The problem with being Multidisciplinary is that anytime you have an Idea you hold it up to all the different pieces of media like "oh this should be a short story... no maybe it's better as a game... no maybe a webcomic..."

What does it mean for the probability to be five percent? Well, that’s five percent. But six percent? Well, that’s still five percent. Four percent is also kind of five percent. Three percent is two percent. And two percent is basically impossible.

are you fucking kidding me not only is there a West-eros and an E(ast)soss there's also a South-oryos

Wikipedia excerpt of "Sothoryos", a continent from A Song of Fire And Ice:

Sothoryos

To the south of Essos is the continent of Sothoryos[25][115] (mistakenly spelled Sothoros in early novels).[116][117] Sothoryos is the third continent of the known world, and is vast, plague-ridden, covered in jungles, and largely unexplored. It is reported to be as large as Essos and described as a "land without end" by Jaenara Belaerys, a Valyrian dragonlord from before the Doom of Valyria.

The continent is first named on a map in A Storm of Swords (2000), showing the cities of Yeen and Zamettar on it.[25] The narrative itself first refers to the continent in A Feast for Crows (2005).[116] Martin had described Sothoryos in 2002 as "the southern continent, roughly equivalent to Africa, jungly, plague-ridden, and largely unexplored."[S 56] The novels provide little other information. The swampy nature of Sothoryos is briefly referenced by Victarion in A Dance with Dragons,[115] and teak from Sothoryos is said to be used to build ships.[117] A corsair's road runs along the continent's northern coast.[115] A Dance with Dragons refers to the diseases on Sothoryos regarding the wealthy but sick Yunkai'i slave trader Yezzan zo Qaggaz.[118][119] Victarion describes some people as "squat and hairy as the apes of Sothoros",[116] and some people fighting in Daznak's Pit for Daenerys's entertainment in A Dance with Dragons are described as "brindle-skinned half-men from the jungles of Sothoros".[120] Martin said that, unlike other peoples in the novels, the brindled men of Sothoryos were pure fantasy constructs.[S 49]

Something I realized I didn't actually understand: I thought that the fact that the Axiom of Choice is independent of ZF, and the continuum hypothesis is independent of ZFC, is similar to Euclid's Fifth Postulate: you should be able to pick either one and see what theory arises from it 🧮

Something deep inside me told me I should draw Donkey Kong today.

A four panel comic titled "Hours, Bananas, Doors."
Donkey Kong awakens staring at himself in a mirror, then stares down at his hand as he notices a strange watch on his wrist.
Staring at his wrist, the watch turns out to be one of the numbered bracelets from 9 Hours, 9 Persons, 9 Doors from the Zero Escape series. It's Junpei's bracelet. For some reason.
Peach then asks a confused Donkey Kong, "Donkey Kong? Have you ever heard of the Parallel Banana Theory?"

Your website should be your ol’ reliable for your comic, your place you can call home. Social media and “webtoon” platforms should be used for crossposting and nothing more! They should never be trusted, they can always disappear tomorrow, but with a website your comic has a safe consistent home!

Also that this is based on decades if not centuries of artistic shorthand of rendering chainmail for ninja as this fishnet mesh texture, that then just becomes fishnets through broken telephone.

I intend to use my profits from the game to fund and uplift marginalised and underrepresented creators. I’ve already begun that effort with the Draknek New Voices Puzzle Grant: grants.draknek.org (which is currently open for applications).

The Draknek New Voices Puzzle Grant is a grant opportunity for game developers from traditionally underrepresented groups and backgrounds who are interested in designing and developing puzzle games.

the Programs are rewritten in React and becoming Websites. the Websites are ported over to Swift and becoming Apps. the Apps are adding achievements and becoming Games. the Games are filled with numbers and becoming Spreadsheets. and the Spreadsheets? they're adding automation and becoming Programs.

I saw this pretty early on in tech where the programmers thought the AI could design and write documentation so they could code more, the designers thought it could code and write docs so they could design more, and the docs writers thought it could code and design so they could write more docs.
