Great big buckets of rancid sour grapes from a rancid and sour man. (skip to 3:40, where it gets really bitter.)

Finished my train doodle from earlier today while watching @JenJen stream. Was inspired by both her current artwork of her cyberpunk comic character as well as the song "Come And Find Me" by ESA (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h5Lzct2_Zp8).

It would be so nice if capture cards came with linux compatibility by default. I found a youtube video that listed a bunch of linux-compatible ones but they were all charging a very silly premium for the privilege of not having to switch to windows

What Apple have done in the UK is shameful. Instead of competing or arguing on the merits, they've gone to the last redoubt of market manipulators: process arguments.

It's shocking that the tribunal defaulted in this way to a reading of the statute that is not in line with intent, but the result is that Apple have taken the leader in browser regulation out of the game on a technicality:

I really liked "The Destroyer of Worlds" (sequel to "Lovecraft Country") by Matt Ruff. It kept everything I liked about the original, and felt like a natural continuation of the same story, but also went in some interesting new directions.

So now I wonder if you could make a gay Atelier knockoff called like Atelier Arnie and just get away with it

I noticed some of the Atelier games are on sale so I searched Steam for "Atelier" to get a quick overview.

It turns out that there are now two different wholly unrelated H-games called "Atelier [Protagonist's Name]." One of them even imitates the visual style of the logos for the Koei-Tecmo RPGs.

You'd think KT's legal team would have called in an airstrike by now but both games are over a year old
