I couldn't have done it if I stayed in the states. No judgment on anyone who lives in a structurally car dependent area and doesn't have a good alternative
It would be at least comprehensible that China is risking world war over this island if it made some kind of strategic sense as a conquest, but reunification appears very much just plain ideological. I hate that.
I may be an outlier, but it feels great to be car free in a walkable city.
People who are having a great time at work are the reason I like WFH
Art used to be considered not very worthy unless it had a moral message. The modern art movement helped us break free of those limitations. The new way society has found to limit the arts is the notion that art should be made for profit, and valued mostly in terms of price.
Sequels and reboots are an aspect of this, I'm beginning to feel. The code of old games should absolutely be maintained so that access to them is preserved, but what's the real value of a remake, if the point is not to contribute to the conversations the original was influencing?
Creatives who aren't driven by a hunger for new ideas and fresh concepts don't usually leave us works that deserve to be revisited and maintained, but even works of homage should bring something new to the table.
Take Skywind; they're remaking Morrowind, but they're adding their own content, expanding on what was there, and flattering the source material to the extent that the original looks somewhat shabby in comparison.
If there is something worthwhile to be done with Fallout at this point, people can do it whether Todd Howard likes it or not. Tim Cain is totally on point here, and I wrote too much bye
We are all but dust in the wind, dude!
It's an RPG thing, except I don't have a group at the moment so it's pretty much just world building for its own sake
Yep. At 72 ppi.
Good news, during wartime and periods of intense crisis, some people experience a temporary paradoxical increase in mental health. So, I've got that going for me.
There's no way to replace Joe without his consent. Do you have any real ideas how that can be accomplished?
We know what he'd do.
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).

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.
Absurdity is cruel, and cruelty is absurd.
But those tomatoes really stole the show
