Pixel art close-up of a seal's face on a white background. It has white pupils and a sinister expression. The white background features spirals and dots in gray, brown, and purple. Slightly less than half of the image is filled with black vertically and reads "Don't. Take. Away. My. iPad." with each word below the other.
Don't.
it kind of sucks that my primary device for socialization and entertainment is also my primary device for feeding my brain distressing updates about the ever-worsening state of the world

having written about how banning web scrapers from a code forge i host made it usable again and saved ~60€/y in power bill, let me tell you:
you cannot fathom the offloaded cost of GenAI on small web hosts. it is a veritable distributed denial of service to the entire web. Every web admin sees it.
cover art for Qelochia from Steam. a character from the story is depicted next to the title. the background is filled with multicolored, scrambled unicode characters
gameplay screenshot. one of the characters is depicted in the center. she looks half robot, but her lower half is missing, with her guts and spinal cord floating. transcript of the text on the right: Camera Feed: Pop! A pustule explodes, and the two flinch. Green fluids splat against an invisible force field, and ooze down to the floor. Impiana: "Damn!" she says, casually, without care. Camera Feed: Pop. Pop. Pop. The rest of the pustules explode, like firecrackers, and floating green mucus obscures the beast. Camera Feed: From beneath the counter, a trio of floating robots fly out. The green ooze falls, and the bots begin the work of cleaning it up. Camera Feed: On the slab, the beast stills. A machine injects a syringe into one of its 'nuclei'. Frost: "...Is that a success, or...?"
Qelochia is a short visual novel that absolutely blew me away and that i could not stop thinking about. in my 75 minutes with it i experienced cyberpunk themes, yuri, deep philosophical discussions about ethics and sentience and more, weirder yuri. i will be very insane once it releases

It’s funny if you call PayPal or visa lines and bring this up asking why they claim “adult illustrations” is against their regulations but betting on the death of kids is totally fine. They don’t have an answer.
In fact yall should call them at least once a day with this :)
Commentary: Anyone Else Have Those Weird Dreams Where Sobbing Future Generations Beg You To Change Course?
Quite literally, until you have 10 reviews Steam doesn't surface you at all.
Those first 10 reviews change everything. If you see a game with less than 10 reviews, you are being shown a life you can dramatically improve.
Qelochia cover
28. I didn't know what to expect from Qelochia but "lesbian romance visual novel about a scientist who is also a bed of flowers and a girl who's a floating robot torso doing unethical science on the creature from The Thing which may or may not be sapient and its relationship with the on-site AI" -
Trailer for our upcoming game Qelochia, with a demo available for NextFest!

If there was a secret cabal running all of western capitalism over the last decade-ish with the express goal of killing animation, I don't know how it would look different from what we've been seeing

I've been watching what's happening in Minneapolis and I don't know what to say. Two American citizens killed by ICE in three weeks. Countless more who are not citizens. People afraid to leave their homes.
For those of us not living in Minnesota, are some things we can actually do:
Silly simplified drawing of a Canada lynx trotting to the right. Its proportions are only slightly exaggerated to emphasize its massive, fluffy paws.
shape of the creature...why are you so paws

Genuinely the only thing keeping me going—but it really is keeping me going—is how good it is to see people link arms and push for this to end.
I cannot stop thinking about how much love people can have for their neighbors, and how much work and money is poured into breaking that love apart.
Why do we have to die
For us to see the light? ✷
If the admin's strategic goal was to break public resistance to immigration enforcement activities, it was a tactical mistake to go to the Twin Cities.
