This was a fun one to do. In five minutes, I will realize I omitted something glaringly obvious. OH WELL.

Wow, I barely recognize them without this:

A closeup of the Nightreign Defeat screen, showing an Ironeye on the ground, with the word "DEFEAT" above them, shrouded in red haze. Above that is the blue revive wheel; all three segments are full. Careful observers will note that the ground behind the Ironeye is green, which only happens on the Sentient Pest expedition, and not Balancers, which OP's work is depicting. Side note: I've basically only played Ironeye once, to get the Platinum trophy. I prefer Duchess, or with the arrival of the DLC, Undertaker.

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't grunge. With apologies to Mia for stealing her phrasing, The Trashcan Sinatras’ I’ve Seen Everything forever changed me.

The Flag of California has the correct amount of simplicity, general flagginess, and Tarot deck weirdness. I will not be taking questions at this time.

The Flag of California, admired for flaggy qualities, and yet if you drew it from a deck, the Tarot reader would go still and draw a sharp intake of breath, leaving you wondering if the bear was coming for you, yes you

I realize humanity is a rich tapestry, our collective mileage varies, etc, but everyone I know, including myself, who has offered “it’s complicated” wrt to Israel and Palestine desperately wants to find a way to simplify without sacrificing nuance, so that others will join us in working toward peace
