Don't Pap Smear the Reaper

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH

AAAAAAAAAH

A digitally drawn homage to the George Herriman comic strip Krazy Kat. Starting left of frame we see yellow Ignatz Mouse having just thrown a brick which is sailing across the center of the frame and in another instant will bash the oblivious Krazy Kat (a blue bipedal cartoon cat wearing a red scarf) in the back of the head as he walks innocently to the right. Everything is drawn in rough black pen and colored in pale washes. A speech bubble from Ignatz reads ‘Maybe it will…’, the word ’Happen’ appears in the whooshing trail of the sailing brick, and a final speech bubble belonging to the Kat reads ‘…Today’.

So, first of all (this is super cool), but second of all to coders, mostly.

how would y'all implement this in a game engine? I've always struggled with that part. My background is on LEGO Universe, where we used freaking ScaleForm to draw live textures to do this, but that's probably uhh, overkill?

A sentient orange that has apparently had some form of brain surgery, sporting a wide but perhaps vapid grin. Maybe this orange knows more than it lets on, then again maybe not.

I’m looting a Trader Joe’s as soon as this Armageddon thing picks up speed

It's annoyed me since high school that the center crosses after the first one don't have tops - so lazy!

This Kate Bush #WutheringHeights dance print by @jambookshopuk.bsky.social is a steal at £14, surely? 🤩

No I'm not!
Shh!

doodlemancy @doodlemancy on cohost (rip): "the script at this point is just company: we're going to do something really extremely bad for our customers and possibly even people who aren't our customers. we think this is good an enormous, furious internet mob: we hate this company: we'd like to clarify our intentions. just to be clear: we're doing the same thing but we'd like you to hate it a little less now"

If you don't have a questionable friend that gives shitty and sometimes dangerous advice, AI is here to fill in the gap!

“nothing is real until it hurts me” slogan replaces “don’t tread on me” slogan on a Gadseden flag

how we got here

Mink Stole and David Lochary in the movie 'Pink Flamingos', in which a rich sex-trafficking couple are offended that a poor family are holders of the title of 'Filthiest People on Earth'.

John Waters tried to warn us about evil rich people!

Setup page for 'Orange Royale', a game mode in Orange Roulette. Two crazy oranges stare lovingly at each other.

A crazy orange and a 'mysterious stranger' orange face-off in a desperate battle for survival. A handy dangling sign lets Player One know that it's their turn to make a difficult choice.

Local two-player is now officially implemented for Orange Roulette! Challenge friend or foe (in the immediate vicinity). Keyboard or controller! New Royale options and round settings. Haptic feedback (where available). Orange you glad?

We take randomness for granted.


Early PRNGs were BAD.

Thousands of scientific papers used to rely on RANDU, created by IBM in the 1960s.

In 1D space, it looks ok!

Map in 3D…you start to see the issues. Now, there *was* a better solution...but it would cost you.

We just drop into the terrain like our collision detection was abruptly turned off.

The app of a thousand heartbreaks.

It is a problem, and the solution is that you have to call them 'shitheads' or worse, something they can't easily reverse embrace, but if they still insist to embrace will be hilarious. Even 'Garbage People' isn't strong enough.

dig if you will this picture

My wish for Trump to throw an audible poop-party in his pantaloons on live television has finally been fulfilled - but at this late date, the price was too high, just too too high.

His tuxedo might as well be that hot-dog outfit.

On February 1, 1986, Blacula was screened on WVTV Channel 18’s Movie 18. Here’s some William Marshall pop art!

Manos Restored New 4K restoration from 35mm blow-up internegative. Unlike the 16mm workprint, 100% accurate to original release. Audio from optical track negative, also restored. Ready in time for 60th anniversary, theatrical exclusive for a while, no fundraising needed.

Apparently they found a better print of Manos and it’s getting a 4k restoration I’m so happy. That movie still sucks.
