I always panic when youtubers point out "amazing deals" they found on the internet because that means those deals will just cease to be within a few hours

I have recently been made aware that GTA 6 is a multibillion dolllar boondoggle that may not even manifest and will probably just be a crummy live service game anyway.

Most *movies* barely even break the million dollar budget range.

Contemplate this on the tree of woe.

Very very very sorry about the sudden stream notification, I was finalizing hardware on a computer upgrade and had to make sure OBS still worked after all the technical support hell I went through the other day. Normal operations will continue soon.

How
Why
What

The hell do you even do in the game

Is it like, the game of life with a different coat of paint? Is it one o them board games with a little plastic house that you build? is it a party game where everyone speaks simlish and pretends to forget how toilets work?

Finally tried to stream using my computer rather than my husband's computer tonight. Much technical bullshit involved in making that happen

*This,* this bullshit. This is why they tell you "streaming needs a good GPU," because of this shit

Was looking at stars through a telescope with somebody once. They weren't very *worldly.*

"Which star is that?" They asked
"That's not a star," I said, "that's Planet Venus."

"Oh," said they,

"is that somewhere you can go?"

#nokings ?? what did the king from youtube poop do

I've been on an observatory mission to Alpha Centauri since 2009, what the fuck happened, why is the president a guy from TV

imagine being a one o' them internet drama chuds

immerse yourself in that

contemplate this on the tree of woe

imagine never feeling joy for anything in your life unless it's at the expense of weird people

...

Y'know

Picture that

I'll wait

I've mostly been using this to ping people about the stream and to send insane driltweets into the aether, but my website is there too. Sub to its RSS feed if you haven't, that's the best way to get news on it. There've been like three new comics since I posted about that broken motherboard. Heres 1

I was refunded and the #ebay guy was cool about it, but I figure y'all might get a kick outta this.

normally I love three day weekends but they're torture when you're waiting for something to arrive in the mail which you need to complete a project

do you think the pig that made a house out of wood also had a computer made of wood

When they first thought of limiting the amount of characters per post, I'm sure it was just a cute gimmick.

When they burned down Rome and built new capitols to replace it, they could have started anew and given us more space to speak.

But y'know... That old saw

"TL;DR"

It is difficult to condense wisdom into 300 characters, but I will try.

The obvious path is humble, but it pays the wage of a cook, not a champion.

Never wage a land war in China.

Take regular drawing breaks. Your hand muscles are precious. If you break them, the damage is permanent.

Somewhere in the artistic dialect, there is a gap in understanding between "draw this like with a pencil" and "kluge it together like #collage" art

This gap manifested when the cut and paste commands were invented I think

I log in to find out I lost a follower... I question briefly why this could be, but then I remember I've been intentionally schizoposting just to be an asshole and also automatically flooding people's notifications every time there's a live stream
It's a miracle anyone follows me at all
Are you OK?

y'know #ebay says you gotta share listings and it's just like, where? To who?? Nobody likes being solicited to. I dunno, I guess I could try screaming into the abyss like a crazy person.

On the Seventh day, the Divine brought the Archons into the galleria of creation, prompting them to gaze upon the canvas of infinity. "This," he said, "is not a universe."

"Well, what is it then?"
"You bring your own interpretation."
The Archons despaired.

To anyone trying to access FTLFW: I know the site is down and I'm already working on it. AT&T thinks the router is dead and is shipping a replacement. If that doesn't work, I'll try exploring more creative solutions and/or call them again. Thank you for your patience.
