"I don't know how to make this" is an opportunity to fucking LEARN.

A parody of a Yotsuba&! cover. Verso poses, menacingly preparing a karate chop. Monoco stands beside him, raising his staff. Esquie balances delicately behind them with his arms up in a confusing pose.

Do you know one thing that annoys me? Developers who'll use the AI generated content disclosure to plead why they're just a teeny tiny dev who's just gotta use AI, and you can't be upset because they're just a little guy who has to use it, they're just a little AI guy.

The source of the age verification bills has been multiple super-PACs all set up at the state level and deliberately splintered to hide the source; Meta/Facebook. web.archive.org/web/20260313...

(like even if prior auths are a stupid concept in the first place, it still feels like a real *special* kind of stupid when I see a PA denial stating "must either try and fail one of or provide contraindications for all of [drug list A] and same for [drug list B]" and

Screenshot of Nintendo HK eShop error message:
Sorry...
https://store.nintendo.com.hk/
暫時無法進入網頁,請稍後再試。
The site cannot be reached. Please try again later. Screenshot of GSE’s eShop page, showing the pricing error on their otome games

Nintendo HK’s eShop has been struggling to stay online today due to a stampede of—wait for it—otome fans (img 1).

GSE, HK publisher of many Japanese games, started an otome sales event but mistakenly set it at 88% off instead of 12% (img 2). Bustafellows, for instance, can be had for <US$7.

Screenshot of best selling games on HK eShop (capturing the top 6). #2 is Pokémon Pokopia. #1 and #3-6 are all GSE’s otome games.

This causes a buying frenzy from Chinese otome fans. Jack Jeanne even knocks Pokopia off the #1 spot (img). HK eShop cards are also sold out on some Chinese e-commerce sites. The pricing has not been fixed at this moment.

relatively new photog but her work's actually real cute and the bookings are pretty cheap which is nice since this is a more casual cosplay tbh, and the bookings post was shared by a photog I've had friends work with and drooled over but had closed for AB before I started looking :V

A screenshot from Promise Mascot Agency. The mascot Ichigo Love (a large pink dog with starry eyes & strawberries for ears) Is speaking to the protagonist, a yakuza named Michi. Ichigo says to him, "Heh, fair point, my friend! Just know that if you try anything funny with Shiori, Pinky, or with my goods, I have acres of land and plenty of shovels."

Promise Mascot Agency is so many things. A smartly-written Yakuza parody. The yin to Easy Delivery Co's yang. Miyazaki making his own Sam & Max. The polar opposite of No More Heroes. And it has Ichigo Love in it.

To get the full effect here, know that Ichigo has a deep Barry White sort of voice.

Obsidian on Steam Venture into the surreal worlds of Obƨidian...if you dare. In Obƨidian, your life is in your hands, so tread carefully. Forget everything you know about existence and prepare to be flipped on your ear...

Maybe it's cheating since it's almost 30 years old and just has only been on Steam for a couple (it's got ScummVM support nowadays)?

But Obsidian is a first-person adventure game, same sort of thing as (and contemporaneous to) Riven, but *this* stuck with me to this day just as hard if not harder.

hah meanwhile Hiro Shimono can't sing for *shit* but he seems like a fun dude I'd buy a beer for so as long as he's not playing an idol boy I rather like him (unfortunately the thing I knew him first for was Uta no Prince-sama :V)

This is a #cosplay tip guide i created because there are a lot of new folks getting into cosplay who may be well meaning but end up being more other'ing than they think.

these might seem obvious/common courtesy but i try to educate rather than assume people know the etiquette

Grammarly Is Facing a Class Action Lawsuit Over Its AI ‘Expert Review’ Feature The feature, which Grammarly shut down Wednesday, presented editing suggestions as if they came from established authors and academics—without their consent.

I'm suing Grammarly over its paid AI feature that presented editing suggestions as if they came from me - and many other writers and journalists - without consent.

State law requires consent before someone's name can be used for commercial purposes.
