An statue of a crouching angel --arms crossed over their chest, and head bowed-- sat amongst greenery, with a splash of sunshine hitting them from the top left.

Turns out the cheat code to taking nice looking pics with an old digital camera is sunshine.

I have had basically no time for personal art; but after watching the original Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy series with Alec Guinness, I was inspired to make some posters as a gift for a family member who is a big fan

I didn’t know Microslop was a thing until I saw headlines about Microsoft trying to ban Microslop on its Discord. Now I shall say Microslop a lot. That’s how it works.

It’s good when Microsoft, a company that likes genocide and environmental destruction, doesn’t like things.

This bit in the From Russia With Love game made me laugh out loud. You've got a fairly grounded, low key fight based on the one in the movie, then the most video game looking fucker of all time slides into frame.

Most of the footage of the famous 2000 "Super Mario 128" tech demo was recorded with handheld cameras by the audience, with the presenter drowning out the game sound. Only 10 seconds of direct feed footage exist, which reveal that the sound was a cacophony of Marios screaming.

"Oh, come ON! This isn't good comed--"

P4: Closeup on the stickman's "face," which is now a set of pecs where the eys should be, and a six pack where the mouth should be.

The horrified stickman can only say "mmh. MMPH!"
