make sure to delete your nanowrimo accounts

(context: nanowrimo's statement on use of ai and calling the argument against ai "classist and ableist")

(additional context: nanowrimo is being sponsored by a ai company this year)

EDIT: someone in the comments has told me that apparently nano does not have you enter actual words-- regardless deleting is still the best course of action!

hey friendly reminder that “the loss of any human life is an inherent tragedy” and “the ≤1% paying a quarter of a mil. a head and signing a contract that explicitly mentions ‘death’ to disturb a mass grave while shoved in a literal bluetooth cheap-ass metal cylinder made by a company that eschews safety got exactly what they signed up for” AND “we shouldn’t have wasted taxpayer money to find a crumpled up Pringle’s can during several refugee crises” are all opinions that can and should co-exist.

Of course, we shouldn’t be so gleeful in their horrific deaths, especially there was a literal teenager that didn’t even want to go in there. Internet anonymity be damned, it’s the death of basic decency. And of course, we should rightfully be outraged that watching a bunch of ultra-rich blow their money to do something objectively incredibly stupid (to a MASS GRAVE with human fucking bone dust and preserved shoes, I cannot stress enough) is what’s hitting headlines and what people care about.

However, if you have any sort of basic human decency and a morality view more complex than that of a six year old, I’m sure you can easily reconcile all three valid opinions.

unrelated to the art but i think Zuke isn't necessarily a singer or an all-out karaoke person HOWEVER. In his head there's a very small list of really specific songs he'd cause a scene over of his own volition & his favorite is Perpetual Fool by Spacehog

I can feel it deep in my delusional soul that a jinx and viktor collab is on the horizon this season

i hung out with my dad yesterday and today and both times he used the term "boomers" (not inaccurately). today i said dad I've never heard you say that before, did you learn it recently? and he said yes he learned it from his brother who has been complaining about boomers. my dad was born '54 and his brother was born '57. i think this lens of analysis is not serving them

I know the discourse well is poisoned and no one hates bioware games more than bioware fans, but I am just 🫠 having so much fun with veilguard it's unreal. It is selfishly the dragon age game I always wanted. with less emphasis on cRPG, a more focused story, curated mission based design that spotlights the high fantasy stuff, slowburn structure with companions, significantly less sidequest bloat, and a fully real-time action-oriented combat system that isn't riddled with the growing pains of previous titles. when I first played origins I imagined something almost exactly like this as my ideal version of a sequel; and it was one of those dirty, selfish thoughts that I knew was disrespectful to the then-established DNA of the thing, but I can't help but feel giddy about having it here and now. like down to the shift away from the childishly dark tone and to something more inherently flexible with a baseline aspirational quality. I hate aesthetically depressing games so much. am I not alive right here and right now already

When I say "aesthetically" there though I do mean it. I'm fully on the opposite side when it comes to tone and positions expressed in the story itself. I am just not including that in my analysis because I am not done yet - so please no spoilers! I think I am where most people consider to be the second act, and I definitely have my gripes with the narrative framework and some of the optics, but I won't put the cart before the horse and will see how it wraps things up first. Above that level, in terms of how it presents itself, of how it plays, of how it balances its core pillars - it is such a bioware-ass game and I could not be any cozier in it. So grateful it exists

Hunt 102 and Hunt Drawing 99 nibs, maybe Joseph Gillott's Ultra Fine 303 too. I forget. The 99 (used mostly in the bottom panel) is interesting; flexible brass, almost handles like a brush with how varied the weights get. I had a hard time controlling it here, but this was only a test/doodle run anyway.

My nibs are beat to shit. Tempted to run up to the art store and grab a bunch of random ones to try out. They're like $0.99 each.
