Sheep vs Gravity

The God of Bad Art gets offerings from all over the world, but in Their temple, They sometimes appear. "Why bad art?" I ask. "It is brave", the God replies. "To try and fail?" "No," the God chuckles. "Any creative work is a defiance of entropy, of Death itself. If you create, you do not fail."

And for your own mental health and wellbeing; don't go into lengthy internet discussions you know will have no outcome. Instead, block & mute. Those are the tools that'll bring you peace, and sends a clear message to those that don't want the best for you or our community.

I feel it's important to share this again. The internet is so hostile toward creators nowadays. I've seen people have their work stolen, and no longer feel comfortable sharing their creations. We can do better. Let's be supportive to the people that make this a better place! 💞

"I was told," said the princess, "that the point of fairy tales is not to tell children dragons exist, but that they can be killed." "Oh, absolutely!" said the dragon. "You agree?" "These rich, selfish, powerful, cruel beings that need killing, did you think they're literally dragons, princess?"

If you told me I’d be redownloading Mapquest in 2026 to try to stay ahead of the surveillance state I wouldn’t have believed you

Pixel Art Studio 1.3 was going to be out today: super cool UV tools, patterns, noises, game engine 1-click integrations. BUT... I found new issues. So hopefully still going to be out this week. Here's a quick sneak peek of the Shared and Linked UVs, it's insanely cool. It's magic. #blender3d #b3d

One of the spotlight items is this Rockhopper plush prototype with a backstory and connection to BC Children's of its own. Cheers to the crew for this incredible inclusion. #CharityAuction #ExtraLife

RimWorld switches engine from Unity to the devs' own, faster Waylith Engine, all apparently without breaking mods somehow https://bit.ly/4iig6Dt

Dwarf Fortress creator Tarn Adams is as tired of genAI in the industry as anyone else, and is pretty set on never using it https://bit.ly/47cqGpr

Shattered Pixel Dungeon v4.0.2 is now releasing! Just a quick followup bugfix patch this time. In particular v4.0.2 fixes a nasty bug added in v4.0.1 that caused crystal weapons to degrade MUCH faster than intended. #gamedev #roguelike

When you send a bug report to Unity, there's a heavily-recommended option to pack up and include a snapshot of the unity project. They send the whole thing, gigs of assets and all. Thinking about all the projects I sent copies to Unity over the years this way. I wonder if they were used for training

Her son carefully lifted his ochre-stained hand from the cave wall and studied the outline. "That's me. My hand." He looked at the other hands. "Do you know all?" "Some are older than me." "That old?" "Hush you," she laughed. "We don't make these to be seen tomorrow, but because today, we live."

Doxxing as a Service: "In one case, Muse unmasked a person whose name had been kept out of news reports for fear of retaliation and harassment. In another, it tied several pseudonymous accounts to the same person. It also matched a private Instagram account to a real person..."

Clicking Google's fun whimsical throwback logo today sends you to an AI chat pre-filled with a goofy prompt and immediately hits you with a warning that it is potentially dangerous to continue. You couldn't make a better commentary on how badly they have fucked up the internet if you tried.

Many games for the GameCube use only a fraction of the storage capacity of the disc. I have analyzed the data to determine what the maximum number of retail Mario games that can fit on a single disc would be, creating the Luigi & Wario + Puzzle + Rhythm Maximum Value Pack.
