Mantic Cosma

Trying to figure out if this is a car thing or a browser thing without looking it up

Mantic peeking over a ledge/table to give you the :pleading_face:

@tonesmcgroans.bsky.social is back doing art comms, and he's roughly this good at it :3
(turning this into an emote if it wasn't obvious)

We're still dealing with the consequences of Andrew Cuomo's "experience."

Genuinely the conflation of GenAI with all other forms of it is going to set the entire field back massively when the bubble pops (or finishes popping?)

How to Turn Off AI Tools Like Gemini, Apple Intelligence, Copilot, and More via @ConsumerReports AI features are crowding into Google search, Gmail, iPhones, Windows laptops, and other products. If you're suffering from AI overload, these settings can help.

oooh. Bookmarking this! "How to turn off AI tools in Apple, Google, Microsoft, and more." Step-by-step instructions from Consumer Reports.

So apparently they're already doing ID verification for 18+ posts and I just didn't notice until now lol
On the bright side, thanks to the aforementioned modular structure there are multiple clients that work around it already :)

I don't get it o-o what does this mean /genq

Is it treatable?

The optimist in me says that would be unnecessary (even more so than for other social media) because of how closed and modular the network is.
I, however, say that just because he's topping me doesn't mean he has a right to post on my Bsky account /j

A series of illustrations depicted Hornet and Shakra from hollow knight silksong redesigned as humans with their design motifs translated into clothing and armor. The first depicts a bust of Hornet removing her mask and looking stoically at the viewer, the second depicts a fullbody Hornet dashing through the air with her various pieces of gear, the third depicts a bust of Shakra unmasked and singing, and the last depicts Hornet accepting a map from a squatting Shakra. Shakra's thought bubble reads, "I'm getting so good at this 'talking to short people' thing!" and Hornet's thought bubble reads, "She's so tall and her voice is so pretty ohmygod keep it together, Hornet- I hope she's traveling the same path as I am...".

Y'all I'm so bad at the bug game
#silksong #bugyuri

me with a lot of anxiety rn: I feel like I should draw maybe that will make me feel better
*opens up firealpaca for 1 second*
*feels like 100 pounds of weight got added*
ok maybe not ;3;

Trying to imagine what the pharmacist must have been thinking in that interaction - someone walks in asking for *preventative* care, but policy dictates yiou can only give it if they're already chronically sick.

I realise this doesn't mean specifically with covid, but comorbidity works both ways.

first results from googling "trump rapture" indicate yield several news articles detailing the end-times beliefs of Trump's fundamentalist supporters

uh. after 5 seconds on google: yes

Isn't there a section of his supporters who do think this but that it's a good thing? Like the Rapture types who want Trump to enable Israel so Jesus can come back?

Oh I get this after finishing almost every big game I like (including rn because of Silksong kinda)

the fluff cannot be contained💚💜

yk until seeing the colour versions a few days ago I always pictured Marie as being light blue... and it's now dawning on me this is probably exactly why x3

Very good match, both she and Altaria seem like they would give good hugs

The one time I don't add a tone indicator to a post x3
guess that's a sign I should be doing it consistently

(I knew and was joking :) )

Is that the first verse? I tihnk I can get behind this

these two are really just cats with bsky accounts /lh

Screenshotting a bsky post about IP law to post to bsky is absolutely devious, thanks Satan.

Mantic wears a navy matador-like suit, and floats above a watery vortex, wreathed in blue-yellow lightning

Vexy's stepping up their hair game (by their own description) so I'm happy my fluffy maned goober is among the first test- I mean examplars :3
Also first non-reference art of "formal" derg :D
(despite the broader aesthetic being more glamrock)

Like when Warner shut down Monolith, the excuse was they "no longer fall within our strategic priorities". If anything that just sounds like a euphemism for "we never really planned on keeping them around, we just had a contract that said we had to let them work on x no. of games after acquisition"

Not even just for the perceived flops - sometimes the execs will agree that the work done by the studio was good but dissolve them anyway. ie: they buy the indie studio so they don't have to worry about being outcompeted or encroached by their games, but don't actually want to manage them.

DM from Whiskystudios "Hey Jo, Mr.Cat if I may. I'm setting up a collab with a bunch of 30+ year old women Vtubers. (Including myself.) And I thought it would be really funny to offer you a spot as a known woman liker."

chat have I made it?

Mantic bust sketch by VexinglyYours

Decided it's probably more readable if I just make each new piece a reply to this post - for posterity, the last one was the postery half-toned wing-it from Vexy.

Anyway they also did a sketch as a VGen reward :3
le goob is pleased

Mantic doing breakdancing or something? not sure but they're having fun. Background is halftone dithered between cyan and a purple-magenta gradient.

Vexy's trying to get a foothold in VGen so I dropped em a wing-it commission, and wing it they did :D
Love the halftone dithering with the dynamic pose, makes it look like a vapourwave poster

Look Micah already said what I was thinking, what more do you want lol

Thanks, I learned the difference between em and en dashes from this post :D
surely as a computer science student this can only be a positive... (barely audible through the dense fog of copium)
