The best part of being an artist is that you can just draw whatever dumb idea comes to your head at 1am
A scene parodying the Neon Genesis Evangelion scene of Asuka and her Eva unit getting pierced by the spear of longinus. In this scene, Linguini and Remy from Pixar's Ratatouille take the place of the EVA unit and Asuka respectively. Linguinis eye is pierced by a fork version of the spear and Remy is depicted in an inset where he is grabbing his eye and screaming like the anime. There are anime subtitles at the bottom that say "AHHHHHHHHH!"

When I say that you have to be leery of who critiques your art, your life will depend on it. The wrong person giving you critique will have you fighting with your own creativity, leaving you mentally unwell. Especially if you don't have enough people around you encouraging your art

"Devolver and its board are seeking shareholder approval to delist, believing becoming a private company is in the best interests of Devolver, its employees, its partners, and its Shareholders as a whole," a spokesperson for the company told GamesIndustry.biz.

"We’ve made an announcement about this.

"The purpose is simple and positive. Being private will allow the Devolver Digital team, especially the finance, legal, and executive team, to singularly focus on the long-term health of the company and less on satisfying the requirements of the public market, which have nothing to do with being a successful game publisher."

Standing Horned Figure with Spiral at Center
carved jade
c. 4700-2500 BCE
Hongshan culture
China
Universal symbolism!
This image shows a rare Neolithic jade standing horned figure from the Hongshan Culture in China, dating approximately from 4700-2500 BCE.
The artifact is crafted from jade (nephrite), which was highly revered by the Hongshan people in northeastern China.
The stylized figure features a bovine or bull-like head with prominent horns, and a distinctive spiral motif carved into its torso.
It is a fascinating example of ritual jade carving from this period, although the exact function of such figures remains a subject of study.

Panel 1: Shen is sitting at a table with a sketched out drawing of a tree on a grassy hill with a cloud behind it. He's surrounded with different colors of markers or crayons, and is sweating with a frustrated expression, holding a green one, and leaning his head on his fist. He says "What color should I make the TREE here? And the SKY?? Ugh, this is so hard."

Panel 2: Someone behind him puts a hand gently on his shoulder.

Panel 3: The person is revealed to be JoJo's Bizarre Adventure creator Hirohiko Araki, wearing a shirt and tie under a sweatshirt and smiling gently as light shines from behind and around his head like he's a saint. He says "Everything can be whatever color you want."

Panel 4: Shen is swiveling his head around to look at Araki and saying "You're SO right, Hirohiko Araki", but judging by the dark circles under his eyes, his jumbled pupils that look like messy spirals, and the fact that there is no hand on his shoulder, he might be hallucinating all of this.

Today in 1983, “WarGames” opened. It would go on to earn ~$80,000,000. “SHALL WE PLAY A GAME?” In 2008, screenwriter Lawrence Lasker recounted to “Wired” how he arranged a private screening for family friend President Ronald Reagan at Camp David the following evening. www.wired.com/2008/07/ff-w...
An original one-sheet color poster for the film “WarGames.” In the center, Matthew Broderick sits at a computer monitor showing a map of the United States and multiple lines depicting missiles flying toward various US cities. Ally Sheedy stands behind him, her left hand on his left shoulder. Their smiling faces are reflected in the monitor's screen. At the top are eight large color screens from inside the North American Aerospace Defense Command displaying similar information. One says “Missile Warning.” Another reads, “Sub-Launch Detection.” People manning desks with smaller computer monitors sit or stand beneath and behind the large displays. Below this image is the tagline, “Is it a game, or is it real?” At the bottom are the film's title, in large red capital letters, and the main credits (in smaller white letters).

Bizarre promotional flipbook distributed in 2003 as part of Nintendo's "Who Are You?" marketing campaign, featuring inspirational text alongside a sequence of images of a person transforming into Donkey Kong.
Who are you? Are you your job? Your possessions?
Or, perhaps you are your actions?
Are you what you want to be?
Are you who your parents think you are?
Are you what you were born with?
Or, are you more?
There are alternate lives for us to live. And alternate people for us to be.
Nintendo gives us the opportunity to explore our braver, smarter, more capable selves. It gives us a chance to unleash what's in us. To channel all our pent-up emotions.
Nintendo offers you the widest range of personalities to live your other life through - your game life.
Who are you?
[person transforming into Donkey Kong]

game character is at the bottom of what looks like some stone steps, close to some trees. they are saying: this looks like a tree from far away, but it's just more of that computer generated crap.
this comes from the point and click command 'look at the trees'.
down the bottom of the screen is a face portrait of the character and the point and click commands: walk to, look at (highlighted), take, use, talk to, swallow, give, push. to the right of this is mostly blank boxes for inventory.

Had a dream that there was global panic about the world running out of oxygen, Nintendo was the only video game company to make a statement about it, and the internet collectively spent its final hours on Earth debating whether Nintendo was being genuine or not
A fabricated statement from Nintendo of America's Twitter account addressing a fictitious scenario in which the Earth's oxygen supply is presumed to be depleting at a rapid pace, leaving humanity with mere days to live.

"This is Miyamoto. On behalf of everyone who is employed at Nintendo Co. LTD and its subsidiaries, we deeply mourn the countless human lives which will be lost due to the depletion of the global oxygen supply. To anyone who has ever played one of our games, we are eternally grateful to have created long-lasting fun and memories for you. To ease the suffering of families and children across the world, the Mario Kart World game for the Nintendo Switch 2 system will be available as a free download on Nintendo eShop for the foreseeable future. We hope this small gesture of kindness will ease the pain as humanity prepares for a worst-case scenario."

The statement is distastefully plastered with logos for Nintendo and Nintendo Switch 2, as well as with a render of Mario from Mario Kart World.A fabricated Twitter thread responding to the fabricated Nintendo statement.

John Default Profile Picture: "No one read this statement and thought it was distasteful? Why did Miyamoto think this would help anyone?"

NintenDeen: "Simple: Nintendo is so depraved that they'd exploit a global crisis to boost the player count of the failed Mario Kart World and force consumers back into the Switch 2 ecosystem to boost sales and player numbers."A fabricated Twitter thread responding to the fabricated Nintendo statement.

PlayStation Nation: "What the fuck are you doing falsely advertising sales during these trying times? I went to the website and Mario Kart World is still selling for $80 USD."

Kremling Kevin: "If you actually read the statement, it clearly says the discount is available on Nintendo eShop. Meaning the application on the Switch 2 itself, not the web browser version."

PlayStation Nation: "Point still stands."A fabricated Tweet responding to the fabricated Nintendo statement.

Isaboner: "Nothing for Switch 1 owners?"

According to Motoi Okamoto, Mini-Game Director for Super Mario 64 DS, Shigeru Miyamoto would start midnight crunch sessions for the game's development by walking into the office and announcing "It's Mario time."
"In those days, Miyamoto would come to us at 11 PM, after he finished all of his board-member work, and say, "It's Mario time." At that point, we'd start a planning meeting that would run until 2 AM. At that point, Miyamoto would go home, leaving us with the words, "You should return home soon, for your health." Over the next two or three hours, we'd write the game design documents and summarize the instructions for our artists and programmers. 

It was the craziest crunch time that I've ever experienced in my development career. But if the God of Games was working so much, could we give up? Miyamoto had incredible stamina."

-Motoi Okamoto, Script and Mini-Game Director for Super Mario 64 DS, in a 2017 interview with Chris Kohler from Gamasutra
