OK, photo project distraction complete, time to return to my usual state of increasingly furious impotence about the state of the world I guess

I assume this game ends with the protagonists doing the DragonBall fusion dance to merge into the ultimate pro skater

In hindsight, that was a horribly constructed sentence. But, in my defense, I was jazzed as HELL at the time

I still can't believe they let me use my dumb "official logo of the metroidvania genre" title design with zero pushback, tho

Happy to finally announce this! It’s been a privilege to work with such a beloved brand. Especially cool to bring back one of the best arcade beat-’em-ups ever (with rollback netcode courtesy of our amazing partners at Komi Games). Excited for folks to be able to play this…soon!

Newcastle pubs ban AI art from breweries to protect local creatives As two pubs in Newcastle ban AI art, artists discuss the impact it can have on creatives.

"If I was to use ChatGPT for my designs rather than our designer Sean, that's taking money out of the local area into the hands of a multibillionaire ... removing value from the local community and local artists [and] into the hands of some of the richest people in the world."

Oh, whoops, standard Chartreuse is so scarce I misunderstood the question. Verdict is still out, seems to add more heat than I expected!

The guide rules because it’s such early days for Nintendo’s American console operation. They just took the JP book and rewrote it, and where Japanese text appeared in screenshots they shrugged and put black tape over it

No! I just meant that I had to observe the customs of our people, but I also know that I'm far from the first to riff on The Wizard so I had to be humble about it
