store.steampowered.com/bundle/89807... We finally got around to setting up a bundle of all our games (okay, both our games, but it'll get bigger). now if you buy splatter & jenny together it's just under 20 bucks. save a whole three dollars, use your savings on like 40% of a hamburger.

conventional wisdom for the entire time i've been programming has always been "less code is better". the idea that we must write more code faster is ridiculous. the problem has never been rate of output

this is a good article that i have one objection to: i use blender because it is free. autodesk maya starts at $168 per month. that software could suck my dick every time i booted it up and it would still not be worth that price.

saw a screengrab of Trump sharing AI slop where he was standing in front of a fascist robot army. this stuff kinda makes clear exactly what nazi esotericism and superweapon research was: fantasizing. the fascist aesthetic demands power projection that is impossible irl so they have to make shit up.

gta 6 makes me wish we lived in a world where people made mid-budget 4-8 hour crime thriller games. i don't really want to run over a bunch of random NPCs in an open world but i do want to play a tightly-written & well acted crime story with cool action sequences.

ok i got one more spider-woman in me. this one's based on the 1970s spider-man manga by kazumasa hirai, kousei ono, and ryoichi ikegami. which you should read because it's one of the best spider-man runs ever written

two illustrations of yuuko komori (spider-woman). she's a Japanese teenager with a bob cut. in the left illustration, she's wearing a blue dress while tossing away her spider-woman mask and shouting "I've had enough of being a hero praised by society! Fuck this hero bullshit!" in the right illustration she's wearing her spider-costume and doing the classic spidey squat.

enjoying the whole petra fanart trend. i really think y'all should be looking at the outfits artists were making peter wear back in the '80s because there's a lot of material there!

petra parker, wearing a black crop top with "ANIMAL" in white block print and a pair of cutoff blue jeans.

clipping from an '80s issue of Amazing Spider-Man (art by John Romita Jr). Peter Parker, viewed from behind, walks into a pool party. he is wearing the same Animal crop top and jean shorts.
