Update: we found the artist! Thank you everyone!

Any illustrators looking for commission work?

Olga and I are producing a play and are looking for artwork for posters, flyers, etc. The play is about dystopian future, but we are open to various interpretations of the story for the illustrations!

Game preservationists warn that, without legal reform, piracy may become the only way to preserve some digital-only games.

The Video Game History Foundation is urging the ESA to support museums and archives with legal preservation exemptions.

Today, youtuber dzuma made a video about my age verification bypass browser extension.

And since then, I've got a nonstop influx of people downloading the add-on, and it became the mosr starred one on my GitHub in just a matter of hours!

So, thanks a lot!! Glad I'm not the only one who's annoyed by this!

Global Schools Holdings Cites Two Injunctions in a Bid to Chill Our Reporting. It Won't Work.

Another day, another #legalthreat.

If you're a solo blogger or small outlet, don't panic just because you receive an injunction. They may have no jurisdiction over you, no matter how intimidating they may sound.

For years and years, I've been searching for a rare Canadian computer game - and I finally found it. Really excited to get to share Crosscountry BC.

If you grew up here there's a good chance you played Crosscountry Canada at school. This is the local BC version, made just for local schools, and tracking it down was *really* hard.

Just contributed my first drawing-tablet driver! 🎉 It is for this giant XpPen Artist Pro 27 (gen2) I received (sponsored in exchange of a review on my channel). I adapted the existing specs of the 16" and 19" and it taught me so much, from compiling to submitting a MR. Everything now works perfectly on my GNU/Linux KDE Neon Plasma... Feeling accomplished! Review video coming soon!

Following up from yesterday's post about PICO-8, this is Jelpi! Hes the PICO-8 mascot and sort of like a default sprite, kinda.

Anyways, he paid me a visit as you can see, so I made a comic about our adventures together!

Jelpi fan art!

The German Environmental Protection Agency @Umweltbundesamt has published an extensive report it commissioned on the potential role (or not) of nuclear power in achieving climate targets, in view of its feasibility, benefits for climate protection, and costs.

The report comes to the clear conclusion that nuclear technology "is not a quick or cost-effective option for significantly reducing the energy system's greenhouse gas emissions".

The report is here - in English!

What I saw VS what I drew 🪷

When I saw this baby moorhen standing on a sunny lily pad, I knew I had to draw them. This is a quick study drawn on a single layer and with a single brush!

mastodon needs to steal the "labeler" innovation from blusky.
being able to opt-in to labeling yourself and having others be able to opt-in to seeing those labels is very awesome.

Linux ported to Sega’s Mega Drive

If you have a Sega Mega Drive, you obviously want to run Linux on it. That's something you can do now. You do need to have an EverDrive, but don't worry, the port in question contains a custom fork of Qemu for those of us that don't.

I don't know what else to say, other than I wonder why nobody did this sooner.
