I didn't use to be able to decode narcissism at a glance, but basically he's mad that Mad Dog Mattis and his colleagues didn't bend the knee.

Honestly I have never been so accepting of the armed forces as when Mattis openly shunned Trump.

It's been odd being an only child. I catch so much shit for it, while all the siblings I know all but torture each other simply for existing.

Look, my parents are just as immature and self absorbed. I'm not special, we're all just dealing with the folks who made us. Be nice to your sibling.

iFunny and mematic watermark? You're bullshitting.

More just indicative of the hostile posture of corporations

Off-brand controller. No screen. Drone only. No items. Final destination.

It's time to start shaming people who think like this

Things being "a thing" are not the same as "acceptable outcomes occurring"

Emphasis on "slightly"

Quite so, but I'll be damned if fans are ever going to redo TES6 in whatever engine they make for (god forbid) TES10, forty years from now.

In August 2023, Todd Howard described his intent behind The Elder Scrolls VI as wanting to make "the ultimate fantasy-world simulator",

That's when you should have known. TES is at heart a novelistic series that is owned by a studio whose entire style is now "short term crafting and gameplay loops occurring within a physics simulation".

Hilarious to imagine needing this much interface to control a drone.

 

A man in Nashville was in a car accident and had a severe skull and brain trauma.... I'm hearing that he checked himself out of the hospital because they wouldn't let him vape. He has been seen walking around town with his head looking like a bitten cookie with several inches of exposed brain. Acting like nothing's up.

The footage is not for the faint of heart. Or anyone, really.

 

Weird Shit 2024, anyone?

 

Literally about ten seconds. Was happy with the construction at least

 
 

Having great fun trying to depict my setting (link) in Flowscape.

In order to create the dramatic geography of this city, the cliff faces are actually 3D mountain assets rotated and transformed. As I get more familiar with the software I'm excited to see what else I can do.

Hopefully I get faster, as this setting has over 50 towns and cities...

 

This is a work in progress. I'm currently doing some post processing in GIMP 2.0 to make it look more painted. This was made in Flowscape (a first foray).

Here's more about the town: https://app.kanka.io/w/7004/entities/150111

I made quesabirria de res and proveletta cheese with consomme. My little innovation is that I gave it a pat of cilantro garlic compound butter with flake salt on top. I'm gonna die happy. These are the best tacos I've ever made. They taste better than being thin, god help me.

 

A normal septagram continues in an unbroken loop, and is used by some to ward off evil as "god's favorite number". This broken septagram represents a failed attempt to resist evil. We can see pentagrams within from multiple angles, askew, but always frustrating the eye. We cannot ever fully defeat evil, nor attain divinity.

 

Living in a walkable city means my weekly shop is a few hours of walking or biking instead of being stuck in traffic, and I'm only mildly tired afterwards since I use a bike with pretty large pannier bags. Since I have no car related costs I can afford more fresh food, a healthier diet, and I can afford to be more choosy about the ethics of what I buy. There's a twice weekly farmers market about a ten minute walk away, and quiet walks through parks to get to the shops. Living somewhere with car centric infrastructure, as I used to, this lifestyle was far less feasible.

Have your experiences been different with moving to walkable/bikeable cities? Any questions or points to be made? I'm not very up on the theory side of city planning, but my experiences line up with the whole "fuck cars" thing.
