Art From 2022

Here's something I haven't seen before:

A render of Millicent/Malenia's prosthesis that shows the interior of the cuff.

You can see the shoulder joint and the beginnings of a drive shaft that would operate the elbow and lower arm.

Yet again, the detail Fromsoft put into this game amazes me. This side of the model would never be visible in-game, but instead of leaving it solid gold or untextured they modeled actual mechanisms inside the shoulder.

i was not ready to jump into a new fandom but it just happened by itself!! inscryption is one of those games i wish i discovered much earlier tbh

Onceler but it’s my neighbor Totoro ghibli style✨

liberalism is a wild ride, pornhub advertises for breast cancer awareness, monsanto is an “LGBT-friendly” place to work, “this is what a feminist looks like” t-shirts are being made by impoverished bangladeshi women for cents a day. literally what is it going to take for people to wake the fuck up and realize that this is not what “progress” looks like?

I fully support the writers and actors currently on strike in America. Art is important and it’s sad hearing how some of these creators can be Emmy nominated but struggling to pay rent at the same time. It’s particularly enraging when you consider how much the executives and companies make.

I like that a by product of these discussions is how so many workers in other industries are now questioning their own companies. I genuinely believe that there are no truly altruistic and ethical CEOs. It’s been proven time and time again that if a person in power has the opportunity to screw over their workers: they absolutely will.

as my own direct immediate list of game grievances i hate that stardew valley expects you to side against a wheelchair user who is upset that he was moved without his consent. i hate that the mass effect trilogy gives you visible scarring as a direct result of choosing mean dialogue and heals it if you're nice. i hate that the vampire the masquerade ttrpg has a monstrous player class that can appear as horrible vampiric monsters or as visibly disabled people and both of these appearances are mechanically the same. i hate that dark souls games have a difficulty level implemented in a way that cannot be adjusted for disability. i hate that i can play as a mermaid or a werewolf or a horse in the sims games but can't use a wheelchair. i hate that the ace attorney games have so much flashing and not all of the games can disable it. i hate that disability is constantly something that happens to teach a lesson, i hate that disability is something that happens as a punishment, i hate that disability is either compensated perfectly with no drawbacks or something that is endlessly sought to be cured. i hate that no character customization will ever include the mobility aids i use, that the player avatars that represent me will never look like me. i am so goddamn annoyed and so goddamn tired.

I’m so serious when I say I am more than ok with there being a total shutdown of hollywood. Maybe folks like me will finally get caught up on movies and shows they’ve been meaning to watch but felt overwhelmed. In the meantime let’s start a book club for fanfics, get together for more in-person fandom events that are so much more healthy than online discourse. Literally if we just had a convention of ST fanartists and fic writers, panels with theorists instead of actors, it would be the best thing ever.
