By using Absonet and collecting [symbol] and achieving OVER status, you'll be flying fastest to the moon.

ABS-NET and OVER STATE ABS-NET is great; it makes you invincible and boosts the multiplier. Collect speed items to enter the OVER state for high-speed high-risk shooting action! ABS-NET, Speed items, and OVER state are the keys for reaching the moon fast! At least, I think they are! [big symbol] <- Speed item!

'Difficult decision': All Vancouver Car Free Days cancelled in 2026 | News Just months after the Honda Celebration of Light was cancelled in Vancouver, popular Vancouver event Car Free Days has pulled the plug.

How many more popular community events are going to wither and die under Ken Sim’s mayorship? dailyhive.com/vancouver/va... ht @city-duo.bsky.social

sure you should check the food bowl and all but riffing is typically a sign that you're housing your writers in an overstocked tank. you're going to need a bigger enclosure and/or to rehome some writers. otherwise they'll get their plots tangled together and form a "writer king"

Kojima isn't really sure what a woman is but he thinks it might be a type of space alien

your writer can't stop riffing? on dear, they only do that when they're very distressed. are you sure they're getting enough food? have you been grooming them properly

In 2019, I created #WhatAGameDevLooksLike after I was stopped by security 3(!!) times while picking up my speaker badge. I’m a small Asian woman with pink hair, and I guess I didn’t visually meet their expectations of a speaker.

Ironically, I was at GDC to speak about inclusive studio cultures. 🫠

a bunch of gaming video essays I like!

I feel like the answer to this is probably "does the article have any english-language citations or are they all ported over from another lang"

a compilation of my photos of maine, "A Place Without Bodies" volumes 1 and 2, to advertise it for my early spring sale. in the top left it says "Early spring/"FUCK! I got bills" sale!". in the middle, over a moody photo of a gas station, it says "Over 600 atmospheric photos of Maine in 2 volumes for $20! (That's 2/3rds off its normal price!)". and on the right, over a foggy photo of a bridge, it says "Licensed for commercial use! Use 'em in games, art, albums, more!"

hooooo heyo! some surprise bills have come up here, so i'm doing an early spring sale of my photo packs of maine, "A Place Without Bodies"! over 600 moody, atmospheric photos, WITH license for commercial use! normally $60, cut down to $20! and it lasts all march! ko-fi.com/s/bc50ecb11f

With a little over two weeks to go, the AAA4 fundraiser is at 79%! Less than $300 left before this issue is fully funded! If you want to support high-quality human-created writing about porn games, now is the time!

I'm sorry but if you take paychecks from the New York Times some segment of people will simply not take you seriously, morally or intellectually, because you're working for an organization that has spent the last 10 years deliberately building a hate movement.

ughhhhhhh

wtf

Too bad the heights merchants association is dedicated to preventing any bus traffic to or from that neighbourhood so there can be 10 more parking spots

like i hate to bust out the tired refrain, but Car Free days in Vancouver are wonderful and brought so much foot traffic to every business. They cite rising operational costs, (www.carfreevancouver.org) so you can thank the dumbass Mayor's budget dramatically increasing festival/market fees for this

NO FUN CI-TY 👏-👏-👏👏👏

Missing Cultist Plushie and Shards of Infinity Mat Unfortunately, our inventory counts for the Cultist Plushies and Shards of Infinity playmats were inaccurate, and we did not have sufficient stock to fulfill every pledge that included these items. As a result, the plushie and/or playmat had to be removed from some orders. Refunds for affected backers will be processed within the week. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your understanding.

the last year and a half has been a real year for disaster kickstarters but I think the Ascension Legends might be approaching top-mishandled-I've-ever-seen. posting an update like this _AFTER_ people start getting their packages and asking why items are missing is wild
