So I just learned that Styxhexenhammer was in jail for violating the NAP on his (ex?)-girlfriend.

Seriously, what's with these hippie-looking guys becoming women-beaters?

_The Sun, not CO2, drives the Earth’s climate, a new study says_

"Experts analysing data in a report from the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (“IPPC”) point to changes in the planet’s albedo – the fraction of the Sun’s energy reflected by Earth – as the factor driving the rise in global temperatures."

Anyone complaining about online "misinformation" without acknowledging the legacy media and established outlets torching their credibility for many, many years is not being remotely realistic. If they can't even tell you what a man or woman is, you shouldn't be shocked when more and more people tune you out.

This #FediForum guy doesn't want me to be in a Matrix chatroom where I posted maybe 4 messages six months ago because it makes people uncomfortable that I am visible in the members list. @j12t

A big divide between online communities is if you're supposed to self-assimilate or if resistance is futile and assimilation will be done to you.

The "censorship is good actually" to "I want to kill myself I'm so miserable" pipeline is real

the games industry is waaaaay too focused on "realism" and it takes away from it actually seeming real, funny enough. there's a certain style you have to achieve to trick someone's brain into glossing over inaccuracies, but when you just go all in on the realistic stuff then your brain picks up on it way more.

especially with all of the techniques devs use for various things... they end up looking really bad in motion and you focus way too much on them. it ruins the immersion. i'll take purely rasterized lighting that's really good over ray-traced reflections that smear everywhere when you turn the camera any day.

SquareEnix is purging the interview with Dragon Quest creators where they lament the forced restrictions of their vision and creativity, in particular the Westernized Neoliberal mind rot. Do not forget.

Does your site have RSS and/or Atom feeds and no good way to advertise as such?

I pixelled some basic little buttons (in 1x and 2x density) like how I remember them being back in the day!

An Anna's Hummingbird sharing a water fountain with four bees on a hot California summer day, 2016 - by Toshiyasu Morita, Japanese

Created a second boss. This one is like the Dark Nut-like enemy, but you have to bomb it once, then it turns yellow, then you can strike it.

The screen goes black in the video because the game crashed due to a segment fault.
