Finished my train doodle from earlier today while watching @JenJen stream. Was inspired by both her current artwork of her cyberpunk comic character as well as the song "Come And Find Me" by ESA (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h5Lzct2_Zp8).

• Pen drawing colored with marker and pen. Portrait of a flapper girl with cybernetic enhancements. She has a short bob cut, dark grey hair and light blue coloring below, peaking through. She has a golden headband with a long blue feather attacked, golden circuits running along her left eye and along the left side of her neck. both her arms are cybernetic and in a light blue shading. She is wearing a dark grey flapper dress and multiple golden bead necklaces layered. Behind her decorative art deco shapes pared with circuits frame her in gold and black. (remote)

It would be so nice if capture cards came with linux compatibility by default. I found a youtube video that listed a bunch of linux-compatible ones but they were all charging a very silly premium for the privilege of not having to switch to windows

What Apple have done in the UK is shameful. Instead of competing or arguing on the merits, they've gone to the last redoubt of market manipulators: process arguments.

It's shocking that the tribunal defaulted in this way to a reading of the statute that is not in line with intent, but the result is that Apple have taken the leader in browser regulation out of the game on a technicality:

I really liked "The Destroyer of Worlds" (sequel to "Lovecraft Country") by Matt Ruff. It kept everything I liked about the original, and felt like a natural continuation of the same story, but also went in some interesting new directions.

So now I wonder if you could make a gay Atelier knockoff called like Atelier Arnie and just get away with it

rmrenner ("The Old Gay Gristle Fest") wrote:

I noticed some of the Atelier games are on sale so I searched Steam for "Atelier" to get a quick overview.

It turns out that there are now two different wholly unrelated H-games called "Atelier [Protagonist's Name]." One of them even imitates the visual style of the logos for the Koei-Tecmo RPGs.

You'd think KT's legal team would have called in an airstrike by now but both games are over a year old

For those into #bdd and #testing and whatnot, I've been republishing old posts (and writing new posts) about testing. Right now, I've got two recent posts, and another one coming about a week from today.

https://ess.github.io/Creating-A-Code-Contract-For-Your-Peers-And-Yourself/ is a very old post reposted.
