I hope the next Final Fantasy has a proper airship again. What's the point of all this volumetric stuff if we can't sail along on a sea of clouds, vibing with our party as the spire of some distant structure emerges on the horizon

The EVO situation is dire.

one weird thing about the world changing so much even within a generation is there's no time for people to even learn how to live a good life in its time. there's no meta when the balance patches come too fast

I find it very strange to think about lost civilizations where people just had quite a chill time for generations and generations across millennia, living lives as if their world was eternal.

I love the animation on these vertical missiles....

Early concepts for Eqbal/Algebra quadrupeds

Early BFF design

Early GA design

Early interior union design

And a bonus before I head off, some weird/fun unused concepts. Eqbal/Algebra Quad Legs with some fun configurations. Unused BFF design with some funny antennae fins... got little ears. GA Concept which is still chunky but a bit cooler imo, and an early IU design

A landscape page with a pale green background and two illustrations of Ginkgo on it. On the left is an inaccurate one with leaves coming directly from a branch. On the right is an accurate one with clusters extending from short shoots.

I, too, would like to have a go at the new Spinosaurus soon, but in the meantime:
Here's a slide from my recent talk, which covers the DOs and DON'Ts of restoring ginkgoes within palaeoart!
Enjoy! #Ginkgo #FossilFriday #paleobotany #paleoart #SciComm

can you use just a thumb to effectively twist the trackball, or is it more of a two finger maneuver? my interest is piquing, gotta say

this entire division is cooked. its impossible to look at the timing, bond's complete departure and the credentials of spencer's replacement and not assume it's a sinking ship

there's a certain genius to coming up with excellent pithy terms that self evidently name the thing, and "you live here too" is right there with "complaining kicks ass," "posting sucks now," "corpse brain," and "the theory of chilling and hanging." sickos are inimitable

i'm still thinking about the flow of a river, what a cool singular thing. it's hard to not sound insincere saying it, but thanks for translating these unique and otherwise easily missable things. genuinely valuable work

"Shock Doctrine"/disaster capitalism is a wacky leftist conspiracy theory UNLESS you are a disaster capitalist, in which case it is just the normal thing you do at work

Deaths Door is a charming little mostly-linear zelda-ish top down action thing from a couple years ago

A fact that sounds like bullshit but is actually true:

There is more square footage of parking *per car* in the US than there is square footage of housing *per person.*

MS. SAGA Vol.10 (1995): Detailed airbrushed illustration depicting a young woman with short purple hair sitting calmly on the wide red-carpeted stairs of a grand wooden interior hall with high ceilings and arched windows. She wears an elaborate white frilly dress with puffed sleeves, a high collar, and a full layered skirt, holding a bouquet of white flowers with orange ribbons and scattered petals around her. Behind her looms a massive red mecha robot with a rounded helmet-like head, glowing green visor, articulated limbs, and mechanical details, positioned dynamically as if guarding or overlooking the scene in the opulent, warmly lit architectural space.

production of The Muppet Show should not be dependent on petty vulgarities like “ratings” or “revenue.” it should be preserved as a vital function of american culture. it should have a taxpayer-funded budget rivaling the CIA

Adobe Acrobat rules. It’s a program that literally just needs to let you open and manage PDFs but any time you try to do something as simple as scroll you first have to deal with a pop up that says something like “Btw did you know this document is in English?”

“Never once in the many years I have been reporting on Wyden have I ever encountered a warning of his to be hyperbolic, let alone baseless.”

worth noting that the second rich people stopped being afraid of mobs tearing them limb from limb, they stopped building libraries and opera houses and stuff and started ripping the copper wiring out of the walls of society instead

We used to be able to have magazines about rock collecting on shelves nationwide. Now we can't even keep a sports desk at the fucking Washington Post.

i'm one of the sickos who listened to the omnibus episodes to the poem, but the new format makes sense and this episode rips, so here's to a good (y'know) '26!

The revolution will most definitely include rogue traffic calming

please, any god, let Musk be the immediate cause of tesla and the whole ai bubble popping. Please let his individual name be written in the leading paragraph of this great and terrible moment in every essay and textbook for centuries to come 🙏🏻

saw someone call schumer cowardly and chide him for lacking the backbone to call for ICE to be abolished, & it must once again be pointed out that that is untrue. he is not trying to oppose the republicans and failing, he is on the same team as the republicans, and his enemy is you

Little Link painted!
