free advice for game developers: try to make the next smash hit video game, such as grand theft auto. if you do, you'll be making more than just a video game – you'll be making millions of dollars

NEW: Minnesota’s graduation rate just reached the highest level on record.

Two years ago, we made the single-largest investment in public schools in state history.

Today, we’re seeing the results.

#MonsterHunter i now has an English patch, courtesy of Grender and Yuwika! They translated thousands of lines of text and even set up a server to host assets that weren't stored locally. The game was only preserved last month, so this was a diligent effort! Link in the replies.

Quick glimpse on a new WIP area from ABYSS X ZERO.

We're now working on the colors and overall vibes.

I went all in on vertex color and gradients - It's a nice way to add depth to pixel art/low poly without it feeling too modern!

What do you think?

Here is Senator Rubio (2017) calling on the Chinese government to provide due process protections to prisoners and calling on the U.S. not to send anyone there unless China proves is it abiding by int'l human rights law - standards Secretary Rubio is helping the US and El Salvador violate today.

A POEM by TOBY for his MOM

pumkin derry
pumkin scary
       pumkin fall off the wall

with a little pumkin
with a big pumkin
    and the big pumkin calling
    on a broom

and the little pumkin calling
    on a little broom
          next to it


THE END

The featured text is the form of a Q and A. 

I see. Will you do it over the phone?

Would I do it over the phone? Absolutely.

Let's hear it.

This is an edited 3-panel Calvin and Hobbes comic strip.
The first panel is a somewhat narrow rectangle. It contains Calvin's dad, sitting on a spotted living room chair (upholstered) near a desk lamp (the kind with a lampshade over the bulb, not the kind that can be adjusted thanks to hinges). Calvin's dad has a book in his hand, but his attention has shifted to look at Calvin. Calvin is walking past, but his head is facing his dad. Above his head is a textbox that reads, "Oh, just so you know..."
The second panel is a wider rectangle, with plenty of empty space. In the right-hand corner, Calvin appears from the waist up, pointing towards one of his fingers with his eyes close, as if counting or smugly making a point. Calvin's dialouge in this panel appears in a boundless speechbox- meaning, there is a single short line indicating speech, rather than a rounded container connecting to a line. Near the upper left is the text "I am" and lower down, is the text "all of me" (no punctuation.) The next panel is depicts Calvin's dad leaning over in his chair with an expression of shock, mouth agape and eyebrow raised. To his right, where calvin previously stood, is a full-color picture of Shadow The Hedgehog from the Sonic The Hedgehog. Shadow's body faces away from the camera, but he has turned slightly over his left shoulder to look in that direction, with his fist near his face (and Calvin's dad's nose). He has a look of mild annoyance or anger. The picture of Shadow extends past the borders of the image and the panel.

Hey there Delilah
If you're reading this I am dead
And you have now inherited
My cursed ancestral homestead
By the sea
Where legend says that there might be
A banshee

Pilotwings Resort states that guests are only
allowed to drive electric vehicles on Wuhu Island.
Earlier in the series, in Wii Sports Resort, this was
phrased as "only electric vehicles are allowed
on the island".
However, in Mario Kart 7, Mario Kart races
take place on the island where the racers all
use gas vehicles. This suggests that Mario
gained special pollution privileges for
his Mario Kart activities.

In the Wii series games, Wuhu Island is committed to clean air by only allowing electric vehicles. However, in Mario Kart 7, gas vehicles are used in the races. This implies that Mario made a deal with the Wuhu Island administration to receive exclusive pollution privileges.

"Over the past two decades, the free-to-use online encyclopedia has carried on with its mission, expanding its global community of volunteer editors, known as Wikipedians, and ultimately resisting the kinds of platform decay that have claimed other 2000s-era internet phenoms."
