(damning too, of course. That we just expect men not to care about their space and somehow even find an insane way to frame 'living' in a cell with nothing but a TV and mattress as some kind of cool 'pragmatism')

As an ADHD riddled homeowning woman a lot of my YT algorithm is biased towards home organization and cleaning tips and it's funny (and affirming I guess) how much this content assumes you must be a woman lmao.

Optical illusion of a woman bent over some papers. Her sunglasses are pushed up and she is wearing a hair band so the top of her head looks exactly like a Muppet face

Sorry I know the world is in a terrible fix but I've been laughing at this for ten minutes now

Sony no longer plans to release PlayStation games on PC? Maybe they should consider releasing some on PlayStation!

Found a 1999 file in my old backups called POKEMON.RAR with 154 pokemon in ICO format. 🤷‍♂️

Hey.

Tell people when they do good job.

When you like the stuff they make.

When you like the characters they’ve created.

The stories they’ve told.

Nobody hears it as often as you think bc everyone thinks everyone hears it all the time.

Trust. They don’t.

Tell. Them.

Throwback to this gem

Game screenshot: a surreal CGI scene of Ronald McDonald with his head screwed on backwards, in and among mixed up looking characters. A sign reads "TNORFOTKCAB DNAL".

Adventures Through McDonaldland (Quoin/SoftMedia/McDonald's Australia, Mac/Windows, 1998)

It is insane how inevitable this felt - that the industry has forced itself into a corner ensuring that every FPS team has to work on a competitive service shooter that has a 99% chance of crashing on launch.

judith butler: sex being social is probably one of the most important concepts in my writing

apparently almost everyone who claims to draw from judith butler: yeah so there is a sex/gender distintion and gender is social and fake and a performance and sex is biological and real and unchangeable

*looking at the commonalities between the people I have dated/am dating*

I see it now. I'm an ADHD chaser

The best time to boycott Xbox and Microsoft was when BDS called for it, the next best time is now. Focused, targeted boycotts work, this one is working, and all you got to do to support it is go play other games. Literally the least you could do in this moment in history

Pixel Art picture featuring the pokemon Blacephalon, standing on a fence atop an old-looking japanese-like coastal town at night. The crescent moon shines bright, its relection shimmering in the bay. A fantastic Luna Park is seen in the distance, right above the water, with its many towers, a ferry wheel also reflected in the calm, dark waters. The starry sky is illuminated by fireworks.

A character sheet with many different monsters in pixel art. There's a dogu-like magical construct, with its detachable head firing lasers, a giant Squid-like Kraken, a fire skeletal demon. The next row shows a plant-like Alraune entity with a huge rose bud on its head, a Lich with its magic staff wearing an old robe, a skeletal dragon, a chained ghost with two vertical bright eyes and a vampire with a bat's head. The third row has a lagoon monster, a Slime queen with its lower part being a gown, a griffin, a giant spider and a floating possessed doll monster with shiny eyes and crazy snake-like hair. The last row has an antlion with huge pincers, a man-eating giant flower, a mud-like construct with shiny stones, a classical wyvern-like dragon and a decaying zombie giant.

A top down, aerial view of a city and its outskirts by a swampy river. The streets are filled with people, and the architecture has a distinctive early twentieth century aesthetic, with rich bent iron structures.

A top-down view of a cathedral-like structure, with many columns. At the very center, a giant baldachin, firmly standing on twisted columns. The altarpiece is mounted in a rich baroque frame, surmounted by stained glass rose window. A tall, bat-headed vampire is guarding the altar, with bats flying around. A richly adorned pipe organ can be seen to the eastern gallery. Along the transept in front of the absis, two enclosed naves host a Pietà statue and a reliquiary. Many huge chandeliers hang above the central nave, and lots of candles are scattered around the cathedral. A few zombies and skeletons are marching towards the entrance, where a group of adventurers is preparing for battle, being surrounded. To the side of the absis altar, downward staircases lead to the crypt. A huge skeletal dragon guards a closed gate. Many huge chandeliers hang above the central nave, and lots of candles are scattered around the cathedral. Below the Cahedral, an underground Ossuary crypt, with walls made out of bones and skulls. An eerie light permeates the various locales, featuring grates, numerous walls of wax, monumental coffins and pillars. A Lich warlock is channeling dark magic by a sarcophagus. The Tower above houses a giant bell. A faraway city can be seen from the terrace, as a Griffin guards the bell beam. A secret room with four chandeliers features many tombs. There, a lady-like demon with bat wings floats above a marble coffin.

+ My major project for this 2026 first quarter has been canceled, therefore I am now open for work - preferably under a part-time workframe, preferably gamedev.

+ Tilesets (+anim) & sprites very welcome!

+ New itch tiles are finally coming, too, but I'm looking for a structured gamedev project.

have we tried delivering an extremely large unassuming wooden horse to the white house

a resurfaced twitter screenshot from 2020 where elon musk replies to me 'to the best our knowledge, he never toured SpaceX. Don't know where that comes from'. another user has superimposed this reply on a screenshot of a 2013 email from Jeffrey Epstein to Elon that says 'thanks for the tour, you would have had fun at xmas'

ok wow. in 2020, as a former tech journalist, i had a large twitter account, so i asked elon musk to comment on why he had been photographed with ghislaine maxwell and whether the rumors jeffrey epstein had toured space x were true

OH SO WHEN *SOMEONE ELSE* DOES IT

Save 15% on Valkyrie Saga on Steam Join Roll the Valkyrie as she subverts fate in a retro indie platformer taking after PSX classics. Climb, dash, jump, and glide your way up a falling sky island, to stop it from destroying the world b...

Ooh, another Haunted PS1 (or close adjacent) game is out. Very vertical 3D exploration platformer. Looks charming and chunky.

these rule

I swear the end of CH2 used to have an authors note or smth that said "I'm only writing more of this if it's still funny to me tomorrow" and I'm lowkey furious its not still there lmao

It's not like these are all super obscure games or whatever either. But I just can't remember the last time I saw... real words... about any of them in this way. Outside of just a discord friend here, or a social media sicko there.

it's wild the relief I'm brought to finally see taste in games I actually like reflected in journalism. Maybe I just haven't been looking but it feels like so long. There's this deep joy in feeling like maybe I'm not an alien after all, and maybe I do actually still like video games? lmao.

We're launching a website.

Jank is an independent PC games website funded by readers.

jank.cool

If you like funny, thoughtful games journalism and can't stand adverts, deals posts, affiliate links, and other nonsense - Jank is for you.

makes no sense 🐀

I just read 26 and I don't think I've experienced the entire spectrum of possible human emotions quite so viscerally in such a short span of time what the FUCK.
