Dredgen Bael from Destiny: Renegades

i knew destiny's star wars expansion was already skirting pretty close to Just Having Star Wars in it, but i didn't realize that the antagonist is... a sith lord. that's a sith lord. that's techwear-curious Darth Revan

(next to a crossed out Home Depot logo) “Home Depot has allowed its parking lots to become ground zero for ICE raids on immigrant day laborers, and its billionaire co-founder Bernie Marcus has funneled millions into Trump's campaigns.” (next to a crossed out Target logo) “Target, which once branded itself as the friendly, inclusive big-box store, has now scrapped its DEl goals and scaled back LGBTQ+ offerings to avoid angering the regime.” (next to a crossed out Amazon logo) “Amazon didn't just shower Trump's inauguration with cash -- Jeff Bezos' company pitched facial-recognition tools to ICE and powers the Palantir systems ICE uses to track and deport immigrants, making Amazon a core contractor for the regime's deportation machine.”

It’s the busiest shopping period of the year, so we’re hitting pause on buying from corporations that enable Trump’s fascist agenda: weaintbuyingit.com/?utm_source=bluesky

Story's been updated with a rare, albeit thin, response from Valve:

if nothing else, it’s interesting to see what bits of spiritual morality I’ve still got hanging around to be surprised that people can do things like this without getting straight up smote for engaging in raw moral violence

I love windows, I love clicking on an interaction I've done a thousand times in this OS only for it to throw a curveball so wild and stupid I have to sigh "what the fuck" at the screen on a weekly basis.

Horror game maker accuses Valve of 'censorship' after its game about nude human 'Horses' is rejected by Steam: 'Lawful works should not be made unreachable by a monopolistic storefront's opaque decisi... Valve told Santa Ragione its game featured child exploitation. The studio says otherwise.

Hello! Annoying news! I’ve been informed by work that due to an investor delay I am not going to be paid on time. I need to pay my rent and internet/phone and eat, so if you can give me a hand, I can pay you back in the next few weeks when my pay shows up. Thanks!

Poster for the South Korean stage production of Macbeth showing Lady Macbeth whose back is turned to us, and Macbeth posed towards us with his hand on the back of his wife's neck. The long cut in the back of her dress reveals skin in the shape of a sword/dagger that Macbeth seems to be holding.

Poster for the South Korean stage production of Macbeth showing Lady Macbeth facing us with her cleavage cut into three pointy triangles. Macbeth is kneeling in front of her, away from us, his face in his wife's chest. The exposed skin of Lady Macbeth looks like a crown that aligns with the top of Macbeth's head.

These posters for the South Korean stage production of Macbeth are the greatest thing ever? #art

Credits for Brent Porter (3D art lead) and Catherine Menabde (2D art lead) are shown here. There's a lengthy description of what they did, with a pastiche of various Demonschool characters underneath, messing around with a computer.

We did something different with the credits for Demonschool. We used this format: name, title, lengthy description of what they did. Often you see credits in games where you don't know what the credited developer was actually responsible for. We wanted to give people proper, actual credit.

come on man. he's already been through so much

all things return inevitably to the veneration of corn
