CONGRATULATIONS TO VIVIAN PAPER MARIO FOR GETTING HERSELF UNCENSORED IN ENGLISH AFTER TWENTY YEARS

Which is worse with no heat and or air conditioning?

Great news for fans of Vivian from Paper Mario 2, who is now officially a trans woman even in the english translation!

It wasn't the endless shrimp after all...

I've seen a LOT of horrible tech ideas in my time. But the Microsoft announcement for a Windows feature (apparently enabled by default) to take and store screenshots every few seconds of everything you do on your PC has to be one of the most high privacy risk concepts I've ever seen. Even stored locally on the PC, it's a recipe for domestic abuse, government abuses, and a long list of other nightmares. Microsoft has jumped the shark BIG TIME.

back in my day we called this spyware

#AI #privacy #Microsoft

OK #Linux community, listen up.

MS have done it again and people are looking for a way out.

DON'T TREAT NEWBIES LIKE SHIT.

DON'T ATTACK PEOPLE FOR ASKING QUESTIONS.

DON'T ATTACK PEOPLE FOR HAVING PROBLEMS.

DON'T TELL PEOPLE TO "GOOGLE IT" WHEN THEY COULDN'T POSSIBLY KNOW WHAT TO SEARCH FOR, OR HOW TO INTERPRET THE RESULTS THEY'D FIND.

DON'T BE A DICK.

🐭sometimes you go to throw trash away and it bounces off for no reason??? well, I think I finally figured it out

Hey y'all! I'm looking for a pixel artist to help out on my game!

"Enigma Heart" is a retro-styled side-scrolling action RPG. There are no palette restrictions, although I would like to keep the visual style in roughly the SNES era. Tile size is 16x16; most characters are 1 tile x 2 tiles (16x32).

Some of the graphics have already been done by me and another artist, so a style similar to ours/ability to match it, is a must. Screenshots of the game (as it currently stands) are attached to this post.

Needed are graphics of the player character, some NPCs, monsters, and dungeon and town backdrops/tilesets.

Please reply to this post, or if you're more comfortable with a private mention, that's fine too.

Boosts are greatly appreciated!

Saw this in the bathroom of the Queer Friendly Coffee House:

We've adopted saying "for morale" rather than "as a treat".

e.g.,

• Having a nap for morale.
• Eating ice cream for morale.
• Spending time relaxing with my wife for morale.

Turns out we do a lot of things for morale.

And we thought dealing with a bug that lost photos on iOS was bad, turns out the opposite might be worse:
