fantastic explanation of renewable energy, among other things!!

I get sad when people in creator communities reserve their reacts/comments for the crème de la crème.

Like, c'monnn: it costs nothing to encourage others! Even if their art/writing/game/whatever isn't technically impressive! Even if it's amateurish!

ABANDON YOUR PRIDE & BUILD COMMUNITY.

Saw most of #IronLung today, good movie :)

I'm using the magical JPGPU by @ompu.co to simulate the compression effects of a QuickTime video clip being played within a pre-rendered game 😊

Absolutely phenomenal read

Four-panel fan comic featuring Final Fantasy VII characters. Cloud and Red XIII are sitting together, with Cloud scratching Red's neck. Cloud: "There, who's a good doggyyy? Who deserves neck scritches? You do! You doooo~" Closeup of Red XIII, annoyed. Red: "You can stop with the baby talk, Cloud." "In Cosmo Canyon I have been lauded for my contributions to the Study of Planet Life, and I understand the geologic and ecologic effects of Spirit Energy depletion better than anyone from here to Midgar. I'm a more accomplished researcher than even that Prof. Hojo." "And, I believe, I am older than you." Red XIII lifts a paw to Cloud, who recoils. Red: "Perhaps I should be scratching *your* neck." Cloud: "Hey! Keep your paws to your—" Red XIII scratches Cloud's neck, who appears placated but annoyed. Cloud: "The (*^%?! That shouldn't work on me..." Red: "Shouldn't it? You're a mammal too." Cloud: "Yeah, but I'm not the damn mutt here!"

silly comic idea i had

Art of Candyether's characters (from left to right) Toster, Bluby, Clay, Reed, and Sappy playing poker together. Toster's face can't be seen, but Bluby looks at Sappy confusedly, Clay gives him an excited look, and Reed gives a mischievous grin, because he just placed a Joker from Balatro on the table. Sappy bashfully suggests, "...birthday boy picks the rules?" A message in the corner reads, "Happy B-Day! -turtlehat"

happy belated b-day to my friend @candyether.space :)

A two panel comic about The Game Awards. In the first panel, a list of nominees for "Longest Time in Development": Pokémon Legends Z-A, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Donkey Kong Barrel Blast, Half-Life 3, and skong. Geoff Keighley announces on the side, "...and the clair winner is an obscure little indie game from france, if you get what i mean, ahaha..." In the second panel, two people from Sandfall Interactive get up from their seats to accept the award, one of them holding an armful of trophies. Seated beside them are two people from Team Cherry, one of them weeping with their head in their hands, and the other consoling them. The weeping one says, "please just say it geoff i'm so tired." A little plush Hornet sits on the seat next to them with their singular trophy.

he actually said this i was there

I would love it if the text were a lil bigger but other than that I adore the style :O

Unholy Roller v0.9.0 recently released with a bunch of new features! I thought it would be cool to give a behind-the-scenes look at our most recent enemy: the Burner! (1/4)

We just released a new build of Unholy Roller on our itch page speakerbeak.itch.io/unholy-roller! You can play v0.9.0 on Web or Desktop and enjoy a bunch of new features, including: a fifth level, a red-hot enemy, and some crazy new scoring mechanics!

Someone's screenshot of a two-post twitter thread, from user blue (@bluewmist): the fastest way to kill motivation is to make your identity depend on the outcome. it's called ego involvement. when failing becomes failing as a person, your brain starts avoiding the whole thing. not because you don't care, but because you care too much. you don't need lower standards. you need less self-worth tangled up in your goals. the work gets easier when it's not about proving who you are.

Found this on the AO3 subreddit, and I'm about to let it change my whole life (or at least work really hard to internalize it wrt my writing).

#AvocadoAttorney now has something any visual novel needs: dialogue options!

You can build these with a linear string of blocks using a simple template. The system is highly modular, allowing certain options to add others to the list or lead to a sub-menu.
