The jacket is heavily beaded and covered in floss and ribbon embroidery. There are also two necklaces with blue pendants around the form's neck and a pair of green drop earrings pinned close by.

Photo of my Howl Pendragon cosplay on a sewing form, view from the back. Black pants pinned to the sewing form with a pink and blue jacket thrown over the shoulders, like the Studio Ghibli design. The jacket is heavily beaded and covered in floss and ribbon embroidery. The back of the jacket shows the scene from the Ghibli film as a young Howl standing on a meadow catches a falling star. There are other falling stars in the night sky. The meadow is completely beaded and framed in a golden velvet ribbon. Embroidered with golden floss beneath the golden ribbon reads: "You who swallowed a falling star, o' heartless man".

Finally finished my rewatch of seasons 1 and 2 of Kimi ni Todoke, and watched the new (!) season 3, and man, it's nice to have something NICE. It was the anime that made me fall in love with shojo when I watched it over 10 years ago, and getting a new season after so long was such a gift.

Apropos of nothing, I've been watching "From Bureaucrat to Villainess: Dad's Been Reincarnated!" and it's one of the funniest and most adorable anime I've seen in a while. A 52 year old salary-man dies and is reincarnated as the villainess of an otome game, and just completely rolls with it.

This is really cool, and an insane bargain at the $150 asking price. Runs MiSTer cores, so you not only get practically flawless PSX gameplay but dozens of other console and arcade cores, and it works with original PSX controllers and memory cards. (And even discs with an upcoming dock accessory!)

Got a Steam Deck and confused about which of your games work on it? Wonder what those little icons mean? Here's a handy official guide to help you start with PC gaming on the go!

Four Steam Deck compatibility icons with descriptions.

-

Unsupported: Game runs and plays perfectly on Steam Deck.

Probably runs 60fps with supersampling.

-

Unknown: You need to enable trackpad mouse or gyro joystick, but there's a perfect community control layout that already exists.

-

Playable: Everything works 100% perfect out of the box, but there's one bit of menu text that's 12pt instead of 14pt so we can't verify this.

The system keyboard may pop up but it works flawlessly, which is a problem for some reason.

-

Verified: Game performs at an average of 32fps on Low settings. Every cutscene is broken without installing ProtonGE. Buttons don't work for some reason.

Poetry Foundation not fucking around with today's poem of the day www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/89897/...

A screenshot of Maggie Smith's "Good Bones"
Life is short, though I keep this from my children.
Life is short, and I’ve shortened mine
in a thousand delicious, ill-advised ways,
a thousand deliciously ill-advised ways
I’ll keep from my children. The world is at least
fifty percent terrible, and that’s a conservative
estimate, though I keep this from my children.
For every bird there is a stone thrown at a bird.
For every loved child, a child broken, bagged,
sunk in a lake. Life is short and the world
is at least half terrible, and for every kind
stranger, there is one who would break you,
though I keep this from my children. I am trying
to sell them the world. Any decent realtor,
walking you through a real shithole, chirps on
about good bones: This place could be beautiful,
right? You could make this place beautiful.

This is a beautiful tribute.

kyle_maclachlan Forty-two years ago, for reasons beyond my comprehension, David Lynch plucked me out of obscurity to star in his first and last big budget movie. He clearly saw something in me that even I didn't recognize. I owe my entire career, and life really, to his vision.
What I saw in him was an enigmatic and intuitive man with a creative ocean bursting forth inside of him. He was in touch with something the rest of us wish we could get to.
Our friendship blossomed on Blue Velvet and then Twin Peaks and I always found him to be the most authentically alive person I'd ever met.
David was in tune with the universe and his own imagination on a level that seemed to be the best version of human. He was not interested in answers because he understood that questions are the drive that make us who we are. They are our breath.
While the world has lost a remarkable artist, l've lost a dear friend who imagined a future for me and allowed me to travel in worlds I could never have conceived on my own.
I can see him now, standing up to greet me in his backyard, with a warm smile and big hug and that Great Plains honk of a voice. We'd talk coffee, the joy of the unexpected, the beauty of the world, and laugh.
His love for me and mine for him came out of the cosmic fate of two people who saw the best things about themselves in each other.
I will miss him more than the limits of my language can tell and my heart can bear. My world is that much fuller because I knew him and that much emptier now that he's gone.
David, I remain forever changed, and forever your Kale. Thank you for everything.

It’s pretty crazy that retro gaming continues to find ways to make use of the absolute bleeding edge of technology to accurately simulate an $80 TV from 1994.

Raygan Kelly @raygan.me · 12/01/2025

The new hotness in retro game emulation requires a 240hz display and a beefy CPU. It’s a new technique for black frame insertion that emulates the scanning of a CRT electron gun. I wish I had the setup to try this. blurbusters.com/crt-simulati...

I’ve always wanted to use this vintage Power Center with my retro computing setup but the 40 year old neon bulbs in the switches had developed an annoying flicker. Someone on Reddit recently posted a replacement part number, so I guess I’m about to become a power strip hobbyist.
