Fight the Difference by Ben Mehlos Sniff out the suspicious in this GMTK 2025 Jam submission

Managed to submit a fairly playable snack sized game to GMTK Jam 2025! benmehlos.itch.io/fight-the-di...

the argument that AI in the context of art is “just a tool” completely elides the fact that the point of art is to participate in the fucking process of making it

i'm super bummed this got delayed because of the stupid itchio situation :( but we're cooking up some fun alternative ways to support everyone in this bundle. check out the links and keep an eye out for more info and promos! it really helps us all out while we wait out this storm.

Hello #InverteFest, I have a bunch of prints available of my marine inverts and tbh I could really use the support right now. If you've ever been interested in my art, now is the best time to buy it.

I updated my shipping prices; shipping is now available internationally for all zines, prints, and earrings!

If you've ever thought about buying something from me, now is the time. You'll get some cool art and help me stay afloat while I balance 5 concurrent emergencies

I'm still taking these!

I hate sharing personal trauma on the internet, but this year has been really really hard and I have a lot of sudden emergency costs. If you can afford it, sending me $20 for a doodle or buying something from my store would make a huge difference rn.

🎮 Prince of Persia: the Lost Crown🎮

I missed the hype for this game last year, but now I have a PS5! And wow, what an incredible game.
This is my favorite metroidvania/search action game to come out since hollow knight. Really loved the platforming challenges and the map exploration.

Blue Prince is a Conversation with the House. A comic essay by Ari Ganahl Contains minor spoilers for themes and mechanics in the game Blue Prince

This feels like a silly time to post this, but I drew an essay about the game Blue Prince and I want to share.

This game got inside my brain in a way I really enjoyed, and I have thoughts
(no spoilers for puzzles or plot)

Honestly, there isn't enough reason for me to bother. i pretty much always have the ability to end there, so i do. exceptions have been rare

sure, but (anyone reading this) consider this a spoiler tag:

billiard room -> break room

especially once the foundation is fully unlocked, it changed so much about how i approach a run

"Gay people think they can do anything" is my favorite stereotype. It's not hard to research and learn new things. I've figured out phlebotomy and stage lighting and excel, yes I think I can do home repair.

I had to do a double take to understand what I was seeing. I've never seen someone embroider sculptures like this; it looks incredible!!!

A white background with a cream ceramic tile which has a sculpture set on it. Nine hand embroidered mussel shells are clumped together.

Inspired by the sections of my local beach covered in Mussels. Over the years I have taken many photos of these beautiful structures.

I'm so pleased that I've been finding more #invertebrate papers to use for bookbinding lately. 🐡

The texture on these feels so nice.

Will I ever remember that I have an art tag? 🖌️

I am less miserable than I have been in a long time, but every day is so scary.

Itch is no longer the way to go, but I will still send a pdf (or physical copy!) to anyone interested in this. Message me and I'll tell you how

i just think they should invent a 2025 where Bad Things Stop Happening

nobody thinks about who owns the piece of plastic they use to buy stuff until exactly the moment where the piece of plastic says "No but not this one though. You can't buy that, it's bad for our brand."

you don't have a fucking brand!!! being invisible is the best case scenario for you!!!

My package from @fossilforager.bsky.social came in, and now I have more things in my sea slug collection!!!!!

My fellow sea slug enjoyers... go get you some slug stuff 👀

Here's my concept stuff for Foxglove. I wanted him to have very cool top surgery scars but also a neat, cracked spooky hand and of course, a giant t-dick and magical cock to boot. Another blatant fantasy of mine come to life because that's the good stuff. 😜

More than four out of five Americans, 83%, said they were concerned about the cost of groceries, with 46% saying they were very concerned. Some 47% said they were worried about being able to pay their rent or mortgage, 64% said they were worried about affording an unexpected medical expense. About 48% said they believed they would have trouble affording an unexpected $500 bill without borrowing. One in four said it would be "very difficult" A quarter of those surveyed said they spent at least three hours a day worrying about their finances and ability to afford basic necessities. Another 25% of respondents said they or someone in their household had skipped meals in the past year in order to make ends meet, and 26% said they had fallen behind on their monthly bills over the past year.

Fuck the stock market reports, this is what real life is like
