Yeah, I feel like my extended FC group does unreal the first few weeks it's out (at best) and then everyone gets bored quick and falls off.

I enjoyed the episode for the first two thirds, but I do feel like it overstayed its welcome. Which, like, seemed to be part of the bit? By the end even the people playing were also like "okay I think it's time for us to be done now," but yeah I too was left wishing it wrapped up sooner.

I hope to one day have the confidence FedEx tracking must have, as it continues to claim that my package will arrive today despite still being halfway across the country.

Trying to read something and keep getting distracted by the overlay-spaced-out justified text and the fact that it repeatedly uses the wrong type of dash. I can't tell if it's actually poor readability or if having done print media in the past has ruined me.

Using the internet be like

An edit of the "The illusion... of free choice" meme, originally a 2009 comic from "The Abstruse Goose."

A cow stands before two paths, one labeled "Sign in with password," one labeled "Sign in without password." The viewer's perspective reveals what the cow cannot see: both paths lead to the same place, labeled "We've sent a verification code to your email."

Your bad art is better than AI slop.

four frame comic. first frame shows a typical AI poster that says : All chatgpt flyers look the same, especially with this font! the text above it reads : I won't go to your event if the poster was made by AI. second frame shows a still frame from a Hank Green youtube video. text above reads : I won't read your post or email and I won't watch your video if they were made with AI. third frame shows an AI restaurant poster of burgers and chicken in a window. text reads : I won't patronize your shop or restaurant if it is advertised with AI. last frame shows an MS paint window with badly written : Your bad art is better than AI slop. text reads : if you can't take the time or make the effort to interact with me yourself, then why should I do it?

I do imagine UMAD weapons are BiS for all tanks because it lets you put DHT on them, something they refuse to let tanks naturally have...

T.J. L @tj09.net · 03/08/2026

Yep, working on that for the slight bump in UMAD. A whole 0.5% DPS increase. though apparently for PLD BiS is actually UMAD weapon + Relic shield for that extra 9 DPS that'll totally matter.

Exhilarating, is it not? The power of the Sun! Solaire of Astora from Dark Souls, made as a milestone piece for my VTuber Summer Slam stream! #pixelart #ドット絵 #art #fanart #darksouls

16 bit pixel art half-body portrait of a knight in full armor. He wears a great helm with a red plume, a green fur mantle, chain mail, and a beige surcoat emblazoned with a sun. A sword rests at his hip, and his gaze is turned slightly upwards. The art depicts the character Solaire of Astora from the game Dark Souls.

The same character as depicted in the previous image, posed with his arms raised and outstretched. The art depicts the character Solaire of Astora in the iconic "Praise the Sun!" pose from Dark Souls.

well I just went and fixed a few bugs I came across, but the main thing with Leetles is that the adopts are submitted by people using the site. It's a bit of a chicken-and-egg problem in that regard--if no one makes anything because no one is on there, no one will want to be on there.

I did not remember putting this in my phone until I got an unexpected calendar notification but uh Happy anniversary to the hit horse_ebooks tweet.

A screenshot of Google Calendar. A reminder has fired for an event titled "Everything happens so much." The event repeats yearly.

Given the nature of "territory control" as a seemingly-clear progression, how often did you run into friction when wanting something to *feel* nonlinear (via environment, etc) even when the underlying structure is largely linear? The Infinite Forest section details some of that, I suppose.

damn, situation really hasn't gotten better since the early 2010s when I last tried? ntfs-3g worked *okay* back then for shared media, but writes from Linux resulted in a tooon of fragmentation that needed to be cleaned up.

A reminder that the only answer to "did you use AI to develop this game" that will gain you goodwill instead of get you paraded as money-hungry ghouls is "absolutely the fuck not, we take pride in our craft" www.rockpapershotgun.com/tomb-raider-...

rockpapershotgun.com

Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis studio have used "AI-assisted tools" during development, but swear "any AI-assisted assets were either replaced or refined by humans"

Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis has been delayed to February 2027 and had an AI generated content disclosure added to its Steam page.

Finally made some time to start working on art of my #destiny2 Guardian right as the announcement happens. Timing can be funny sometimes.

Two pixel art images of the same Destiny 2 guardian, a titan in white and gold armor. On the left image, the guardian's helmet is removed, revealing them to be a teal Exo.

I haven't played D2 in a bit since I stopped having anyone to play it *with*, but that doesn't change the fact that over the course of nearly a decade I spent thousands of hours in this world. The raids, the stories, the community puzzles are all unforgettable memories that I'll carry with me.

I can't believe we're going back to this kind of discourse but: Using references isn't cheating Using 3D mannequins and photo references is STANDARD, even for professional artists Shaming people and pushing them to draw exclusively from memory is harmful and can set back people who are learning
