Between this, Ruffle, and damn near the entirety of 90's/2000's internet culture, Newgrounds has done more for Flash than Adobe ever will.

This is pretty impressive. Opening and editing flash files is an impressive arrow in the quiver.

In lieu of hiring a PR team maybe have a social media policy? Or just a private slack/discord to kvetch?

There's a reason restaurant staff don't have lunch breaks with the customers.

Bluesky staff should install a curtain to hide behind.

I feel like a social media company should maybe have a social media policy.

Had a real "should've happened to me" moment today.

In the future, more people should consult me, the main character of the universe, before they make decisions.

Thanks.

Oops I had a few more feelings

Some of the samples and feats in The Mountain are pretty darn old (Bobby Womack left us 12 years ago. Hopper's samples had to be over 20 years old) and never used. There's a love in preserving ghosts.

These feats are so much more human than some techbro parlor trick

And these recordings are echoes of the dead, literally and metaphorically. The dead are never fully gone, they've left footprints on the earth. The Mountain has so many thoughts and feelings about life and death and it says it through the actual words of the departed, not some wack AI Tupac bullshit

Thinking about the AI comment:

A lot of companies have pushed "listen to AI of your dead grandma", or used AI to make "new" music of dead artists (hey Drake).

The Mountain has at least six deceased artists (by my count) but they're actual, unreleased recordings/samples... (1/2)

I'll stop spamming it when they stop getting hit.

Live service game: tons of shit with maps and guns and battle passes and progression loops to keep you addicted to spending money

My playtime: 15 minutes

Fighting game: two guys in an alley uppercutting each other while saying shit like "METEOR BEEF"

My playtime: half of my lifespan

The VGAs used to have a Gamer of the Year award and it had that kinda Madden cover curse on whoever got it. Then they discontinued the award, but Vanguard got oddly special treatment at the VGAs this year, so the kiss of death still looms.

Dragon Quest Builders is older now than Dragon Quest 9 was when Dragon Quest Builders came out.

Basically rolled up three music videos into one burrito and delayed the album to get this one 8-minute short because Hewlett can't catch a fucking break.

If Albarn and Hewlett had a dollar for every canceled Gorillaz project, they would have enough money to start and cancel a Gorillaz project.

I'm pretty good at controlling the fire hose drinking fountain that is "the news" but some mornings I am afraid of logging on at all when all I want to do is my job and look at art.

Meanwhile I saw the scene of Sephiroth killing Midgardsormr in Rebirth and not only does it miss the point of Did Sephiroth Do This by a gargantuan, mind-numbing margin, but what I imagined in my head (Sephiroth piledriving that fucker) is way cooler that what they did.

*martial lawed

I haven't touched FF7 since the Eidos PC port but I wanted to farm inspiration for my Fabula Ultima game. While I never stopped preferring Chrono Trigger over this, the third act (basically the Rocket Launch through the ending) hits that "last season sticks the landing" fever pitch
