NEW: Remedy's latest game, Control Resonant, is filled with art galleries. The galleries are filled with real art When I began talking to Remedy about it, I was delighted to discover who the artists are: many are the game developers' parents My story... www.gamefile.news/p/control-re...

WILLEM DAFOE’s lived in the same SoHo loft for 46yrs. Despite 4 decades of super-stardom, he walks everywhere, takes the subway, and moves around the ‘Big Apple’ like any other New Yorker.

Moche vessels are always great, but take a look at this black one, shaped as a duck warrior, found in 1992 at the ceremonial site of Huaca de la Luna, Peru.

I created this photo using recent research so it relaxes your brain when you pause to look at the details. As I'm sometimes too unwell to post here (not good mental health due to PMDD & recovering from a breakdownA) it would help so much if you could maybe RT my photo. Many thanks 🌿

I got a very silly lens today. This is a Leitz Wetzlar Colorplan, a film projector lens, mated to a normal camera lens exoskeleton. Minimum focus is 30cm, maximum is about 2 meters, but god is that picture gorgeous. Nice FOV, gorgeous depth of field, I cannot wait to use this weird little freak.

I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

This is incredibly important - mass protests are good and necessary but very few take the logical next steps needed to affect real change - we need to learn to channel our rage into organising, so we are strong and united enough to enforce our demands

The Way of Light teaches that non-holy magic is a vile inheritance of the Dragons slain ages ago. Its followers wear ever-burning monster-tallow candles that sputter near magic or monsters. Their beliefs are factually correct, but their methods of enforcing them verge on heresy.

Your daily affirmation: I'm strong enough, I'm smart enough, and it’s ok if folks are afraid of my grasping tentacles, bristling teeth, and resemblance to legendary creatures printed on old maps.
