it doesn't get mentioned all that much in books on drawing or comics, but i don't know any technique that's more useful than walking away for an hour

Ursula le Guin, on the accusation that fantasy is an escape from reality
![[“Fantasy is escapist, and that is its glory. If a soldier is imprisoned by the enemy, don’t we consider it his duty to escape? The moneylenders, the know-nothings, the authoritarians have us all in prison; if we value the freedom of the mind and soul, if we’re partisans of liberty, then it’s our plain duty to escape, and to take as many people with us as we can.”]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hppum4l25hcczzffastsicpq/bafkreihuubdwcftfkvvlnepoaf6pfxqulryfp7ydrydi5fe2pflwz63wgm@jpeg)

Car-dependency is awesome. I love it when the sidewalk that is my only path to get from A to B just becomes something to hold all the snow that was in the road and now I get to choose between trudging through waist-deep snow or walking directly in the 50 kph road

Amazing and infuriating how decades of dystopian writers were apparently not on-the-nose enough now that every day I see things like:
“This is the anti-indoctrination bill, which says we can control what children are allowed to think”

Astrobot is such an amazing piece of work in every way. BUT, it drives me insane that there’s no audio settings whatsoever. The mix was made for one context and one context only, and that’s pretty frustrating. Not even simple volume sliders

Just last year I decided on a whim to check out the Discworld novels. I started with Colour of Magic, and I was hooked. I've since been going through the books in published order, and I'm absolutely in love with this series. Happy Birthday, Terry Pratchet, and thanks for this wonderful experience

Adding onto the #gameaudio discussion! As a relatively short single-player game, Hi-Fi Rush came and went pretty fast, and I don’t see it talked about much anymore. It’s a really impressive marriage of sfx, music, and gameplay that delivers on a super satisfying and stylish execution

Super Mario Wonder is an absolute delight to play. Feels like they went through all the side scrolling Mario games since the beginning, distilled the best parts of all of them, and built off of that

I’d love a whole series of this. Irwin-inspired character doing “nature” videos about documenting and protecting inter-planar cryptids and eldritch monstrosities
(Steve Irwin has Slenderman in a headlock)
Irwin: Oi, we got a rambunctious fella here! What a beautiful specimen
*ties Slenderman's shadowy tentacles in a knot, loops it around his business suit jacket*
Irwin: Easy there big boy, we'll get you back to your creepy forest
