A pencil drawing of a woman reclining in bed, but her hands look kind of fucked up, and her face has been scribbled out, apparently in frustration by the artist

I just became aware of this incredibly relatable drawing by John Singer Sargent.

Psst: Helioscope has a WHOLE BUNCH of books & prints & original art on sale right now, for…pre-Black Friday, I guess? Many, many items are at 20% off. Go take a look! www.etsy.com/shop/Heliosc...

2023 tweet screencap: the person asks "what is the most useless piece of video game knowledge you know?"

i was going through my X archives and found this by @superpodsaga.com, which I qrt'd at some point years ago

so, let me bring the question back: what is the most useless piece of video game knowledge you know?

What Happens When You Steal Items in Zelda Link's Awakening? YouTube video by ProsafiaGaming

It is in the Switch version! www.youtube.com/watch?v=8hWD...

Takizawa: Volvagia [in Ocarina] is a dragon, so it wriggles and undulates. I only gave Morita-san the dragon model parts, but he set it in motion immediately. It was mysterious how he could do that. I couldn't help but ask how he did it. He said it was the same as the programming for Star Fox 64. There's this scene when another fighter aircraft is tailing Arwing and… Iwata: … Oh, that? That's right! It's the same! … The way the fighter moves as it flies and Volvagia's movements are exactly the same. Morita: I could do it easily by switching in the dragon for the fighter.

And this is probably why!

There is a model of the ship from starfox in the code for Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time which is unused.

There is also an enemy in Super Mario World that goes unused, and is never used again titled the block dancer

In Blazblue, the character Platinum the Trinity has a jab where they do either rock, paper or scissors

This makes no difference in almost all situations EXCEPT when they are fighting another Platinum. If they both jab each other at the same time, the "winner" gets the hit

A yellow lightbulb mascot is stuck in a doorway.

Terumaru, a bright young lightbulb and the mascot of the Tokyu Denki electric company, trapped in a door yesterday:

A screenshot from a pet shelter in Kansas City Missouri. An adult female dark tortie-colored cat named "A 4 Hour Long Essay on a Theme Park"

I will die for you, A 4-Hour Long Video Essay on A Theme Park.

The drama. The choreography.

"Timeless" Toni Storm + Mina Shirakawa has us GLUED to the screen with their first official entrance as the Timeless Love Bombs!

Oh this is a nice start. Now kill gemini

New HHS guidance

The search sucks, the AI results are annoying and useless, and I'm so tired of all the pop ups harrassing me to try gemini. No thank you.

I'd pay money to use google from 10-15 years ago.

This is such a cool list, omg #ttrpg

A watercolor painting of a Black woman's head. Drawn in brown ink and colored with watercolor.

Little bit of a head study from this morning. Fountain pen and watercolor.

Full page illustration of a red-skinned barbarian, Axe, sitting underneath a tree in a grassy meadow, looking through a box of books and scrolls. In the background, the elf Good kind reassess raises her arms, gesturing underneath an arch of vines.

Comic page of Goodkind, and blonde-haired elf, getting yelled at by the fairies. The fairies are a mustached man with green hair, a voluptuous woman with pink hair, and a screaming mantis. They all have glowing green wings.

Comic page of Axe and Goodkind having a chat as the sun sets, bathing them in dramatic golden light. We fade out on silhouettes of them sitting under the vine arch.

Comic page of Axe and Goodkind in a new location. It's night now, and we're in a forest village with houses built into trees. Goodkind lectures Axe from a window while he seems to be lightly bullying a brown-haired elf.

Selected pages from my latest work with DOTA2! Currently viewable in-game only. Pencils, inks, and colors(day scene) by me, with additional colors(night scene) by @rennerei.bsky.social!

I didn’t know this existed and I love him now

Text above and below reads, "No art without workers!")

Some — if not much — of the problem we face today is in not believing Republicans are cruel — when they have been demonstrating in deeds and words otherwise for many years.

JD Vance claims that diversity weakens unions, as people end up distrusting each other and not organizing.

Let me tell you two menswear stories related to this claim. 🧵

I gotta make sure its fresh before next time so i can impress all the old japanese ladies when I can respond to them too xD
