a blog comment where someone says: Mark: devising one fairly impractical encryption scheme and then rejecting it isn't really strong grounds for rejecting the idea of encryption. [smiley emoji but absolutely incredibly enormous]

I'm poking through an old blog where something has gone wrong with the CSS and emoji images are being loaded not at text size but as unstyled SVGs which expand to the size of the container, and it REALLY adds something to the good ol' passive-aggressive friendly smile

I was today years old when I learned that a travel guide was produced for the Game Boy in 1991 and that it has a cute little pixel animation to represent the character of each major city it covers.

New for the original Nintendo Gameboy, traverse the barren lands questing to find the mythical Skulltifact,
SKULL QUEST!

Also known as me wanting to work in the original Nintendo Gameboy colours and resolution. Way. Too. Much. Fun.

THIS IS WHAT SAM ALTMAN WANTS TO TAKE FROM YOU

Cherry blossom cafe! This print is part of an exclusive print pack for Emerald City Comic Con this weekend! Join our stamp rally (details below) ☕️🌸 #ECCC2026 #ECCC

if you’re cis and you don’t get it this is LITERAL TORTURE

it will result in dead trans people

and with their other goal of making us “sexually explicit” for existing

you see the pipeline right?

we exist -> we’re jailed for it -> we’re tortured and die

WE NEED YOU TO STOP THIS

Pombon, the new Pokemon fire starter. A Pomeranian with red highlights.

Greater Dog, a giant dog knight from Undertale.

“What’s Pombon gonna evolve into.”
“I hope it doesn’t get big and humanoid.”
“There’s no way to know what it’s gonna look like.”

It was there all along.

To understand what's happening in Iran today, you have to know about the history of Western intervention in the country.

In the early 1900s, the British secured oil rights in the country until 1993, where they only agreed to pay Iran 16% of the total profits.

This was seen as an unfair deal. 🧵

Seeing a lot of people sharing the Trans Continental Pipeline, which is good for those Kansans who can and wish to exit the state, but for those who cannot, there are other organizations you can support! Please share these as well! 👇

the reason they don’t want you to know about trans people is

you'll see how wonderful we are

how much we can love each other regardless

you’ll realize how small and scared they are

and that they’ll destroy countless people to maintain the illusion of control

that depends on you cowering at lies

Drawing of the pokemon Pikachu. Their eyes are big and they are looking over their shoulders.

Drawing of the pokemon Haunter. Their eyes are closed.

Drawing of the pokemon Gloom. It's sitting and drooling.

Drawing of the pokemon Victreebell. It's eyes are big and mouth is open.

I made stickers for all the Gen 1 Pokemon to celebrate the 30th Anniversary.

I know it’s difficult right now, but I insist that you seek and enjoy beautiful things, even if it seems frivolous or irresponsible in the face of overwhelming horror. I want you to feed yourself artistically, spiritually, and literally, because you can’t Do The Work when you’re starving.

Kansas Sends Letters To Trans People Demanding The Immediate Surrender Of Drivers Licenses "The legislature did not include a grace period."

I don't know how else to say this. Please support Trans people. You have to go out of your way to support Trans people. Our rights, our health care, our lives are being stripped away in real time, piece by piece. Help Trans people on an individual level, and help on the broader scale.

Please.

had such a great time talking to Tangleworm about art, worldbuilding, how to write characters that hold multitudes within themselves, and so much more

hope you check this one out ☕

in honour of my favourite resident evil, i did a little sound redesign of jill roaming around spencer mansion

(no jumpscares!)

still one of my favourite before-and-afters on the Resident Evil concept album that @montyzander.bsky.social and I worked on :)

My "rare vibes detector" is going off

Finally set up a little forum for TNgineers, always wanted one and recently got inspired by some friends who were making some so here's ours! :D

Sparkleghost's persona with a very happy expressive face; A little mascot shaped ghost with little angel wings, a halo with different colours and a bunch of stars around them. The background is a collage of Windows XP style windows and shapes in bright colours. Some of the background is "glitched" fitting with Sparkle's stream layout

Edenflux's skull-sona looking up slightly surprised. The background is a abstract with grafitti style shapes in a green ish hue. There's a barcode on the bottom to emulate a magazine style cover

The early bird discount on my Shibuya Punk sheet commissions are nearing its end. You can still get yourself one of these for a smaller price till the end of February.

Tunic, Night in the Woods Publisher Says TikTok Is Creating and Running Racist GenAI Ads for Its Games Without Permission - IGN Publisher Finji says that TikTok has been using generative AI to modify its ads on the platform without permission and pushing those ads to its users without Finji's knowledge, including at least one ...

Dug into this absolutely wild thing happening to Finji. The deeper I read into their increasingly baffling conversations with TikTok "support" the more I felt like I was on something.

It's almost time for Ramadan, as Muslims tonight peered to the crescent moon to see if the month of Ramadan starts tonight or the day after. As with every year, I'm starting this thread so that people can ask questions, and learn about Ramadan from one person's perspective of it.

The early reviews are coming in great and helped me with a lot of the Day 1 updates.

Check out my really fun dragon hunting, finger gun, sky diving game I made with a couple of friends in a cave with a box of scraps. Launching Tuesday!

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

If you too want a cool Shibuya-Punk/Grind Fiction style character sheet like this. I now have 3(!!!) commission slots open. Current with a 25% early bird discount.

(this is the first time offering commisions up through VGen, so please let me know if you spot something odd when filling in the forms)
