Pumpkin lantern no.1 for Halloween 2026! Hikaru from The Summer Hikaru Died… #thesummerhikarudied#pumpkin#halloween#halloween2026#jackolantern#pumpkinlantern I was certainly over ambitious with this one, choosing a basis image with too many shades. Still turned out OK. Not super amazing but ok.
Hey @perfectrandom.bsky.social , just wondering, why in the uk eShop is Sulfur for Switch 1 on preorder sale, while Sulfur for Switch 2 NOT on preorder sale? Will buying one get you the other for free? Also does the Switch 2 version have mouse controls? Inquiring minds want to know!
One of the funniest things about the Tesla Roadster is that it sure as hell won’t be ROAD legal or safe. If those jets go off at any time that isn’t driving up a vertical ramp or jumping over collapsing road, or jumping over parked cars, it will cause an accident. And probably violently explode.
There’s something I wish someone could explain to me. So many ads on YouTube are ridiculously long. Used to be that an ad for a show would be a trailer. Now it’s just a full episode of the actual reality show. Or if they’re showing off a tabletop system, a full game session. Why?
Adverts on YouTube are sometimes every… five minutes. No one wants to watch an episode of a full show in the middle of a video essay. You’ll forget what you were actually watching. Who decides to do this?
Love how this band reacted to a question about AI.
TNM: As the music industry continues to change with AI and social media, how do you plan to keep your music human and authentic?
Kid Sistr: By not having a computer write it. The process of making art can’t be skipped. It’s the whole point.
I was looking up a band I just heard a track from, called Kid Sistr, but I saw a track called “Boys in Skirts” and got worried it might be trans erasure or anti trans, do I decided to look them up. They’re a queer band so hopefully I was panicking over nothing, but they had a really awesome quote.
Woah, Zavvi has gone into administration. Not that surprising I suppose, not seen one of their stores in a very long time, and not bought anything from their webpage in an age too. But what does surprise me is that there’s no closing down sale, they’ve just immediately stopped all selling.
I’m really confused about why YouTube does this. I’m watching a video and an advert comes up. Nothing weird so far. But then one of the two ads turns out to be a full episode of something. Like a full length video. The timeline doesn’t work so you can’t tell how long exactly. But probably 30mins.
You can skip it after the first few seconds, but why do ads seem to be designed to be skipped these days, not watched. It feels like they’re not even supposed to sell, but more to encourage you to pay to turn ads off.
"Lord of the Divine Writing"
A digital piece featuring Thoth, the Egyptian God of writing, wisdom, magic, the moon, and many other things. :>
I'm super excited and happy about how this turned out. I'm feeling more and more comfortable with my digital art style.

Know what would be interesting to do? An animated series that captures that animation style and music style of transformers G1, but, while not a parody, is a kind spoof, but still serious (not without humour, but not focused on humour) with modern story beats and sensibilities.
… that they’re extremely young and inexperienced and that they never had anyone to actually teach them tactics, only old story and legends. And that they don’t actually want to hurt the enemy leader, who they reveal is suffering from dementia or robot equivalent and needs help.

Like, some characters might still act like their in an 80’s cartoon, but be called out for it, but then to throw that on its head by giving a reason for them to act like that. Like an Optimus Prime like leader who comes up with naive, almost childlike plans, but when called out, they reveal…
