He's being incredibly stubborn about this new meme he's pushing. It's just such a weird hill to die on.

Some more polish work on this segment of the mines-
added the secret room (nothing in it yet), @jordizzle.bsky.social added a death frame for the Knobhoblin, made subweapons always force the goblins away from you so you don't accidentally fling them toward yourself, etc!

The majority of published authors in 2026 in women, along with the literary buying public.

You're using 1990s and prior framing on a publishing world that has completely changed over the past 30 years

90s were dominated by Squaresoft and Nintendo lost Squaresoft by sticking with cartridges over CDs. Notice it's not even possible to distill all the games people love on the PlayStation 1

The point is that she went out of her way to mock her political opponent for something he was completely correct on and she was completely wrong.

That's a terrible look, and deserves to be mocked, regardless of party.

Which 1911 film is it? I had a chance to see the Italian L'Inferno from around that time period with a live music accompaniment a year or two ago and am wondering if that's the one you're talking about

She didn't understand that America's horses came from Spain and was making fun of Rubio for brining this up. It made her look bad. I actually do like her, but she did not come off well

The original movie, The Wages of Fear, that it is a remake of is better. Everybody just gets hypnotized by the Goblin score

Goat demons defend a shrine from scorpion demons in cave full of cracked magma.

Goat demons defend a shrine from scorpion demons in cave full of cracked magma.

Here's an attempt at creating a "cracked lava field" sort of tile. The orange is brighter than it's supposed to be according to the game's palette rules, but I'm thinking that this could potentially be a case where it's worth it for an emissive lighting effect.

Found art I made at age 9: DEMO CHEMO.

It was about a flagrantly unsafe chemical plant/nuclear reactor that also sold food to the public.

My 4th & 5th grade gifted teacher, Mr. Elrick, was cool—he hung it up behind his desk for 2 years.
