A balding man with a mustache sits at a drawing table in front of an unfinished comic strip, turning backwards in his chair and waving, with his other arm draped over the chair. He says "People ask me every day, 'where do jokes come from?' 'How do I make a joke?' 'What IS a joke?' Today I'll be giving you a closer look." We now see a pink blobby creature wearing one of those novelty arrow through its head. "here is a joke in the wild. But what makes it work?" With a loud 'BONK', the pink blob is bludgeoned with a hammer. "First we humanely euthanize the joke." "Now we can see inside the joke. Let's observe." The lower half of the image is a diagram, in red, of the pink blob creature, the joke, autopsied, with pins holding it open, and lines pointing to different organs labeled as follows: Pyloric Ceca Chuck Sacks Note the absence of bones Pathos "silly" gland secondary ruminant stomach swim bladder cloaca The cartoonist pops up again at the end to say "I hope that clears things up. If all else fails, just shout lines from 20 year old tv commercials. Everyone thinks that's funny and not annoying."

Hey, hey! We're on this list! Project Lexa is coming to PAX East as a part of PAX Rising! Excited to head back to one of my favorite shows again, this time as an exhibitor of a game I'm working on!

Nancy 2/22/26… 🪱WOIMS🪱

Tfw you still have some edge cases to fix in your procedural locomotion system #gamedev

I mean, is there any need to add -san to Kokkuri-san?

Such a hassle. Just Kokkuri is fine, just Kokkuri yeah?

Kokkuri-type bastard, I will become the opponent for you

I will make you into something beat-em-up, so, you know! Yeah!

Upon learning about a curse spirit with the honorific -san, Kudo declares war. He'd sooner go directly to Hell than respect a ghost.

I don't think it's an accident that this kind of thing keeps happening to

1. games made by women
2. games about women
3. games about black women
4. games made by black women (esp. Sweet Baby)

the way this industry treats black women is transparently disgusting.

So when thousands of women (and children) were being duplicated--including in non-consensual AI porn--it was no big deal. But it took "only a 15-sec clip" of these two famous white men to draw outrage and fear. Gotcha. Cool cool.

hello and welcome to the political genius exam. here is question one. which is a more compelling message:

- the president is sending armies to occupy cities and kidnap and kill people and your town could be next
- a meal at the cheesecake factory that previously cost $100 now costs $104.9

This is your regular reminder that in the year 2000, Paul Rudd, with frosted tips, appeared in the Hong Kong film GEN-Y COPS as a bad guy (kinda). In the movie, he does martial arts, fights a robot, and, most shocking of all, does an entire scene in Cantonese.

Someone gave me a Steam code years ago that gifts me all of 2K's games and I'm VERY intrigued to try this Penn & Teller VR game.
Also I have many questions: Why? How? What? How come? Huh? Why?

A comic in black/white/blue. Lucy rolls her bike through an alley, by a crew building a fence. Narration: My neighbors hired a crew to rebuild their fence. Crew member: "Do you need us to move our stuff out of the way?" Lucy: "Oh! No, you're all good, thanks!" Lucy: "Have a good one!" Crew member: "You, too!"

Narration: I was teaching when my phone started lighting up with alerts from the rapid response network and neighbor chat. Lucy's back is to us as she shows a group of enthusiastic children something on a notebook. Behind her, her phone in her bag is buzzing. Narration: By the time the lesson was over, they were already gone. Lucy is reading messages on her phone. Messages: Alert: black SUV Sighting: be on alert for... Confirmed abductionL alley between ----- and ----. SUV plates... We tried to get them inside, but it was too... ...Contacting an I.R. lawyer. Heading to Broadview later today.

Lucy is riding her bike home. Narration: On the ride home, I kept thinking "If I'd been there, could I have warned them? Would my ICIRR* training have helped?" *Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights. Get trained and know your rights at ICIRR.org. Narration: I'd taken the training after Halloween, when the violent ICE raids had locked down our schools and driven our neighbors indoors. (Image of a halloween bucket in the shape of a jack-o-lantern) Narration: Halloween is fun here-- The community filling the streets and opening our doors to one another. But this year's was tense, frightened and subdued. Haunted.

Lucy is standing in the alley, staring at the newly built fence. Narration: When I got home, it was all done. The other two guys who had gotten inside in time stayed and finished the build. The new fence is superimposed with the brief exchange from earlier in the comic ("Have a good one" You, too") Narration: I see it every day and think about how those guys built this in the spot where strangers in masks took their friend. Narration: How many other places in our communities are similarly haunted? (Drawings of sidewalks, buildings, streets and windows)

Excerpt from a blog post "We are essentially watching the mainstream video game industry transform from a creative powerhouse into a high-end museum gift shop, where the primary business model is selling us souvenirs of experiences we had twenty years ago rather than creating new memories. The tragedy isn’t that these remakes are bad games, as I said before, many of them are technically brilliant productions; but that their dominance signals a complete lack of faith in the future of the medium. The industry has become so efficient at monetizing our past that it has forgotten how to invest in its own future, creating a feedback loop that feels increasingly claustrophobic.”

Loaded up this week's Critical Distance and was immediately hit with this oof

it ought to be interesting to see who winds up winning the super bowl this year. both the patriots and seahawks made it, so it’s going to be a real “battle of the nfl teams” type of situation

Variety headline: Darren Aronofsky’s AI Studio Used Artificial Intelligence Tools for Revolutionary War Animated Series — but Hired Human Actors to Voice Founding Fathers

Darren Aranofsky's new project is AI slop, but what do you expect him to do? Satoshi Kon tragically passed away in 2010, so Aranofsky has long been lacking in an actual artist to steal from

Some tall giant skull headed creeper howling in the night.

Found an old unfished image I sort of like. Not sure why I stopped.

Loosely based on an idea from when I heard a creepy yell in the middle of the night while camping on Blue Mountain near where I grew up. Scared myself with my own kid imagination.

Also very clearly Trevor Henderson inspired. 😅

This isn't mine, and I can't definitively find the original source. But I love this little bit of wisdom:

"If you're a fifteen-minute walk from a coffee shop, but the server there has to drive an hour to get to work, you don't live in a walkable city. You live in a theme park."
