Fuck ChatGPT flyers. The future is broadsheets.

A crowded broadsheet with way too many fonts. It says:
Forget ChatGPT Flyers

Broadsheets
Unlimited fonts
Stretch them

No whitespace

Updating this while I sit by the phone waiting to hear back from a recruiter to see if they have anything yet, still. I feel like I'm losing what's left of my mind in search of something very basic that no longer exists. I always hate asking, but invoices are coming in too slow and too small. Still.

This was an extremely hilarious email to get from bsky! It's my list, for my use. There's no way to make a private list, and the only way you'd know you've been added to it is if you subscribe to a bot that tells you. But somehow my personal list is offensive to others and they CAN make it private.

Also I'm slowly grinding my way through writing up the tier list for all 420 characters again, and if you haven't played much/any of the game and are wondering how deep some of the characters go (surely I didn't with having so many after all), here's Void Child Inquisitor Ufuoma

Ufuoma is S tier, but that's partly because of their unique skill. Firstly, we have to talk about Void Child stats and some of the sort of secret lore of the game. They get low Hp and Mp, but very low Mp costs, +125% Armor, and immunity to critical hits. Vulnerable to DoTs, but pretty resistant to burst damage and easy to use. Since they're immune to critical hits, Ufuoma doesn't have Condemn to apply guaranteed crits to an enemy or themself. Instead they have Foreordain. Foreordain deals damage to all enemies based on Ufuoma's own Armor stat, which again, is more than double most characters, but there's a catch. When using it, if there's more than one enemy, Ufuoma debuffs themself with an Armor -50% penalty. What's not in the description is that if there IS only one enemy, Ufuoma actually gains a 30% Armor buff. If you hover over the buff icon it'll say flavortext about it being an Ippwidden Chapel service. There's two armor items that relate to this, the Ippwidden Chapel Chalice that gives Devotion and Armor when only one enemy remains, and the Ippwidden Chapel Headband that buffs the same stats when at least three enemies have been knocked out.

Anyway, Foreordain makes them S tier. It's strong enough that you can build Ufuoma's equipment to just focus on raising Armor, start the fight with it to clear out the weak enemies, use Purging Flame to damage whoever's left while getting the Armor debuff cleansed from yourself, and then either heal or Condemn again. Divine Valor also synergizes really well, and makes starting fights off with that extra 40% Armor even more useful. The thing holding them back from S+ is that without Condemn they have no single target burst damage for when there's an elite enemy you need to take out at the start of the fight, and because they are so focused on one strong skill it can lead to not supporting the team as much as the other Inquisitors do. But still, a rather secretly strong character.

I'm partial to this one

Professor X asks a girl, "what is your mutant power?"

Girl replies: "I can guess how many pulls to turn a ceiling fan off on the first try!"

She points up and says: "3 pulls"

Professor X stands up and pulls 3 times. After the third pull the fan turns off.

Professor X: "Yeah thats cool and all, but not really a super power..."

Girl: "Yeah I was jut kidding, I can heal paraplegics"

Professor X, still standing: "Oh my god"

If you see a random rock in a game, just out on its lonesome in an otherwise walkable area, chances are extremely high that there's some weird terrain seam that kept fucking up the pathing or making you fall off the world right at that spot. Nobody could figure out why, so... rock to the rescue!
