I used to build sand sculptures with my kid. We'd collect decorations and do elaborate guardian dragons and give them hair of kelp and rock eyes and fangs. Art can be _entirely free_. The access argument is insane to me, a child of art hisorians. Do they think cave paintings cost money?!

'You are going to come in on time and under budget or -'

So if you AREN'T playing 'Satisfactory', you'd probably enjoy it...pioneer!

I've been in the same one running for a number of years now. Before then it was one of the hundreds available through mush clients, most without underlying rules sets. I want to say since...1993? It was originally BBoard systems, then Newsgroups, then mushclients.

I'm not saying an evil force is designing insults for us but we should check to see if someone told Curtis all his python code was auto-generated.

Vampire bats are a highly communal species who feed their ill members, and nurse them, which might kinda fit in too. Oh, and 'selfish' bats who refuse to help others when they could easily do so get remembered as such.

If you can just stay for a few actual minutes...you can upgrade that migraine to a full fledged stress disorder.

Hey, did I tell you Google's AI described me as an AI artist?

I'm so sorry, Nief. I'd be enraged. So insulting, but honestly sounds like the guy's just a doofus who doesn't bother to engage with media.

What. The fuck. Enraging.

Oh! Wait, I'm an Aussie...is calling women birds just a UK/etc thing?! It always annoyed me hearing my uncle call my mum 'old bird'. Vulgar and mean.

I'm assuming that it's ancient slang for women being 'birds', but it's all very weird given that stingers are modified ovipositors and male drones as a result don't have them. Only female wasps, ants and bees can sting.

What's with the arachnid bee, ffs.

Frankly, gorgeous work - look, the line art is fantastic, but where you've sold me is the colour. Often Art Nouveau reimagined is too saturated - this feels softer, more in tune.
