here today because you feel… stupid?” Subtext: is that right?

Panel two:
Doctor Duck is quacking at the reader: “Unfortunately,
there’s no cure for that.”

My brother Frank turned 50 this year so I drew this 🎨 for him as a gift. It's us playing futbol back when we lived in Marbella as kids, this was the back patio ... miss those days 🥰

@jessicasmetana.bsky.social Im always behind on the LeBatard feed, got to the quick “exchange” you had with Tony last Friday and I wanted to congratulate you for such a great, succinct response. I wish that kind of responsibility didn’t keep landing on your shoulders so often. Either way, big fan

Finished the new Ghost in the Shell anime. My favorite adaptation of the work for sure, but still felt unsatisfied by it in the end (and the movie as well) Too much political babble, ends without a real climax, we needed more time with the characters so we could feel for them more.

Its kind of tropey but maybe the best thing about FF VII is that its the worlds most serious man has to save the world with the least serious teammates imaginable. Its comedy gold.

My favorite thing a about French people is how nonchalant they are about sex “Oh? A boob? A pee pee? Whats the big deal, its normal, no? What? Sex? Whats wrong? Everyone has sex, no? Why are you freaking out?” Like, Ive heard that, or something like it, so many times. And they’re right.

People selling 90% fanart prints at comic book conventions to the detriment of people selling OC comics, thats what we’re talking about AGAIN? Yeah it sucks, but its a problem dictated by the people that run those shows. Artists are just trying to survive. Better curated shows = better for everyone

I dont care much about Blizzard games (a realization I came to recently, I never play them) but Im glad a StarCraft FPS is finally announced because that “kind” of project has been in the works at Blizzard for as long as I can remember. They kept getting cancelled and rebooted and cancelled and etc

I was around in 9-11, about a 45 minute commute and its easy to feel angry about not just the tragedy, but the way it was weaponized against an entire group of people and used as a way to enter the "surveillance era" of the US. Its the real beginning of the 21st century.

tbh I think most of you are so used to seeing everything looking like either anime, gta or hello kitty that any other visual style literally breaks your brain The Zelda remake looks like old Lord of the Rings illustration art in 3D. Its fucking rad.

Xavi @ragingspaniard.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

Some of you are friends and mutuals and I like you, but if you said “they should have made Link like he does in this other game” then you don’t understand artists and don’t understand creative drive. Thats boring loser talk. Make something new even if people dislike it, do your own thing.

When I was 16 I was playing Zelda 64 for the first time and I thought it was incredible, eye dropping and also a giant pain in the ass that I dropped when I got to the water temple … so I loaded my friends save at the endgame and beat the game that way So yeah, remake sounds good. Pls fix.
