It is unwise to get into an argument on the internet. You will then be in an argument on the internet and that is a sorry place to be.

Another power outage today, and as a bonus, the battery on our generator died. Always fun to have that happen during a blizzard.

I just had a whole conversation where I repeatedly called the Strait of Hormuz the 'Strait of Vermouth' and only realized it after the fact. ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ

My continued adventures in book cover design are going... I can't say well exactly. They are certainly going though.

Absolutely blown away by the demo of The Eternal Life of Goldman. The storytelling is incredible and the visual style is a joy to behold. My enjoyment was only mildly tempered by my being pretty terrible at precision platformers.

This is an extremely pro-sandwich community.

It has always been my policy to be kind to witches. On the basis of the fact that I have never once been turned into a newt, I think it's going well.

The new Muppets show was pretty great. Breeziest half hour of television I've seen in a while.

Co-op is kinda booming right now. And the pitch of 'Skyrim friendslop' would definitely be able to find an audience.

Flip that y-axis. Same information, just put the 0% at the top and the 100% at the bottom, so the line is going up. Line goes up is good.

I've been using Inkscape for a few years now and can vouch for it as a fantastic program. If you hit a snag, there are several solid youtube channels that will walk you through how to do the thing you want to do. Logos By Nick in particular has saved my bacon at least half a dozen times.

Tried making some book covers. Since I am still figuring out illustration, I had to rely on typography and various free stuff I found on the internet.

This is probably a personal taste thing, but I hate it when a new TV show is dumped, in it's entirety, all at once, on a streaming service. One new episode every week makes me a lot more likely to actually watch a show. It's more digestible that way.

Through some admittedly half-assed research, I have learned that Lake Superior has at least two localized cryptids. One which is a 75 foot long green serpent named Pressie, and the other, Mishipizheu, is an enormous aquatic horned panther.

I propose that we start stacking umlauts. The higher the stack, the further from gender you are.

Nothing wrong with it. French bread pizza is a filling and surprisingly inexpensive meal. Two baguettes, sauce, cheese and pepperoni will feed a family of four easy.

Every time I see a trailer for GOAT, the anthro animal basketball movie coming out in a few weeks, I can't shake the feeling that it would make for a pretty incredible video game.

Having the hp logo on the front of the left shoulder is fine. Having it on the belly is fine. But doing both of them makes them look a tad desperate. We know you're there, fellas.
