removing straight as an option is peak game design and i will NOT be clarifying

Three images showing photographers in a studio, standing around a black curtained area with a projector and a 'Windows' logo etched onto a glass pane. The lower image shows a version of the iconic blue windows background, with blue lasers outlining and passing through an angled Windows logos against a dark background.

Windows 10 goes out of support today. My fave useless fact about w10 is that the iconic blue desktop background is a *photograph* - not CGI.

I listened to a lot of Slayer while I was pregnant. Baby now has a schedule but won't go to sleep until she's heard Raining Blood.

This is your occasional reminder that Rose O'Neill, creator of the Kewpies, first published female cartoonist in the United States, and among the first cartoonists to build a merchandising empire on their work, turned out some absolutely baller, romantic-feeling size-difference monster art.

This is such a great idea. Digitizing films that never made it to Blu-Ray or Streaming.

At least the DVDs already have digital files on 'em and could be directly and cleanly ripped.

The VHSs need to be digitized in real time, glad someone is doing that on this scale.

For fuck's sake.

With what room XD

if you've had a shitty week, here's the fantastic news you needed:

solar is SO efficient now that nothing else really comes close. Solar farms like this- under which other countries plant crops that thrive in the controlled bright shade- are the easy future.

this makes me sleep okay at night 😌

As holders of a Bachelor of Arts in drawing and printmaking, and 20 years of experience in graphic design and publishing, we can say that this is one of the best documents on design we've read.

Absolutely a top notch resource, and a great piece to keep handy no matter your education or experience.

"HE'S GETTING AWAY!! AH-HYUCK!!"

A woman asks a clerk "do you have cards for things you said during a mental breakdown?" The clerk gestures toward the card rack and says "right this way, ma'am!" She holds up a flowery card with mixed cursive and block lettering font that says "Sorry for calling you "Pathetic" during my episode." She marvels "wow, there are so many of these. And in such variety!" The clerk says "people are not doing well."

@patrickhwillems.bsky.social I feel like you roughly predicted M:I8 like 7 years ago (positively)

Flirting with someone in a European time zone is what I imagine it felt like sending freaky letters back home from war.

"Sorry, my Mum said no"

The fact that this 'journalist' admitted to using AI for research really highlights that 'oh I just use it to help me write, not do the writing for me' is a line of bullshit. Using AI at any step of your work simply spreads AI poisoning everywhere.

I'm desperately waiting for my visa to come through so I can go back to Sydney
