obey goose no. 3: lucifer broods

(part one) (part two)

lucifer cannot believe that he is getting jealous over a goose.

not even jealous of the goose. at least then the target of his attention would have opposable thumbs.

he is a mature demon. he can see reason. but it is so unfair that the goose likes simeon more than him.

what is it about simeon that makes him so special, huh? is it because he's an angel? no, because you still honk and hiss at luke all the same. is it the big cloak? no, because solomon has one too and he can't even go near you without being snapped at.

is it just because he's nice to you? not that either, because diavolo's absolutely lovely to you (far lovelier than most demons think a horrid goose deserves), and you still chase him down the hall whenever he's holding something you want.

so just what is simeon doing right?

the other day, he saw you sleeping in simeon's lap. sleeping. in his. lap. you won't even let most people with three feet of you!

as if to add insult to injury, simeon has started buying you treats. he has started making little wheat and oat biscuits specifically for you. he has bought you a little blue ribbon that you let him tie around your neck without lunging for his fingers even once.

you have started following him around the rad. it is now customary to see you waddling along behind him as he goes about his day, all other students giving you a wide berth. not that it matters to you, single-minded goose that you are.

lucifer had at first thought it was simply a case of you getting more tolerant. but no. if anything, you've gotten more tyrannical, and "argh! fucking goose!" has become a common cry around campus for when you cause mischief yet again.

at the very least, you don't deliberately go after him the same way you do mammon or levi. you seem to have a begrudging respect for him. which had stoked his ego at first, but now that he sees what you let simeon do, it's hardly a victory at all!

one day, he gets to rad early and finds that simeon has done the same - gone ahead of both solomon and luke. interest piqued, he follows simeon to... the archway where you sleep. of course.

"goose!" simeon calls up. "come here! i've got something nice for you!"

for anyone else, attempting to command you would be unthinkable. you are in charge; your honk calls the shots, and any foolish demon who thinks otherwise gets screamed at for their troubles.

but you come running, because of course you do. and you peep - peep! like a cute little chick and not a significantly large waterfowl, as simeon sets a little cup in front of you.

he has brought you strawberry water. you dunk your entire head in and come up with pink feathers. simeon giggles and carefully daubs the water from your feathers with the corner of his cloak.

strawberry water. was that the secret this whole time? surely not, because you had clearly already picked favourites before simeon first met you...

now this makes lucifer even more upset. simeon has been bringing you strawberry water, has he? has he not been bringing you that dish of beans every morning? if anything, he's proved himself much more concerned for your health! beans are far more nutritionally valuable than strawberry water!

this is all completely and utterly ridiculous and he cannot believe he is this bothered about a fucking goose. why does he even care?! it's fine. he's fine.

.............but STILL.

some oc lore

all of the members of the Junior Murderers Club (I call them Sixes) have bonded through childhood trauma, and LS is no different! they hated their name and hated being addressed by it, not necessarily because of gender reasons and not necessarily not because of gender reasons. she just was resentful and saw her name as a tie to her family, and so she hated when her friends (or anyone) called her lorena.

for a while she went by rena, but that was still Too Much and they just told everyone to call them 'LS' (their initials) as a placeholder, but then it stuck! now everyone calls her LS. now, whenever they meet someone 'in the workplace' (lol) that calls her by her birth name who isn't in the know, she will say dangerously "my name is LS. call me that again, and we will have problems"

LS is a goofball though and she lets the others call them by whatever acronym they can come up with for 'LS', the more absurd the better. my personal favorite is Leisurely Stroll, but other variations include LightSpeed, Little Sister, Little Shitter, etc.

[amigac0debasic13]

okay so I was talking about that bug game. um. I was actuallytalking about Vangers. This is slowly becoming related to my transformers obsession and I will be indoctrinating everyone I meet. if I turn one of these mechos into a transformer maybe then I can get more into my evil circle with popular tags

Ms paint doodles. I don’t know if I’ve shown my Ms paint stuff on here but okay. fun fact I doodle in Ms paint when I’m bored.

3D retexture of the starting mechos

spin around V

These 3d models were taken from the original game using the Tractor converter, check it out here!

Edited with blender to fix the many symmetry problems and textures in a (not legally obtained) substance painter using pixel8r!

Closeups + original ref screenshots below the cut. I’m trying not to rant and I’m not succeeding

^ NOTE, FOR 3D CREATIONS I WILL GIVE YOU THE BLEND/FBX FILES. JUST ASK.

ok now for how these guys look

And the mechos finally! Tumblr is lagging so fucking bad but I need to say that these high res spin rounds of the mechos aren’t how they look in game. Bitches are flat and low poly . I would model it to look more like it should but it’s funny

🎄💾🗓️ Day 16: Retrocomputing Advent Calendar - Tandy 1000🎄💾🗓️

Tandy's 1000, sold by Tandy Corporation in 1984 via its RadioShack stores, was a low-cost home computer designed to be compatible with IBM PC software. It shipped with an Intel 8088 processor, 128 KB of RAM, expandable to 640 KB, and had better-at-the-time graphics and sound than many of the standard PCs. The 1000 had the Tandy Graphics Adapter, or TGA, and the more superior SN76496 or NCR 8496 sound chips. The built-in joystick port also made it desirable for gamers and home users. Different models were produced, each with improved hardware, before being discontinued in 1993. One of the main selling features was its compatibility with IBM-PC, the MS-DOS operating system, and expansion slots for peripheral devices.

Watching Season 2 of The Gilded Age on HBO when it comes back on October 29? Play Bingo with us!

How to Sign Up

Use this form to sign up for a card and/or submit an idea for a square by Friday, October 27:

How to Play

You can participate in any or all of the following ways:

Sign up for your own unique bingo card(s) with yours and others' predictions, ideas, and/or off-the-wall concepts, then play every week as the show airs (#tgabingo)

Submit a prediction for a bingo square using the form above and your submission will show up on bingo cards - no submission limit

Follow this blog and watch others play as the show airs - a poll will be posted every week to publicly track results

How Cards Will Work

Everyone who signs up for a card will receive one

All card squares will be tracked in a Google sheet as the show airs

Card(s) will have 20-25 squares dependent on submissions(s)

Card(s) may be grouped into themes dependent on skew of submission topics (e.g. "Season Premier", "Russell Household", "John/Oscar") - you don't need to play every card you have, and you don't need to play every week, either

More details below!

What Predictions Are Accepted?

They should be short - they need to fit on a bingo square! Longer predictions may be edited or broken down for clarity.

You can suggest squares related to story beats, props/costumes/sets, overall arcs, casting, etc. The sky is the limit and nobody is necessarily expected to be realistic, but submitting ideas you think are plausible or expect to happen will make the game more fun because it increases the chances of actually getting to mark a square. The sweet spot is a medium-ish level of specificity and plausibility.

Episode is optional but not required. (If you include an episode in your prediction, that prediction may or may not have the specified episode on every bingo card.)

Examples by Type

Story beats: Oscar proposes to Gladys

Costumes: Marian's first costume has a visible zipper down the back

Arcs: Larry moves to Newport

Cast: Robert Sean Leonard's character first appears in the first episode

Examples by Probability

Effectively guaranteed: The first episode will open with Easter

Plausible: Oscar proposes to Gladys in the first episode

Probably really unlikely: Anne and Aurora run away to France in the first episode

Examples by Specificity

Hyperspecific: One of George's workers dies in a manufacturing accident at the end of the third episode

Specific: A background character dies in the third episode

Not very specific and likely to end up as a free space: A character dies

When do I need to submit?

Card square suggestions close Friday, October 27. Everyone who has asked for a card by Friday, October 27 will have a card by 9pm Eastern Time on Sunday, October 29. (You can also sign up for a card at any time after that point, because it can be frustrating to find something after it's already started. And you can still submit a prediction if you want I guess, but it won't make it onto a bingo card.)

I can't play every week, how do I avoid spoilers?

Block the tags "#tgabingo" and the weekly tags, which will be "#tgabingo2x01", "#tgabingo2x02", etc. This blog will use those tags, and users participating are highly encouraged to use those tags as well as spoiler tags (e.g. "tga spoilers", "tgas2 spoilers").

Other questions?

Just ask!

Kinda wish i had better drawing apps. Im tired of drawing on my tiny lil ol phone with my finger 😞 and the brushes are literally BUNS. Maybe i just cant draw methinks

[adamsvanrhijn]

Even considering that TGA fandom is small (or not very active at creating fan produce, more like) there's a goldmine of potential ships that are fully ignored! Especially F/F ones, obviously. Marian/Sylvia, Marian/Peggy, Bertha/Lina Astor, Gladys/Carrie... You name it. I saw there are a couple of Agnes/Armstrong fics and while it's not my ship, it's plausible enough, and I appreciate that person's vision for being unique. And tbh I find Oscar/John a waaay more interesting and complex and vivid as a canon ship than Larian (sorry but it's true and that's why I'm spamming to you and not on AO3)

Honestly I would disagree! The majority of F/M shipping content is just about two canonical ships. TGA fans who focus on F/F ships are more prolific, more varied, and, on other platforms, more active than M/M fans (and a good chunk of the M/M categorized fic on AO3 appears to be tagged as such alongside other categories because Oscar and John exist in the background). I've seen at minimum sincere discussion of all of the ships you've mentioned. I think it mainly comes back to your first point which is that on the whole there isn't a ton of fanfic coming out of the fandom—but certainly TGA is unique in some fan circles because of the lack of focus on M/M shipping, which for the most part is fine by me, and I hope the varied F/F shipping and content continues over time. But I would still probably argue that the most overlooked is M/M pairings other than the canonical one. People see a lot more femslash potential. And that's in no way a bad thing imo!

// hey hey thoughts on Jun's trailer?

I KNEW IT WAS GONNA COME OUT TODAY YES. Okay. Lemme just spill all the thoughts I have at initial watch. Maybe I'll rewatch it again later and notice new things. But this is what I noticed right now.

Here eyes do look a little "baggier" underneath, which does make her older than when we first saw her in the TGA trailer.

She is first seen fighting Jin in the trailer. Which makes me wonder 2 things. One) if fans are right and she's gonna "knock some sense into him." Thooooough. I don't really see why that would happen? Given that Jin hadn't really been a "Bad Guy" who needs sense knocked into him since TK6. As even in TK7, it looks like he's going on the right path, anyway. (andwellyouknowimhupingjinscharacterizationfromtk6getsalittleretconnedcoughcough) Especially I don't really care for the idea that a character can go from being a Ruthless Warmonger who treated everyone with no compassion to a Good Guy who deeply cares about saving even a single life because he met his mommy...? Like that's such a weak excuse to why he'd "turn around" anyway as fans are now theorizing. (But as I've stated multiple times on this blog - Jin's transition to a Bad Guy never made much sense and was also just full of flimsy excuses. So his transition back to being a Good Guy also doesn't make much sense unless they come up with something good. And this just wouldn't be... Good enough. And I was hoping that you know, TK8 will give us a bit better character / story writing - esp for Jin - since other than characters that have been turned into complete jokes or pushed to the side, he's been getting it hardest.

ANYWAY - Unless this is like in TK4 where she has to knock sense into Jin to not kill Kazuya. But given that the very first trailer looks like the Final Battle, and Jin is still stuck in the "we should've never existed" mindset. That's probably not it, either. Most likely she's probably just training with him to prepare him for the Final Battle. Or you know, just a trailer and nothing more.

Although she's almost always moving. Her stance DOES look like her Tag 2 stance, and she looks like she plays like her Tag 2 counterpart. Whiiich makes me happy. Given I actually preferred how Jun played in Tag 2 versus how she and Asuka plays in the main games. However I do notice something else...

She appears to bounce Jin with a spike of light here????? Which looks just like how UNKNOWN bounced the opponent with a gooey dark spike. So this makes me wonder if she's also gonna play like Unknown as well??? Which is very interesting. Given that Unknown is in a noncanon game. And that also means that the Kazamas may be even possess more power than we thought. Which could also explain why she needs to train Jin further and show him the power of Kazama style? As well as why she could've been possibly missing for so long? Maybe she's been honing such powers all this time? Either way, I'm very curious as to where this will lead.

AAAND, this may also prove my theory wrong? That this is INDEED the real Jun. But I just - ughhh. Kazuya doesn't really seem to emote anything here? He's just his Typical Self. "So It's You" Self. Like I'm REEEEEALLY hoping TK8 will delve into their relationship further. Because so far, every time Kazuya has canonically spoken of Jun - as I said - it's vague and with little emotion. Which is odd. Given they have a child together. (But maybe it really WAS a one night stand LOL.)

Also everyone being like "CLEANSE THE WORLD OF EVIL AND CORRUPTION?! SHE'S GOING TOO EXTREME, THIS MIGHT NOT EVEN BE THE REAL JUN?!

See? She still cares about Kaz lmao. It's as I said - she just wants to get rid of the devil gene. But as said... surely they're gonna delve into their relationship. Surely.

Synthesis of Oxygenated Fuel Additives via Acetylation of Bio-Glycerol over H2SO4 Modified Montmorillonite K10 Catalyst_Crimson Publishers

Abstract:

Growing global biodiesel production demands valorization of bio-glycerol derived from biodiesel, which is crucial to make bio refinery process economical. Hence, a series of H2SO4 modified sulfonated Montmorillonite K10 catalysts were synthesized, characterized and evaluated for acetylation of bio- glycerol with acetic acid to produce mono acetin (MAG), di acetin (DAG), tri acetin (TAG) and di-glycerol tri-acetate (DGTA), which are the oxygenated fuel additives and facilitate the economic viability of biodiesel production so the bio refinery. The synthesized catalysts were characterized by compressive suite of characterization techniques such as powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), low temperature N2physisorption, temperature programmed ammonia desorption (TPAD) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR). The glycerol conversion and product distribution results were found to correlate with the acidity and textural properties of the catalyst. 20% (w/w) SO4/K10 was revealed to be a promising catalyst for glycerol acetylation with 99% glycerol conversion and with respective yield towards MAG, DAG, TGA and DGTA of 23%, 59%, 15%, and 2%. Moreover, 20% (w/w) SO4/K10 catalyst was found to maintain the stable catalytic activity for three reaction cycles. However, the partial catalyst deactivation was observed after third reaction cycle, partly due to deposition of coke and loss of active sites during the reaction.
