Perfectly captures the spirit and art style of the original, literally flawless +5 Yuri +10

I do not regret following the slungus. My feed has been blessed. Several times. At least 3 times a minute. Yes.

They did their research. The only departure I can find from the original and post-release model sheets is that the tail is much larger and cleaner than usual. Otherwise it's on-point.

What, were you expecting total technical correctness in a half-shitpost from a total stranger on the internet? lol they probably just cobbled it together. It still gets across the statistical significance either way, anyway. This doesn't matter. People matter. Address the subject or just stfu

Y'know, I saw a video specifically on how Sybil would be balanced in SSB. I'd love to see a mod for her, she's just such a perfect character for a platform fighter.

You know, I genuinely thought that ralsei was a girl by the end of chapter one, and it wasn't until my second playthrough that I started noticing the "he"s and whatnot. It's so fun to dissect his journey and how he projects himself because he is spiritually feminine and I love him for it

Your pedantism is well placed, but also, mention the elephant lol, that still means one in six have suicidal ideation and I don't think those people should really be on the front lines (it's not about who is more useful doing what, it's about how we treat our own people)

@polygoncherub.bsky.social Your work on the Slime Rancher 1 & 2 is spectacular, I'm so glad to see you've done other things and are doing other things.

Boy, I sure do hope the accelerated pace of introspection won't cause a sudden meltdown, resulting in rash behavior such as abandonment and/or betrayal. And in the event that happens, I sure hope that Audrey can handle it and it'll make their relationship stronger! I sincerely wish them the best

Yeah, I second this, it reminded me of Ōkami. If you keep all the character animations down to key frames with no interpolation you can make it work, too, although idk if that's up with your vision :( The new one looks good too, this is just my gripe.

It's not just community, it's also support. If the platform only has a couple thousand people and you have a novel problem, it's highly likely you'll have to get in contact with someone. And because it's so small, there's a high likelihood of there being a problem :/

I don't normally record or post game clips, but this has gotta be the most bizarre NPC malfunction I think I've ever seen in my 2 thousand hours playing this dumb space game

I saw somebody online describing it as capital culture, to prioritize huge gains for short-term goals over small gains in a long-term goal that amounts to something bigger. It's for losers who can't be bothered to learn it bc they don't care. It's a "now interest", not a "later interest."

As somebody who is deeply interested in AI architecture and research, I feel the same fuckin way dawg- er, foxx It's such a waste of resources, and is often damaging to cognition if not used very carefully. That dopamine loop of saying a thing and getting a result, that easy, is genuinely harmful.

I can see it through how she expresses herself. Val's grip on a principle of hate is loosening. I hope the meeting at Val's place ends well, but I know it won't... Damn you, standard yet effective character change arc. I would offer you my whole dollar a month if I could, you deserve it sm, thank u

I kinda wanna know what peoples stance on AI is, if the artist using it, is actually a proper artist who went on to study machine learning and train a diffusion model exclusively on their own work.

Minecraft. Yes, I'm a zoomer lol. Got me into engineering with redstone. Also has a wild aesthetic and story when you think about it (in single player, you've got the entire world to yourself, and nobody to share it with. Steve searches for clues on his people, and only finds long abandoned ruins).

I agree that the fruit fly brain that scientists are simulating, that's more human than these word overprocessors lol. But if it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, waddles like a duck... It's probably a duck. It effectively can reason. Just soullessly.

Whether or not it philosophically "thinks" is up for debate, but whether or not it performs the same basic functions that we do in a thought process isn't. It expresses the ability to see a problem, see its parameters, notice correlations, and come to a solution without human assistance (mostly).

As much as I'd love to see this loser wallow in the piss stain he's made of the legal system as the scammy scumbag he is... You can't prove you didn't do something. That's not how the system works.

TIL that haxeflixel is actually an excellent foundation for a super simple game engine while you learn how to do the basics of game and tool development. Was able to just jump into a completely alien and huge FNF mod and fix a bug in a matter of hours. Never done that before lol.

Context: I'm pansexual, fem-leaning cis male, I have dated a guy before. It's just that River is so masculine by comparison. Idk. It is GLARINGLY uncomfortable. I seriously wish I could unlearn that behavior ;-; I think it comes from my Midwestern US roots.

tractorbeam @tractorbeam.bsky.social · 04/09/2026
Stories like Cyberpunk 2077 deliberately try to avoid this issue, and I'm reflecting on my discomfort when River Ward hits on fem V... Masculinity is so much more fragile than femininity, man. It's so damn uncomfortable. Like alarms went off. I wish I could unlearn this lol, he seems great otherwise

If you are at all a nerd and like the idea of making things in the game with a small and highly interconnected community, take a look at Resonite. They've even got quite a few of the furry crowd and what is possible is genuinely insane (ask about meta memes). Totally free.

RIP Dolley Parton, she was a genuine blessing to an unfathomable number of people. Let it be known that her kindness will not be forgotten.
