Just getting by. He/Them, Pan, trying to work on myself. Love TTRPGS, Battletech and general nerd stuff. Anti-AI in almost all cases, especially Art. I also like a lot of lewd stuff, so make sure your settings are right lol.

I've posted my #kraken in discord servers I'm but but forgot to share it here as well, I moved on to the #aquos color scheme from Gundalian Invaders. I think it's a good result on one of my personal favorites!

I think a lot about a post by someone who ran a hobby shop of some form (forget if it was a comic shop or Warhammer store or what) that basically said putting up a little rainbow flag sticker on the door was the best business decision they made because they served as That Guy repellants.

Yeah I remember talking to a girl I liked on AOL Chat around then and their family computer was right off the kitchen so she said her mom just read everything she typed. Wild times.

I lived way out in the country so being a tech nerd was hard, but I've always loved computers.

The Matrox Mystique with a copy of MW2 was both my first video card and my first mechwarrior game. I was so nervous to put that card in, thought I was gonna break it.

It’s day 99 of the ICE occupation of MN.

We’re still out patrolling and raising money and delivering groceries to keep our neighbors safe.

Call and ask Mayor Frey to do the same by NOT vetoing Pause Evictions, Save Lives.

Anyone using stoat instead of discord? How is it? Does it do everything discord does? Really don't like how discord has moved lately, honestly here too, but we'll see about that later.

My wife hasn't used her old laptop in quite a while, so much so that it's not updated to windows 11, nor can it be. I put Linux Mint on it right now and it's like a new machine and does everything she needs it to. I don't understand the need to make things e-waste beyond greed.

Cat Burger - Gator Days

Characters

Catrick C. Cattington IV - Catfish - He might be a CEO of a company who is worth millions of dollars but he is just like you!

Stuart - Quokka - A perpetually smiling Sectional Manager. He tackles every problem with motivational corporate speak intended to maximize collaboration and synergies among all employees.

August - Alligator - A soft spoken single father who works in IT. Gustopher's dad.

Transcript

Panel 1

Catrick is filming an ad for a fast food restaurant's new product. He's excited to share it with you. He's wearing and tie so you know he means business but he also has a sweater vest on so you'll know he's friendly. He's also wearing gloves so he doesn't actually have to touch any food. There's a sign in the background that says "HOME SWEET HOME" which everyone hopes will disguise the fact that they're filming this in an empty conference room.

Catrick: I'm taking a break from my busy CEO schedule to show you our new product. Yummy.

Panel 2

Catrick is now sitting in front of a TV that says "CAT BURGER" with the Cat Burger mascot in the middle.

Catrick: I enjoy consuming product while sipping a loss leader and watching content on the subscription service.

Panel 3

Catrick has found himself two more food items from the Cat Burger menu. He's trying his best to keep them from getting too close to his mouth. In one had he has fries and in the other he has "Pistachio Spice" seasonal frozen treat. Does not actually contain pistachio.

Catrick: I like to finish my meal by dipping my added value side in a seasonal item. I do this several times a week.

Panel 4

Stuart is by the camera and giving Catrick feedback. No one has realized that no one has removed the cap from the camera. August from IT was brought in to see why the camera isn't recording anything. He's just standing there in stunned silence. He will not be getting Cat Burger for dinner.

Stuart: GREAT WORK, SIR! Highly relatable.

I think I remember reading that empanadas were a take on Welsh pastys because Welsh miners were brought into Mexican mines.

The author sits at her exhibit table next to a Mitski poster she designs. Two teens stand in front of her table.
One teen asks, β€œis that a REAL Mitski poster?”
The author answers, β€œhaha yeah … from 2015! Over a decade!”

I’m sorry, doing this in a baseball cap sold by your campaign store is deliberately disrespecting the dead.

I think the biggest damage to the art community was the obsolescence of gallery sites (y!, deviantart, etc) and the rise of scroll-by social media, like twitter and even tumblr. Art is not ''content'', you shouldnt need to post art every day (or every month!) to be relevant. This mindset sucks.
