Flat illustration of a Mourning Dove, Blue Jay, and Chipping Sparrow each holding a fall leaf in their beak and walking in a parade-like manner. This is my US (eastern) version of last year's UK-focused illustration!

this is why @rofish.bsky.social had to force people to log in to see the Starmen forums – attendance was on the decline because its an ancient forum, and now its REALLY declining because its annoying to access. this sucks!

Presented without context
A watercolor and pen drawing of first, a delicious bowl of ramen. Then Samus in her Ravenous armor pulling noodles out of the bowl with chopsticks while her hand emanates a magenta glow. Various ingredients are spilling out the bowl, but she don't care. The text says METROID RAMENOUS.

Still Life of the Remnants of a Meal with a Lunging Cat -Alexandre-François Desportes, 1717
Food on a table, some of it fancy - I think that's a coconut on the left, which must have been exotic - also ham, peaches, bread, wine. A rich man's table, painted to celebrate his wealth and the artist's skill. The main point of interest is the skinny, nervous cat reaching out a paw to grab a slice of ham off a silver plate. I wish him luck.

today's hardware designers could never conceive of what Kazuo Kawasaki was doing in 1996
A colorful retro computer setup featuring a purple keyboard, a small teal touchpad, and a teal circular CD-ROM drive with a matching keypad-style controller resting on top. The hardware is arranged against a dark background in a vivid purple-and-turquoise color scheme.

All you have to do to get through a hard game is to give yourself the space to adapt and improve. The pushback builds you as a player and makes the payoff so much sweeter, baby. #blog #gaming

It was removed from Tubu. Heebee sold the IP. Poodee won't play it in your region. It's not on Dippy. You can't find it on Weeno. Gumpy lost the rights to Pheebo. Poob was removed from the app store. The FBI have issued a warning to Poob. 3 Poob executives were arrested today.

Dwarf Fortress co-creator Tarn Adams says he has no need for GenAI, because his artists are bursting with cool, weird ideas like meat biomes and sphincter doors. "[Tolkien] didn’t have a sphincter door. I mean, I don’t think he did… Who knows what’s going on in, like, Minas Morgul though."

FWIW I found this after someone posted about it on metafilter a few days ago. Idk if that's indicative of their continued relevance, or if I'm just an outlier for still hanging around there lol. I hope more places pick this up as you absolutely nailed the kind of forum writing style I grew up with

As long as I live I'll never forget seeing old video of the moratorium announcement in a marine ecology course; fishermen so incensed they tried to bash down locked doors to stop the announcement news conference. Many careers worth of effort to try to restore this fishery www.cbc.ca/player/play/...
cbc.ca
Cod moratorium called 'the biggest layoff in Canadian history' in 1992
Fishermen in St. John's react angrily to the government announcement of a ban on cod fishing. Aired July 2, 1992 on CBC's The National.

I've seen everyone sharing that US Dialect Quiz so I decided to make my own, much crappier, CANADIAN DIALECT QUIZ to guess where in Canada you're from
A flow chart I have created with multiple questions and the answers determine where you're from.

Question 1 is do you call it a hydro bill (which then branches down to ON, QC, BC, MB) or an electric bill (which then branches down to SK, AB, NS, NB, PEI, NL)

Question 2 is do you call it a cabin (BC, MB, AB, SK) cottage (ON and atlantic) camp (northern Ontario) chalet (QC) or bungalow (Cape Breton)

To delineate BC from MB: do you call it dinner or supper

To delineate southern Ontario rural or big city: have you heard of a stag & doe

To delineate SK from AB: do you call a hoodie a bunnyhug

And finally to delineate NL from the other atlantic provinces: whaddayat? (Correct answer: dis is it b'y)

Hello! I've been radio silent because I keep taking on huge projects- whoops! But I did take on this mini commission for my dear friend @wanderingboots.bsky.social!
A painted miniature of an Aarakocra that resembles a Long-Eared Owl of eastern Ontario. He is holding a bow with nocked arrow. He is wearing blue and green clothing, and his feathers are warm tones of brown and yellow. The same miniature, but facing to the viewer's leftThe miniature is facing away from the camera. The warm yellow to dark brown gradient of his wing feathers are in focus. The other wing is in the camera's focus, as well as some details on the his pack and clothing.
