The Gloam propagates in forgotten places. In derelict mines and abandoned stations. But humanity is fearful animal with many eyes. Small hives must be quiet; they whisper their blades to life. But in the great, weeping world-colonies, monsters are roared from iron wombs.

The Facial Expressions of Tethys by artist Julius von Bismarck. A suspended high-sea buoy that moves in real time. Sensors on a twin buoy out in the Atlantic Ocean send live satellite data to motors inside the museum. This makes the indoor buoy copy the exact, real-time movements of the ocean waves.

there is absolutely no way that a modern physics department could tolerate a weird, autistic asexual with crank fascinations outside of his notional field of study. it's impossible that that person could exist today.

Two year anniversary of when I first posted this comic

Two panel comic. Panel 1: an anglerfish is washed up on the ocean shore, laying in the tide. It thinks to itself, “it’s so beautiful.” Panel 2: wide shot of the beach, rocky cliffs, and sky at sunset, with the anglerfish still laying in place. The anglerfish continues thinking to itself, “I might have never known.”

I adore Witch Hat Atelier. The anime has adapted the manga so beautifully. It's reignited a love for not only creating art but studying it and its history, so I was so happy when @crunchyroll.com reached out to partner on a commission. Please watch WHA! #crunchyrollpartner #witchhatatelier

I call this the Knight Boat Principle and it is an unironic, genuine game design principle that I have, which can be briefly stated as: "if your core gameplay has a specific premise, your worldbuilding should be structured around enabling it, rather than the other way around." #LancerRPG

There’s a principle I talk a lot about in relation to Lancer game design which I call the Knight Boat Principle. In Season 6, Episode 13 of The Simpsons, “And Maggie Makes Three,” this exchange occurs:

TV Announcer: We now return to Knight Boat, the Crime Solving Boat!
[a boat chases several men on jet skis]
Michael: Faster, Knight-Boat, we’ve gotta catch those starfish poachers! Oh no, they’re headed for land!
[the starfish poachers switch from jet skis to motorcycles and speed away]
Michael: We’ll never catch ‘em now!
Knight Boat: Incorrect. Look, a canal!
[cut to the Simpsons’ living room]
Bart: Aw, every week there’s a canal!
Lisa: Or an inlet!
Bart: Or a fjord.
Homer: Quiet! I will not hear another word against the boat.

I actually hold the belief that it’s perfectly fine for there to always be a canal, or an inlet, or a fjord, because this is a show about Knight Boat, the crime-solving boat, and if you don’t have a waterway down which Knight Boat can travel, you are kneecapping the entire premise of your show.

Lancer is a game about mech fights. Major problems in the Lancer universe must always, in some way, have a solution that includes fighting in mechs. If players travel to a place in their mechs, it should be a place with architecture sized to reasonably accommodate them.

This is the guiding thematic principle around which I write for Lancer. I need to justify why the mechs are fighting in a theme park, but I do not need to justify why the mechs are able to fight in the theme park – In Golden Flame and in the greater extent the whole of Lancer is a setting about giant robots being used for things they definitely shouldn’t. If you need me to explain to you why the theme park uses fully-armed giant robots as mascots, you are in the wrong game.

Zohran Mamdani caught lying that he understood Plato’s allegory of the cave, yet when asked to explain it, he seemed to instead explain Baudrillard’s theory of Simulacra and Simulation where reality has been replaced by symbols and signs, which seems similar to Plato’s theory but is not the same
