small nitpick: at about 9 minutes in, you talk about a "swamp" when it's really a marsh! the difference is whether the vegetation is predominantly wooded, and you're clearly among grasses or other herbaceous plants instead. (also the map calls it a marsh haha)

Did it 👍 (eventually) [ #cuteart #illustration ]
An illustration of a very silly, stylized white cat giving a disproportionately large & more realistic thumbs up. They have a goofy, huge open mouth smile and big blush. Over them it says “did the thing*” and below them it says, in smaller type, “*that was on my to-do list for 6 months and took about 5 minutes to actually do.” The illustration is off a bright yellow background.

You know what? People who don’t like kissing don’t have to watch romances. Sober realists aren’t forced to sit through SFF. Grouches can eschew comedy and squeamish people are welcome not to watch horror films. Just let things exist for their target audience.

If you were to watch a person’s life unfold in slow motion, you’d witness more love and complexity than you ever thought possible. If you watched it in fast motion it’d look like a freaky little guy was spraying out hair and fingernails

11. On & On
My new album Crash Test releases Friday April 24th! 

It’s up for presave on all streaming platforms and for preorder on Bancamp. ( The Bandcamp version comes with a few bonus tracks! )

This project means a lot to me, I can’t wait for you all to hear it.

I haven’t talked about this publicly, but these past couple of years I’ve been dealing with a lot of health anxiety and panic attacks, which all caught up to me late last year. (Which is what the song Crashout is about)

I would go on these long walks, listening to music to drown out my thoughts. I kept imagining myself as a crash test dummy. Something made to be thrown into perilous situations. It was a way of calming myself down, 

“I’m not going through this, the crash test dummy is”.

Around that time the second anniversary of my game Kitten Burst was coming up and I wanted to make something for it. I decided to try finishing my song “A Million Postcards” with the vocal synth Kasane Teto. (I wrote the chorus while developing the game, but couldn’t figure out the verses in time for release)

I had such a fun time writing lyrics and tuning her voice, I decided to dust off my lyrics for Talk To You Later and finish that song too (It was the original counter song to Slowblink, but I thought it was too sad for an ending song). Then I dug up some old demos (Honeycrisp, Angels in the Static Snow) and finished those as well. 

One day I realized I had made a full album, and it had been months since my last panic attack. My head had been filled with melodies, lyrics, music videos, arg puzzles, 3D modeling, lore… 

One must imagine the crash test dummy happy.

TTYL,
       Jam

I dreamt of the beach (1/4)
Page one: text on black background, “WAKE UP!”. Eyes open, a baby sea turtle with an eggshell helmet says, “you need to wake up!”Page 2: helmet turtle says to a green baby sea turtle, who is waking up out off his egg, “we need to get moving.” CRASH! A cormorant breaks through the ceiling of their nest hole. Helmet turtle says MOVE!Page 3: “when you’re out there, beeline to the water. Don’t stop. Don’t be a hero. Godspeed.” The helmet turtle kicks baby green turtle out the hole off a cliff onto the beach below.Page 4: baby green turtle lands on the sand. The distance between him and the water is quite large. Another baby sea turtle is being devoured by a seagull and is screaming for help.

I just realized I never bothered to see if one Jean-Baptiste Emanuel Zorg played by Gary Oldman appears in the game at all and I am happy to report that he is and I'm here to rectify that omission with a few more screenshots.
Zorg, played by Gary Oldman, wearing his black suit and pants with a blue shirt, holding his Zorg Industries ZF-1 multi-use weapon that's basically every weapon in every boomer shooter rolled into one.

All of the Zorg screenshots have a pitch black background because the game bugs out a bit with the hacked camera but at least we can see the characters up and close. Here we see a nice side view of barely-Gary-Oldman's profile.Zorg turning the other cheek, but only to show off his thick face and plastic scalp plate.Somewhat-Gary-Oldman looking straight at us while pointing that ridiculous weapon and still managing to look fabulous in that suit.Up close and personal with Zorg, admiring his horizontally mirrored face and beautiful six-color pixelated face texture.

i got what you want
a man in a trenchcoat says "psst, hey, you seem like a discerning kinda guy. 
I got some stuff here you're ain't gonna find anywhere else. Great prices on it too."

He opens his trenchcoat to reveal a smaller version of himself opening his trenchcoat to reveal a smaller version of himself, going on in an endless tunnel inside of himself, saying "real genuine infinite recursion vortex. Goes on like this forever."
"$20 to spit in it. You can stick your hand in for $50.
$100 you can kiss it, and for $550 you can do whatever you want in or to the hole. But if you fall in, that's your problem.
Big problem too. Like, endlessly experiencing every moment of your life from birth to death in a single moment kinda problem. 
But hey, if that's what you're into, and you pay first..."

A cartoon drawing of various canines and a feline next to handwritten text. The first is a surly-looking wolf in a bathrobe gazing at the viewer while holding a coffee cup; text reads "Don't talk to me until I've had my coffee." The next shows two wolves happily drinking coffee together, with text reading "Only talk to me whilst drinking coffee." The next shows a wolf vibrating with emanata resembling scintillating scotoma around him; another gazes at him with concern. Text reads "Solely talk to me after I've consumed coffee." Lastly, a positively radiant cat looks at the viewer from a box with a nuclear trefoil on the front of it. Text reads "talk to me not knowing whether or not I've had my coffee."

One of my neighbors has been putting up these fish facts posters. All kinds of different fish, marine, freshwater, deep, shallow, all kinds. This is a good one. “Stg this real fish” took me out. Good work, neighbor.
A poster on 8.5 x 11 inch paper saga Fishtown fish facts: red lipped catfish or of ocephalus Darwini. Then a pic of that freaky fish with 4 limbs it rests on the ground and then the words “stg this fish real red-lipped batfish walk ocean floor with they flippers RLBF have RBF, not they fault
RLBF have a bioluminescent lure that glows to attract dinner 
RLBF lipgloss is popping, RLBF lipgloss is cool, all the fish keep jockin, they chase RLBF after school
RLBF got scales like armor and shine bright like a diamond
Red-lipped batfish will teach you how to dougie, I can promise u that.

Musicians playing Irish music in a Cambridge pub painted using mixed media. From left to right a fiddler, a tin whistle player, a guitarist and another whistler. A fiddle lays on the table among the depleted glasses of beer and Guinness. The gold-embellished mirror is a great feature of this pub and the dartboard is just sketched in on the left.

I had literally never played Magic before, but some friends of mine had put a cube together, so I read the How to Play page on the Wizards website and came over for a draft. It was a very overwhelming experience, but I went undefeated and was hooked on the game immediately. Here was my decklist:
