I love Caine/Moon but also I hate it when I run into people who say it's the only Caine ship that "makes sense" because they're both artificial computer people rather than any of the brain scans.

"People won't sympathize with her anymore if they see her start killing people" bud you're writing a script for a *horror* movie, that's why it's called *horror*, what are we even doing anymore.

There's probably whole treasure troves of art on Instagram that I'm just not seeing because the braingenuises at Meta decided to make the worst search function ever conceived.

@vergolophus.bsky.social Based off of the wonderful concept art of Vergolophus. When I saw the concept art that they made, my first thought was the scene in the movie of where the Beast fights off the wolves. Gummy wolves in this bit.. #Caine #TADC
Caine in the form Beast Mode fighting off 3 gummy gators in a forest landscape covered in snow in moon light. one lands on his back, another is driven in the snow by his left clawed hand. Another gator is biting his right arm standing his ground in the cold snow. Seems a familiar scene..

people often talk about how actors playing evil characters doesn't make them evil but I think a version of this way more people are susceptible is assuming actors embody the positive traits and messages of characters they play

written about this before but whatever.

Videogames as an artform have a problem with nostalgia. Not that people shouldn’t have nostalgia. Or that games shouldn’t draw from the past. But instead the weight we give to nostalgia.

When people go back to enjoy old games, we assume it’s a nostalgia thing. Do people assume that with books? Or movies? Or music? People certainly do go back in time with  those mediums for nostalgia! It happens! I know when my sister is listening to certain cheesy old boyband pop or punk she’s often having a musical nostalgia trip! That’s cool! But we still don’t ASSUME, CONSTANTLY thats why people go back to stuff.

People like old stuff because it’s cool and interesting. It’s historic. People go watch Metropolis still, but how many people alive could even be nostalgic for a movie like that?

I almost want to see the word Nostalgia excised from discussions about video games – not because nostalgia is bad but because we over use it to the point where it’s actually harmful I think.

I mean I made IWBTG and am making an NES style game right now and even for me, the obsession with ‘nostalgia’ seems crazy.

Old stuff is cool. I know this because I see a lot of you kids on my tumblr feed talking about games I know you didn’t grow up with. It’s like finding your parents record or CD collection. Thinking the primary greatness of old games is bringing back memories of eating cereal and playing games on a saturday morning is a great injustice, even if those memories for some are perfectly worthwhile things.

I think that rather than trying to gamble on a set that has several figures I don't want, I'm just going to pay the extra nine dollars + shipping to get a guaranteed Ringmaster Caine doing the silly pose on the podium.

The AI backlash is completely the fault of the dishonest hype merchants whose only talent is innovating new ways of lying. You pissed people off, now everyone hates you (justified) and your tech (less justified, but again, your fault)

I think it's closer to the truth that LLMs *can* save time on *some tasks* which can be valuable *if* you monitor them and check their output. But that doesn't get you a trillion dollars so they have to squint into the middle distance and say stupid sci fi bullshit instead

the reason “AI will create so much abundance we will have a utopian society” rhetoric falls so flat is that the people building it will never, ever share their bounty unless it is taken from them and we all know it

I like that Caine doesn't have a neck but has arms and legs because that means he has the same body type as Dynamite Headdy for the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis.

A digital fanart piece of Caine from The Amazing Digital Circus but he's a horrible vampire ringmaster wearing the Dark Magus armor set from the game V Rising. His face is covered in blood despite the attempt to dab it away with a handkerchief that's way too small for the job. There's a spooky circus tent in the background. Haha Caine you are eating my family.

Nothing too special. Just a Princess and her legal parental guardian/royal babysitter from the Legend of Zelda game about the trains. #Art #Fanart #Nintendo #Legendofzelda #tloz #spirittracks
A digital fanart piece depicting both Chancellor Cole and Princess Zelda from the Nintendo DS game "The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks". Chancellor Cole is standing to the left and is a heavy-set man with red hair, glasses, a cane, and green clothing including a pair of hats perched on his head. He looks bored as he stands next to the lovely Princess Zelda, who is standing to attention but looks mildly nervous as her long blonde hair flows in the wind. Princess Zelda is a good head taller than him.
